Railroad Excursion.

On Monday last, by invitation Of the Directors
Of the Montpelier 4 Wells River Railroad, party
Of eighteen citizens Of this village proceeded to
Perkinss mill, above PlainGeld, where, leaving
their teams, they proceeded along the line Of the
track to kinuey's mill in Marsh6eld, distance
Of about six miles, The conclusions arrived at in
our mind from this personal inspection OF the
route will be found under our editorial head this
week There are few items Of interest, however,
which have come to hand since that article was
written, which VIC will here present
An examination Of the Trcasurer's Books dis
closes the following facts OF 100000 dollars
subscribed, 267 All dollars has been paid in. The
town Of Groton, which bonded for $4,000 dollars,
has paid 10 800 dollars Of this sum. The town
Of Mansfield which bonded for 1880 dollars,
has been onjoinod by the courts from paying, and
10 none of this has been paid. Plainfeld bonded
in the sum Of 10, 100 dollars has paid 10 goo dol
lars, while Montpelier has paid over 900 dol
lars Of her bonded indebtedness Of 100000 dol
lars. This shows the unpaid bonded Indebtedness
of the road to be $3.50 dollars all Of which, with
the exception Of Marshfeld, may we suppose be
called in at any time. The amount Of personal
subscription unpaid is Is $50 dollars, some Of
which is offset by claims Of subscribers against the
road. The total amount Of disbursements have
reached tho sum Of 26l 800 dollars leaving in the
treasury G,272 dollars. The survey bills and
land damages will reach the sum of $1,000 dol
lars, and Of this amount 40 900 dollars is paid.
The total length Of the road is 81 miles, 3l7 rods
and feet. The greatest elevation above Mont
pelier is 753 feet, at Summit. The elevation Of
plainied depot above Montpelier is 1852 feet Of
the Marshfeld depot 6i7 feet. The highest grad,
is so feet, where the road crosses Nesmith {,
brook but this grade is held for only about 600
feet and that on a perfectly straight truck. Tn,
next highest grade is u feet, from Lewis Burn
hams place in Montpelier TO the bridge crossing
the Winooski near Hubbard Il Kinney 5 mill
The part Of the route gone over by the party
was througha rocky and sterile country, yet on,
that gave promise Of future business for the roac
in It's granite quarTi es and timbered regions. Th'
road-bod through this tract is thoroughly built
and the only wonder in going over it is, that 3
much has been accomplished with so little money
We cannot doubt the early and prompt paymen
| Of the subscriptions already made, and this done
/ The success Of the road is assured.
1 After an excellent dinner at the popular hote
of Mr. L. d Mute at Mansfield, the party re
turned, well satished with the result Of their e1
cursi9n.
