On Thursday forenoon of last week,
one of the guy metallic cables supporting
the derrick in use in building the stone
bridge, gave way and the derrick fell
crashing into the canal below where
we're several workmen. Instant alarm
was given and the falling distance was
so great that the workmen escaped any
serious injury though by a narrow chance.
- Messrs. Osgood q Barker, in con-
nection with the village water works,
have done some iron piping for private
dwellings this season. This work is not
only promptly but faithfully done, and
those wanting such work in this place
or vicinity will do well to consult them.
They Of course include in their business
other kinds of piping and fittings for gas,
steam, &c.
- Messrs. Frost, Derby IL Co., are
soon to remove their works to the north
end of the village, having already be-
gun the work of erecting their new shop
building, which is to be so by 30, and
three stories high. The power for run
ming their machinery is 10 be a twelve
horse engine, and the contract for the
building is that it shall be ready for use
on the first of next month.
The selectmen have put up the
check list for freemen's meeting. 1t
contains 695 names, which is 81 less
than last spring. The civil authority of
the town will meet at the town clerks
Office, to revise and correct the same, on
Monday, August 3lst. The present list
we presume does not indicate so much
falling off of the number of voters, as
that it is more correct than the last one.
Margaret Ready, % years and 10
months of age, and oldest daughter of
Bartholomew Ready of this village, died
suddenly in Braitleboro at the house of
Hon. B. ID. Harris. in whose family she
was employed, on Wednesday evening
of last week. She was attacked with
cholera morbus. but no alarming symp-
toms developed till afternoon and her
death occurred at ten o'clock that eve
ming.
- The Rutland Globe, thoroughly
enterprising Vermont daily, is furnished
in this place promptly every morning by
DIR. o. F. Woods. Besides the daily as.
ISOLATED press dispatches from abroad,
the Globe is promptly posted in the news
from all parts of our state, and as we
are to have an election this year and
session of the legislature this fall, it will
be found of special interest to our bnsi-
ness people generally.
- Mr.. Shubael Randall is finishing a
fine two story French roof residence on
School street, and we understand expects
to have it ready to occupy next month.
Mr.. e. A. Turner moved into his new
II. L
few weeks since, and Mr.. George w.
Nutting has incl sed the front grounds
of his dwelling on the same street, with
an iron fence of very neat and pretty de-
sign-the only one of that kind we be.
lieve in the village.
Many strangers have of late made
brief calls to look over our village. They
sometimes inquire of our people for
places of interest. In all such cases
Pine Grove, including the north end and
the fine view up the river ending with
Ascutney mountain in the distance, and
the Basin at the south end of the vii
lage, should always be mentioned. The
Basin and terraces beyond in particular
are formations which always attract the
stranger with special interest.
= The work of widening the canal
progresses. Blasting has been going on
at the upper end this week. At the new
stone bridge the rocks have been blasted
till they now have some forty feet of
space where before they had twenty.
This will of course greatly increase the
volume of water passing at that point.
The Messrs. Russell have also built
gate at the branch canal dug in solid
rock and leading to the old factory four
dation-a good sign of what may be ex-
pected in that section at future day.
