| desire to correct rumor which appears
to be gaining some eredenoe, to the effect
that the Burlington and Lamoille Railroad
has been sold or leased to the Central Yer
mont Railroad. Nothing # the sort has
been done or contemplated. An ordinary
traffic contract has recently been entered
into between the two companies for the
business to st. Johnsbury and the through
business to Portland and other Eastern
points. The managers of the Portland and
Ogdensburg Railroad, Vermont Division,
adopted tho policy of making very mnch
lower rates from Miquam Bay to ST.
Johnsbury than they were willing to &C.
cept from Us, and this made it imperatively
necessary to provide some new route for this
traffic. 10 make sure provision Tor TINS,
without prejudice to any interest oil Bur
lington or the other town, on the line, 1t
was necessary to make new line Tor
through business By the terms of the con-
tract no advance can be made in the present
unusually low rates, without our consent
No change whatever has been made by
this contract in the local business, and We
shall continue to use every effort to give the
best possible accommodations to the local
business of our road and of the Lamoille
Valley. A new arrangement OF trains Will
go into effect next Wednesday, which, it is
believed, will be much better for all the
patrons of the road,

AGRICULTURAL HORSES.

AT the February meeting of the Teviot
dale farmers club, Mr.. Thomas Brown
Edinburgh, in introducing the question oil
the Most proftsble and useful breed oil
horses for agriculture in this district" said
For many years Clydesdale horses have
been mostly used in this and other coun-
tries, aud have been very profitable tc
breeders, as many of them have been solo
at very high prices. With few exceptions
they have brought more money than any
other breed in the world. l think i. is d
great mistake in many farmers trying ,o
breed from old wrought out mares, useless
for ANYTHING else, and often too old for that
purpose. BY using Young sound mares you
have q better prospect of getting more val.
liable horses. l. therefore, think that
breeding first class Clydesdalc horses for
sale is the most profitable course; but for
usefulness l consider smooth legged horses,
with strength and a little breeding, will
stand more fatigue, be as easy kept, and not
so liable to lsmeness from cracked heels,
grease, etc, and can be bought at q much
lower price than Clydesda]e. l had q
good deal of experience in driving, and al.
ways found the best bred could always 70
TO the longest journey; the same in hunt
ing. Forty years ago it was q rare sight to
see a thoroughbred 10 the hunting neld.
New you will seldom see . halfbreed.
Some years ago you had some chance of
winning q hunters stake with q alf.bred
but now you require a thoroughbred to
win even q small stake London Liz
