Our Railroad Again.

There appears at this time to be IN
other glimmering prospect of the COM
pletion of the Woodstock railroad. 1t
is already known that the town Of
Woodstock has guaranteed the inter
est on $250,O00 of the corporation
bonds, and from what we can learn the
Directors are quite sanguine that if
$4,000 of those bonds can be nego-
tiated in Queechee Valley, the balance
or sufficient of them to complete the
road can be disposed Of outside the
valley. Subscription papers are in
circulation, and it is hoped and pre-
sumed that our "naeaa Of means" will
come forward at once and each do his
duty, and thus secure the road the
present season, and not each wait for
the other, and conclude, as they have
on former occasions, that the little
which | can, or ayiN do, will have no
bearing upon the result. We say,
therefore, to one and all, if you wish
the road this season come forward
without delay and do your duty. Let
no one who does not 50 come forward,
be heard finding fault because of a
failure, on this occasion, as has been
done heretofore.
These bonds are now offered at 90
cents and accrued interest, with
the interest payable semi-annual-
ly, and guaranteed by the town. Who
says they are not better than any farm
mortage, with interest payable when
you can collect it, or when the farmers
"sell their wool.
If you are owing lis anything
we want it Immediately.

The cabinet of minerals, collected
by the late Benjamin Swan Marsh was
yesterday by his mother, Mrs. Lyndon
A. Marsh, presented to the Woodstock
High School. Some months ago Ho-
sea Doton, Esq, gave the school his
valuable private collection. Soon at
ter Capt. George B. French furnished
additions of numerous and rare speci-
mems of gold, silver and iron gather
ed by his own hands from the North
Pacific coast. The whole forming a
cabinet of minerals probably not ex-
celled by any school in the State. The
gifts are keenly appreciated by the
recipients.
