which reminds me of
son OF THE EMERALD ISLE
whom | saw the other day driving up Main
street IN lumber wagon with u miscclla-
hcous cargo, amongst which appeared,
prominently, half dozen lengths of stove
pipe. 1t was evident to the most unpreiu-
diced bcholder that the Irishman was so far
under the influence of ''poteen" that sitting
in the wagon and holding the ribbons taxed
his abilities to the utmost limit Turning
up Bank street Il jolt of the wagon caused
one OF the length of stove pipe to jump
out into the mud, with a slight rattle.

over his shoulder at the fallen chattel for
an instant, then, conscious of his inability
to recover it, he philosophically remarked,

gave very pleasant little entertainment at
his residence, Oh Ferris street, Thursday
evening, to perhaps a score of his mascu-
line friends, mostly gentlemen of the legal
profession, whose minds fell (orrosc) grace
fully from the practical exposition of the
intrlcacies of the law, to the genter and
perhaps more fascinating calculations of
chances incident to euchre, whist and ca
sino. There is very close analogy he
tween the expressions on lawyers face
after the victory in hard fought case and
on making ''sweep" at casino, but the
latter has less of care in it, and sometimes
seems more ingenious.
TIE ADVERTISER BLOCK
took fire last Thursday night or rather
very carly Friday morning, and narrowly
escaped serious conflagration.
A portion of the lower floor has been oc-
cupied by VIM. Gallagher as a confccton-
cry store, but owing to some financial COM
plicatons, is now in the hands of the
sheriff. 1t would appear that that func-
tionary don't conduct the business with
much enterprise or discretion, for the door
was double bolted and the register wide

cuiar vim of the furnace just at that time,
the woodwork near the register took fire
from the hot mir and quito n hole was
burned up into the partition, when one of
the Adoertiser men ''smelt something" and
bursting open the inside door succeeded in
chOpping the fire up so fine with an axe as
to arrest its progress. Many people have
been anticipating ''warm times" in the
newspaper business, but not exactly that
kind.
Apropos of this item: An old gentleman
of our acquaintance this morning, laying
down the paper he had been attentvely
perusing, took off his spectaclcs and care
fully wiping them with his bandanna, re-
marked: "Well, don't sposc il would be
reasonable to expect either of these ere
dailies to mention fire in their own block,
but kind've thought the opposition paper
might pick it up, and they may do it some
time next week yet" added the old gen
tleman with an air of hopeful patience.
TIE GENERAL FREIGHT OFFICE
of the Central Vermont railroad company
was moved last Wednesday from the
ground floor of the depot, to the third floor
where the large light room in the tower
has been prepared for it and enlarged by
throwing in a portion of the wide hail. and
the smaller room formerly occupied by Mr.
SWEET, the architect. This gives the freight
Office commodious and convenient quarters,
extending entirely across the east end of
the large wing.
a large fire proof vault takes charge of
the important books and papers, and
small room opening to the west has been
fitted up with accommodations for conven-
lent storage and filing of papers and re-
ports. 1t is a noticeable and commendablc
fact in these hard times, that all the fittings
and finishings of this office, as in the other
rooms which have lately been altered and
remodelled, while they are the perfection
of convenience and efficiency are at the
same time perfectly and uniformly plain,
showing that no unnecessary expense has
been incurred. The removal of the general
freight office is recognized by all as a vast
Improvement, giving the clerks more room,
more and better light and quarters much
more quiet, and free from intrusion, and
therefore better fitted for the efficient, eco
nomical and faithful performance of their
duties. In this office is kept an accurate
and methodical record of all the freight
transported over the numerous lines of rail
way controlled by the Central Vermont.
About twenty clerks are employed in this
department under the supervision of Mr..
VIM. Leard.
