Great trouble and much profanity
about lcaky roofs the past week. In
fact men are having almost as much
fuss with their caves as old Adam had
with his Eve.
The annual meeting OF the stock
holders of the Woodstock railroad
was held here last week. The attend

former years, but there were enough

year, SS,225,06. During the past
year $4,000 had been paid into the
Town Treasury by the treasurer Of
the road, and it appeared that after
paying all bills, there was now $500
in his hands. The gross amount Of
earnings of the road for the year were
S2O,9G4,7G. The whole number Of
passengers carried on the road the
past year, were 14,495, and the total
number of tons Of freight carried was
G,344. The following officers (old

Dewey, president ; Chas. Dana, vice
president Francis w. Clark, treas

N. Billings, Edward Dana, Chas. S.
Raymond, Otis Chamberlin. The OPP
position to the management and board
OF directors introduced resolution,
the substance OF which was, that the
Town of Woodstock being the largest
stockholder was entitled to three
members on the board of directors, in
her corporate capacity. This was
met with the assertion that she had
three already on the board. Then
the question OF the residence of Ed
ward Dana was brought up, and his
friends claimed him for Woodstock,
although they denied this to the List
tiers last spring, and the resolution
was voted down. The opposition
have gained one point-they have
located Mr.. Dana's residence. A
committee consisting of Chas. Chap.
man, H. V. French and G. w. Say
ward were appointed to confer with
the Directors in the matter of chang
ing the time of running trains.
