c,.mp,aim valley Railroad.
A few days since we gave the purpor

~.
the differences Of opinion among the
frl,nds of the bill relative TO the tiaal
noinJ OF the intersection of the road.
The parties being unable 10 reconcile
their conflicting views, Mr., Kellogg has
introduced new bill, entitled, IAN Act
IN incorpora,e he Champlain Valley
Railroad Company" The ouly points
or difference between this bin and the
Lake Shore, is that the former bill makes
the point OF intersection To be positively
At the ri!lage o; Fairhsvrn, aud the otner
fixes It. al some point stther In the town
If West Haven or Fairhaven. This bill
Axes the point Of the commencement Of
road in the West line of the State OF
Vermont, In the town OF ShOreham or
Orwell, while the first bill fixed the com
menciug point 10 the village of FAIR
haven, We learn, also, that the Platts-
bureh and Whitehall directors, at re-
cent meeting, have made some condi-
tous of connection which cannot be
carried out under the first bill. With
this explanation OF the points Of differ
lncc, and the publication Of the follow
ing bill, the matter is sufficiently ex-
blamed for all interested to understand
the relation Of the two bills:
