The Troy Times laughs at our North
/ ern Railroad imbroglio! 1t is SO funny
The Troy & Bennington Railroad
from Hoosic Junction to the Vermont
line, on which no trains have been run
for several months, it is given out by
Daniol Robinson & Co, is now pcrma-
nently abandoned II cost Troy stock
holders several hundred thousand dol
lars. tits now leased for a term Of
years to the Troy & Boston r. II. The
Troy stockholders viii be tickled to
death we fear that their road is to be
permanently abandoned and rendered
utterly yalueless to them, 1t is funny
Let's laugh Ha! ha ha! he Hol
no
This Railroad having been abandon
cd permanently the connecting link Of
road from the Vermont line to North
Bennington is also to be permanently
abandoned and the rails are shortly to
he taken up. This sweeps off porma-
Inentlyall dmectrailroad connection with
Bennington and with the road from that
place to Rutland. The trade with Troy
over this line Of roads amounted to be-
tween one and two million dollars per
year. Through the manipulations Of
| Daniel Robinson Il Co. It is mainly driy
en- off permanently. That is very fun
Inv Let's laugh Ha ha! He! he
Ito no!
The Burdens who viii not be able TO
/ keep their blast furnace running in this
CITY except by cartlng their ores by
horse power from North Bennington to
| Hoosic Junction must think it's very
funny. They have already sunk sever
al thousand dollars N horse flesh in
drawing non ore over this route Their
IRON costs them nom one to two dollars
q ton more by this railroad break They
think it's funny they do! Reader, you
ought to hear them chuckle over it ~

The Directors Of the Lebanon Springs
Railroad met in New York last week aud
made contracts to build their entire road
from the Harlem r. r. Northern end to
Bennington. The whole road is under
contract, and work is to be Immediately
commenced and prosecuted cnergeticai-
~ to completion. Thisroad never would
ha4e been built had not Daniel Robin
son q Co broke OF all railroad connec-
ton with the Western Vermont H. II.
aud porsistenty refused to renew such
railroad connections BY the compile
ton Of the Lebanon Sllngs road the
people Of Western Vermont win have
through railroad lne to New York some
twenty or thirty miles nearer than they
had by way Of Troy. When the Leila
non Springs road is completed t. Pc
tersburgh il will there strike the Inc u
the Troy Il Boston RI II. Then the
people along the line Of the Western
Vermont X. X. can come to Troy by
raIi- if they choose but the distance
70 Troy viii be twelve miles further FOR
al passengers coming from the North
and East OF North Bennington than il
was before the Abandonment Of The Troy
Il Bennington r. Il. Thus tile stupid
obstlnancy Of Daniel Robinson & u
has positively for the present aud prac-
ticai.y ior the future driven of our Yer
mont customers, turned their trade IA
another direction, made them tie enc
mics u Troy permanently, built them
new and nearer railroad route 70 New
