We invested must of or surplus capital
Gin the Rutland II Burlington, and M

ultimately rernuncra,e Us for the ware
and iarc' OF divers pairs of ,oicrable
2deceni boots and shoes, and occasional
horse hire, some little writing 4 talk

ble time, and the modification of being
laughed at by friends as an enthusiasts
tic mad cap, we fear that our pecun,a,y
interest here will be Of that kind thai,
requires no watching. Bu, having a'
times believed and believing still tina,
the Rutland IL Washington and that
s'oiher road, It's rival, the Uestern cr.
mont are the two most important roads
for the interests Of Rutland county and
Ethe entire Western portion of our State
our feelings have at all times been
strongly enlisted in their behalf as they|
ALWAYS will he for their success but FOL
