Digest of Vermont Reports.

THE subscriber has in preparation Digest
i ofIhe Reports of Decisions of the Supreme
Court of the State Of Vermont, from the earliest
published cases TO the present time, including
many manuscript cases not published.
The work has been in part prepared and will be
completed by examining every case and the opin-
ions of the court with full references to all cases
in which the same principles of law have been
Observation-Disclosures TO Cverruled cases and stat
uteS on which decisions have been made; with
full references to American and English Reports
Also an appendix containing judicial history of
OF the State, with biographical notices of the
principal judges and lawyers with names and
residences of the present attornieS and council
lors in the State.
The work will be completed as early as prac-
ticabe after the completion of the Digest Eng
lish Common Law Reports now in pressand Judge
Bouvier's Edition Of Bacon's Arrangement in
which he has made full references to all the A
merican Reports both ofwhich it is expected will
he completed and published within year.
The same plan will be adooted for publishing
so satisfactory in publishing the Revised Statutes
of Ibis Stale, by using various qualities of paper
and bi-ding, thus making the book at so low a
price as to come within the means of all wishing
ii-and fine copies will be sold at a lower price
than any Digest of American Reports has been
published. A large sale is confidently locked for,
which will lie necessary to defray the expense.

THE PosT-oFFICE REFORM

The saving under the New Postage Law
in the Mail Contracts for New England and
New York Gust let Cor four years from the
LIST of July next) amounts 10 S195,99O, of
which S9l, 1872 is in the State of New York.
This is in the old Stage and Horse service
only; and saving in the Steamboat and
Railroad service is also confidently expected.
The Hudson River Steamboat contract has
already been made at saving. We may
therefore safely estimate the entire saving
in this section at not less than 100000 per
annum. New York and New Englandh have
little less than one quarter of the popula-
ton Of the Union, but they do not cover a
sixth of lis superficial al ca, and we presume
they do not absorb more than n fifth of the
money paid for transporting the Mail Al
all events, the saving by the abolition of the
old requisIion that Mails should be carried
in''lour-horse post coaches" will be far great
er in the thinIy settled portions OF the coun-
try than here. We leelan undoubted assur-
ance, therefore, that the Mails will be carried,

Herald of III, Both ult giving an account of
the opening OF the Congressional Canvass at
that place on the 25th, When Hon. Henry
Order the faithful Wing Member ofthe last
House, announced himself, and was opposed
by Col. Ir,rin, who ran against him two
years go as an Independent, and now de-
clafes himselfa Texas Wing, Mr. Trivia ex-
patiated on Texas as follows:
He said that the Annexation of Texas
was no; a party question between the Wings
and Democrats, but rested between the Alb
olitionists of the North and the Slave -hol-
ders at the South and South West; he was
in favor Of Annexation; it was of vital impor-
lance to the people Of Kentucky; he, beng
aSlave- hLlder, was deeply interested in this
question; Abolitionism WAS fast gaining
ground; already press was established in
this State advocating the gradual Emanci
patton of our Slaves and that the only safe
guard against The lriles of Abolitionisfs

MIDDLEBURY RAILROAD
,ar-Du-TNT

ARail Road Meeting was held atthe Town
Room on Friday evening last. The friends
of the Western road may be assured that
Middlebury is awaking, and when thoroughly
aroused she always goes up to the highest
point of liberali'y.
Hon. Samuel Swift was called TO the chair,
II. Bell, Secretary.
The Secretary having attended the Rut-
land Convention was called upon for infor-
nation in relation to the deve!opements there
made. He stated that the Convention was
highly respectable, in numbers and character
of those present. especially that the people
from The Connecticut Valley came with a
glowing rail road spirit, and evinced a fixed
determination that the Western route should
rreyaiI that he was informed that al least $50
individuals TO in Rutland would place their
names on The stock book. that almost every
farmer of substance in Pitisford would do the
same, and that Brandon was sparing no pains
or expense to secure the success of the great
enterprise. In Brandon an association had
been formed, one article in the constitution
of which provides foT the raising of funds TO
employ an agent to promote the objects of
the association.
lie subsequently alluded 10 the estimates
Of the Rutland route made by Mr.. FELTON,,
aud contrasted them with those Of The Cen
trial route, and clearly rroved that had both
been nov made upon the same principles the
Rutland route would have had the advantage.
For Instance, the estimate of iron rails for the
Rutland route is $500 per mile; but only
1866 en- the Central, which every body
knows should be at least equal. Surprising
the whole distance to be Ia miles, this alone
makes difference of s35I, OG0 against the
Rutland route.

QUO.
Had this road been put under contract or

cost more than $4,000 or 81 900 per mile.
Since that TIME iron has risen very much
and the prospect now is, that both labor and
provisions will be somewhat higher this sum
mer than last. So that he could not now
feel justified in encouraging the expectation
ofthe accomplishment of this object at less
sum than the estimate.
There is yet another class of facts which
ought to be presented, and which had much
TO do in producing a conviction ON his mind
that this stock will be valuable, and worth
taking hold of bv the capitalists with view
of permanent investments in other New Eng
land railroads.
