We understand the stock for the Mont
pelier Manufacturing Company, has been
nearly or quite subscribed, and that the
Company have organized and will proceed at
once to business under their charter. They
have purchased the property on the Berlin
side belonging to d. Taft s. Son, and 1t is
reported have also bargained for the machine
ry and stock used at Waterbury in the
manufacture of children 8 cabs, willow work
etc. This will be removed to MONTPELIER,
and the new company will carry forward
that business to still larger proportions than
it has yet assumed
Stockholders in the Montpelier and Wells
River Railroad will notice a call for
stockholder's meeting on the 9TH Of Septem-

grant the directors authority to bond the
road for the purpose Of raising additional
funds with which to complete the roads It
ought perhaps to be gratifying to the friends
of the enterprise to know the road is of suf.
fcient value and Importance to float the
bonds needed-and unless we put our hands
deep in our pockets, and invest largely in

tions, will certainly be blessed with that
modern improvement which the little girl
boosted was connected with her fathers fine
residence mortgage.

settlement is infinitely better for all parties
than long and expensive litigation, in which
the courts and the lawyers would have
received the money, aud the parties immedi-
ately concerned would have boene the ex-
pense, the worry and the delay 50 character.
