Immediately east of the Caspian Sea and
south of the southwestern corner OF Siberia.

ing of the Cars subjects as PRISONERS
These excuses do not seem altogether
sufficient, and it is probable that the hhlvese
war is but another step OF the RUSSIAN Gar

India. Afghanistan, which lies directly 70
the southeast of khiva, is the only lnterven :

the emancipation of slaves in Porto Rico
The provisions OF the bill are that all slaves
are to be free within four months after the
PRONUNCIATION of the passage OF the bill.
The slave-owners are to be Unidentified Tor

The Town Meeting.

Tie town meeting last Friday to see if the
town of Montpelier would authorize the sale
of any of the Montpelier and w ellis River
Railroad bonds belonging to the town, was
not largely attended. james I. Thurston
was chosen Moderator. Loomis Palmer
moved that the article (the only one in the
warning after electing moderator) be dis
missed. 0. H. Smith, Esq, thought some
statement had better be made by some one
who knew something about the matter, be-
fore that motion was acted upon. @. j. Glea-
con, Esq, as one of the signers of the petition
for the meeting, stated what he understood
to be the ect,-which, without repeating,
was precisely as indicated in last week s

where 1t could be represented by votes
in corporation meetings. He did not think
it necessary to explain hoto this could be ac-
complished, but there were plenty of shrewd
business men who could effect it,
MIR. j. A, Page explained the situation
showing that while Montpelier owned one
half of the stock, its vote representation was
as nine to fourteen on the whole stock. He
was not aware, and he presumed others were
not, at the time the town decided to bond
/ that the entire amount of stock could not be
represented by votes, but favored the post

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY S, 1873.
The Railroad Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Montpelier
and Wells River Railroad Company was
holden in Village Hall Tuesday afternoon
1t was quite fully attended, and the financial
showing ard future prospects were repre-
sented as encouraging. But what shall we
say of the spirit and harmony of the meet
ing? We once heard of a good pious lady
who had for Iets monkey, and q parrot
which had not always belonged to a church
member. These pets we're bellicose when
ever opportunity threw them together, and
their owner had much trouble to keep them
from open conflict. One day, on returning
to her sitting room, she found Pretty Polls
cage overturned, the monkey on the mantle
chatteripg like mad, while the carpet locked
much as if feather bed had been emptied
thereon. The lady surprising the parrot
had 80 gone up" in the general melee, tear
fully set about putting things to rights,
when to her utter astonishment the bird
stalked out from under the sofa, plucked as
bare as hound IS tooth, but with head erect
ouA HipCd Odt ~ lONNCoS bO1Co1 W e W -iNN
h-ll of time; we've had hill Of a
time" Although we may feel plucked about
as clearly as was pretty Poll, we should en-
deavor to stand up with head erect, courage
mistaken, ready to declare we have had a
big thing of fight, and expect now to abide
the growing Of the feathers again ere We go
in for making the fur fly" on that
monkey any fur that monkey has.
Seriously, it is much to be regretted hat
better state of feeling did not actuate the
meeting, and that line of policy had not
been adopted to harmonic, rather than
divide, the friends of the road We say this,
not because we have dissatisfaction with any
member of the beard of directors elected
They are good men, and nearly every one
valued personal friend. We only regret
that the commissioners of the several towns
interested, and the larger holders of stock
could not have agreed ty previous conference
upon presenting just this or some other
equally acceptable beard of direction Our
road is well nigh out Of the woods, but we
still need united counsels and sel'-sacrifcing
lsbors on the part of all concerned to make
the enterprise fully successful. LIE every
friend of the read. burying all heart burr
ings and animosities, put his shoulder t. the
wheels afresh, and encourage and sustain tie
directors just elected. till the cars shall roll
into Montpelier from Wells River. The new
board need, and should have, our confidence
and our influence. Their past record assures
US they will work for the interest of tue
read, and we can 10 honor, and according to
the dictates of sound policy. do no less than
give them a fair and unprejudced trial
This all good men will do. We are by no
means certain that the action Of Tuesday
may not prove to have been just the thing
needed. We certainly should strive to make
it productive of good. We are none of us.
We trust, foolish or childish enough to throw
our bread and butter to the dogs just becaus e
it didn't come to US in precisely the manner
we expected
