of the extent to which the malice of an ed

Comment on the expression of so fiend-

well understand why such a savage should
exclaim, "three cheers for the gallant Mo-

THE effort of the World to induce the

WE give in an other column report from
the Free Press, of meeting held at Burling-
ton, in the interest of the Burlington branch
of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad line
The indications are favorable for the prompt
construction of this important division of the
road. Once built, our merchants will have
an opportunity to sell goods in Burlington,
large market formerly outs, but lost to us by
Boston ar New York railroads. The branch,
moreover, will bring considerable part of
the 100000 feet of lumber shipped from
Burlington, upon the Portland & Ogdensburg
land and TO the seaboard.
The Vermont division of the Portland &
Ogdensburg line is making an honorable rec
ord of progress for itself. Sixty miles are in
operation. -Four miles additional are ironed.
Four very important charters were secur-
ell from the Legislature at its late session, in
fartherance of the interests of the line. The
extension to Burlington was one of these.
Another takes the road across the outlet of
Lake Champlain to junction with the west
ern division OF the through line. Another Sc
cures an optional route to Montreal ria the
Southeast Counties Railroad. Not a single
connection has been missed by the trains this
winter, and that too although eighteen inches
of snow fell IN one storm, upon great depth
previously received. Construction is now 60
ing on eastward toward the Connecticut river.
Westward the road, it is expected, will be
pushed through TO Lake Cha nplain this sea-
son. The eastern division is fortunate in
having a co-worker that carries on its part of
che undertaking with so much vigor.
