The gratifying feature of this Republican
triu mph is that it sets good example for
Republicans everywhere to let no differ
ences of opinion stand in the way of up
holding the ascendency ofthe organization.
A large proportion of the Maine Republic
cans were opposed to the Presidents poll
cy in either the one or the other of its lead
ing features, but they rightly deemed that
no reason for not joining heartily with the
Presidents supporters in keeping the State
right. They had no thought of committing
suicide because they we're not entirely sat
isfied with the political situation; they re-
solved to perform their own clear duty as
the best contribution they could make to-
ward solving ultimately the problems be-
setting the common cause. The hope oil
the country is still in the Republican party.
SO long as that is kept intact and triumph
ant, II will work out its own differences in
10 clear and practicable policy, through
the maturing influences Of time, the com.
parlson of views, and of common aims and

SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROTECTOR OF TIE
DILLERIcA BEDFORD NARROW GAUaE
RAILROAD.
George E. Mansfield the protector and
present manager of the narrow gauge ga
inch) Billerlca and New Bedford, Mass,
railroad, was resident of Westminster
about seventeen years and moved from
that town twenty years ago. He built his
first narrow gauge railroad in that town
when he was less than ten years of age.
We were small boys, then, and spent many
pleasant days together in childish sports
with the little platform car that rolled so
easily on the 10.inch track OF the railroad
built across his fathers door yard in front
of the house. We visited together two
years go, the home of his childhood, aud
the first thing inspected was the spot where
the railroad was built some thirty years
since. Some of the embankment of the
road and the ruins OF a little cnlvert were
still visible. He always had fondness for
rallroading and some supposed that he
would seek employment OF that kind; but
instead he engaged in the sewing machine
busin ess and worked as a mechanic several
years. His railroad talent was not allowed
10 slun Der, for when we visited him at his
home in Hyde Park, Mass, three years
ago, there was reminder of by-gone days
in the shape OF a little railroad across his
front yard on which he transported his coal
from the street to the cellar. The follow
ing year, times being dull in the sewing
machine business, as well as other bust
ness, he built about three-fourihs of a mile
of A-inch iron track railroad near his resi-
dence, o n land which the owners allowed
him to use for that purpose. The building
of the road, including culverts and bridges
and cars, was the work OF his own hands
during the leisure hours before and afler
his employ ment in the shop at Boston. 1t
began on a rise Of ground and extended
down into a plain so that he could ride ON
the car and carry passenger or two, one
way. This road attracted not only the at
tention Of the citizens OF Hyde Park and
the local press, but also the notice Of prom
inent railroad men in and around Boston.
The Bosto Herald gave several favorable
notices. The making of this narrow-gauge
railroad led 10 Mr.. Manstield's being the
manager of the Billerica and Bedford rail-
road. That this article may not be too
long, some further particulars may he ex-
pected from the writer in another paper.
-Ansel ]. Miller, son OF Joseph Miller
OF this town, and graduate from the West
Brattleboro Academy, entered Williams
College last week.

THE SIGNS OF IMPROVING BUSINESS are
too numerous and simultaneously reported
from too many parts of the country to be
ignored. From New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis, come re-
ports of hustle in wholesale houses, activl-
ty among retailers, big orders from the in
terror, and the most exhilarating crop pros
poets and promise of foreign trade. The
gold premium is going down, down, while
railroad stocks in New York are going up
and up, and although the latter is the spec
ulators' work, yet it would not succeed as
1t does but for the growing and general
confidence that the country is on the thresh-
old of better times, and that prosperous
fall and winter trade is to be looked for
ward to. No doubt the special impulse of
the improving tone OF business is the enor-
nous crop yield, and accordingly the West,
and the great transportation temini in the
Middle States are the first TO experience
the invigorating influence, but New Eng
land will speedily feel 1t in the freshened
demand for her manufactures, which will
follow the first sensation of "flush" times
in the other sections OF the Union. Spring

The National Rifle Association, organized
In 1857, and consisting at present Of seven

On Thursday, the Both of August, the
relatives and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Alon-
20 Thomas, numbering about 90, gathered
at their residence to celebrate their 25th
wedding anniversary, taking them COM
pletely by surprise. Among the number
was the mother of the groom, aged SO, who
slill performs the duties of her household
without assistance. The company began
to assemble at half-past two, and the AFTER
noon was spent in social manner. Al tea
time table was set, adorned with bouquets
OF flowers and bountlfully spread with food
to satisfy the hungry, of which all partook
with evident relish. The evening was en-
livened with singing, and social chat.
Mr.. j. II. Richmond thanked the friends
in behalf of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas, for
their many presents, which amounted to
$35, and for the pleasant time which they
had enjoyed with their neighbors and
friends. Amer singing the Doxology the
company separated, going 10 their several
homes. F.P.H.

work Of pulling down the unsightly ruins
was still further prosecuted.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
AT tho time of the fire there was a gener-
al disposition, without looking closely into
the matter, to charge the cause TO incendi-
arism, and various stories were told of par
ties having been seen to leave the premises
before the fire broke out, under suspicious
circumstances. None of these, however,
when carefully traced out, seem TO amount
TO anything definite or salts factory and af-
ter a careful examination of the subject we
are satisfied that there is no good reason TO
believe that the fire originated from any
other than purely accidental cause. What
this cause was, however, cannot be defin-
itely stated. A spark dropped, or fire
originating from any source in the loose lit
ter of the lower stables, might have smoul-
dered there, and suddenly bursting out, 1t
would have run through the inflammable
material in the vicinity with lightning ra-
pidity and have filed the building with
smoke and flame in very few minutes
time, as was the case with them when they
were first reached after the alarm was Civ
en-.
THE HISTORY OF THE REVERE HOUSE.
The stone building, which OF late years
has formed part of the Revere House,
was built in 1887 by Ashbel Dickinson, and
the lower story was used by him as a stove
aud tinware shop. In 1sI9 Mr.. James Fisk
built the Revere House proper, and opened
ii as a'hoel in the following year. Three
or four years aflerward Mr.. Fisk bought
the stone building and connected il with
the house. The house was at various times
afterward in the hands of numerous differ
ent landlords. About the year 1860 Mr..
Fisk sold the property TO II. p. Van Bib
Der, and his administrator in 1862 sold II 10
Mr.. ii. Q. NASH, in whose hands the prop
erty has since been, and who has, for great
part of the time, kept the house himself
Its destruction, aside from the fact that it
removes an old landmark, is sincerely re-
GREETED by every citizen of Brattleboro, and
there is natural and unavoidable feeling
that in the burning OF this valuable and
substantial property every individual has
in some sort sustained personal loss. 1t
is TO be hoped that by some arrangement so
eligible and desirable site may not long
remain unoccupied.

men of revolutionary times, John Adams

in the great civil service battles which pre-

each other for the highest Office in the gift

on the same day, and that day the anni-
