Pitkin * Brock have again purchased an
interest in the Foundry and Machine Shop
of this village, which Mr.. Dennis Lane lately
bought Of them, and the firm is now Lane,
Pitkin q Brock, as formerly. The favorable
look for the Montpelier and Wells River
Railroad has, We opine, had something to do
with bringing about a result so important to
the thrift Of our village, and we believe the
arrangement will be mutually beneficial to
all concerned. The firm is now composed of
just the material u insure it's entire success

SINGULAR AccIDEST.-In Chelsea last
Friday, a Mrs. Southworth, while going into
the cellar with a knife in her hand, fell and
struck upon a barrel standing at the foot of
the stairs, in such a manner as to bring the
knife under her neck, severely cutting her
throat. Nothing but the extreme dullness
of the knife prevented it from s~cvering the
jugular vein. announcement as a dull knife
always is for cutting meat, our housewives
will now see it is more desirable than a
sharper one to fall down stairs with.
