NJ. w r. RAILROAD. SENSIBLE Conclusion.
The St. Johnsbury Times of last week, under
the caption of P. & o. Railroad rs. Toca of
Danriiie, speaks thus sensibly
We learn that the case which is now pending
the I. d, X. X. vs.. town of Danyille, is de.
Tended on the following grounds
L. The town had no constitutional right to
g. That the X. X. Co. abandoned the original
design for which the town voted to bond. by going
TO Swanton instead Of Montpelier, thereby yiolat.
ing the terms of the charter.
3. Whether the commissioners had any RIGHT
to insert any conditions in the subscription So as
TO compel the road to be built in any particular
part of the town.
4, Whether this subscription with conditions
Inserted, was ever accepted by the X. r. Co.
we learn that the case upon the first hearing
was decided adverse b the r. r. Co. upon the
2nd proposition.
now there is query occurs to us If this
court should confirm (as they probably will not J
the opinion OF the other court, deciding il upon
Tue same grounds, why cannot the subscription of
Danyllle DO applied ON the Montpelier and 81.
Johns6nry railroad now ? We are not LAWYERS,
nor railroad men; but II seems TO us common
sense that this Danyille subscription, according
10 TINS decision, can just as well be worked out
on the Montpelier and st. bloomsbury railroad.
rom West Danyille southwest towards Montpe-
ller, and as we learn that il is but or s miles
from West Danyille down to the Montpelier and
Wells River railroad in the town of Marshiield'
TINS 81 O,OOO-Danyille's subscription--would
nearly u not quite grade through 10 that connec-
ton. AS we believe in building railroads every.
where, where the money can be honestly raised To
90 II, so we believe IN a railroad both from 81.
Johnsbnry to Montpelier and from 81. Jobnsburv

we simply wish to say to the Tnrs that the
people of Montpelier, and along the line of the
Montpelier and Wells River railroad, are already
hurrying up and there is now an excellent
prospect that tho road will be built, and that
speedily, When that is done, the connection adj
Noca'ed by tine Times will surely be made.

Making total gain Of 1896 in twelve coun-
ties. The counties Of Bennington and Franklin
will undoubtedly report gains enough to swell the
increase to nearly l4,OOO.
This result must be extremely gratifying to all
Vermonters and was we confess, quite unexpect-
ed to us That we have made 50 handsome a gain.
while our twin-sister, New Hampshire, has lost
over 5000 in population during the last decade,
IS a result for which we were hardly prepared,
and which we repeat is very gratifying.
