RUTLAND RAILRoAp.-The report of Ex-
company, embodying his promised vindi-
cation OF his official action, has been pub
lished. lie states that in the final settle
ment OF the Trustees accounts, a large
amount OF claims were presented and
finally allowed, of which he chad not the
least conception" before March 1871.
Nevertheless, he claims, and If unissued
stock and bonds or the right to issue the
same can be called assets, he shows, that
he was justified in the opinion that the
assets would exceed the liabilities. At pre-
sent, If we understand the figures, the liza
bilities Of the company, not including the
dividend on preferred stock due last Feb
ruary, are 1855, $3.50, to meet which it
has assets, Including preferred stock au-
thorized and not yet disposed of, set down
at par) amounting to 81, 43O, 1854. The Gov
ernor calculates that the aggregate rents
paid by the Vermont Central, In the nine
teen years remaining Of the lease, will pay
the interest on he bonds heretofore issued,
and seven per cent. dividends on the pre-
ferred stock of FIVE millions, and leave two
millions three hundred and twenty-three
thousa FIVE hundred dollars for payment
of existing liabilities, and dividends on the
common stock.
In conclusion the Governor says: have
thus given a plain, unexaggerated state
ment Of the management OF the company
and its results, as shown In Its present con-
dition and have also indicated the policy
thought 1t wise to adopt with reference to
its outstanding liabilities. may be par
doned for saying here, In conclusion, in
view of what has been said and done, that
throughout and from the time became
connected with the road, either as trustee
or director, 1 have faithfully discharged
nv duty and done as l thought your inter
ests demanded-with what success this re-
port shows and i submit, In view OF the
fact that annual reports were regularly
made and OF the foregoing votes Of direct
ors and stockholders that it is not true
that there has been any concealment of the
debt or its amount that II is not true thai
lis amount over and above assets has beer
misrepresented nor Is it true that the sec
ond trustees have turned over 10 the cor

The DEATH RATE in Europe is nearly
double what il is in the United States, av-
eraging yearly one ont of every forty-three
inhabitants, while in this country ii Is on
ly one for every eighty-one. OF the lead
ing countries of Europe, France leads in
its mortality, the average being one death
to every thirty-two of the population, and
England appears to be the most healthy,
the deaths being one TO every forty-six.
The life tables for the United States show
much wider range, FROM Arkansas, where
the annual deaths are one to every forty
nine, 10 Oregon, whose death rate is only
one to every two hundred and nine. The
Northwestern States average the most
healthy, aud the Gulf States the most sick
ly. Next to these latter rank the New Eng
land States, in which the death rate aver
ages one to every sixty-eisht.

enjoyment may be supplied, where rellg-
ion, honor, sell-respect, common weak
ness and common interests may all be ex-
erted in their behalf.
The report of the Binghampton Instilu-
ton is greatly encouraging. OF the $50 pa
tients discharged during the year, 1874 were
believed to be permanently cured. 1t Is
interesting to note that u large majority
had scarcely more than common school
education that bya large majority, also,
they were social, cheerful, and drank whis-
key Just before their meals; 236 TO IL
smoked and chewed tobacco; 149 to 90 were
married; 1876 had Incorporate ancestors;
45 were merchants, 90 clerks, 20 lawyers,
81 no occupation, 10 book-keepers, 10 iar-
mers, II manufacturers, and not ten OF any
one of the 81 other occupations enumerated.
It is not to be Inferred, we presume, that the
classes detailed above rs supplying the
largest number of the diseased are gener-
ally more liable TO drunkenness than 9TH
ers but rather that they are able to meet
the necessary expenses of treatment, or
have friends able and willing to assist them,
while others have not. That there are on
ly two clergymen, six editors and report
ers. six physicians and two teachers, may
be accounted for in the same way. That
there is only one resident of Vermont
there, does not justify the inference that
there are not thousands here who would be
benefited by being there, but rather that
those thousands are not aware, or their
friends, that there is any salvation for
them, or are too far gone TO be thought
worth saving. 1t is easy 10 believe, how
ever, if our people knew of the good re-
suits likely TO follow the establishment OF
State Asylum for inebrates, movement
would be made ere long for its realization
in VERMONT Messenger.

BINGHAMPToN IsEDRIATE ASYLUM
Drunkenness can be cured. Let the world
rejoice! II Is a terrible disease but 1t can
be cured. This is fully shown in the IRE
port Of the Inebriate Asylum at Binghamp-
ton, New York." and by the published
Proceedings of the American Association
for the cure of Inebriates," which we have
in hand. Inebriety can BIO cured by prop
err treatment, treatment which is scarcely
possible, however, in the home and amidst
the customary associations of the inebriate,
not by solitary confinement, specifics,
drugs, sea voyages, change of scene or eli
mate. but in an institution, endowed by
the state-since private means and munlh-
cen co are not likely to supply the necessa-
nv ia cilities-an institution capable of ac-
co mmodating large number, where total
abstinence may be enforced and where as

ed is possible; where varied intellectual
