West Rutland.


The depot Just completed here is small
building, about 30x40 feet dimensions, but
is very neatly and tastefully planned. 1t
contains two large rooms, ladies' and gents,
office and baggage room. The exterior of
the building is gotten up in the usual depot
style, expansive roof jutting far over the
| platform, and battened sides. The plat
| form extends all around the building, and
the immediate vicinity is being filled in and
| graded for the passage of vehicles. The
| painter and decorator have performed their
parts, and altogether the extremely fastid-
| ious and particular of the vicinity ought to
be satisfied that they have at last secured a
fashionable and stylish starting point and
terminus to their travels. The architects
were from Albany.
NEW RESIDENCES.
Mr.. Sylvester Smith, who has been the
principal house contractor and builder of
this vicinity for the past four years, is at
present erecting fine residence on his own
lot on Main street. For novelty the
building contains mansard roof. The
timing, stating and general flush OF the
roof make very neat appearance. The
building, when finished, will be divided
into two first class tenements. Mr.. S. has
just completed fine residence near this
building for Mr.. Poronto.
AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
'Hattie," colored lass who has been
sojourning at the town house of late and
making things lively for all the dcnzens
thereof, after one Of her "grand tantrums"
the other day, took it into her head that
there was no law compelling persons to
remain paupers unless they so desired, and
following the bent of her wicked determi-
nation she fed in the early morning down
Clarendon avenue, clothed in very fragile
and ricketty garments, the sap oozing from
her ombre cheeks and excitement flashing
from her dark eye. She had no head gear
nor shoemakcr's ware, and her gait was not
decorous or feminine. Still, unconscious
of her unusual attractiveness, she kept on
across the causeway en- her way to Center
Rutland, the former center of her exist
ence. We understand cloud has passed
away from the town house since che fled.
'THE JUSTICE MIDDLE"
'The justice middle" has slightly ruff
fled the usually placid surface Of our every
day lite. ~. E. NJ" and the Rutland
Herald, with profound acuteness, discov-
cred that about thousand voters at the re.
cent election had been voting fer two
mythical individuals who never existed.
Two not very indlstinct shadows of those
nobodies reside here. THE GLOBE an
nounced their election. 81. E. NJ" and
The Herald, dreaming Of Matt Carpenter,
said not Since TIE GLOBE has kindly
furnished similar instance, in which a
high bailiff was declared elected, although
his constituents "put in nobody in the
county," and thereby gave us a very sensible
precedent, made by the general assembly
in such cases, our citizens generally have
been agreeably enlightened, and we trust
that ~. E. NJ" and the Herald have also
acquired few added grains of wisdom. 1t
is generally supposed that all men are fond
OF public honors of whatever kind; that
even humble justlceship is not to be
despised, so we believe that those two un-
fortunate persons over here who are JUS
tees and didn't get any votes, will cling to
their honors tenaciously. They will not
resign in favor of the Herald, or 81. E. NJ"
or anybody else until some higher authority
proclaims them on.elected.
