The Vrnuoyl Central LINE. 4 BuHLING-
TON TnusrEE.-A note from Governor Smith,
oflas. Friday, which failed TO reach US I'll Monday
morning, informs us that at meeting of the
Board Of Management Of the VI Central S. W
s. Canada Roils at Boston on Friday lsr our
townsman, Lawrence Barnes Esq. was elected
a trustee and manager, Of those roads, TO fl
the vacancy ocessioned by the resiguatio Of
Robert F. Taylsr Esq This appointment is
one en- which sIl be parties and the public are
90 be congratulated Our readers will P r.
ceiye that there was some foundation ior tie
remark made in some recent comments in th. s
paper on the lease of tue Rutland to the Central ,
to the effect that if any Of ou- citizens were M
Ter apprehensious that the interests os this con-
munity were likely 70 be LEFT unprot,e. under
the lease, future developments woa.i. show them
thst their fears were grouniless. We do not,
indeed, consider thst any such guarantee was
particularly needed. The msnagcrleat Of the
old Central IL past years, has shown that the in
terests Of the business men sni public generally
AT this point, nave nor Detu matters OF SlEht
concern with the managers. But the calling OF
Mr.. Barnes into the management Is one of the
strongest guarantees possible, ifsny were needed.
lie has been, and is, a valuable aud influential
member Of the Board OF Directors Ct the RuJ-
land R. R. lie is prominent among cur most
esteemed and trusted citizens, foremost in bus
nefs enterprises, and indeed in very good work
having very heavy pecuniary inter asts in Burr
ington and most intimately Identified with the
growth, prosperity and best welfsr' Of our city
No man could have been selected, whose aces
sion to the Board Of Management could have
given such confidence to this conn uunity. The
change is equally proof that the l,enerai inter
ests Of the Rutland Company are filly regarded
by the new lessees Of that road And On the
other hand the addition Of Mr.. Bal pes' strong
sense, business talent, energy and owerful in
iqence, cannot fail to be an element Of positive
strength to the Board. in the ne order Of
