RAILROAD MATTERs.-The case of the First
National Bank of ST. Johnsbury against the
town Of Concord was heard in the Supreme
Court. at Montpelier, Friday. 1t was an
action to recover the interest upon the
bonds issued by the town of Concord to aid
in building the Essex County Railroad
The defence claimed that the law authoriz-
ing the town to issue bonds for the purpose
of aiding in constructing railroads was I'M
constitutional also, that the requirements
of the enabling act had not been complied
with sufficiently TO bind the town. Judge
Poland appeared for the plaintiff and
Harvey Haywood and Ex-Governor Peck for
the defendant. A similar case was heard
before this court a year ago upon the ap-
plicatiOn for a writ Of mandamus to compel
the town of Lunenburgh to issue their bonds
to aid the same railroad. The court in that
case refused to grant the writ.
All is quiet along the line o. the South
eastern railroad. The track has not been
fully relaid, and consequently no trains are
running from North Troy to Newport.
Comm encing Friday, all ireights from the
Central Vermont road, which recently
passed over the Vermont Valley road for all
points south of Brattleboro, are taken over
the Cheshire to Ashburnham. and by the
Vermont and Montreal to Miller's Falls. ana
thence by the New London and Northern to
their destination. leaving the Valley road
wholly out in the cold. No freights except
local are being run over the Valley. Trouble
regarding a settlement between the two is
said to be the cause. Frcights from the
