- There was a sociable at the lecture
room of the Congregational church on
Wednesday evening for the benefit Of
foreign missions. There was quite good
attendance of young people, and few
older ones. Refreshments in the form Of
cake and coffee were served, and Mrs.

those participating seemed to enjoy the

The rails upon the Addison railroad,
which were laid new in 1870 and have
had only very light usage since, are be.

down on the Addison road. Most of the
track on this road between Rutland and
Burlington will by this means soon be
about as good as new. The Addison road
is SO little used it is thought the old rails
will answer there very well.
