If there is any interest felt in this proposed
road, OF in any new railroad communication
between Montpelier and the Connecticut river,
we trust those feeling that interest will be
present at this meeting. We may, like the
man in the fable stuck in the mud, implore
Jupiter OF some other god to help US, but
unless we put our shoulders to the wheel
we shall get no relief. The gods help those
who help themselves.

the hope that the scheme Will succeed. If
we had a suitable hall there would be no need,
however, Of such plan as this; as Beecher,
Cough, Phillips, Chaplin, Miss Dickinson,
and few more of the .. stars = of the lecture

or 500 persons.
