The Road North.

velour people have had iViH and found a
Cay for the short cut to Hardwick. The new
road through Worcester and the west part oil
Calais, via. " the gulf to Hardwick, is doubtless
made for winter use ere this, thanks to the ener-
gy of people of Montpelier and other towns in
terested. This route is level, compared with
anv of the old routes, and from three to FIVE
miles shorter. With the same energy ot the
north, very direct and very easy route from
Montpelier, all the way to lake Memphremogog,
will be in use the present winter. 1t will prove
one of the most important thoroughfarcs from
this place; indee1, we believe will speedily re-
quire planking, and perhaps ironing, if practical
Bile, one Of these days. There is not little RI
valry for the business of Orleans and Lamoille,
which will produce all the improvements the
several routes are capable of Waterbury has a
charter for plank road to the Lnmoile; Mont
pelier ditto; and plank road charter has also
been granted for a road from Bellwater Pond in
Barton, through Sheffield to Sutton. We annex
the charter for the Montpelier and Lamoille
Plank Road Company. With a cash capital of
$4,000, and land damages, stills and plank made
payable in stock, we believe the road can be
constructed.
