TIE RUTLAND RAILROAD. We have
now the pleasure of announcing, that the
Board of Directors at their late meeting at
Bellows Fall, determined to go on with this
important road.
The decision of the Directors of the Rut-
land Road, to proceed in the letting at once
of some 60 miles on both portions, is of vast
importance to the portions of Vermont affect
ed. We have lately passed over the line of
the Eastern section proposed to be finished
as soon as possible from Bellows Falls to Dut-
tonville, in Cavendish, up Williams River;
and there is scarcely road of this distance
$50 miles) in New England, that can be made
cheaper. This will accommodate large sec
ton of Eastern Vermont, and be source of
large income while the remainder beyond is
building. The decision regarding the COM
mencing locations, we deem ljudicious and
must be satisfactory to the friends of the road.

THE TREASURER'S REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE VI. CENTRAL RAILROAD, !
Boston, July %, 1916.
To tie Stockholders Of the Y. c. r. r.:
GENTLEMEN,-I herewith submit, in accor-
dance with the direction of the Stockholders,
at their annual meeting, on the 10th inst, a
statement of the financial concerns of this
Corporation, as embraced in a more detailed
report, made by me, on that occasion.
The whole amount of Capital Stock sub
scribed for in Vermont, Massachusetts, and
elsewhere, was two millions fifty nine thou
sand eight hundred dollars, or 2o,59S shares.
Assessments have been paid or Sc
cured upon 1851 shares.
Still leaving of the subscription,
upon which no assessments have
been paid, though we hope these
will ere long be also paid, 2,os7
The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1846-08-13
20,598 shares.

20,598 shares.
We cannot speak as to other States, but in
Massachusetts it has been very unusual oc-
currence for a man to subscribe uncondition-
ally for shares in corporation, and subse-
quently either fail to pay his assessments or
compel the Corporation to resort to legal
measures to enforce payment in order to
make good the expenditures of the Company,
except only when prevented by unlocked for
embarrassments from meeting his pecuniary
engagements.
1t will be perceived, that the accounts are
made up so as to show the state of the Treas
ury in Vermont and Massachusetts at the
close of June 1t was necessary for this pur-
pose, to keep the books open in Boston until
the eth inst. The accounts therefore, fail to
show the amount of work done in the month
of June. This was greater than in any pre-
ceding month,and as a consequence, the drafts
upon the Treasury not exhibited in this state
ment, amount to nearly seventy thousand dol
lars, principally for grading and land-dama-
ges.
The Stockholders cannot fail to perceive
two things in this connection, viz:
/. That it is desirable to press forward the
work to completion, as rapidly as is consistent
with careful, faithful and scientific execution
of the undertaking.
2. That it will be impossible to continue to
press the enterprise with the energy which
the contractor and engineer have evinced for
the past three months, unless the Stockhold-
ers sustain their officers by prompt and gen.
eral payment Of assessments due and to be
laid.
In conclusion, the Treasurer cannot allow
himself to doubt that the subscribers general
ly will be ready and DESTROYS to meet their
proportion of the burden now, as we'll as
share their part of the certain profit when
ever the Central road shall be opened for
travel,

Democrats of Pennsylvania,

The Spirit Of the Times, the leading loco

lowing remarks on the passage of the new
bill, enshrouded in black mourning lines:

The infamy has been consummated and by
the vote Of George Mifiin Dallas, of Penn

blasted by the migrate hand of treacherous
son! Like that of him who fred the Ephesi-
an dome, the fame of George M. Dallas shall
be immortal immortal to execration i'm
mortal to infamy The Commonwealth that
had given him birth, life, favor, wealth, station
and power, called upon him to stretch forth
his arm and save her; he has answered the
call as the assassin responds to the mercy cry
of the helpless. Alas poor PENNSYLVANIA

the real elements ofwcalth and greatness than
the entire Union besides, she has been sacri-
feed to the dogmas of the South-prostrated
and trodden down to earth by those who were
pledged orally and in writing to stand by her.
The fraud must be wiped out-REPEAL is
the word, and we set the ball in motion, even
though we stand SOLITARY and alone" But
we shall not be alone. The rough, stout arms
of sixteen thousand iron workers and miners,
will roll on the ball nor will it stop till Justice
has been done to Pennsylvania.
There is still glimmer Of hope, but it is n
glimmcr only. The bill goes back to the
House for concurrence in Mr. Websters A.
mendment. We fear that the partizan lash
has had its effect there too and that the efforts
of our energetic delegation will not avail us.

Another Wool Gun.

Being at the house of R. V. R. HORTON, of Horton
vile, Saturday last, and seeing the following state
ment, which had been prepared for the Cultiraor,
solicited and obtained it for publication in the Voice
of Freedom. My object in obtaining this, and the
one Ipublisheda few weeks since respecting Mr.
BREEDS Sheep and Wool, was to do something to-
ward stirring up spirit Of emulation in Farmers
who far behind Messrs Horton and Breed as well
as many Others in the true philosophy of Wool Grow
ing. Those who think they can compete with the
men named, in this branch of industry, are request
ed to forward their statements, with or without
vouchers, that new general plan of wool-raising
may soon be adopted in this section. A few samples
of wool taken from Mr. Horizons sheep in December
last, may be seen at this office.
The statement spoken of reads as rollows.-
