Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1871-09-14

During the evening of the recent
wedding in our village, while lady and
gentleman were riding from the church
to the residence of the bridegroom, the
horse ran away, and came in contact with
a post near the house of Mr.. Nathan
Wood, precipitating the inmates of the
carriage violently to the ground, but hap
PLY without serious injury. The ear.
riage was seriously shattered, while tbs
horse broke loose at the time of contact Of
the vehicle with the post.
The large company of visitors from
the cities to our village this summer have
almost entirely returned to their homes
and the Addison House looks a little de-
serted. My friend Rider cannot, and does
not complain at this. His house has been
filled to OVERLOOKING and his guests have
expressed their highest qualification OF
Darwin's efforts to please and provide for
their happiness and comfort during their
pleasant stay in our beautiful village. 1t
ia just as easy to keep q good public house
as it is to keep poor one, nay, much
easier, and the landlord who does the for
mer is sure to be appreciated and pat
ronized from year to year by the best OF
customers. Good, well-furnished tables,
clean beds, polite and attentive servants,
are necessary fixtures to we'll kept hotel,
and those who fail in these, had better re-
linquish the business and try something
else. Public houses of entertainment are
a public necessity, and no man has any
business to engage in that line who is not
willing to do all in his power to fully ac-
conmodate the public. Rutland and Ad-
olson counties have several well kept
public houses or hotels, and the result is,
they are we'll patronized from abroad
during the summer months. These
visitors come among us to enjoy the lux
ury of our clear mountain air, our beauti-
full drives and scenery, and mingling with
our people enjoy the quiet of our villages
and mountain towns, and return to their
business recuperated and able to enter
anew upon the active business that
crowds our cities. Every inducement
should be held out for our city friends to
annually visit us, and while they are will
ing to freely spend their money in these
trips, they should receive every attention
that courtesy and propriety will ever die
tate and extend. [ am glad our hotel
keepers are more olive to these things
than they used to be, and the result will
be an increased amount of travel every
year, with d corresponding amount of
profit and pleasure to all. There is no
reason why our leading hotels in Yer
mont should not be, every season, filled
with our city friends who are ever glad to
leave the crowded streets of the cities
and seek that retirement 40 necessary to-
good health aud rational pleasure. We
shall miss the gay and happy crowd that
have made the Addison House so long
their home the past summer. We trust
the assurances they made Of a revisit to
our village next reason may Re fully
realized, and that all our hotels in west
eIn Vermont may have their number of
vi-i'ors greatly increased, knowing well,
as we do, that no better place can be found
than in Vermont where to spend the sum
mer months III the enjoyment of every
thing c4lcul4ted to render life cheerful
md happy.
Daring the past week some If our
towns were vi,i'ed with severe frost, /
seriously iojuriug vines and corn. Your
Correspondent was at Waterbury on the
aight of the 18th inst. At that place
water froza one-sixteenth Of m inch thick,
and the gardens suffered severely.
