said Company each year pockets the entire
earnings of the new road, and, whenever it
sees fit, shuts down on the mortgage it holds
on the road for the payment Of these bonds,
and the road becomes its own property, with
out the payment of one cent beyond the l.,
OO8, 900 advanced to Cushnan, Force s. 90.
Then, in the series Of papers given to the
public BY the Committee Of Supervisors and
published our in last, follows the lease, or sale,
executed by the officers ofthe O., o. &F. r. V.
Co., of their entire road, its franchises, &c to
the c., B. s. O., the said lease, dated and TAX
ing effect August 20, 1870, embodying in its
provisions and carrying out in full the extra
ordinary stipulatiens named in the agreement
between Cushman, Force & Co. and James F..
Joy.
1t will thus be seen tina: this remarkable
lease, or sale, under this slecious guise of
saving forty per cent. year to pay off the
debts the of company, IN fact amounts to an i'm
mediate transfer of the entire road to the Bur-
lington Co. as fully as if already sold under its
mortgage, with no hope or chance Of the town,
county and individual stockholders ever re-
alizing cent on their investment. In short,
they are sold out root and branch, the O., o.
& F. r. V. r. r. Is dead, defunct, and the
recent pretended election of directors and
pretended maintenance of its organization is
sham and fraud.
These are the plain facts as they appear on
the face of these papers.
The question is, have the towns and indi-
| vidual stockholders no remedy! Can the
Burlington road, at a cost of $l4 900 mile
gobble up road which has cost $19, 1000 per
mile in cash, and which is already said to be
doing business to pay fair dividend on
| $50, 900 mile and is therefore worth that
money!
We have already SAID, we are not lawyer
enough to say what legal remedy is in reach
of the town, county and individual stcckhold.
ers. We have also spoken Of the high char
acter Of the Burlington road and its mana
gers. Our only present suggestion, therefore
would be, that If the Burlington road wishes
to avoid good deal of unpleasant litigation,
for We are advised that the towns are fully
determined to 60 to law if necessary, the fai,
thing for them to do is, to pay back to the
towns, counties and individuals the amount Of
their subscriptions, and then own the road in
fair, open and manly way. The road then
would cost them less than $4,000 mile and
if it is anywhere near as we'll paying road as
the general impression makes It, they will still
have good bargain.

The MANUFACTURE of porcelain buttons is

Enlistment alone employing before the war no
less than 100 hands, representing upwards of
1000 persons, dependent upon that single estab-
lishment for their daily bread. The process is
much the same as that of making small orna-
mental articles OF earthen ware. The moist

Many of the porcelain buttons are uncOlored,
but great number, both with holes aud

some receive complicated designs, others are
simply ornamental with colored rings. The
