LAMoiLLE VALLEY RAILROAD Utter inability
10 effect farther sale Of the bonds Of this road,
and the failure to meet the accrued interest on
bonds by the Portland Osdensburg and Is
Canadian extension, has, We learn, caused an en-
tire stoppage Of work on this road and the labor
ers have all scattered many Of them in a most
embarrassed and destitute condition. Thus the
inevitable doom Of Vermont railroads-bank-
ruptcy-seems to have come to this enterprise
also, and the completion Of the road will doubt
less have to await foreclosure While the bene-
fits OF the road will amply compensate the towns
through which it is completed for all the burdens
they have assumed, the delay must bear heavily
upon those towns between johnson and Swanton
which have freely taxed themselves, but must now
look for their returns in the indefinite future 1t is
reported shat six weeks vigorous work would
fully complete the grading Of the road II so, the
present difficulties ought not to long delay the

appealed strongly to the ladies, and urged upon
them the necessity Of doing all in their power
To aid this work along to look after the interests

nronpty TO any call for assistance and thus do
ali they can 10 guard their own future, as well as
10 benefit others. lie held that a man can stop

as rocks behind which others hid from the reform
work, and were lost lie also spoke on the same
sub iect at the same place on Friday evening, and
though but short notice was given, the vestry was

training Of children, and held that it was tie rem
