WHAT HAPPENED TO A MAN WHO WENT
TO THE GRANGE.
On the evening of Oct. 10Th, while
Mr.. Joseph r. Ball and wife were away
attending Grange meeting, some thirty
or forty of their friends went to their
house bringing a ladder, dirk-knife,
milking stool, and other implements.
Butfnding the doors unlocked they effect
ed a peaceable entrance and took quiet
possession, and having adjusted things
to their liking. they dispatch a messen-
ger to bring home the missing occupants
who on arrival very quitely surrendered
themselves, and were required to stand
up before the Rev. o. r. Edwards be-
fore whom they stood FIVE years ago,
and repledge themself to continue to
keep sacred their marriage VOWS. This
ceremony being ended the whole compa-
ny were treated with refreshments.
After which they willingly and cheer
fully turned over and presented by one
of their number to the surprised couple
the various implements and articles
which they brought with them, Call of
wood however, among which were some
very useful as well as beautiful articles. To
this presentation Mr.. Ball in behalf of
himself and wife responded with very
appropriate remarks. This being over a
little time was spent in social, pleasant
intercourse after which the company
dispersed, leaving very agreeable SEN
sation on the hearts of those visited and
striking impression that they might
have another visitation should the par
ties all live another five years

SAxToNs RIVER.

A very successful squirrel hunt recent
ly came off at Saxtons River, and we
have been looking to hear the report of
a still more successful one in the north
part of the State
The auction sale by 6. F. Perry takes
place Monday of next week. 1t is quite
an extensive sale and includes some of
the most valuable property that has
been offered for sale at auction this sea-
son in this section. Mr.. Perry's horses
have always been substantial credit to
the excellence of his care, and many of
them are among the best carriage and
team horses of the State. A list OF
much of the property will be found in Mr..
Perry's advertisement in another column
and the value and quality of it is such
that the sale will be likely to attract a
large attendance.

Apples are much more abundant than
was expected Joseph ii. Adams has

Gen. Geo. f. Davis has advertised for
one thousand barrels of cider which he
proposes to turn into vinegar during the

fully carried on that kind of sour work
for several years.

Messrs. Parker q Piper propose to
rebuild their steam saw mill, situate
some three quarters of a mile from the
village, on the Chester road, and recent
ly destroyed by fire. Their insurance
was only s1,000-not enough to make it
an object for them not to rebuild.
Robert Fitton, whose factory was
struck by lightning in September last, at
Cavendish, has shut up his village of
houses standing near the site of the lost
mill, and removed to Proctorsville. Last
week he went to Montreal for business
or pleasure, but will return in few
DAYS. He is said to have received from
twenty-six insurance companies SS4, $50
cash, and offers % per cent. to his cred
itors, or the alienation of bankruptcy
and, as he is a young, active business
man, he will be likely to outlive and
ride over the financial embarrassment
that just now settles down upon him
His father, James Fitton-his predeces

Bellows Falls and Grafton II. r..

A meeting of the commissioners of the
Bellows Falls and Grafton Railroad Co.
was held in this place, March 6, 1878,
and some steps taken with reference to
pressing forward this project. But the
times have not been propitious for such
an enterprise, and nearly two years have
passed since that meeting, and though
"hard times continue we are surely
nearer the day of resumption or re-
demption-we hope both. Business in
many departments is better than one
year ago. 1t is believed in well informed
circles that it will continue to grow bet
ter, that another year viii show steady
improvement and that the country will
again soon enter upon period of bust
ness prosperity. Ifso, enterprises calcu.
lated to benefit communities in which
they exist, ought to be in order, and in
deed it is now good time to give them
consideration. In connection with the
above named PROJECT, therefore, we have
inserted on second page an article on
narrow, or narrower gauge railroads
The shorter railway lines or feeders to
the main lines, greatly need to be built
at much less cost than ordinary rail-
roads, and at such cost they still answer
all purposes of transportation, build ur
and add largely to the value of the
country in which they exist, and in the
article referred to it is claimed they car
be built at a cost of $500 to $4,000 pei
mile. We are not prepared of course a
this time to say how far this is practica
bic in this section, but it seems to b,
worthy of attention and consideration.
Mr. Mansfield, mentioned in the arti
Gle alluded to, is doubtless remembered
by some in this section. A native o
Walpole he lived in Westminster til
eighteen years of age, and the railroa'
spoken of as having been built by hin
on his fathers farm was made in 1851
thirty four years ago, where the roa'
bed may still be seen, the farm now be
inc owned by Mr., Farwell.
