Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1873-02-07


a hundred and sixty couples were present
largely composed of representatives of
the foot-board" with their wives and
daughters, or fair partners, from the
various Railroads in this vicinity as well
as the Cheshire, while the addition
of their friends from Keene, swelled the
company to a much larger number than
has been gathered in Cheshire hall for
many year.
The music, ten pieces, was furnished
by Brooks, Owen q Cartoons Band, of
Lowell, and was fully up to the already
earned reputation of that famed Orches-
ira. Notwithstanding the Hall was
much crowded, every thing passed off in
quiet and pleasant manner, and great
credit is due the managers for their adj
mirable arrangements. The Hall was
handsomely decorated with the Ameri-
can colors, pictures, mirrors, ETC., while
two Locomotive head lights placed at
each end of the gallery, with colored
lights, added much to the effect.
The supper was furnished by Mr.. Sher-
man of the Cheshire House and was in
the uniform bounteous and well appoin-
ted style of that Hotel.
Among those present were noticed Mr..
F. A. Perry, Master Mechanic and Mr..
ID. G. Howard, Train Dispatcher of the
Cheshire Road ID. t. Davis, Master
Mechanic of the Vermont and Massachu-
sets Road, as also other officers of these
and other Roads, whose names we did
not learn. Mr.. Stewart, the Supt. of the
Cheshire Road was not present, but con-
tributed much to the success of the affair
by extending the courtesies of the Road
| to the Brotherhood. The thanks of the
Brotherhood are due the Stony Brook
q Fitchburg Railroad Companies for
their courtesy in afording free passes to
the Band over their respective roads
these passes were obtained through the
intercession of j. l.. Butman, Esq, Sta
ton Agt. at Fitchburg, Supt. Steward
of the Cheshire, afforded them free trans
portation from Fitchburg. May the
next annual chop" of this order prove
as suspicious as that held of Thursday
evening
CHESTER ninth annual Masonic
Ball will take place at Coles CENTRAL
HOTEL HALL, ON the evening of the Il
inst. Hough's full Band will furnish
the music. and no doubt, from $50 tC
200 couples will do the dancing.
Carpenters with coats off were al
work on the outside of DR.. Eddy's build
ing one day last week while the mercury
marked 200 below. We would say in this
connection, that the Doctor is doetoring
his building in such way that the citi-
zens of depot square may well be thank.
full for SO valuable an acquisition.
A notibly fine residence is that of F.
W. Marsh, Esq, the internal appoint
ments of which are probably not sur
passed in the State. There are many
more costly mansions, but we doubt i
there are any, more replete with home
comforts.
We are always the promoters and ad
visers of good measures, therefore go t.
A. d. Fletcher's. The man in need o.
an elegant suit who don't call upof
Fletcher for the same, secedes from the
ranks of gentlemen. Anything from 8
wedding outfit to sanctimonious equip
ment is furnished at this establishment
in manner which defes the most fastid
ious criticism. Be ii known that we nc
longer pack up and visit Boston Don
aldson for the purpose of obtaining fit
ting drapery. No, not so long as Fletch
er allows us to select from such varied
and fashionable stock of wearing text
ures and never fails to duplicate hi
fashion plates in the make up of tn,
same. ID.
Mr.. r. II. Sherwin, of the firm o.
Sherwin, Hayward & Whitman, recently
met with a severe and painful accident
In removing hay from one part of hi
barn to another, he accidentally stepped
upon the tine of hay fork, with sucl
force that it penetrated to the uppel
part of his foot, and inflicted serious
injury to the metatarsal bone, and hi
locomotion is now aided by the use o
: clutches.
An accident happened to Mr.. JOIN
P. Wood which will render him unfi
for labor during the remaining part o
the winter. While engaged in cutting
| wood on the farm of Thomas Lake, hi

: the first and second toes of the same.
