Newport with the Passumpsic, and which
now constitutes the connecting ink Of the
new Montreal and Boston air line, through
to Montreal in opposition to the Central
Vermont route. Nothing was said on the

satisfactorily 70 all parties inter-
ested in its future prosperity.

sound and prosperous condition. The net
