coal Car standing on Grifllth's owitoh, and
which was about half full of coal, with
SAYING, "Get clear down into the corner
where the conductor won't see you" which
the tramp did, where he stayed for some
time after the train had left. After time
some boys went aud told him the train had
got nearly to Troy aud he had better come

Your correspondent J. NJ. c., has very
neat suggestion in regard to the celebration
Of the battle Of Hubbardton. Namely, to
have the principal celebration in Castleton.
Why not in Rutland? Would rot more
people be accommodated in Rutland than
in Castleton? The mere circumstance OF
the battle being fought in East Hubbard
ton, and the monument erected there, needs
not prevent a celebration in Rutland more
than in Castleton. At any rate, it will
please IIubbardton well enough, presume,
if Castleton or Rutland, or any other 10 avn,
will take the whole job of celebration, and
relieve East Hubbsrdton entirely.
