ALL HAIL ORWELL We understand
that at a recent meeting of the people Of
Orwell a vote was taken in favor of con-
nection with the county of Addison. 1t is
quite marvellous that this step so obviously for
the convenience of the town has not earlier
been taken. From Orwell center, % Middle
bury is distance of but sixteen miles, while
to Rutland it is %. We trust Sudbury will
soon do herself the same favor Galury.
We will suggest Il better way for Orwell than to
apply for admission into Addison county, and tlat
is to wait until the population shall have sufficient
ly increased in this section to warrantthe carving Of
nc5c county from Rutland, Addison, and perhaps
Windsor counties, --selecting Brandon the Shire
town This would leave Orwell but tace!ce miles
from the county scat, and Sudbury Lut sic miles
Wao knows but this plan will be adopted in few
years?

a LARGE FORTUNE IN WANT OF AN OWN
Err. Some twenty years ago,-more or less
"a gentleman by the name Dudley, died
interstate in England, leavinga fortune estim-
ated at $150,000,000. An advertisement has
appeared several times in the London Times
to the heirs Gf there be such)to come forward
and prove their relationship to the de-
funct. The notice applies as well to per-
sons in this country, as to persons in Eng
land. The first Of the name who came
over to this country, we believe, was Rev.
Samuel Dudley, who came to New Eng
land in 1880. His first wife, Mary, daughter
of Gov. Winthrop, died in / 743. He married
twice afterwards, and had, by lis last wives,
as many as fifteen children. He claimed
consanguinity with Robert Dudley, Earl Of
Leicester, the proAigate and God-abandonded
tayorite Of Queen Elizabeth; and from the
family OF the latter, the person to whom we
have alluded as leaving such an immense
fortune, is said to have Decentralization Bee.

looks as if We are to lave railroad. Well,
1t is needed, and the people Of Illinois cannot
do better ching for their farming interests
and for the prosperity Of this portion Of the
State, than to build the road with as little de-
lay as possible.
There is not another such route for road !

trade of the Upper Mississippi aud Iowa with

sections Of country in the whole nation-and |
the whole road made and stocked with engines |
and cars, at little more than $l4, 800 per mile, !
or So, 648, 900 for the whole route.
1t is within the capability of this State to
build this road without cent of foreign cap

in the country, are taking stock; one, two and |

will be a safe investment, and pay them more |
