NAL toward the barn while hitching him to
sleigh He was obliged to back him some twenty

Baxter regrets the decision Of the Governor, in

think that private enterprise should, and will see

diligently thus far in the matter and can do more
to render the affair a success than any other man
in Vermont We trust he will see fit to reconsider
his action, and put his shoulder to the wheel once
