We devote considerable space this week,
to the proceedings of the railroad meeting at
Rutland last week. The meeting was very
large, and its proceedings characterized by a
spirit of resolue determination which is de-
cisive Of tho fate Of this enterprise. The
Herald says that tho town was literally
tIrongcd from morning till night; and, says
the editor, " IL there is IA responding, or an
Indifferent man, on the line of our road, we
wish he could have been in Rutland ycster-
day Nothing like the spirit, or the num-
bers, has been seen since the memorable
gatherings of 1910. More than 5000 of til,
"bonc and sinew" OF Western Vermont were
met to impart and to receive the determine.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

VEEcrNNEs, Jam ELL becomes our melan.
chny du'y TO record the particulars Of con.
fagra,lon, more disastrous in its results, than
any which our city has ever befn:e experienced.
A, about half pas, two O'Clock yesterday morn.

from the second a'ory of the new stone store,
occupied by the Mcssrs. b. &, d. c. Holcou.bs.
which was me of the block Of bu ldings, known
as Whites Block, In few moments our citi-

destruction "f a vast amount Of property.
The Messrs Holcomb's were all sleeping in
the third story of their store a, the lime, and
we're awakened by the smoke and the roaring
ot The t'imes, near them. Mr.. B. Hocomb,
who awoke first rushed through the flames and
gained the street, without saving an article Of
cl,,hing, and with the conv ict on that his part.
ners would perish in The flames. One of them
attempted to follow him but was driven bach by
the fl mes-when running To tho door for the
purpose OF throwing himself out. he discovered
the tackle rope, and lei himself down BY the
means OF Il. lis companion followed his ex.
ample, all algh'cd on the ground with the
flesh torn irnm his hands and some what burned.
So prec Iia'e was their rcrea, that scarce an
article 81 ln,hing was saved, and some ficelrs

BURLINGTON.

1t is no uncommon thing to hear strangers
bcsiow very ALTERING compliments upon our
town-express their admiration of our varied
and unrivallcd scenery, and at the same time
marvel that they had so litile previous con-
ccpiion Of its peculiar CHARACTERISTICS. This
doubtless results from the fact that we have
never furnished the public tho means of
knowing any thing Of our mountain peaks
and gentle slopes, our silver lake and golden
sunsets, except by personal observation;
while mos, other places Of like character are
represented in every printshop in the Union.
We have no, been just to ourselves IN this
respect. Blu, we arc happy 10 find tia, an
