OUR village was somewhat disturbed ON Wednes-

It proved TO lie slight attack ia the upper portion
OF French's old post office building, and was
caused by the stove pipe getting cut Of the chin

sudden awakening Of the fire department and a
demonstration OF the fact that the town is well
supplied with fire alarms-espscially in the way
Of whistles.

In pursuance Of previously issued warning, a
town meeting was held at Village Hall, on Wednes-
day afternoon Of last week, to see II the town
would authorize the selectmen to dispose Of the
stock In the Wells River railroad, owned by the
town Of Montpelier Colonel +. v Randall was
! chosen moderator. There was considerable talk
ing done, some Of it not strictly confined To the
question before the house Mr.. Page moved that
the selectmen be authorized to so dispose Of said
stock as they should deem for the best interests Of
the town. Mr.. Willard scarcely favored the mo-
ton, as he did not see where the town would be
much benefited by the sale Of the stock Mr..
Gleason was willing to leave the matter with the
selectmeu, and thought they would not fail to act
for the interest OF the town. After considerable
discussion the question called for, and it was
voted to authorize the seleetmen ~ above stated
| A majority of the remarks made tended TO show
that the stock was Of no real value to the town
and its sale would be beneficial.
