One Of the visitors who attended the rail.
road jubilee at johnson, Tuesday evening,
put up at the Union House. He was very
tired, aud so asked to be called in time for
the morning train, and retired, little after
eleven. About one in the morning our anx.
ious friend made his appearance among the
crowd in the bar room (nobody pretended to
shut up shop in johnson that night and
consulted the clock with a look of blank as
constituent, and, calculating thought il
was morning." returned to his slumber after
being treasured by the host that he should
be called in ample season. We didn't learn
how much the drinks for the crowd cost
him.
JubIlatIOn at johnson.
The opening of the Portland aud Ogdens.
burg Railroad to johnson was celebrated at
that place on Tuesday evening Owing to
the severe GOODNESS of the weather but few
people went over FROM st. Johnsbury, but as
free tickets were distributed at Morrisville
and Hyde Park the two passenger cars and
one smoking car were packed full at those
stations, there not being any unoccupied
standing room.
Arrived at johnson, teams were in road
mess to carry the visitors to the town hall
where free supper was served to all, being
the bounty Of the jubilant people Of johnson.
Some $50 had been raised by subscription,
which was sufficient to furnish the oysters,
and the ladies of johnson furnished the 9TH
er edlbles, which we're in the greatest plenty
aud unequalod for quality and variety. Be-
tween 400 and 500 people partook of supper
After supper the assemblage repaired to
the hall Of the normal school building where
music by the Morrisville brass band and
speaking occupied the remainder Of the
evening.
The first speaker was Mr.. NJ. o. Heath,
Of johnson, VINO welcomed the guests on this
occasion of rejoicing. Why should we not
rejoice. he said, at what we see to-day He
remembered when the people Of johnson met
there seven years ago, and amid the stron-
gest opposition zoe triumphed, and the town
was bonded. Since 1867 the people of
johnson had been waiting to see the iron
horse come to their door, and tonight they
see it. But as Jacob laborod faithfully and
long for Rachel and only got Leah when he
expected Rachel, so we have only got Leah
We have connection with the east, but we
must now labor for connection with the west
also. Then we shall have Rachel. He
hoped in seven years to see johnson connect
cd with Burlington and the north by rail.
A. A. Earle was called upon to speak for
Morrisvile, and replied that he had just re-
turned from supper and folt altogether too
full for utterance, though he was glad he
had been called upon, as he should have
been mad if he had been slighted.
Geo. w. Doty, of Morrisyille, was called
upon and replied that ho was full of good
supper and good feeling. Morrisvile had
felt the benefits Of railroad connection. In
school district No. l the grand list was
greater than the entire list of Morristown
before the railroad came. He hoped before
the frost had been out Of the ground three
months to 60 to Cambridge to a celebration
similar to this. lie then proposed that the
gentlemen from Morrisvile give three cheers
for johnson, which were given with will.
George Waterman, Of Hyde Park, was
called upon and made u few remarks, and
called for three cheers from the gentlemen
from Hyde Park. Two cheers were given
rather family, but the third was completely
demoralized by some wag calculating, il
tones distinguishable above the second cheer
-" why don't ye holler2"
Remarks were made by j. NJ. Wilcox, OF
Cambridge, Il. ii. Shattuck, of Waterville
Mr.. Whttemore, Of Belvidere, Stevens, OF
