CABor Rev, b, S. Adams, pastor of the
with good prospect Of success, to raise eight
hundred dollars to furnish pipe organ for his
church.
From Appearances around the store Of
Sprague & Wells, we should judge they meant
business in the mercantile line They appear
to have a very heavy stock Of goods. They
have also added to their salesroom another
large room in the same block, which is filled
with hats and caps, boots and shoes, ready
made clothing &c., all of which indicates the
prosperity of the concern. Mr.. Sprague has
been long and isvorably known to this COM
munity as straightforward, honest business
man, while Mr.. Wells brings to the firm eI-
perience in the line, as well as clear business
record and we bespeak for them in their part
nershp prosperous future.
The preliminary survey of the railroad from
Hsrdwick to Msrshfed, through this town,
commenced according to announcement, last
week Tuesday, under the direction Of engineer
Darling. The route looked through last
week commenced at South Hardwick and runs
up by Nichols and Long ponds, thence through
to the West Hill pond, in this town, thence
down the valley to the lower village, crossing
the road from Cabot to Marshfeld just below
the old yellow school house, and across the
meadow TO the other side of the valley near
Towns saw mill then following through Co
burns pasture on the side hill to the head Of
the falls, thence to the connection on the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad distance by
this route from IIardwick to Marshfeld, fifteen
miles. The preliminary survey Of another
route is to be commenced Tuesday of this week,
commencing at South Hardwick and running
on the same line past Nichols and Long ponds
then leaving the other survey and running
southeast, by what is called Mud pond. and
down the McFarlan brook, through the village
of Cabot, striking the survey that was made
last week about two miles below the village Of
Cabot.
We should have said that the route surveyed
last week was feasible, with good grade, and
we expect the one to be looked at the present
week will be just AZ good, with less distance;
and should the road be built, land we have
but little doubt it will be,) Of far greater ben
eft to the town. The preliminary survey is to
commence Tuesday Of this week, under charge
of engineer Walker.

A NARROW EscarK-O saturday evening
last, John NJ. Elkins and &. +. Burnham, OF
this village, started to g to Chelsea. About
10 O'Clock they had got ms far as Carues' Mills,
or East Barre. 1t being very dark at this time,
their team col.ided with the team Of Mr. Cook
Of Orange. The wagon Of Elkins was over
turned, aud he and Burnham were precipitated
down an embankment some ten feet high, into
the river, with the team top Of them. Elkins
WAS injured slightly in his back, while Burn
ham received a bad scalp wound six inches in
length. cutting clear u the skull, and was
otherwise seriously bruised. The horse had
three teeth knocked out. Mr.. Elkins, in the
melee, lost his pocket book containing
about $50, and valuable papers II the
road had been properly protected with guard
along its side, it would have been impossible
for them to have been precipitated down this
embankment, and we presume they intend to
ask the town for damages. A remarkable
case Of attachment to family was exhibited by
a certain person, 10 whom, In their trouble,
they applied for conveyance to Barre village
but although he was driving a good team, he
declined to aid them, saying sit was time for
him to be at home" Well It pds late.

MONTPELIER & RUTLAND RAI1RoAD.-Sone
IDIOT from Granville writes the following to tn.
Randolph Eagle "Ihe Montpelier and Rutland
railroad project is regarded by many Of the cit
irens Of Granville as a failure. They seem to
think that to help pay for a railroad and let
New York capitalists have it, without any re-
serve, is too much, considering the fact that
the people are obliged to support so many
gigantic monopoles. That Credit Mobelier is
not yet forgotten, you see, and who can blame
them fjr thinking as they do? Desirable as
railroad is to them, 1t is difficult to zee how
they can be benefited by paying for it, and
footing the high tariff rates in the bargain"
