lumber and logs. The terrible gale o.
wind last November uprooting large
Quantities of lumber in this and neighbor
Ing towns, has had the effect to fill up on,
new saw mill with larger quantity Of
logs than has been seen for many years
past. The mill cuts out about $1,000
feet per day. A great difference from the
days of our fathers, when $500 feet was
a good days work. So much for improve
ment. ...
Our Board of Village Trustees have
ordered new supply of hose for our
fire engine, the old being very much out
of order. We hope never to want to use
it, but it is best to have it ON hand, and
it is in this light a piece of good economy.
We have good engine and engine COM
pany and if we are assailed by the demon
OF destruction, we mean to conquer him,
having the means to do it with.
Rev. L. J. Walker, M. e. clergyman
of our village, and several of his church,
have the past week been aiding christians
in Benson in carrying on a series of re-
ligious meetings, in which much interest
is manifested, and we hope many souls
converted to Christ. CANDoR.

HISTORY OF THE RELEASING FEVER
This disease, according to medical au-
thority, has been known and recognized
in Europe since the year 1889. In 1S47
it was epidemic in Scotland and made its
first appearance in London, where it was
studied and described by DR.. Jenner
about the same time it broke out in Ger
many, where DR.. Virchow was the first
to recognize it as distinct from typhus
and typhoid fever In 1866 it existed
among the British troops in the Crimea
In most countries of Continental Europe
and in all tropical climates it is unknown.
The disease first appeared in America in
1914, and in 1S48 and 1S50-'51 it was
again noticed

GOVERNOR WAsHBURN's CONDITION
Great anxiety is felt in the State in
reference to the precarious condition Of
Governor Washburn, hanging, as it were
by slight thread, between life and death
On Saturday afternoon, about three
O'clock, a telegram was received, saying
"The Governor is living this afternoon
and slightly improved, but his recovery
is very doubtful. He is conscious to-day"
A later dispatch received in the evening
said, Governor still living. Physicians
say he can hardly survive another day."
Another dispatch received at 81 o'clock
on Sunday morning says, Governor
Washburn still living-about the same as
last night"
A gentleman who came from Wood
stock on Saturday informs us that the
condition of Governor Washburn is such
as to leave but little hope of his recovery.
His prostration is of such a character
that life is held only by the use of stimu-
lants. About nine ounces of beef juice
and three ounces of brandy are given
once in twenty-four hours, which he re-
tains upon his stomach. Under this in
creased amount of stimulus he remains
in about the same condition. He seems
to be entirely unconscious. On Saturday
morning he made an attempt to speak,
but it was so incoherent that his attend
ants were unable to determine whether it
was the effort of lucid moment or the
wandering of the mind. The physicians
say the probabilities are against him. and
only possibility of his recovery.

Rutland and Burlington Railroad
Case.

We give below the Mandate Of the
Supreme Court in this cause which has
excited so much interest in this commu-
nifty.
It will be remembered that at the spe-
oial session of the Legislature, in 1868,
tho holders of the second mortgage bonds
of the Rutland and Burlington Railroad
, were incorporated by the name of the
Rutland Railroad Company" and were
authorized to issue preferred stock for the
purpose Of retiring the first mortgage
bonds, or such of them as their holders
would surrender for that purpose. BY
Tar the greater number in amount of the
holders of these bonds have consented to
receive such preferred stock in exchange
for their bonds, but small number, re-
presented by the orators in this cause,
have refused to make the exchange, and
now the court have decided that they must
be paid prior to the first of June, and in
default of such payment that Messrs.
Cheever and Hart, shall, as Trustees un-
der the first mortgage, take possession of
and control the roal
We learn from trustworthy sources that
there is no doubt that such payment will
be made, and that there will be no actual
change of possession of the road and
The only change, as we under
stand it, will be that after the first of
June the road will be run by the Rutland
Railroad Company, of which Mr.. Page is
President

Our Sleigh Ride.

Twas bright cold winter morning,
Not many days ago,
That merry little party
Were bounding DER the snow.
Each face, was fresh and rosy,
Each heart was bright and gay,
And the prospect of a merry time
Was before each one that day.
We were driving round the village,
Picking up the ones to go,
stopping now before some mansion,
And then some cottage low.
Our horses were the fieetest,
And our driver called the best,
Our sleigh was new and roomy,
Though some were slightly pressed"
But alas when none were thinking
That the team must turn around,
A jolt, jump, the sleigh upset,
And its load was on the ground.
And then general scrabble,
To see what harm was done,
But twas found that none were injured,
And was just bit of fun.
But our sleigh we soon got righted,
Helped the ladies in again,
Wrapped the robes and blankets round them
Put the shot bricks" on the floor.
Ger hill, through swamp and valley,
Leaving Brandon far behind,
Till we reached the well known hotel
OF our old friend, Runie Hyde.
We stayed there till near shutdown,
Made its halls with laughter ring;
Sat down to lucious supper,
Fit for any King.
But our team was waiting for US,
And we soon were on the way,
Reaching home in perfect safety,
Though not till late that day. &C."

Rev. E. Mills of Rutland, addressed
the Good Templars at Hammond Hall on
Friday evening. The hall was well filled
with an attentive and appreciative au-
dience. The subject of temperance has
been treated in so many ways and by 30
many men, that it is next to impossible to
say any thing new, but the speaker gave
fearless utterance to his convictions. in
vestigating the subject with no little in
terest. We shall only allude to few
points. The progressive character of the
age is manifested not only in material
improvements but in various social DO
litioal, religious, and reformatory move
ments. None of these, except the teaching
of the gospel, is of greater Importance than |
the temperance reform, as none contends
against SO great evil. After abiding to
his own rare facilities of observation, and
the miseries of which he had been spec.
.ator, and briefly portraying the magni-
Jude of the evil, the speaker proceeded to

prove to be the truth, that the stockhold-

ate the necessity of any transfer from the
