Though new, the cars run very smoothly
so as to compare favorably with
any of the older roads The route lies
through region Astounding in beautiful
natural scenery. and fertile in mineral

long nor deep. The expense of grading
must have been comparatively slight.
We believe no other road in New Eng

from short curves The heaviest grade

On Wednesday evening last, it way
our fortune to witness an interesting
ccremony-namcly, the presentation Of
new buglc to II f. WnrrcoMB, by the
Band which he conducts with SO much
talent and skill-and also to participate
in the bountes of the table, SO well pro-
vided for the occasion by Mr.. Moor, at
the instance of Mr. Whitcomb, in com
plimcnt to the Band and invited guests
Having first assembled in the parlor, j
A. Beckwith, Esq, was appointed Presi-
dent, and DR. w p Russell, Secretary
DR. n Harris, having stated to the Chair
the chief purpose of the meeting then pre-
sented the Bugle-a beautiful and costly
instrument, suitably inscribed -accompa-
nying the gift with the following address.
Mr.. WmTcoMB The Band have
done me the honor to make me the me-
dunn Of conveying to you,with this token
of their friendship and regard, their ac-
acknowledgement of the great indebtedness
they are under to you, for the success
far exceeding their own expectations
which has attended the performance of
the high character of music you have
composed and arranged for them. For
this success, we are largely indebted to
your instructions, and to your indefatig-
able exertions in our behalf No one
can fail to preceiye that such instructions
come from one in possession of eminent
musical attachments.
And, Sir, may you find high gratif-
cation in the soft and .plaintive tones
that shall hereafter flow from this in
strumcnt and may they bind you and
the Band together in bonds of harmony
that knows no discord"
Mr. Whtcomb responded as follows

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

THE DlsTRIcr CoNvENrloN-We notice
in the Burlington Daily Free Press of
May 18th, call, purporting to come
from the District Committee, for the
Wings of the present third Congression-
al District, comprising the Counties Of
Chittcndcn, Franklin, Grand Isle, La
noble, Orleans and Essex, to meet in
Convention at Hydepark, on the third
day of June, for the purpose of choosing
Delegate and substitute to represent
the District in the Wing National Con
vcntion. to be holden at Baltimore on
the 10th of June
We very much regret that it should
have been thought necessary by the Dis
trict Committee, or any body else, to
appoint Conventions for the above pur-
pose. Allowing it to be proper to do So
it should have been done in perfectly
open manner, with all the facts relating
to the case clearly spread out in plain
sight before the whole of those interest
e.. To be creeping along stealthily, APP
pearing to be right, and conscious of be-
ing wrong, is not manly not noble.
The facts, as we understand them to
be. are, that our Delegates and their
Substitutes are already chosen, and one
in excess. They arc all of them as good
sound, and true Wings as can be found
in Vermont or anywhere else. They
were chosen last Fall, by a Convention
regularly and properly got up. The
