Campfire.

The Camp fire given in Village Hall Sal1r-
day evening, under the auspices Of Post Brooks,
was decided success in every particular
The hall was crowded, and many were turned
away unable TO gain admittuncc long before
the time announced for commencing. This
fact, together tho fact that the audience re-
NAMED quietly in their seats and listened at
tentively during the somewhat lengthy session,
clearly proves that our people have not lost
their interest ia the rehearsal Of the doings Of
"soldicr days, b" and will come out aud be glad
to hear them whenever a good opportunity is
presented.
At half past seven, promptly, Comrade }.
o. Livingston, Commander Of Post Brooks
called the assembly to order, and introduced
Rev. n Newton Glazer, comradc who had
sealed his devotion to his country and It's insti.
buttons by the loss of an arm. Mr.. Glazior
spoke Of hospital experiences and gave a very
entertaining and acceptable address
Major George 7 Childs, Of st. Adams, fol-
lowed Mr. Glazer, and spoke earnestly and
eloqueuty Of the origin, scope and purposes Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic. Comrade
Childs is one Of the most effective camp fire
speakers we have ever heard, and biz remarks
were excclcntly received By the audience
Chaplain L. H. Stone, Of the First Vermont
Regiment, spoke next, and his remarks were
listened to with profound attention, as they
richly deserved to be.
Col. +. V. Randall was the next speaker
Owing 10 the latencss Of the hour he confined
his remarks 10 the narration Of incidents and
experiences in the seven days fighting on the
Peninsula, instead Of giving history Of Get
tysburgh as had been announced Col. Ran.
dali always speaks well, and his remarks were
listened to with attention and interest.
The last speaker Of the evening was Gen.
Stephen Thomas, who related in his earnest
and effective manner many incidents Of army
life in louisiana, which were very entertaining,
and secured the closest attention Of ALL
The exercises were enlivcncd by music from
the Montpelier Brass Band, and songs from
gee club composed Of Messrs II II Serb
ner, James T. Sabin Fred Bancroft, Mrs.
Whcatley, and Miss Hill.
We think the members Of this Post nro to De

A Narrow Escape.

On Saturday afternoon last as the freight
train from this place was nearing Wells River,
the conductor, Mr.. George Wtherell, noticed a
poddler upon the highway swinging broom at
him, and in other ways endeayoring TO attract
his attention. Looking ahead on the track Mr..
Witherel sawa cop about fifty feet long, which
had been washed out, owing 10 the want Of a
culyert in the proper place. ile Immediately
pulled pin, Which detached seventeen Of the
nineteen loaded e. of which the train was
comprised and these seventeen cars were p.
ped within four feet Of the gap. The engineer,
Martin llainbln, finding that it was impossible
10 stop the engine in season, when within fifty
feet Of the wash-out, told the fireman 70 jump
off, which lie did Mr. llamblin then took his
little boy, eight years old, in his arms and
leaped from the engine both fortunately, es.
Gaping without injury
But the wonderful part Of tie story remains
to he told The Fish-joint, which is used upon
this road, forms continuous rail, So that all
though the earth had been washed away to the
depth Of twenty feet, for distance Of fifty
feet, taking with it the ties, the engine,
" Charles River" weighing thirty tons, with
two heavily loaded cars, were supported by the
strength Of the continuous rail, and passed
over the chasm in safety, so that no accident
to person or property resulted from what might
have caused most serious disaster
Conductor Boutwell, On hearing Of this escape,
Immediately telegraphed to the office Of the
company in this village, ana la ten minutes
from the receipt Of the dispatch the road
master, Mr. Morse, with all the section men,
had started with a train, md by three o 'clock
Sunday afternoon, the gap was trestlcd, and
since that time trains have run over itregularly
But little doubt is expressed that but for tho
peculiarly fortunate circumstances attending
this case, the engine and train would hay,
been precipitated into the mill-pond Of Duran
& Adams, and have involved a serious damage
to property, if not to life All in all, it was
truly wonderful escape.
