No other cases have as yet been repo rted in the vicinity or in the town, and as tho usual time ofcoming down with the diseam after expn-ure prvs-sed, it is hoped and lielieved that the disease will not spread.

On Saturday pr ivious Maple and Bixby had been attending a funeral at Essex Centre, and afterwards concluded to spend a few moments in imbibing a social "glass of cider" at the Itotel. Whilst engaged iu this, John Cain, a.

workman on the railroad and a resident of Essex appeared. He was not in quite as jovial a mood as Maple and Bixby, the Junction ''cider" having angled hhn up somewhat. They tried to him up and in doing so "raised Cain" gene 'ally in doors un out. In the mele Cain wa cruelly pounded and kicked, disfiguri him horribly. A blow from Maple intendt 1 for Cain, happening to hit a negro by th name of Antoine, he pitched into Maple with fists and moccasins and gave him a good sound drubbing which ended the scrimmage.

After having Ireard the case Ju-tice Hal-bert fined Maple and Bixby each fifteen dollars and tho costs amounting in all to about twenty-eight dol lars for onoh to pay. Maple was also fined tb ree dollars for an extra blow he gave a bystander.

The new first mortgage bonds, Issued under date of November 1st. 1872. payable in thirty years, have been offered to stockholders anu tne public, ana have resulted thus far in a sale of $701,000 at nar and accrued interest. For these bonds we bare now subscriptions for an additional amount of $300,000, leaving $500,000 to be sold.

Tho dividend scrip outstanding, including dividend number eleven, duo 1st proximo, will absorb $210,000, leaving only about $200,000.

being 13 per cent of the gross earnings for the same period. When we take into consideration the advantages gained in tho doing away of competition, resulting in an increase of earnings on the old A ermont Central road, wo are led to the conclusion that with the natural increase of business on your road the lease will prove profitable to the lessees. In this connection I would remark, that the business of one firm established on your road during the past year.it is expected, ill yield at least $75,000 additional froight earnings next year. The local traffic, with proper facilities, is always the best business of a railroad. An earnest effort to promote and increase the local business will surely bring better results than a policy that reaches out for a through traffic, upon which tho percentage of profit would, if anything, be very small.

On motion of I). X. Skillings of Boston, the report was bid on the table. The president presented communications by Lawrence Barnes of Burlington, and 1). N.

Williams of Bellows Falls and James W. Ilickok of Burlington. Each of thee received 18.519 votes, except John B. Page who received while 1,014 votes were cast for Lawrence Barnes, and 41 for Mr. Skillings.

On motion of Mr. Earle.of Newburyport, the directors were authorized to accept a surrender or re-assignment of the steamer Oakes Ames, the Montreal Plattsburgh railroad, and the Whitehall Plattsburgh railroad, from the trustees and managers of the Vermont Central and the Vermont Canada railroads, and transfer, lease and sell the same to the New York A. Canada Railroad Company, or the Delaware A Hudson Canal Company. Bradley B. Smalley moved that the report be accepted, and that tho report of the president, treasurer and auditor, together with the official proceedings of this menting, bo printed and distributed to the stockholders.

D. N. Skillings said he hoped that the re- Eorts would not lie accepted, because, in is opinion, it was not correct. He.wanted it referred to a committee for investigation. James W.

Hickok, of Burlington, said he had made the subject of the printed report (that of 1872) a matter of special study, and that tho report of the president made today was what he should have expected. It seemed to him, after this matter had been examined, passed on and accepted by the courts and a large number of stockholders, he thought it foolish to reopen the subject He thought the report was correct, and that the only effect of an investigation would be to injure tho securities of the road.

B. Smalley demanded a stock vote. fiov. Page said that a.s fir as he was concerned he had no objection to an investigation, lut rather courted one, as it might finally set the matter to rest.

The Note being taken, resulted as follows For tho motion, 1,852 against the motion, 27.141. The committee further reported that sixteen stockholders oted no nnd six voted yes. and so the motion was not adopted. On motion the meeting was dissolved. Immediately alter the adjournment the directors organiitd by the unanimous election of John B.

llage as president. The HeralJ, from which we condense our report, says With the same success that the managers have experienced the past year, we may expect that at the next annual meeting the road will find itseir free from all liabilities, except on its stock and funded debt. An imnortant step was taken. vest.wday, in authorizing the surrender, by the trustees and manazers of the Vermont and Vermont Jt Canada railroads, of the leases of the Whitehall Plattsburgh and Plattsburgh railroads, and' the leasing or transfer ol the same to the 2vew York Canada railroad, or. in effect.

to the Delaware Hudson Canal Company. 'Tiis action will not affect the receipts of tlie Rutland road, as the rental received by them was the same that they vrere compell ed to pay to those roads, the arrangement, howercr, will aid the managers of the Central, in their embarrassment, as it is understood that the losses which they are said to have suUerea oy reason ot the Holland Imoi nmieinnl in innnMliiin with lease.1' were occasioned in connection with the repairs and running of these roads. The sale of the steamer Oakes Ames," which was also authorized, will result in reducing the Coating indebtedness to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. The increase of some eisht per cent, in the gross income of the road, is also gratifying, and is an indication of what may be expected in the future. On the whole, the Rutland railroad, as well as its lessees.

the delegates and members in attendance marched to the music of the St. Albans Brigade Band to the Weldcn Housp, where the encampment sat down, as the guests of Post Baldy Smith, to a very elegant dinner. Tho dining-hall of the VVelilen was handsomely decorated with the national colors, and festoots of rJ, white and blue, with wreaths of evergreen, and the initials of the Grand Army and the Post. About a hundred soldiers, with a number of ladies, filled the tables. A beautifully printed and illuminated bill of fare, from the press of Comrade Clarke, set forth under the heading of Hard Tack and Salt Horse," a tempting list of substantial and delicacies, which were served in the handsome stylo of the Welden.

All the local arrangements did the utmost credit to the members of Post Baldy Smith, whose mem- 4rs left nothing unthought of or unpro vided in the way of cordial hospitality and care lor the comfort of the delegate and attending members, and the spirit and action of the convention throughout was such as could not fail to conduce to the prosperity of the patriotic order, whose in terests it had in charge.

A bill has been reported in the Legiila ture of Maine providing for a general rail road law.

The New London Northern railroad nei cr was leased by the Vermont Central, but by three of tho managers ot that company, the lease containing a prsvision whereby it may at a proper time be transferred to tho Vermont Central, and to that company alohe. As the same parties who took the Tease of the road still bold it, the "emancipation" lately reported must be taken in a figurative sense.

The report probably arose from tho fact that the managers of the road have chosen anew superintendent, and, for its more efficient management, established its headquarters at New London. T'O Boston AJreriisrr states that one of the 'iborcrs who applied to the citizens' relief committee has returned from Vermont, after a fortnight in the employ of tho "meanest man." He went in answer to the application of a farmer for a laborer, and uftcr two weeks' working and living on the poorest kind of fare, asked what his wages were to be. He was somewhat surprised to learn that bo was working for his board and clothes, and a little more astonished when the generous man charged him the last shilling he had to carry him to the railroad station. This mean man should bo shown up. "What's his name and where's his hainc?" A clear case of recklessness, according to the Boston Globe, lias been established against tho managers of the Boston and Albany Railroad.

The recent accident at Middlefield, it appears, is now shown to have resulted from a neglect on the part of the company to rebuild or strengthen the bridge that broke down on that occasion. A warning of its dangerous condition is said to have been sent to thechief office fully six months ago, since which time nothing whatever was done to prevent a possible catastrophe. It is claimed oa behalf of the company that the accident would not liave occurred but for the breaking of a brake-beam of one of the cars. Tills may be strictly true, but, as tlie Globe says, the fact still remains that the warning to look to the bridge, although given iu good time, did not receive the slightest attention. The Concord Statesman thus sums up tho prospect for the New Hampshire election in March It is in tho power of the Republicans to elect each of their candidates for Congress, but work will be required and mnchofit.

It is not a year when the people can be wrought up to such a pitch as during either the years of the war, or as they were in March, "lsOS and March, 1372, because then New Hampshire led otf in a Presidential year, and the Republicans of New Hamn-hire felt bound to do their utmobt in behalf of their political brethren throughout the Union. Now our election becomes an isolated and must be regarded accordingly. We look for a Iiandsoine majority for Gov. Straw only, however, upon the presumption that the Republicans have resolved they will never again be beaten by-accidents. Dr.
