MoNrrRLIKR BLACK RIVER RAiLRoAD.-It
is evident that there will be lack of practicable
and feasible routes for this road. In addition to
the Elmore Pond route. over thirty miles Of the
Eagle Ledge route has been surveyed, with good
results. The territory surveyed embraces that
part of the route North of the summit of Eagle
Ledge, which has proved to be Unexpectedly
favorable for railroad purposes, the highest grade
being ninety-6ve feet to the mile and this but for
short distance, while the road can be very easily
built, there being but very little cutting or FILL
ing. The examination of the route will be
concluded this week, and that Of the others COM
menced Immediately.

Coon ARRAsGEMENT.-W are glad to notice
that Mr.. 7. G, Phinney, the efficient Sergeant at
Arms of the State House, has collected the vari-
Gus flags Of our Vermont Regiments into two
large and elegant glass cases, in the vestlbue oil
the Capitol, and has properly marked and desig-
mated each flag so that II may be readily identi-
fed. II has for n long time been evident that the
exposure to the flags, scattered as they were
about the Hall and vestibule, would soon ruin
these precious emblems, to say nothing OF the
kleptomaniac habits Of too many of the visitors,
which have induced them to clip and carry of a
shred Of some flag as memorial. They are now
safe from either Of these dangers, while they
may be as readily seen and recognized as before

WEST RANDOLPH West Randolph is again in
the ascendency, and bids fair to go forward in
growth and enterprise. Many new houses are in
course Of construction, and we again feel the
hustle and stir which moved us on few years
ago. For year or more we have remained as
the unsuccessful commander Of 1862, who was
reported from day to day as remaining" In stGfu
quo" The Spring Of 1872 finds US again on the
move
business is very brisk in the village stores,
the merchants are reaping good harvest, and all
branches seem to keep pace The railroad station
did the largest business in April, 1872, of any
one month since the road opened. Our manu-
facturers are driven with orders from abroad, and
everything signifies haste.
"A few Of our citizens assembled on Monday
evening to settle upon some method of securing
to this community a course Of lectures for the
coming lecture season, and it was decided to pro-
coed to obtain guarantees of subscription for sea-
son tickets, sufficient to warrant action on the
part Of the committee. We regret We have so
limited hall room the best we can do, we can
only seat about four hundred in the vestry Of the
Congregational church, which at present is our
largest audience room
Several weeks of excitement over the location
of site for our village school, has resulted in
settling upon the Weston place, the home of the
late Judge Weston, central location and beau
tiful spot, already adorned with shade trees and
shrubbery in profusion. A live committee, con-
sisting of Hon j. w. Rowell, Hon. j. Hutchin-
son, Jr., and Aaron Fales, Esq, has been APP
pointed, and an appropriation of ten thousand
dollars has been made. With all this we feel
proud of our village, for we have at last sue
ceeded in getting that which we so much needed.
We understand the work is to be pushed forward
with all possible despatch, to get the new house
ready for tue next Winter school.
The prospect of large hay crop is excel
lent-bettcr than for years. <.

the latest possible mail date. Over forty vessels,
including four steamships, have been heard from

these vessels carried about 100 men employed rs

only 1865 have been accounted for. The large ma

behind, exclusively dependent on them for sup

shipping which VIC ever knew. We can but hope
that later dispatches will modify the account and
lessen the damages
