PROCLAMATION

WnsBBAs, 1t has been made 10 appear
~ petitions and representations from
ne people OF the Southwestern part OF
his State, addressed to me that the
Trey d. Boston Railroad, corporation
existing under the laws OF the State OF
New York has, since the 10th OF Janu-
AIRY, 1867, without Just cause, refused to
ssnnect for the transportation OF pas
sepgers and freight in any way with the
Bennington L. Rutland, formerly the
Western Vernon. Railroad;
And Is has been made further to APP
pear that this refusal has deprived the
inhabitants OF that part OF the State OF
direct railroad communication with the
South and West, to the great damage OF
their large manufacturing, commercial
and agricultural interests;
And 1t has been made further to APP
pear that the people of that portion OF
the State desire some immediate legisla-
uon which is necessary TO enable them
10 take such action by building new
railroad as will give them, within one
year, direct railroad communication
South and West;
And it has been made further to APP
pear that II Obliged TO wait for this
legislation until the annual session OF
she General Assembly, the building of the
proposed railroad will he deferred at
least one year, and the interests already
severely suffering will receive great, and
in some cases, irreparable injury, while
the eg'slation desired would much les
sen, II no. wholly avert, the threatened
ruin Of large and valuable manufactur'
ing Industries;
And it has been made further to APP
pear, that railroad and business inter
ests in other parts of the State would
be greatly benefited by legislation al
this time, and
WHEREAS, The representations are
sufficient, in my judgment, to make II
my official duty to convoke the General
Assembly in special session;
Now, therefore, l, PAUL DrLLISGHAh
Governor of Vermont, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitu'
tion, do issue this, my proclamation
converting the General Assembly IN
special session, and I do hereby sum
mon the members OF the Senate and
House of Representatives to meet IN
their respective chambers at Montpelier
together with the officers OF the two
houses, on WEDNESDAY, THE 27rH
DAY OF MARCH, A. D. 1867, at II
o'clock In the forenoon, for the purpos'
of such legislative action as they maj
Mink proper.
Given under my hand AMI the sea

Chamber, at Montpelier, thi

which measures 7 IL inches in circum-
ference the longest way and 6 inches the
shortest way, and weighs one-fourth Of

have ever seen, considering that unlike
most similar productions it Is perfect in

The Camden Road Improvement.

EDIroR ARGUs.-I notice that the City
Council is advertising for proposals to Nc
Adamize the Camden road. This is a good
and much needed improvement, and as the
City has plenty of stone in '0ntaria, Pearl
and Main streets, between Canal and Tole'
do streets, in the First Ward, it would, in my
opinion, be cheaper to have the road Nc
Adamized under the direction of the super
visor. The stone can be quarried for fifty
cents per cubic yard the breaking of the
stone will cost less than fifty cents per yard
or in blasting out the stone large part OF
it will be broken to the right size to go on
the, road; the handling will cost not to ex
coed fifty cents per yard; the superintend-
ing about ten cents per yard. The grading
of the road is very light. Besides costing
less, there is another consideration why it
would be better for the taxpayers, viz UNI
der the supervisor the work would be given
to the resident taxpayer under the contrac
tor it would be his interest to employ men
whip would work the. cheapest = probably
men from other places. 1t is also true thai
q contractor will not take a job unless he
can make profit of twenty-five per cent
which viii be one thousand dollars out of the
four thousand to be expended on the road
This profit on the job can. be saved to the
City by having it attended to by the supervi
sor, under the direction of the Committee
appointed by the City Council.

The HARVEST - The farmers of this
county are in the midst of their wheat har-
vest, and reports, so far, are indicative of a
fair yield. Some fields are remarkably
good, others thin, and many complain of the
"spot," or as some call it, the "scab' or
flight -scattering heads, all over the, field
struck with disease and thus injuring the
wh2le crop. Still the general yield and
quality is believed to be very fair.
Corn is late, but is coming forward with
rapid strides.
Potatoes, ii. is thought, though much in
jured By the bug, will not be an entire fail
