time, aud three or four were injured by the
fall. Two, named John Savage and Mich

been killed.
Ned Wilson, clerk employed in the
Bellows Falls national bank, was seriously
injured Friday evening while using lawn

We read with considerable interest The
note from Dummerston in last weeks
Phoenix, over the signature OF the station
agent at that place. As there is little in tie
article in question except "you lie," and
'me and nay neighi ors, it isn't, perhaps,
worth much notice anyway but will try
and say something, however, that will
calm Mr.. Tenney, though perhaps little
of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup would
answer better. Mr.. Tenney says that if
intend 10 have people understand he is en-
gagged in the liquor traffic, l state that
which is false. Really, but have | made
any such statement? l think not. Re
Gently, three citizens OF Putney passed
through portion of this town, oSteaSiJy
bound for Dummerston depot" II is true
and can prove il. On their return they
behaved in a disorderly and disgraceiul
manner, which l can also prove; and
thought if il affected men in this manner
to visit Dummerslon depot it had ought TO
be looked into; and / think SO still. ! did
not say that rum was sold there / did not
say that the men in question had any rum
at all but If Mr.. Tenney sees TT To put

pleases. Mr.. T. is proluse in such expires
sions as 'lie," "snea6," &c.,-cxpresso
which are never used 10y any hut ignorant
men aud which always hurt the party using
them worse than the one against whom
they are directed. He also seems to be
considerably troubled in regard to the
welfare Of his neighbors. Will he be so
kind as TO give me the names of his neigh
bors whom my letters have offended Or
course they are brave men and not afraid
TO have their names known. One thing
more, Mr.. Tenney; who is Mr., Wy?
will you give me his full name, or hasn't
he got any? Ii the transaction referred to
In any way relates TO me, l will drop you

lice and municipal judges provide for the
