Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1869-01-08


From the St Adams Messenger.
The Times was started in May 1853, and dur
ing all the eventtu years that have succeeded, 1t
has been wide-awake, spicy and able sheet,
fearless and honorable in its tone, and has been
Of wide and lasting influence in the State. Its
columns have not been disgraced by self-adula-
ton, nor corrupted by the slime of personal
abuse. As a co-worker it has been generous, as
an opponent fair, and its editors, Messrs. George
H. and Lucius Bigelow, have through its me
diumship, acquired hosts Of friends, who will not
now forget. Extending to them our best wishes
in their retirement, we cordia ly welcome the
consolidated Free Press and Times.
From the St Adams Transcript.
We part with the Times with regret. Ii has
been well-cOnducted paper, and its editors, the
Messrs Bgelow, have exhibited an enterprise
and independence which reflects great c edit on
Vermont journalism. Both youHg men, they
have stood by the young men of our little State,
but not in a way that was offensive to sensible
persons who would come under this head. W hile
We strike the Times as separate paper from cur
exchange list, we shall ever remember its exis-
tence with none but the pleasantest feelings, and
our heartfelt wish is that its able and genial edi
tors, with whom for years we have been on the
most friendly terms, will meet with abundant
success in whatever enterprise they may under
! take.
/ SUBSIDY To THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
/ The issue Of Government Bonds to the Union
/ Pacific Railroad Company is, by instructions
from President johnson, continued as rapidly as
the road is extended over the successive sections
The special commission appointed in September
last to make thorough examination of the, road
reported that the route was selected and the
work well done, and the Company have given sat
isflctory security that they viii build and
eouip the line strictly according to the require
ments of the national charter. The extens ION Of
the road Is being rapidly pushed during the
the winter, and the present gap Of less than four
hundred miles between the Union and Central
roads will be entirely filed up in the coming
spring.
