ond Montreal Railroad Company, has agreed,
on behalf of his corporation and other par
ties interested, to build that section Of the

HARDwIcE .-The dwelling house Of VIM. l..
Batcheder, of ilardwick Center, was burned on
Sunday morning, the 10th contents partially
saved. The fire is supposed to have been caused
by defects in the chimney or stove-pipe in the at
tic. Loss, estimated $1,000, which is said to be
partly covered by insurance in the Farmers
Mutual
The railroad cut on j. S. Smiths, one mile
west of the village, is being opened by working
party and the extensive fill across the meadow
begun This is the first evidence that work is to
be done between this place and Wolcott before the
construction of the line east to St. Johnsbury is
completed.

TnE Fools NOT ALL DEAD.-Ihe Cdiedonidn
says that wellto-do farmer of Caledonia coun-
ty lately received one of these neat Autograph cir
culars, 80 plenty nowadays, offering him $500
counterfeit money for SIS down, and the balance
c. 0. d. when the queer" was received. The
swindlers added, that il the receiver had business
in New York they would as soon deliver it to him
in person. The countryman suddenly had " bu-
siness" in New York, and met the swindlers by
appointment, and handed over his SIS They
however made him believe that it would not be
safe for them to transfer the $500 to him there,
as they were watched by the police but that il
he would go up to Springfield, they would send
it to him there by express. The yerdant one went
to Springfield where he remained watching the
express Offices day after day, until his money was
all gone, when he had to foot il home 1t is
hoped that this little trip to New York, wound
up as ii was with walk Of some over two hun
bred miles, has cured this victim OF trying to got
rich by breaking the laws Of the land.
