FARE OSE WAYNE Swain, the popular mem-
Der from Rockingham pleasantly writes to his
paper, the Bellows Falls Times, as follows All
the people Of the state on the line Of the Central
Vermont railroad, or on any of the roads operated
by them, have the privilege of visiting the Capital
for fare one way, during the session of the legis-
lature. The journey up here Monday was pecul-
iarly fine. The day was clear and In the broad
sunlight the autumnal tints made rare display
Many attractions will be found here, The new
and grand Pavilion is among the finest hotels OF
New England and is in great contrast with the
old historical structure of the same name At
the Capitol will also be found many attractions to
those who have not been there. don't refer to
the two august bodies now assembled in it.
They have yet to make an attractive record The
Capitol itself is a handsome building, and in the
Library or the Cabinet you will find many things
Of interest In the Executive Chamber may be
seen that large and fine painting of The Battle
of Cedar Creek, and If the Governor himself
happens to be present, all the better; he will be
glad to see you. Come up and see us.

highest snge-day transportation being twenty
five thousand and fity-eighr New York day
and the lowest eight thousand four hundred and
twenty-six, daily average of twelve thousand

"REwAnp or MEnlT, Mr.. I. G. Gilman, our
excellent carriage builder, may well be proud of the
result Of his exhibit at Philadelphia, he having
received two medals of merit and two first grand
premiums over all competitors The excellence
of his work is fully attested by the fact that it
was one of eighteen, out of sixty-ive American
exhibits of a like character, which received
awards in the same degree. lie still continues his
business at the former place and would be pleased
to duplicate the carriages and sleishs which he
showed at Philadelphia, at as reasonable rates as
as other manufacturers are asking for greatly in

RAILROAD GRAnnING,-On Tuesday the pos
session Of the Ogdensburg railroad was wrested
from the Central Vermont and put into the hands
Of the original corporation. The Ogdensburg &
Lake Champlain company, without notice to the
Central Vermont had obtained from the Supreme
Court Of New York the appointment OF Mr., VII
liam J. Avcrill banker Of Ogdensburg, as re-
ceyer Of the road, and he at once took possession
and appointed Mr. John c. Pratt, the president of
the company, as general manager. 1t appears
that the proceedings was a complete surprise to
the Central authorities, and was undoubtedly a
piece of sharp practice which will give employ
ment 70 lawyers for some time.
