the Barre street road by a bridoe across I'll


soon as few preliminary arrangements can
he Ell ected between the towns in interest
Ihe building of the road, estimated at $ll00,
Is apportioned equally between the towns of
Barre and Montpelier. The land damages,
amounting as finally determined by award
and arbitration to over $4,000, are assessed
upon Berlin. In the building of the bridge,
which 1T is understood is not to be ready for
travel until another year. Montpelier is as
sessed for two-thirds and Berlin one-third of
the cost, estimated to be $2450. In this
matter, Montpelier is to receive the benefit
OF drawback, which is apportioned to the
Montpelier and Wells River Railroad,
by reason of said road appropriating the
town road of Montpelier as part of its line.
This drawback is not quite equal in its
m0ned value to a Congressmans back pay
arrangement but SO long as she couldn 'tIher-
self vote it into her own Golfers the town is
thankful the commissioners served her as
handsomely as they did.
The firm Of Lane, Pitkin and Brock has
nearly mcopleted its arrangements for the
termination of the partnership ard the Or
ganization of the Lane Manufacturing Com
pany, corporation authorized by the last
legislature. The new organization will have
capital of one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, and the bulk of the stock
will be held by the partners of the old firm.
MIR. Lane will be president of the company
The success of the old firm has been of great
advantage to the business and growth of
Montpelier, and the same management will
make the Lane Manufacturing Company a
help to the village as we'll as source of
profit to the stockholders.
! AQUATIC SPORTS Some of the students on
| the Hill think it right on off days, to recreate
to such an extent as will put them in good
condition for the severe studies of the coming
week And surely those who trusted them
selves to the peaceful Winooski last Saturday
afternoon, chose pleasant manner of doing
this, combining as they did, the exercise of
rowing and the pleasures of an unexpected
bath They are to be congratulated.
Messrs. Watson and Crawford embarked
with their chosen companions, the one fair
damsel from one of Vermont's seaport towns
and accustomed to the rude alarms that at
tend sailors life, and the other from the
regions BORDERING on " Kingston Mountain.
In manly exercise and gentle in tetchange o.
thought the perilous voyage was made til
opposite the Sabin place, when exchange o
seats was proposed and not executed in the
highest style of boating art. The precious
freight of that craft was suddenly deposited
among the blessed shadows of the " inooski
the shifting sands Of which some river goo
no doubt placed under them when he saw thu
accident occurring. The channel was quite
| deep on both sides the bar. but Will am
Frank Dewey, who happened to be out boat
, ing that afternoon, went to the rescue, anC
conveyed the young ladies to the shore
| Their proper escort, however, stayed in the
: river, one having stuck to the capsized boat
and the other having struck out for the shore
t Wherefore it became necessary or cOnyenien
Tor the two Montpelier youths to see the no
wise cast down but dripping naiads to plac

gallant, pursued the boating excursion $
sadly interrupted.
