The HYDE Park NoWsdeoicr gives its
readers q faithful record of the progress
that the Lamoille Valley Railroad is
making, and it is not ut all sur
prising that it manifests consd-
cradle enthusiasm over the important
enterprise. We can remember the time
when the people of st. Adams were
looking with intense interest for the APP
preach of the first locomotive to this
town. 1t is now an old story with us
and the railroad receives the frequent
maledctions of many ofour people, who
regard it az nothing more than great
monopoly and take inf mite pleasure in
decrying everybody, and everything
connected with it. But to the enter
prise of our Lamoille county friends.
The Nc'csdooior says:
WHAT'S the valley doing towards rails
ing the sineUSP II il that which we
wish to report for your encouragement.
At the mas meeting in Craftebury, TO-
day, week, the people decided to call Il
legal meeting to bond that town, md tho
fair prospect is that they will bond fo-
at leaet $l0,G 600 and about 5000 in pri-
vate lbscriptCnswere taken on the spot.
At the meetings in Hardwick, the day
following, the SUM of $1,000 in private
subscriptions was taken, and the people
there have gone TO work and promise
$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 cur dire ctors have got to report to
Portland-those towns will have dis
charged their whole duty. We cannot
refrain from expressing good word for
the towns Of Wolcott, Morristown and
Johnson in particular. Those towns
have already raised more money by pri-
vrte subscriptions than their fair pro
portion, but are yet at work, and sue
cessfully too, in getting more. Hyde
Park has done WELL but, perhaps not
quite as well as those towns Just men
toned above. 1t will, however, he re-
collected to our honor that we were the
first town to vote the 12-times-our-lst
tax, and that we have already raised
over $4,000 in private subscriptions,
while the north part of the town, which
is becoming an Important and popuious
section, is rather cold towards, us be-
cause it harbors kind Of hopo that
route more favorable 10 their section
may be built.
However, several of the good fellows
Mt North Hyde Park have already sub
scribed for stock, and we hazard little
in saying that more will, and that Hyde
Park in the end, and upon the whole
show as credtable record as any town
on the line. There has been at least
SIS 600 in stock, by privrte subscriptions,
already raised in Lamoille County,
which would entirely eXculpate us if
the road should fail, as this is probably
fully our share; but the enc is not yet.
The last week was as brisk and success
ful week for subscriptions as any pre-
ceeding one, ond we have no doubt the
present will be equally so, and we hope
in our next issue to be able to announce
that the whole sum is raised, with lit
tie surplus for what our energetic Presi-
don't of the r. r.. graphically calls squat.
There are few thousand dollars in
conditional subscriptions which cannot
he counted, and the full sum must be
Then if these conditional men remove
their conditions, we shall have q very
pretty little ''squat" fund.
For the rest. Portland rs will be seen
by an extract from the Portland Press
in another column, has already COM
menced q final locating survey of its
end of the road, and will expect to hear
from us by the 10Th inst, and we must
be ready with q glorious response, and
the indications now are that we certain
" shall. Let every one who wishes to
participate in the great rejoicing which
is sure to follow the announcement, act
