For the Rutland Herald
Gestysburgh's Heroes.
BY OLIVE f. THOMAS.

Tho the May morn is fair az an Orient cline,
And Peace message falls in our way,
We've a thought treasured deep in our hearts
of the time
When our armies went marching away.
When we smothered our sObs meath the voices
of cheers,
Wars panoply garnished with flowers,
Waved smiling "good bye's" but with swift
falling tears
In our lonely homes, counted the hours.
And we think of the dreariest day ever set
When Gettysburg = conflict was loud,
When dim grew the eye at the tidings il met
OF thousands at Deaths mandate bowed.
They're sleeping in silence, their armor lain
No headstono their daring to tell,
And History keeps sacred their cross, and our
crown,
And hallows the spot where they fell.
Tho we never shall wander to gather the flow
On the mound in the churchyard we know,
This beautiful memory eer shall be ours
They died with their face to the foe
Oh, the turf is as green that their bosoms en-
fold,
The bird-notes as blithely outpour,
The sunset as radiantly scatters its gold
AS To-Day at our own cottage door.
Hang high the torn banners in inches of
state
And our halls in futurity's sun
Shall burn with true pride for our heroic great,
And the fame of our liberties won.
Let them rest on the field that no traitor in
vades
Though DER them no marble shall CLEAN
The light of their homes in Time shall not
fade,
Nor pale in Eternity's beam

ACCIDENT ON THE VALLEY R. Ran
accident which came near resulting in
much more serious, if not fatal conse-
quences, occurred on the Vermont Valley
Railroad l IA miles south of East Put
ney, on Thursday morning. The bridge
at that point, from some unknown cause,
though it is supposed from a passing
train, caught fire, and being what is
known as skeleton bridge, burned
slowly; hence no alarm was given, nor
was the fire discovered until the engineer
of the o'clock down train, upon round
ing a sharp curve near that point, OBJ
served the bridge burning, when he gave
the alarm to shut down the brakes and
reversed his engine; but, too late, he
was too near the fire, and before he
could stop the train, his engine and ten
der, with the baggage car and one pas
senger car, had crossed the chasm, the
engine being overturned on one side of
the track and the tender on the other,
and the baggage car tipped over on top
of the tender. The trucks Of both pas
senger cars dropped through the bridge
and one Car passed entirely over the
chasm, while the other remained in the
position lately occupied by the bridge.
Strange to say, none of the passengers
were hurt, and the engineer and fireman
were but slightly injured, although the
engineer was thrown from his engine
and precipitated 25 feet down an en-
bankment. How the train succeeded in
crossing the bridge is profound mys-
terry, and that fatal consequences were
not the result seems little short of mir
acle.

MANSFIELD & STIMsoN.-In compa-
ny with the senior member of this firm

and machine shops owned by them, and
were agreeably surprised to learn of the
amount of business transacted by them

largest and most convenient in the
State, and their new machine shop, 80

unfinished work, now on their hands,
