We have not much time to make up the
train this morning. but as we have pre-
cious freight we must not neglect it. We
give in our columns to-day the wall from
the Richtord Sentinel, which we suppose
shows a fair indication Of the feelings OF
those men who designed to kill the La
noble Valley road by the move on Rich
ford. Our St. Adams friends must take
the Sentinel in hand for so indlsereetly
disclosing the real state ofthe case. But
let that pass. What is the valley doing
towards raising the Sinners? 1t IS that
which which we wish to report for your
encouragement. At the mass meeting in
Craftsbury, to-day week, the people de-
cided to call, and did call legal meeting
TO bond that town, and the fair prospect
is that they will bond for at least ten
thousand dollars and about three thousand
dollars in private subscriptions were taken
on the spot. At the meetings in Hardwick,
the day following, the sum of $500 in
private subscriptions was taken, and the
people there have gone to work and prom
Use $4,000 in subscriptions for that town.
Walden, Greensboro, and Woodbury. too,
are at work, and we have no doubt that
before the 18th inst.-about which time
our directors have got to report to Port
land-those towns will have discharged
their whole duty. We cannot refrain from
expressing a good word for the towns Of
Wolcott, Morristown and johnson in par
ticular. Those towns have already raised
more money by private subscriptions than
their fair proportion, but are yet at work,
and successfully too, in getting more
Hyde Park has done well, but, perhaps,
not quite as well as those towns just mer-
toned above 1t will, however, be recol-
lected to our honor that we we're the first
town to vote the 2-times-our-list tax, and
that we have already raised over ten thou
sand dollars in private subscriptions, while
the north part Of the town, which is be-
coming an important and populous stc5cn.
is rather cold towards us, because it har-
bors kind Of hope that route more favor
able to their section may be built How
ever, several of the good fellows at No.
Hyde Park have already subscribed for
stock, and we hazard little in saying that
more will, and that Hyde Park in the end,
and upon the whole, show as creditable
a record as any town on the line. There
has been at least $4,000 in stock, by
private subscriptions, already raised in La
noble county, which would entirely ex-
culpate us if the road should fail, as this
is probably fully our share; but the end
is not yet The last week was as brisk
and successful week for subscriptions as
any preceding one, and we have no doubt
the present will be equally so, and we
hope in our next issue to be able to an
nounce that the whole sum is raised, with
little surplus for what our energetic
President of the r. r. graphically calls
sqstat. There are a few thousand dollars
in conditional subscriptions which cannot
be counted, and the full sum must be
raised ia unconditional subscription. Then
if these conditional men remove their con-
ditions we shall have very pretty little
"squat" fund.
For the rest, Portland, as will be seen
by an extract from the Portland Press in
another column, has already commenced
final locating-survey Of its end Of the road,
and will expect to hear from us by the
18th inst, and we must be ready with a
glorious response, and the indications now
are that we certainly shall. Let every one
who wishes to participate in the great re-
joicing which is sure to follow the announce
ment, act manfully his part before the sun
goes down on Saturday next.
