RAILRoAD.-The people of Bennington
County and the Southern part OF Rutland
County still keep up the agitation of new
railroad connections with New York. The
Troy and Boston railroad continues to refuse
to connect with the Bennington and Rutland
road thus depriving Bennington County OF
any direct communication by rail either South
or West. A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at Bennington last week TO consider
the best means of opening communication
again with New York, and resolutions were
adopted looking to earnest effort to bullo
road South to connect with the Harlem
railroad The people in that part of the State
having once had the benefit of railroads un
derstand fully their convenience and value
and are exceedingly FESTIVE and impatient
under anv denial of these facilities for trave
and transportation
At the meeting above alluded to, speeche
were made by Mcssrs. Park, Miner, Stewart
Nicholson. Clark, Smith, and others. Mr.
Park. the principal owner of the Benning
ton and Rutland railroad, said that he ha'
within few days been offered $500, 900 cas
for his interest therein, by parties hostile t
it's welfare. but that he would sacrifice ever
dollar of the read before he would be instru
mental in placing it in the hands and unde
the control, of such parties. When he sold on
the road to such management he would dis
pose of all his other property within the lin
It's of the State, and move away.
1t is estimated upon careful computation
that the road to Chatham, Conn. will cos
about 81 400, 900. Over $780, 900 has a
ready been subscribed at the other end of tn
road, and the subscriptions are daily increa'
ing
