RAILROAD MEETING. Under the decision of
Judge Powers, relative to the injunction on the
stock OF the Montpelier & Wells River railroad
given elsewhere, nothing could be done at the ad-
journed railroad meeting OF Tuesday, except to
adjourn There was an attendance OF about
one hundred. ON going to tho Village Hall it
was found to be locked, and no entrance could be
effected. 1t appears that no notice of the adj
jourment had been given the bailif in charge Of
the hall, and he had let 1t to Taylor the Wizard,
who had all his traps in the hall. Taylor
perhaps fearing repetition Of the scenes Of the
former meeting and possible damage to his fur
niture, had locked the hall on the inside and no
admission could be obtained Judge Martin, who
was present, promptly offered the use Of the
Court House to the meeting, but under the cir
cumstances, it was not thought best to accept IT,.
Finally Judge Hall mounted the steps, motion
To adjourn was made, which was carried and the
crowd dispersed There were some hard feelings
the part OF many that the hall should be locked,
but upon investigation we think there was no iu-
territorial offense. II was unfortunate that it
should have SO happened, but the misfortune
comes wholly to the people OF Montpelier, and not
to the meeting.

ARRESTED FOR ARsoS-Our readers will re-
member that last fall two barns in Woodbury. be-
longing to Gideon Bnrnham and A. L. Dugar
were burned under mysterious circumstances
Suspicious oiincendiarism were entertained against
Samuel L. Green, Forest Green and wife and Her
bert Barrett, and evidence has been accommodating
against them ever since. On Monday morning
officers o. D. Town, of Woodbury. and j. II
Damon of Cabot arrested the parties, the Green
brothers making desperate resistance, and they
were arraigued before Hon. +. C. Putnam. The
evidence was sufficient to warrant the justice In
binding the men up in two thousand dollars bonds,
each, and Mrs. Green in one thousand dollars
bonds. The latter was subsequently released on
parole, aud Barrett succeeded in procuring bail.
The Greens were taken to this place by the above
named officers Monday evening, aud lodged In
jail The people in the vicinity OF where the barns
were burned are thoroughly in earnest, and some
OF them have kept watch upon their buildings
night and day since the fire. II the parties are
proven guilty it will probably go hard with them,
