RdiIrOdd Excitement.


d more extended account below, as we
lind the widest stories are III clrculatloh
about iii, contemplated road, and the ci-
feet il, agitation Will have at the present
time upon the LamoiIie Valley road
The friends of the Portland and O4-
lcnsbure road need not be alarmed at
rumors. Ever since the project was fir-t
agitated, there have been persistent AMI
,rmnized efforts to tlwart the enterprise.
" fast a, one scheme has failed another
has been started The efforts of the en-
enies Of the L. x O. road now seem +,
be TO divert the minds Of the people in
the Northwestern part OF the state to
road from ST. Albans to Newport
thence to Island Pond, aud via the
Grand Trunk TO Portland. There are
two serious objections to this line; tIIsi,
it will not accommodate Portland, winch
wants a ,,,,r line: and second, it docs
not salty Vermont. which proposes 10
have road yongL til Lamot'l Iupey.
But to the article referred to, the first
part of which Is from the Burlington
Free Press:
Each of the two valleys which run
nearly parallel to each other acro,, the
northern part of Vermont wants a rail
road. and the two interests are not alto
g"lhcr harmonious. The charter OF the
Alj--i-quoi Valley road contcmplates the
building Of a railroad from some point
on the line Of the Vermont and Canada
railroad up the Mis,isquoi Valley TO
Newport, there to connect with the Pas
-umpsic road. In order to avoid the
jay mountains, the road must run INTO
Canada, through the township of Potion,
l.. q, for Il distance Of eleven mile
Tie portion of the road on the western
side Of this cap. from some point ON the
Vermont and Canada, to Richlord, i
about - miles long; and the eastern
md Of the route, from Newport to the
Province line in the town OF Troy, -
rom seven To ten miles long.
