VIM. Hale, E.q., formerly of this
town, (Bartonsville,) who is a veteran
among railroad men in this State, lie now
making a survey and alterations in the
railroad from Glastonbury to Benning-
ton.
As yet the panic or money strin-
gency has not made itself prominent in
this place. Building is being pushed
forward as usual, and the mills are all
running on full time, which in this case
means both day and night with two sets
of hands. We trust it may continue.
The auction sale at the Bellows
Farm was commenced on Wednesday,
mainly with the personal property.
Three pieces of real estate were sold. |
The sales made we are informed, amount |
ed to over s5000 The sale was adjourn
ed to a day to be announced on bills |
hereafter.
We understand the Central rail- |
road are soon to make repairs and i'm
provements at the depot. The lower
story is to be remodeled, the eating
saloon enlarged and to include din
ing rooms. The platform is also to
be entirely covered This last will be
of great convenience especially in in
element weather
- On Wednesday the Water Com
missioners met with an accident, by
which length of pipe was broken, and
from which they were obliged to shut off
the water an unusual length of time.
A little patience and we shall doubtless
soon have an abundant supply OF water
throughout the village. The ditch is
ready for the main pipe reaching the en-
tire length of School street.
- The first fair ever held by St.
Charles church, opened on Tuesday
afternoon and evening very favorably.
There was a good attendance, including
many from the other societies of the viii
lage, which called forth numerous ex-
pressions of appreciation from those in
whose interest it is held. They have an
attractive display of goods nice and val
liable, most of which are sold by ticket.
The " fowl play " creates much amuse-
ment. Their receipts already amount to
some $500. The attendance was in
creased Wednesday evening, and will
very likely be still larger this Thursday
evening, when the fair will close with
the award of the prizes.
