GRAFTON.

The patent swindler has been through
Grafton again. This time it was the H0l-
low twisted cable wire companY's patent
clothes line. q. W. Wright was the vic
tim. About three weeks ago an agent of
the company called On Wright and induced
him to become an agent for the sale of the
clothes line. Wright signed paper which
he supposed to be al agreement TO that eff
feet. On Tuesday last man bearing the
name OF w. q. Kingsley, claiming to be
an agent of the company, called upon
Wright and demanded immediate payment
for $l05 worth of goods which he claimed
Wright had ordered. After warm talk
Wright gave note for the amount de-
manded. After Kingsley had left Wright
began to think that he had been swindled,
and taking legal advice he and Sheriff
Phelps started On Kingsley's track. They
oyerhauled him in Windham aud by some
sort OF persuasion induced him to give up
the note. Kingsley answers the descrip-
ton and bears the same name of the man
who figured in the patent gate swindle
few years ago. LIP.

The "Mistletoe Bough" presented by the
members of the Episcopal society, last
Friday evening, in Joslin hail. was truly a
successful affair, and was witnessed by
nearly three hundred people. The net re-
ceipts of the evening were $75. The en-
tertainment will be repeated at East Poult-
ney Monday evening, Feb. 8, 1877.
Prof. Magner, with his troupe of trained
horses, arrived in town last Tuesday
afternoon. His lecture in Joslin hall, in
the evening, and the exhibition of his per-
forming ponies, Wednesday morning, were
well attended.
The all absorbing topic with our citizens
is the great harp concert, Friday evening,
Feb. 0. by Prof. Aptonmas, in which he
will be assisted by the beautiful and &C.
complshed soprano, Miss Isabel Stone.
whose singing is so highly spoken of by
the Boston press. This will be their only
appearance In western Vermont, and con
sequently the only opportunity afforded
our citizens for hearing them.

A petition ia in circulation to have the
selectmen settle the suit now pending be.
tween the town and William Vail, as
bOndsman for Charles Vail. This ia a good
idea, as the case ought to be settled With

half for which the town sued. We see no
reason why it should not be generally

Railroads.

The Railroad Gazette gives tables show
ing that in 1876 2, 44s mules of railway were
constructed in this country. Texas and
Californis did about one-third of the build
ing. The year was favorable for railway
construction, so far as cheap prices OF
labor and material was concerned, but con-
fidence was lacking. The Gazette is of the
opinion that for while profitable railroad
building will be confined to short lines for
feeders. The country has now total Of
70, $40 miles of railway.
