DRAPER's ENGLISH CoNIC OPERA
This excellent troupe, which is an
nounced to appear at Town Hall on
Thursday evening next consists Of up
wards Of twenty talented performers,
and has entertained the elite of the prin-
cipal cities of the Northern States du-
ring the past two years. The rendering of
the "Doctor of Alcantara" by this COM
pany is thus spoken of by the Provi-
dence Journal:
"The piece is replete with the most
mirth-provoking qualiti es, the interest
is strong and well sustained from be-
ginning to end, and some of the Incl
dents and situations are of an exceed
ingly amusing character, and irresis-
tibly laughable," and adds eve went
prepared to see an entirely satisfactory
performance, but we can truly say that
the vocal and dramatic talent of nearly
every one of the very considerable num-
Der engaged in the piece, very much ex-
ceeded our anticipations. The artisti-
cal abilities of the principals are un-
exceptionally excellent, and there was
not part which was not creditably and
effectively sustained"

II. Baxter, has removed, with his family,
to the city of New York (where he has
had business interests for the past two
years) which place he now intends to
make his future residence. Mr.. Baxter
during his residence in Rutland, for
many years, has always contributed
freely and with liberal hand towards
all enterprises of a public character, and
taken an active interest in advancing
the growth and prosperity of the town.
Possessed of generous impulses, he has
ever been ready in material way, to
answer the calls of public and private

future success. MAY his shadow never

RUTLAND, VT, THURSDAY MORNING NOVEMBER l5 1866

tlon OF the twelfth and thirteenth
amendments, the principal Of which l
have only leisure to mention.
Had no change taken place in the civil
and political relations of the country,
through the death and final extinction
of human slavery; had harmony and
peace with their unnumbered blessings,
rose up 10 undisturbed beauty among
the hills and valleys of the North had
friendship and unity stretched forth
their arms unmolested, and encircled in
sisterly relations the broad rivers and
green. clad prairies of the West; had
kindness and brotherly regard, social
equality and political fidelity pervaded
the plantations, and smiled upon the
sunny savannas of the South bad all
this magnificent structure of national
greatness been pillared and founded upon
the eternal truths Of equal rights and
justice to all men, irrespective of race or
color, another half century, yea, century
on century might have rolled away in
peaceful succession mingling their events
as atoms with the vast oCeaR Of the
past, ere another amendment would
have been needed or demanded to the
Constitution we honor, venerate and
revere, But that worm at the root of
the tree Of liberty, that blight upon the
growth and prosperity Of the nation,
that curse of curses and "sum of all viii
lainies," forced involuntary servitude,
has through its decease and unconstitu-
tional burial created the necessity for
adding another and still another gem to
the already beautiful collection Of "glit-
tering generalities," which so happily
crown the head and front of American
freedom.
The thirteenth and last adopted
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and of all others the most
important in its practical results, re-
ceived its ratification in 1865, date SO
recent, and an event so fresh in the men,
ories of all, that every loyal citizen still
feels within his bosom the same enthusi-
asm, the same glad emotions of heart
and soul, as were realized on the morn
ing of its declared adoption. Men and
angels might well rejoice over the happy
| announcement. A nation born into the
light Of universal liberty, great and
growing people washed from the pollut.
ing stains of human bondage, four mil
lions OF ret-cted, oppressed and down
trodden humanity raised from the dust
and mire OF cruel, unmerited degrade
tion, form and constitute an era in our
eventful history, which the earth may
proudly contemplate, and the heavens
above approvingly regard. R.M.P.

AGRICULTURAL BRANCH RAILROAD
This new road, opened during the past
season, connects at Fitchburg with all
trains on the Cheshire Bailroad, forming
a new and desirable line to and from
Boston. On recent visit to that city,
we availed ourselves Of the opportunity
to pass over this road and were much
pleased with the route. New and COM
modious cars, pleasant and obliging en-
ployees and the fine country the road
passes through, render it, in our mind,
an attractive and desirable route for pas
sengers. We advise our readers when
making a visit to Boston to give this
road a trial. The Boston Depot is To-
Gated on Beach street.

The Rutland & Burlington Rail.
road.

Editor Rutland Herald The following
notice of the Rutland g. Burlington
Railroad appears in the Rutland County
Independent of the Sd inst:
ar. & B. RAILRoAD.-We find the fol-
lowing paragraph going the rounds OF
the newspapers:
A large majority of the first mortgage
bondholders of the Rutland a. Burling-
ton railroad are opposed to the attempt
to consolidate the stock of the first and
second mortgage bondholders, and the
issuing of preferred stock, in the expect
alton that they will be able to raise its
value and declare dividends. The road
was operated by the second mortgage
bondholders last year at a net loss OF
$233 $50, and it is difficult to see where
the funds can be raised with which to
pay the additional 1924 900 interest on
the preferred stock and leave much mar
gin for profits.
We don't believe it. On the other
hand we think the road has been run
with great economy during the last year,
| but we are aware that large amounts
have been expended in increasing the
value of materials for operating the
road, erecting buildings, repairing sta
! tlon houses, &c.
It may be presumed that this Is an ex-
tract from circular which report says
has been issued by the Trustees of the
first mortgage, but as bondholders in
Vermont are not favored with copies Of
such documents, they cannot speak with
any degree of certainty of the acts OF
the Trustees.
A statement of the facts in reference
to the business of the past yeaY-in COM
parison with that Of few previous
years, will enable the bondholders and
the public to judge of the fairness of the
paragraph going the rounds of the
newspapers"
The earnings for the year ending 1st
September, 1866, are $787 7,434 81. The
expenditures for the year, including the
large extraordinary expenses for i'm
provements in rolling stock and track
do not equal the earnings. The value as
per actual inventory offuel, iron, lumber
and materials on hand, with the cash as
sets, exceed all known liabilities, with a
liberal allowance for renewals of iron,
improvements of rolling stock, and keep
ing up the track and without any increase
of earnings for the coming year sum
exceeding S250000 90 could be appro-
priated Cor dividends. There is every
prospect that the earnings will exceed
last year. More rolling stock is required
for the increasing business; at least
three hundred freight cars. With full
compliment of cars, the earnings the
past year could have been largely in
creased nearly if not quite sufficient to
pay dividend of seven per cent. on the
first mortgage.
The condition of the road in 1864-5
has required of the present managers,
in order to keep the same in operation,
large expenditures for renewal of rails,
ties, and rolling stock. We hazard moth
ing in saying that the road in all it's de-
partments will nos0 compare favorably
with the best managed roads in New
England. During the past two years the
equipment has been increased to the ex-
tent of our means.
The earnings have been as follows,
viz: to September 1st in each year:

NARROW EsCAPE.-Mr. A. Frease had
a narrow escape from being run over and
crushed by train Of cars in this place
on Saturday last. He was engaged in
uprooting stone near the side of the
track, when train which was switch
ing, struck him and knocked him par
TALLY under one of the cars, and he was
only saved from instant death by the
presence of mind of J. Z. Stinson, Esq,
who happened to be standing near, and
who Immediately siezed hold of and drew
him forth from his perilous position. A
bad cut in the face and a large sized
scare were the only results of the "col-
lision."
REMARKABLE EsCAPE.-On the Berlin
side Of the river at Montpelier there was
a remarkable escape on the night of Nov.
I'd. Martin Day had been to the theatre
with a young lady, and at it's close car
ried her home to the house of Mr.. Max
ham. AS he was helping her out of the
wagon the horse started backing, and
backed off into Langdon's mill pond, the
young lady being caught in one forward
wheel, so that she was carried in too.
Day followed, and seized her by the hair
of her head, whereby he managed to
keep her head above water part Of the
time, but was not able to extrcate her.
L. Lawrence, a neighbor, was alarmed
by their cries, jumped from his bed, ran
to the pond, jumped into the water with
nothing but his shirt on, seized the
horse, which was swimming down
stream, by the head, led it ashore and
the lady was saved. Too much credit
cannot be awarded to Mr.. Lawrence
for his promptness, courage and presence
of mind, as but for the display of these
qualities by him one or both must have
perished.
