ATTACHMENT FOR A NEWSPAPER
The strong attachment Of subscribers
to we'll conducted newspapers is fully
confirmed by publishers. "Stop my
paper" words of dread to beginners
in business, lose their terror after a
paper Hast established for term
of years. So long as a paper pursues
a just, honorable and judicious
course, meeting the wants of its Gus
toners in all respects, the ties. Of
friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break
by an outside third party as the
links which bind old friends in bust
ness or sociality. Occasional de-
fects and errors in newspaper are
overlooked by those who have be,
come attached to it, through its Pc
rusal, for years. They sometimes
become dissatisfied with. it on &C.
count of something which has slip
ped into its columns, and may stop
taking it, but the absence Of the IA
miliar sheet at their homes and off,
ces for few weeks, becomes an un
supportable privation, and they has.
ten to take it again, and possibly
apologize for having it stopped. No
friendship on earth is more constant
than that contracted by, the reader
of a journal which makes an honest
and earnest effort to merit his con-
tinued, support. Hence conscien'
tiously conducted paper becomes 9

In brief paragraph published in our col
umns last week we referred 10 a suggestion
which had been made by the Bellows Falls
Times in regard 10 a railroad from that place
through Grafton 10 Townshend As throw
ing still further light upon this suggestion
we copy elsewhere in this issue an article
which appeared in the last number of the
Times, under the heading, That Railroad
From this article it will be seen that the prof
Get Of a railroad up through the northern part
of our county is talked of seriously and in
good faith. and that the success or failure of
the scheme admittedly depends Oh the result
Of our present effort to secure the construc-
ton of a road from Brattleboro up through
the West River valley to South Londonderry
If, however, after reading that article any
person still cherishes doubt as to whether
the ideas there advanced mean anything we
shall simply call his attention to the following
paragraph which we copy from private let
ter written last Friday by one of the soundest
and most substantial and influential men in
the good town Of Townshend:
