RAILROAD CONFERENCE.-The great adyant-
ages Of consolidating short lines of railroad I'M
der one board Of management are 50 palpable as

their session ia Concord, n. H., last week, elect
ed Gen Stark as the General Manager Of the
through line, and Mr.. l.. Mills, Of Boston, AS

cral roads comprising the line are managed in
dependenty. Between Boston and Nashua, for

RAJ ESTATE ArpRAIslL.-!Ihe listers OF Chit
tenden county held a convention at Burlington
last week, and adopted the following important
resolutions;
Whereas, practice has heretofore prevailed
of appraising real estate much below its market
value and
Whercas, Such practice has in our opinion led
10 unequal, unjust and oppressive taxation on
some other classes of property, and has led I'M
scrupulous persons to all manner of eyas0ns OF
the law in making up their lists Of personal prop
orty, and has compelled honest citizens to invest
their funds out Of this State where our tax sys-
toni cannot reach them and
Whereas We believe the system established by
law is the only one under present circumstances
which can lead to anything like an equitable sys-
TEN Of taxation therefore
ResOired, That we will, as upon our oath we
are required 10 do, in making the appraisal OF
real estate this summer, set down all the real
estate IN our respective towns, and estimate the
value of the same at such sums as we would APP
praise it in payment Of q just debt due irom a
solvent debtor
Resoired, That having so made our appraisal
We will to the best Of our ability endeayor to Sc
cure the same system of appraisal in other part
Of the State, exertmg such influence as We ma,
possess with our respective representatives in thu
legislature 10 compel all other lists TO be made ~
or amended so as To conform 10 requirements o
the Statute.
Resolued, That committee of three be ap
pointed by the chair TO correspond with the lister
Of such towns of their counties as they shall deeu
best with view 10 getting their concurrent nc
ton in the appraisal Of their real estate.

The DanvIIlc Railroad bond Case.

In the spring Of 1867, the maiorty Of the tax
payers and Of the grand list of the town Of Dan
vile gave their assent 70 aid the construction Of
Montpelier 4 st. Johnsbury railroad, to the extent
of 100000 in stock. In August the commits
sioners certified aud made the proper record Of
the facts. In October Of the same year the com
missioncrs, appointed by the taxpayers, made
subscription TO the stock Of the railroad agroeaby
to the contlnct Of assent but accompanied the
subscription with a condition that the road should
be located by North Danyille village, thence
South Of Donyile Green to West Danyille. The
contract Of assent contained no such condition
Ultimately the road was located 50 rs not to run
by North Danville village, but by the other two
points. In November, 1862 twj Of the commits
sioncrs made another subscription without on y
conditions
The Railroad Company made an assessment of
per cent on the stock 80 subscribed by Danyillc
and bonds were issued 10y the sclcctmcu 10 pay
such assessments. The town Of Danyillc prayed
out an injunction restraining the selcctmen and
the treasurer Of the town from deliveries Of the
bonds to the company, and the company from as
sessing said stock on account Of the condition OF
running by North Danyle not being complied
with. Another ground set up in the bin hy the
the town is, that the road make. connection with
the lAm1illc Valley r. Z at West Danyille.
and has no purpose of going to Montpelier, and
that the Montpelier and st. Johnsbury r. r..
is consolidated with the Essex County md la-
noble Valley Railroad
The question presented for consideration is

East BgRrIN --Alessrs. Hubbard Il Kinney
have shown excellent good judgment in locating
their mills. That they are within three miles of
the capial-in delightful part Of the Winooski
valley--surroundedby good farming community,
aud ON the direct course OF the projected railroad,
are good reasons for the selection. Add TO these
the best water power in the county, and fine
new mill with the modern Improvements, and their
success is certain The building, though not en-
tirely completed will bear inspection II has q
pleasant exterior, is l50xi0 and 10 high and
Is well finished and painted. We enter on the
third aour-which is the Touring Unfinished
in ash and black walnut. Here are four run of
stones-two for wheat and two for the coarser
grains These are capable of.grnding six hun
bred bushels of wheat and twelve hundred bushels
of corn in twenty-lour hours. At present only
custom work is done. but when complete the mill
will do merchant work also. On the fourth Hour
are the large bolts and the company office the
fifth story is for storage, and will hold 10000
bushels of grain, enough to keep the Fenian
army till they will " want b 60 home" A pow
erlu elevator connects this stsry with the base
ment. so that load Of corn dumped Mt trap
door of the second story will be deposited in the
store-room before the empty wagon will get turn
ed around for more.
Leaving the Touring mill we enter the shops,
where first of all we are shown the Sucker. This
euphonious name is given to a machine which
sticks and planes and turns out all kinds of mould
ings. Even the frames which enclose our beauti-
lul paintings and chromos, are indebted to the
sticker for their attractive forms The planer is
one Of the best, aud smo1ths the side and edges
Of the board at the same time. A large saw which
can saw 10000 feet day, is allowed to be idle a
part of the time on account of the ireshet of last
fall claiming several thousand logs " Aud did
you lose them ?" we asked anxiously of the pro-
prietor A" Oh no, for We know where they are y
{" W here ?" SIN Lake Champain." Perhaps
some oblging Burlingtonan will return them.
There are also two other planners, smaller saws
and machinery of various kinds for making doors,
sash and blinds The whole is driven by six pow
erful wheels
la a few weeks the shops will be completed and
/ the workmen will turn out any thing required,
| from a dwelling house complete down 10 a frame
I for the last chrome. And 10 prove that this is
not mere talk, we were shown cottage near the
mill which Is nearly completed and was begun
only three weeks ago,
Finally. these gentlemen have spent many thou
sand dollars for the public good, and we trust an
appreciative public will give them patronage
