VERMONT CENTRAL. The annual meeting of
the stockholders, holden here on Friday last, was
well attended considering the distance for the
Boston stockholders, and the rain, preventing the
presence of many residing nearer. Last years
Board of Directors was reelected by e unanim.
Gus vote, aud at a meeting of the Board all the
officers of the company were re. elected, also
unanimously: SO the company is represented as
follows:
Directors Charles Paine of Mortified, VT,
Robert g. Shaw and Samuel S. Lewis of Bos-
Ton Mass, Jacob Forster of Charlestown, Mass,
John Peck of Burlington, VT, Daniel White of
Charlesown, Mass. and Lucius B. Peck of Mont
peler VI. Charles Paine, President; S. II.
VALLEY, Jr., Treasurer; T. P. Walton Jr., Clerk.
The Reports of the Directors and Treasurer
will be published entire in our next; suffice it
now to say, that the reports present an encoura-
gng account Of the progress of the work and of
future prospects. Measures have been adopted
for opening the road to Mortified by the list of
January next, and it is hoped that this may be
accomplished, notwithstanding the lateness of
the Spring and the difficulty, on this lire well
as others, of procuring all the force required to
work-a difficulty Which probably is pretty much
at an end, as large numbers of emigrants are
pouring into the country. We must not omit to
say that the meeting was addressed by E. Il.
Derby Esq. of Boston, distinguished railroad
advocate and gentleman of much experience
in matters of this sort, by S. II. WalleyJr. Esq,
the Treasurer of this Company as well as Of the
Cgdensburg Company, -and also, briefly, by S.
St. John, Esq. of Charlestown, N. II. Their re-
marks were directed mainly to the Ogdonsburg
road, and its connection through the Central and
other roads with Boston, and were listened to
with much interest Sales of Central stock in
