Prmont Central. Annual meeting of stock
holders at Montpelier, July lS. 1t is expected
that the trains will commence running regularly
into this village as soon as Wednesday The Goth
inst, two trains each way through to Boston. By
this arrangement passengers will go through
from Burlington to Boston by day .light-say IN
five hours from Burlington to Montpelier and in
nine hours from Montpelier to Boston. By the
way, while our hand is in, we remark that our
late statement as to the receipts Of the road has
been in some quarters construed as meaning the
gross receipts Such was not the fact: we stated
the receipts proper Of the Central road, after pay
ing off the roads below, but not dcductng the
cost of running, which is put at 33 l-3 per cent.
If any body is not satisfied with that, let them
wait for few months running TO Montpelier
There is another error abroad, in reference to
the talked of bonds for the lease ofthe Vermont
and Canada Road. The facts are that not a dol
lar of bonds has been issued, and will not he,
without the approval of the stoc khoders of the
Central Road. The whole matter is in their
hands.
