EAST MIDDLEDURy.- ID. Fairs de-
dcation ball, given last week in honor of
the completion OF the hall, proved fail
urc for want of a crowd; but those
present did justice to the occasion
by preparing to fight it out on that,
line if it took all night The police came
out crochet like, second best every time.
Cold Spring Lodge is in very flourish
ing condition, it has had additions to its
members at nearly every meeting the
present quarter. We believe il ever there
was a time it is now, to revive the tenn
perance cause, and that every church,
every Sabbath-school, every neighborhood
of one hundred inhabitants should have a
temperance society. "Habit is u second
nature" "examples strike all human
hearts," Make it habit in your neigh
borhood to attend temperance meeting
once week and your example will soon
influence others to come to the work, and
we do not believe that the Incorporate
will fnd fault with our good endcavors
but will be more apt to join the ranks, for
ueu cannot but love the right though they
for time may pursue the wrong.

The Vermont Central II. r. Com
pany have purchased two and one hal
acres more of land, for their new depo
grounds, and it is understood that they
will at once commence grading and pre-
pairing side tracks, land erecting the freigh
buildings, so that by the time winter set
in, they will be able to receive and de
liver freights at the new station. 1t /
hardly probable that the passenger depot
which is to be built of brick, will b.
commenced before Spring.
We have said but little about thi
change of location, being only interested
in it equally with all our citizens. Nov
that the matter is arranged and that to-
without pressure, except by the recogniz
ed necessities Of bu ,iness. we cannot re
frain from expressing our gratIficatio
that this wise and progressive measur
has been adopted The uniortunat
delays in the delivery and shipping o
treights hitherto unavoidable, by whicI
dozens of teams have been kept waiting
for an hour or more, will now throua
the well known liberality Of management
and the ample facilities furnished by tn
managers of the Vermont Central Rail
l. road, be obviated With the increase
!. facilities for access soon to be opened,
will not be long before the business O
the town, as we'll as the outside publ
/, generally, will be much better accom-
modated than was ever possible withou
this change. Without doubt stree
will be opened northward from the depc
to the New Haven road beyound the hill
S thus entirely avoiding serious incor
e venienue hitherto considered unavoidable
