II another column OF the condition Of the
road TO Wilmington il only one Of many sim
liar reports which have reached our ears
since the present season opened. We have
repeatedly heard that the road is rough
aud unworked, that 1t il impossible to
make even decent time over it, that the
drive to and from Wilmington instead OF be
ing pleasure as formerly, IL a burden and 4
WEAKNESS to the flesh, aud lucklees passen
gers who must endure it hnd themseve'
lame and sore jointed when it il over. The
bridge to which allusion IL made IL one OF tbs
longest on the road. IL shakes and sway
alarmingly when even a light single team
strikes it, and the planks are no displaced a
to leave the driver in doubt as 10 whether hi
horse il going through or over the structure.

Marlboro and Wilmington portions are KEEP
up in far better shape. Toe fact OF the matte
is that Brattleboros outlying roads are fell
ing into bad coalition and bad repute in to-
many instances. When our business interest
have suffered damage enough from this csus
it is possible that there will be au awakening
that demand will be made to know wher
our road money goes to, and new way o
doing things established
