Of the State for treason. The treason con-
sists in resisting the power Of Kellogg on the

The MIDLAND RAILROAD. - Tho people OF
Westfeld have already raised their share Of
money for a survey of this road from North
Troy to the Lamoille river. Lowell is raising
the money, and we confidently believe that we
shall soon he able to show from the report of a
competent engineer that this route is not only
the shortest but the most feasible route from
Montreal and Quebec to Boston. The Canada
road from Richmond junction to North Troy,
now certain to be built, will favor the Midland
route. A correspondent from Orleans county
informs us that a mass meeting is soon to be
held to put the enterprise into tangible shape.
We shall soon publish some statistics of the
business interests which demand the building
of this road, and invite such correspondence
touching the road as our readers may be pleas
ed to furnish us.-Cihsea.
