uALI. RAILROAD.
A second meeting for the purpose Of
ascertaining what, If any, aid would be
given in constructing the proposed
Brattleboro aud Whitehall railroad
was held at Bratlleboro, Saturday, and
was largely attended by both the
friends and opponents Of the scheme
Since the meeting Of fortnight ago,
when il will be remembered techni-
cality 10 the warrant prevented vote
being taken. grave doubts have been
felt as TO the result, the farmers being
mainly opposed, but Saturday showed
Brattleboro to be heartily in sympathy
with the enterprise Out Of 643 votes
cast 39I were for bonding, or 1879 ma
jority The following resolution was
adopted two to one, although bitterly
opposed
Resolued, That Farley Starr, s. N.
Herrick and J. M. Tyler are hereby APP
pointed commissioners to carry the
foregoing votes of aid to said railroad
into effect, according to the provisions
Of an act entitled an act 10 enable the
towns and cities to aid in the contruc.
ton Of railroads, passed by the Legis-
lature of the State in November, 1872,
IL 49,
pay for said fifty thousand dollars of
stock, they are hereby authorized to
borrow the sum OF Ely thousand dol
lars in the name and on the credit of
said town, which sum shall be paid by
said town as follows: interest and five
thousand dollars Of the principal in one
year from the time said sum is bor-
rowed, and interest and five thousand
dollars of the principal annually there
after till the whole sum is paid
Those towns on the line Of the road
which have been waiting for Brattle-
boro before taking action, can now de-
termine whether they viii do anything
in favor of this enterprise 1t will need
all the help it can get. but if all the
towns would do as well as those which
have already taken action the road
would be sure TO 90.
We are informed by men who have
not been over sanguine in regard to the
road that the prospect now is very en-
couragiug, that only $50, 600 is neces-
sary to ensure its success, and that
this amount must be raised by the fol-
lowing towns Newfane, Manchester,
Dorset Rupert, Pawlet and Granville,
N. Y. These six towns ought to con
tribute this amount and we think they
will We think Manchester could af-
ford to give $4,000. It would take a
tax Of less than one per coat. on the
actual value of all the property in town
Go pay il, and we think the value Of
property would be raised much more
than this amount il the road was built.
Besides we should reap considerable
benefit from it while IN the process Of
construction Tina would be the cen.
trail point 10 tie road and the natural
depot for supplies. and all the heaviest
work on the road would be ia this vi.
entity At least 100000 would be ex.
pended within ten miles of Manchester
aud il would be little singular if less
than the $40. 600 found permanent
resting place il the pockets 81 our

TOBACCO CULTURE HERE-A gen
tleman from san Juan Island, who is
now in this city, has some excellent
plug" tobacco which hc raised on his
farm oil the Island. and cured himself.
1t is particularly good for smoking aud
chewing; possesses delightfully."- fine fla
vor and Is in every way far superior to
much OF the imported tobacco to be
found in our market. He inforns US
that it grows excellently on the Island ;
the soil appears to be exceedingly we'll
adapted To its culture and it attains
large and rank growth. He
gathered the tobacco. he informs
us, carly IN the fall. aud after separat =
ing the stocks stems from the leaves.
he dried the latter thoroughly and care
fnlly. He made from the former very
strong decoction. and. after curing the
leaves, soaked them III this; then dried
them again; and Il second time soaked
them in the liquor and dried them, and
continued this process until they had
absorbed as much of the liquor as
possible. After this process was CON-
pleted he wet the leaves generously
with the best quality Of New England
rum, and then pressed them out into
cakes and cut them up. The fact that
we can produce good tobacco in this
Territory has been already demonstrat-
ed, and the instance III question is only
another proof Of this. We see no rea-
SON why as good tobacco can not be
produced here "a in Missouri; and why
we cannot cure it here and carry on the
bushes as extensively and At as large
profit as they do there. To use short
aud expressive phrase there is lots of
money in it. 1t costs Washington Ter
ritory nearly as much for her tobacco
as for her flour, and if the former
could DO produced at home what a
saving II would be.
