doubtless prove futile Those hest ad-
apted to assume responsible positions

this place would certainly be a rare treat,
and we could wish that the efforts put
forth might prove successful.

The question Of having a railroad
from Claramont to this place is being
agitatcd, Nh Jones FiltOn is one Of the
commissioners. In the oppinion of
many it is only a question Of time. The
road will go through eventually and
connect with the one from Concord, n.

considerably less.
WIN. b. Davis is repairing his new
saw mill, which was considerably dam
aged by the freshet that occurred in this
region last summer.
A Haskell has made extensive i'm

They say" new hotel is needed
in this village, or some go-ah9ad man to
take charge of the one here. The plan
projected last summer is certainly feas-
ible, and we hope in time to see a COM

town purposes.
Mr.. Mack, who has worked upon
the railroad for several years, was re-
Gently discharged, for not performing
his duty at the time of the "smash up"
a few days ago Mr. Mack thinks there
are others as deserving as himself, and is
endeavoring to have the matter investi-
gated. He has worked upon this sec
ton too long, and been too faithful to
be thrown out of employment for any
trivial circumstance.
Some one from the village above us,
with an itch for writing something, gave
us, in THE HERALD, so.ce startling de-
velopments concerning the notorious

statements were in the main true, but |
we apprehend should the writer pursue
his investigations, he would find the |
Brick church owes Haskell nothing. |
Mr.. Haskell no doubt is man of more |
than ordinary ability, and has been a
faithful worker in the house of God. |
He became victim to strong drink and |
has fallen as the best have done, still we |
always have, and do now doubt the pro-
priety of making such matters public. |

Not long ago he employed carpenter

was made that astonished everybody. A

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
One Third OF the Village of Bristol
Destroyed.
WORK OF AN INCENDIARY.

One of the most disastrous fires that
ever occurred to a Vermont village
broke out on East street, Bristol, at
about two o'clock Saturday morning.
We CLEAN from private sources as well
as from a slip from the Ve7monter office,
and from the Free Press the following
particulars:
The fire originated In a narrow alley
way between Eddy & Hickok's drug
store ard Mrs. Gillet's fancy goods store,
and spread with fearful rapidity in every
direction Toward the east it burned
first the drug store Of Eddy s. Hickok,
next the hardware store of Dyke & Blk
by, and barns and adjoining buildings.
This was all it could consume in this di-
rectiOn and the work Of destruction was
thoroughly done.
To the west, the fire first attacked the
millinery and fancy goods store of Mrs.
Gillet, which was entirely consumed,
with the dentists Office, etc, III the up
per stories. Gains meat market was
also burned and the fire spread to Hold
ge's grocery store, which was speedily
Consumed. The large block next west,
adjoining the hotel grounds was next
destroyed. DR.. Hasseltinos drug store
and Manly Wilds boot and shoe store
were burned, with Spauld:ng's and Ri
ders law offices, and Manun's harness
shop on the second floor and the Mason
ic lodge on the >hird. From this block
the fire spread to the carriage house,
stables. apd outbuildings of the lotel,
which were entirely destroyed. Here
the career of the fire was stopped.
There was no apparatus Or other
mean, Distinguishing fires, except the
water formed by the melting Of the ice
and snow in the immediate vicinity of
the burning fire, and the fire having ex-
haustcd all Of the combustible material
in its reach. died out from the want of
additional fuel.
The loss is estimated at fifty thousand
dollars, which Is partially covered By in
surauCp.
There seems TO be no doubt that the
fire waa the work of an incendiary, and as
tracks were traceablc in the snow, from
the rear of the place where the fire orig
mated it is hoped that they will lead to
lis discovery. As is usual, on such &C.
casions, the air is full Of the widest
rumors as to the guilty party or parties,
but for the present, @t least, we refrain
from giving currency to tkem.
FIRE At HARTFORD.
\ fire broke out Saturday afternoon
in'thc paint shop connected with the ex-
tensivc chair mandatory of f. W. &
+. Morris, at Hartford, Vermont. The
building was totally consumed. There
was IL it'stocl,, mostly chairs ready for
market valued at $4,000, about half of
which were saved. A house adjoining,
belonging to Alexis Countermash, was
badly damaged
The main shop and a covered bridge
over Whtte river were saved with the
greatest difficulty. there beingno fire ap-
paratus.
Just as tins fire had spent itself the
house Of John Bugbee, eighty rods dis

was discovered to bc on fire. having
