A PLrAsAsr Rourr TO BosroN..

A PLEASANT ROUTE TO BOSTON,
We would call attention TO the railroad
route recently opened to Boston running
from Fitchburg, through Clinton, North
boro, Marlboro, birmingham and other
towns, terminating at the Worcester De-
not. opposite the United States Hotel, in
the Southern and most pleasant part OF
the CITY. Much of the travel that former
" went over the Fitchburg road to Bos-
ton, now takes this new route, as many
who visit and do business in that part OF
the city find it much more convenient, and
the route itself is very pleasant one
An additional advantage has recently been
obtained for this route in the fact that all
the connecting roads, including the Cheshire
Rutland & Burlington, and Vermont Gen.
trail, have made arrangements by which
passengers and freight are ticketed ovel
it, The name of this new road, as many
of our readers know, has been changed
and is now called " Boston, Clinton q
Fitchburg Railroad" We can cordial.
recommend all our friends who have oc
casion 10 go to Boston from this direction
to try the new road.

FIRE Poor STOVE PIPE.-Among
the new inventions is one of Fire Proof
Joint for Stove Pipe, by Milliken & Pills
bury, which was patented in May last, ana
which will doubtless prove to be very use
full. It's claims are perfect connection be-
tween the stove and chimney and security
against fires the construction being such
that the joints cannot come apart, nor can
any creosote or smoke escape at the joints
as in the old way. 1t is also so strong
that no wire is needed in putting up pipe
except on very long lengths. 1t is COM
mended by the insurance companies, which
is pretty good sign of its merits. The
patentees have just begun TO introduce it
to the country, and are now disposing OF
rights in towns and counties, and we learn
that Mr.. L. III. Eastman of Grafton, has
been appointed general agent OF the en-
tire State of Massachusetts, for the sale OF
State, County and town rights.

ATTEMPTED HIGH WAY ROBBERY
On Monday evening last, Mr.. c. w. Shedd,
foreman in Tarbell's Rake factory at Me-
Gainesville, was riding on the road be-
tween Ludlow and Healdsville, when he
was attacked by two men while passing a
piece of woods skirting the road. one OF
whom seized his horse and cut the therein,
no doubt intending TO cut the drive rein.
The other sprang at Mr.. Shedd and struck
him a blow on the left breast with what
Mr.. s. supposed to be his fist. Mr. s.
struck his horse sharply which bounded
and left the ruffians behind. A blow was
also inflicted on the back of Mr.. SIS head
evidently with stone. On arriving al
Mr.. r. Hoskinson's it was found that the
blow on Mr. Shedd's breast was with 8
! tnife which had cut fhrossh his coat and
struck his watch, penetrating the case ru-
lining the works and breaking the crystal
Mr.. Shedd had been out on collecting
tour and his assailants may have beer
aware of this fact. A party started In
pursuit of the ruffians but we have not
heard that they met with any success
