Geo. W. Knapp, Esq, had thumb
taken OF b. circular saw in his mill on
thursday Of last week.
One year ago at tbi, time we were
having extreme cold weather, nearly as
cold as any during The winter, The
month Of November this year, has been
unusually mild, Thanksgiving day was
set down as a "stinger' last year.
The Thanksgiving Bail will prove a
failure The right spirit has not been
manifested. But we will bear share Of
the blame and taking into consideration
the Inconvenience Of the season, will
patiently wait for ali amusing entertain
ment Of the kind to be again announced
for some other holiday.
The merry bells were ringing on
Sunday last, and the sleighs were gliding
by while everything seemed "as merry
marriage belI The hocks of snow
birds twittered and were full OF gee at
the appearance of the tlcecy element. The
weather was glorious.
Davis, Of the firm Of Davis & Sawyer
has bis large steam mill nearly finished
which will soon be capable Of cutting out
from fifteen to 10000 feet Of lumber
per day Millions Of the best lumber
will be delivered to the Bennington &
Glastonbury r. Il. Hon, Lyman Bowles
will deliver one million feet, contract
having been made TO that effect.
An alarm of fire was sounded few
mornings since, in the Hollow. For some
time much CONSERVATION prevailed, and
men, women and children were out but
their apprehension was at once allayed,
by observing that it was nothing more
than smoke from a pipe in Smiths store,
and SO each one returned TO their sew
eral homes, and enjoyed their early morn
ing nap.
CONCLUSION.
1t is feared that iflhere were no re-
ources to attend the success of the Ben.
nington 81 Glastonbury r. Il, other than
those offered at the terminus of the road
in Glastonbury, many difficulties would
arise taking all things into consideration
as to the success of the proprietors. As al
are aware the road for the distance it has
been built, has been constructed at an
enormous expense, and outlay of money
Hundreds Of men have been employed
and these men of course depended Oh
their remuneration promptly, which they
always received. But comparatively lit
tie of products of the. vast forests have
been carried over the road, and the large
tracts Of land will become pretty well ex'
hausted, before the expense incurred fol
building the B. n G. II. will be REIN.
burscd. Such is the opinion of innuen
tial men, Yet rs we stated at the com,
mencement Of this article: lf there were
no resources to attend the success, other
then those offered at the terminus etc
But there are, switch and side track
with platform has been erected, whereby
the Messrs. Dewey are enabled to load
all the quantities of paint manufactured
by themselves at their extensive OchrC
Mills in this place on to the cars and con
veyed 10 Bennington at much less ex
pense than TO draw ii on wagons aud bs
teams Ga difficult matter at present, an6
has been for two weeks, owing to the
ephippic) consequently the cars prove tC
be available and advantageous to th,
business men of Our town as well a. Tho
community at large a side-track viii
soon be put down for the accommodation
Of our lumbermen the coming winter
and at all times, whereby millions of fee
Of lumber will be delivered for tie pur
pose Of being carried away by the cars L
the proper destination. So all things dull
considered will cause one TO have ten
dencv 10 believe that the Bennington 4
Glastonbury Railroad will prove to be
paying business enterprise, In the caree
Of the managers at present, while cyentu
ally it will extend across the mountain
aud connect with trains Oh the East side
the route having already been surveyed
and found to be a feasible one.
