The Railroad Settlement.

Tic settlement of the difficulties be
tween the Central Vermont and the Hut
land roads was ratified by the stockholders
of each corporation 1t Bellows Falls last
Friday.
The >ettl, mcnt really constitutes u mod
and fixes February l. 1875, IL the day the
settlement terms ale to begin. The Cen
tral Vermont, rs receiver and manager.
agrees 10 pay the Rutland road from Feb
ru:,rv |, 1919, rs follows: The gross earn
ings of the Vermont Central, Vermont
AMI Canatla. and Rutland and Addison
roads are to be added together and thirty
six and onefourtll per cent OF this sum
shall be taken rs the gross earnings of the
Rutland and Addison roads. The Central
Vermont is to pay the Eutland road rs
rent one fourth of the gross earnings of
the Rutland and Addison roads, a> above
determined, rs rent; guaranteeing, how
ever, that this rent shall amount to rot
les, than $4,000 per year. In addition
to this the Central pays 5000 Il year to
the Rutland road for the purpose Of paying
the expenses Of keeping up the organize
ton of the latter corporation. Other arti-
cIrs of agreement relate to the rent of the
Vermont Valley road and Vermont and
Massachusetts, Branch in certain contin-
cencics. and to details Of carrying o 1t the
important provisions of the contract The
settlement is finally within twenty DAYS to
be submitted to the Court Of Chanccry for
approval.
NJ. +. \. Brook, of Boston, and Mr..
Goodwin OF Lowell, in the Eutl,ad meet
iny objected to this submission TO the Court
of Chancery which they did not seem to
fancy. 1t was shown however, that this
was insisted on by Senator Edmunls,
counsel for the Rutland road, and Hon. ID.
Roberts also favored it. The result was
the Rutland road stockholders ratified the
agreement with but one voice presumably
that of Mr. Brooks) dissenting. The Cen
! trail stockholders also ratified on their
part. This settles the contest for the con.
troll of the Central Mr.. Page no longer
pursuing his plan of having the Page
board " put in. and relieves Gov. Smith
and his management from large number
of heavy law suits.

Tie Icrmonter says that Hon. Fred. f..
Woodbridge escaped death in the terrible
railroad accident near South Wallingford,
from the fact that several of the men on
the car were formerly his employees, and
rushed to save him on the moment. He
saved nothing but his vest, and can't tell
how he did that. He thinks that both Mr.
Bjssel and his son became unconscious
Immediately, and could not have suffered
greatly. He was only half conscious him
self, when rescued, and, even with fresh
mir and restoratives, he did not realize his
condition for 4 long time.

Vermont Mail Service.

Our attention has been drawn to letter
from St. Adams, published in the Boston
Journal some days since, in which the
mail service of Vermont was the subject
of complaint; and on 4 little inquiry we
find there is good cause for it. On the St.
Adams and Boston line there are two
trains by which, for instance, Montpelier
receives mail from the north; one leaves
St. Adams ut 3 A. NJ, the other at 6 p. NJ.
The former, starting out so early does not
get so much matter rs the latter, which
brings tho Canadian, and necessarily the
bulk of the ST. Adams. Burlington and
way mails. These have to be assorted on
the train, and put into bags for the various
stations, by one man. 1t is 4 cause OF
general fault-finling that letters date l,
say at St. Adams, the 5th, are not received
here till the next day, with mail from the
south A glance at the work to be done
shows, however, that it is impossible for
the one agent Government ut present puts
on this evening train, to avoid carrying
mails by on almost every trip. llerccelves
the Canada bags only in time to begin
their asserting on leaving St. Adams; and
this mail, besides being very heavy, is, as
any man who has had experience amongst
the mail bags will swear" the hardest
of all mails to distribute. Monsieur seems
to have a peculiar faculty for puzzling
ones linguistic wits. The agent has hard
lv made out where Monpealieare goes
before he is ut Essex junction with scarce
w 4 beginning in his heap of letters and
papers but he hastily puts together what
fortunately there may have been time to
get ont for that place, pulls in the Essex
BAG, and takes up the sorting again.
The number of registered letters to
receipt for on the way, take account of, and
deliver, and get receipts for. is, to say
nothing else, somewhat harassing to :.
man no lover of red tape, who has more
than he can attend to besides. At Rich
mond. Montpelier Randolph, and other
stations he rides into the same fix, and is
obliged to carry by as much, perhaps, As
he delivers. Scarcely any night can he
more than say caught up" when he ar
| rivcs at White River Junction. But, in
plain words one man cannot distribute the
mail that accumulatcS for this train. II
takes one All the time from st. Adams to
! White River junction to get through ii
once" and have what is carried by ready
to 90 back the next day. Yet while this
is more important, an carries heavier
mails than the morning train, II IS not SC
we'll appointed as the latter which has two
agents; though at Concord. y. H., it is
noticeable that an extra man is provided
! bv whose aid the rest of the line is wei
accommodated. If you compare the mai
service of Vermont with the service .
New Hampshire, even on the least impor
t:,nt routes, YOU cannot bat notice that the
latter is much the more complete, and one
naturally wonders how it happens. i
seems reasonable At least to inquire VIII,
the most important route in Vermont run
ming through St. Adams. Burlington. ant

equal to the work. :.
