Town MEETING IN CoRNwALL.-A reg
ulary warned town meeting for Cornwall,
convened at the Town House at Cornwall
Center, at 10 o'clock Thursday forenoon,
to take action in regard to bonding the
town in aid of the building of the Addi-
son County railroad.
Several speeches were made by citizens
of Cornwall Hon. John w. Stewart of
Mddebury addressed the meeting in a
forcibe manner, making many interest
ing statements about the benefits that
would accrue to those who invest in the
stock or bonds of said road; and stated
what his views were, and presented some
strong arguments why the terminus Of
the line should be at Middlebury. Re-
marks were made also by Hon. John NJ.
Dyer of Salisbury, in favor of the road.
He said he had subscribed literally for
the road, and he would double it, if nec-
essary, to get the terminus at Salisbury
but his subscription was good, whether the
terminus was at Middlebury or Salisbury
Hon. Henry Lane then introduced the
following resolutions
ReSolred, That we look upon the build
ing of the projected Addison County
Railroad, with favor, and that we dc
hereby express ourselves in our corporate
capacity decidedly in favor Of the build
ing of said road and its early compile
ton.
Resolred, That whereas the plan fol
building said road, as to the route it is t.
take, and as to its eastern and western
Examinations, are not sufficiently maturet
that we may act understandingly, there
fore it is premature and inexpedient Il
take action at the present time to aid SAT-
road.
Resolred That whereas the interests O
Cornwall aud Middlebury are 50 nearl.
identical, we therefore favor the rout
that passes through Cornwall and forms
,nction with the Rutland x Burlington
hilroad at or near Middlebury.
