nesday morning,
- Hon. Charles w. Willard of Mont
pelier, was in town Wednesday and
Thursday on business with the railroad
meeting.
= Sermons will be given next Sunday
by members of the Conference at both the
Baptist and Congregational Churches,
besides other exercises.
- Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Stone of Chicago
formerly of this place, are on visit
to friends and acquaitances here and
other places in New England, among
whom they reof course receiving very
cordial welcome. 1t is fourteen years
since they removed from this place to
Chicago
We suggest whether, at times of
fire, there ought not to be given more
general alarm, by more crying of fire
and ringing Of bells. The alarms for the
recent fires may have been sufficient, but
they were by no means general A
greater alarm would rally more aid and
quicker, which may be needed.
A good feeling very mutually pre-
wales in the village, over the prompt
ness with which the two recent fires
were subdued. They were both day fires,
however. A night fire might be worse,
and though we hope there may be no
occasion to test it, if such case should
occur, the efficiency and value of our
present fire departments likely to prove
equal to the emergency.
- The annual meeting of the Con-
necticut River Valley Medical Associa-
ton will be held at Towns hotel, on
Wednesday of next week, May 5, at 8
o'clock A NJ. Reports are expected on
epidemics Prof Phelps of Windsor is
expected to read a paper. Also paper
is expected by DR. Graves of Concord
| N. H, in fact an interesting meeting
may be expected.
- Messrs. Geo. Cobb q j. H. Phelp:
recently removed from this place to st
| Catbarine Ontario, appear to be making
a favorable impression at that place. The
St. Catharine's Times of the 10th inst
says they are making rapid progress il
the erection of their new building il
which is to be large and spacious din
ming hall for both ladies and gentlemen
and call it specimen of genuine Yam
kee enterprise, the proprietors being liv'
Yankees from down east"
- Another fire alarm was givel
Wednesday morning at little before
o'clock. The fire was in building use'
by w. II. johnson, in connection wit
and near his chair shop, for store an,
varnish room, and was first discovere
by Rev. p II. Granger, member OF tn
Conference, who happened to be passin
on Westminster street at the time, an
who instantly gave the alarm whic
quickly spread in all directions. TIL
! hose company were out promptly and
three minutes from the time they passe
the TIMES building they had a stream {
water playing on the fire, thong
not at full force at first, from, probably
Z ice in the hose. This was quickly follow
a ed by a line of hose from the pulp mil
l and another from the hydrant at ii
: head of Henry street, and still anotht
! from one of the pulp mills and with fou
: streams of water playing on the fire
soon Welded, and in about twenty mil
$ utes from the alarm the large audient
I that had collected ON Westminster sire
for observation disappeared. We shou
: also add that Messrs. Moore q Shep
e ran out line of hose from the for
n pump in their mill ready for use if wan
10 d. We give the account in this way mo
a. especially to show the efficiency of o.
h present arrangements for extinguishil
N fires. The building was not Of mu
i'd value, but there were many chairs al
i. much stock stored in it and the DANA
may be $500 or more. OF course t
). two large shop buildings near won
d. have been in much danger but for t
h, abundance of water and power to thr'
ell, it. The origin of the fire is unknoV
IL beyond the probability that it took frc
ot a stove pipe passing up through the cha
Q. Der of the building.
