The White Mountain express train made
its last trip and was discontinued last Sat
urday. The train proved a great conven-
fence 10 the travelling public, as well as
source Of handsome profit to the railroad
lines over which 1t passed, and we trust
that another season may see II again on the
road. Conductor Carroll resumed his old
place on the mail train on Tuesday.

Mr.. Amherst Morse, in the employ of
J. G. Taylor q Co., grocers, died Sunday
morning Of cholera morbus, at the age of
so, after an illness OF less than twenty-four
hours. Mr.. Morse, who had only been in
town since last spring, was a son OF Austin
Morse, formerly of Fayetteville but now OF
Worcester, Mass, and was himself in trade
at Williamsyile from 1868 TO 1875. Mr..
Morse had good war record, was a stir
ring, energetic, hard.working man, and
was held in high respect by those who
knew him best. His family, consisting of
wife and daughter, reside at Williams
Vile, whittier his remains were taken.
1t is suggested by many OF our village
people that, IL, whenever the Revere House
corner is again built up, an arrangement
could be made by which we could have the
post office and telegraph Office in the new
building, while on a second or third floor a
neat and attractive opera house could be
fitted up with modern appliances, such an
arrangement would add more han any 9TH
er one thing to the convenience OF our citi-
zens and TO the attrsctiveness of our town.
We hope that when the proper time comes
the right men may put in a word in the
right place, and secure, If possible, some
such desirable improvement.
A petition is in circulation, which has
already been numerOusly signed, praving
the selectmen 10 widen Main and Elliot
streets at the Revere House corner, aud TO
also reduce the grade of the hill at that cor
ner. The improvement IS one whose i'm
portance and desirabiiily is apparent. 1t
would not only add greatly TO the appear
aHce Of our main thoroughfdre, but il would
also give the increased room for the BUSH
ness and traffic of the village, OF which
there Ia, aud has been an actual need. The
expense is an item which must be taken
into careful account, but at the same time
If The change is ever TO be accomplished il
portunity exists.
We learn that Mr.. Nash has decided 10
go Immediately about the work OF roofing
in the stone building and putting il in con-
dillon for occupation at the earliest possible
day. The lower floor will be used for
store, as heretofore, and in the second and
third stories he will tit up convenient and
commodious family tene nents. MIR. Nash
also has under consideration a project for
buildings hotel of wood on the site OF the
burned buildings. The new hotel, if built,
would occupy, not only the site of the brick
building, but that OF The brown building
and large portion of what was formerly
yard in the rear of the house, as well.
Whether such building will be put up is,
however, wholly uncertain, the plan hay-
ing tax en- no definite shape as yet.
On Tuesday the telegraph brought the
sad announcement of the sudden death at
Annapolis, Nd, Of Mrs. Gertrude Brown,
wife Of Lieut. Commander A Han d. Brown
and daughter of Hon. Royal Tyler of this
village. 1t is in some degree a source of
comfort 10 the stricken friends that Mrs,
Tyler was with her daughter at the time of
her death, she having gone 10 Annapolis
the week previous. Immediately on the
receipt of the telegram Judge Tyler was
summoned from Fayetteville, where he
was attending to his duties as clerk of
courts, and on Wednesday night the body,
accompanied by the husband, mother and
other friends, was brought 10 Bralleboro.
The funeral takes place this, Thursday, ar
ternoon at ST. Michael's (Episcopal) church.
1t is only fortnight ago, that the marriage
of Judge and Mrs. Tyler's only remaining
