A Good Place to Stop.

After three fire alarms in four DAYS, all
the fires being at Il distance of from ten
to thirty miles away, our people begin
to enquire what it all means. When IL
woodshed gets on fire ut Barton. thirty
miles of, Il despatch is sent here for
help, the fire alarm is sounded. and
hundreds of men stop work and rush
for the engine house and depot. with
the mercury ut 30 degrees. In the mid
die of the night II woodpile gets on fire
in.Concord, men are sent here for help.
the alarm bell is sounded at two or
three o'clock. and the whole village
awakened and frightened. When the
fire was AT West Burke. the experience
WAS repeated. The engine was hauled
from Fairbanks village in the excessive
heat. loaded on the cars. and hundred
or two men were awaiting trinSpoIta
ton when word came that they wee
not wanted. Now we believe ST. johns
bury is generous. and above all would
not like To do anything that would seem
selfish or illiberal but We submit that
there should he some limit to this mat
ter of calling out our fire department.
Towns about us should Use great dis
erection and not ask for help unless the
eAigcncie> of the case demand it. 1t is
no small thing To sound Il fire alarm :;
it di>turh> business and is great loss :;

The P. & o. R. R.---Another Forward
Movement.

The directors of the Lamoille Valley
railroad have just completed Il Contract
with the Portland Rolling Mills for
$500 tons of rails, sufficient to complete
their road from johnson to Swanton
We understand that the rails are to he
delivered very soon, and that the work
of laying the same will be begun at
both ends, and pressed forward until
the road is completed. 1t is expected
now that the road will he open through
to Lake Champaign this fall. 1t is I'M
necessary to say that the good pros
poet of this early completion of the
road, gives great satisfaction to the
directors, as it will to all friends of the
road.

Caution.

/
Although not instructed To do So, We
feel moved to caution persons from out
of town, who have occasion to drive
through this place to beware of the
bitches made tor the water pipes. and
of disturbed streets generally. The
streets are dangerous, especially to
those who have to drive through them
after nighttall. The moon is now gone
and the danger is augmented. If the
authorities are culpably negligent, us
many believe, it will he small consola-
tion to Il man after he gets his neck
broken. Again we caution the travel
ling public to move about our streets
at moderate pace and with extreme
caution.
