The New York Tribune gives an inter.

parlor in connection with the church
building, which contains a library and a
shooting.gallery, and is adorned with
pictures and furnished with games. The
membership numbers about 100. The
library, according to DR.. Eggleston, origi-

Sunday night two canoeists from Boston
arrived hero on their way down the river
each travelling in a separate canoe of the
most improved pattern. They spent the
night at Townss hotel and went on their way
on Monday. They went from Boston to Wells
River by train, and putting their boats into
the river there were on their way TO Boston
via the Connecticut and Long Island Sound.
One Of the most narrow escapes from a
horrible accident which we remember TO have
heard as happening on the rocks at the falls
here, occurred last Saturday afternoon. A.
H. Adams farmer about GO years old, who
resides a few miles north of here on the New
Hampshire side of the river, was driving n
pair of horses which We're attached to light
express wagon, and when nearly opposite the
east end of the toll bridge his horses were
frightened by the cars and became unmanage-
able. They turned toward the bridge and in
stead of taking the centre of it they took the
sidewalk ON the south side. 1t not being
wide enough for either horses or wagon, and
the outside railing being very light, a decided
smash occurred. The wagon struck the end

Geo S. Curtis met with a serious and
well-nigh fatal accident on Tuesday, sth inst.
He was passing with cart load of apples
over the bridge across West river, above JOSH
all Pierce's, when one of the girders gave
way, and he was precipitated, with his oxen
cart, apples and cider barrels to the river
bed, a distance of about ~ feet
Strange enough he escaped with some Sc
we're bruises, no bones being broken and the
same is true of the oxen. The cart was per
feet wreck, and good part of the apples are
in no need of grinding at the cider mil. This
bridge was repaired only about month ago
receiving new set of stringers, and il seems
as If there was carelessness at least, on the
part Of those who had charge of that work
for the piece that gave way was very rotten.
and other parts of the bridge are now nearly
as bad.

The R,Jormer informs the public that
propose to prevent the payment of any mon
ey from the town of Brattleboro to the Brat
tleboro and Whitehall railroad. For some un-
accountable reason the RcJormer for once is
mistaken. am just as anxious to have the
town of Brattleboro assist the Brattleboro and
Whitehall railroad ms l ever was. but in so
doing think it is the duty of the authorities,
under whose direction this money is to be
paid, to know for cetainty that every pre-
caution is taken by them that is possible to
be taken 20 insure to us, the town. an ade-
quate return for the expenditure of $50, 600
Let them know for a certainty that contract
has been made for the eHtrc completion of
the road and its equipment, that this contract
covers land damages, aud all provisions for
terminal accommodations, depot grounds and
accommodations on the ine-for everything
neelful to make it a railroad iegaly and prac-
ttraily, and that this contract has the needful
surc;ios TO it to insure It's fulGllment in ev-
cry respect. 1t is not of the least consequence
whether the surety is for 5000 or $780,
900 1t should be such surety as will insure
the completion of the road and its equipment
l do not say the 6hihiing of the road, but
do say what have always said when have
talked TO the voters OF this town, TIE o0mple-
tOa Of the road and its equipment 1t was
upon this assurance that this town voted its
aid, and the voters wish this agreement in
sisted upon. If it is, we shall all be satisfied
if not, woe unto the man that botrays Us and
takes our money. The custom has been to
get the bonds or cash Of a town and expend
it, and then, if the town wishes for a railroad
they must advance more money to save what
had gone before, and it has usually ended by
the town paying the bills and some one else
owning whatever thsre might happen to be
left. This was the very point that caused
quite a number Of our best citizens to be so
strenuously opposed TO this project, and it was
an objection that every friend of the enter
prise said should not occur in this case if it
could possibly be prevented. Its prevention
rests entirely with the town authorities, and
every true friend OF the projected railroad
should urge upon these gentlemen the impor-
lance of their wGtchfulness. Neither injunc-
tons nor lawsuits are needed square de-
termination exercised by these guardians of
our funds is exactly what every tax payer de-
sires and will insist upon, if lac is the true
friend of the Brattleboro and Whitehall rail
road If any desire less than this they may
certainly be classed as false friends, or enc
mics in disguise. am charged up the line,
and by many in this town, as wishing to OBJ
