RAILROAD MEETING AT lRASDuRGR.

Vol. cyrus Ealoh OF bartoh' Wien a.
II. KeIlam, Esq, was called to the
chair, and II. S. Jones was chosen sec
rotary. a delegation was present from
the Missisco Valley and other parts of
Orleans County, and also from Stan
stead.
Remarks were made by Col. Eaton,
L. Baker, Esq, Capt. Hamilton of Troy,
S. X. Locke, Chas. Colby, Esq, Of Stan
stead, and several others, in relation to
the completion of the road. 1t was rep
resented to the meeting that the great
question whether Orleans county and
Stanstead ever have Railroad would be
decided within very short time, and that
it was the candid opinion Of many Of the
most sagacious business men in the coun-
ty that if the people did not rally, raise
the funds, and soon lay the rails north Of
Barton, that interest on the part of the
stock holders -most of whom are south of
that plaae-would lead them TO dispose OF
the rails north of Lyndon, when they
would be used in forming a connection
with the Grand Trunk at Island Pond.
Mr. Colby gave an account of what the
people in Stanstead were doing, said they
had already subscribed and paid to the
Canada road-which aims at 4 connec-
ton with this, and is now completed to
within fifteen miles OF the outlet of the
Lake-some fifty thousand dollars, that
they had already paid forty thousand for
extending this road north Of St. Johns
bury, that they were now engaged with a
good prospect Of success in raising hi,y
thousand in good notes from old subscri-
bers and others, that these notes are put
into the hands Of a committee and are
"to be passed over to said Railroad Com
pany when, aud not until, the said com
mltlee are convinced after a thorough e%-
animation, that sad H1'Iroad Company
