PRINCE BISMARCK is as loquaclouS
as ever. AS during the war he kind
" informed all interrogating news.
gatherers as to his plans, hopes and
fears, so he now, with frankness and
candor that are childlike in their sim
plicity, imparts to his adroit question:
ers what he thinks of the new trou-
bles in France, and how they will af-
feet the Empire which he has created
But a careful pcrusal Of the garrul-
Gus Chanccllor's unvarnished revcla-
/ tions will convince the reader that the
Prince Bismarck possesses in high
degree the art Of saying nothing III a
great many sounding phrases.
Queen Victoria has entertained Na-

Montpelier & Wells River Railroad

As has already been noticed, the town of
Montpelier at its recent annual meeting
passed vote instructing the commissioners
Of the above road not to pay over any more
money to the contractor, Mr.. Munson, until
a bond for 5000 900 had been filed by the
said MunsOn, as provided for in connection
with his contract. This bond was stipula-
ted in lieu of and as a substitute for the
Withholding of the usual fifteen per cent. of
the estimates for work on the road. A
larger per cent. than this had been retained
thus far in the hands of the directors, on the
work actually performed, and the bond
which had previous to the date of the meet
ing been satisfactorily assured to the presi-
dent and directors Of the road, is in all prob
ability duly executed by this time, all
arrangements being mutually satisfactory
between the contractor and the directors.
Nj. Munson, we are informed, is the
ground, with plenty Of money to pay his
help, and the work is going on without in
terruption. Work was commenced at new
point east of East Montpelier on Monday,
and new boarding house opened to accom-
modate the hands engaged on an earth-cut at
that place. An efficient corps of engineers
has been engaged, who are expected to take
the field next week if the weather continues
favorable, and every preparation is being
made to push the work with energy the com
ing season.
In relation to suits against subscribers to
stock, having been commenced for the cOllec-
tion of the same, only three remain unset
tied. Those are against James R. Langdon,
Geo c. Shepherd and John Glenny. There
is probability that one of these may be sat
isiactOrily arranged within week.
The friends of the road were never more
hopeful than at the present time, and look
forward to it's completion within the time
specified as certainty. One Of our towns
men has been authorized by the contractor
to purchase ties for the western portion oI
the road, and it is expected that part Of
the line will be in running order by another
winter Recent sales of real estate on Barre
street have given evidence of - railroad
influence in enhanced prices.

BANKRUPT DECISION. Judge Smalley, in
the United States District Court at Burling-
ton, has decided that $500, the amount of a
debt collected by I. w. Gregory and Co. of
that city, of Franklin county grocer
named Bann ister, who soon after became in
solvent, must be returned to Bannister's as
sgnee, for the benefit Of the rest Of his credi-
tors. The decision is based on these grounds {:
That insolvency, in the eye of the bank
ruptcy law, means not that man cannot
pay his debts, but that he does not pay them
in the ordinary course of business that
Gregory Il Co, having reason to know that
Bannister was insolvent, in that sense, when
they collected their claim, such collection
and payment to them became not a moral
fraud, but fraud in the meaning of the law
