An Attempt to Wreck a Train.

SHELBURNE FALLS, November 90. The 100
passenger train west had narrow escape
from being wrecked near this station, last
night, by rock placed on the track by I'M
known parties. Had the rock been a trfie
larger it must have thrown the train from the
track and caused terrible loss of life, as
the train was well filled with passengers.
Fortunately the train was going with force
sufficient to throw off the obstruction, with
no other injury than light damage to the loco
motive.

"Wednesday evening is the time set down
for the appearance here of the Ideal Pinafore
Company. 1t is seldom so large and talented
a list of artists visits Augusta as comprise
this company. Where can you produce such
a quartette as Whitney, Barnabee, Fessen-
den and rockingham? Certainly not this
side of the water, nor can you produce
Whitney's superior the other side. Then
come Adelaide Phillips, Beebe and Calef,
some of the best known singers Of the day.
With the above as principals and such
chorus as they would require, and with the
Germania orchestra under S. S. Studley, it
will be seen what rich musical treat is in
store for our citizens.

The Gardiner Reporter says: number
of our young people went to Augusta We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings to witness the
opera Pinafore as put on the stage by the Angus
ia Pinafore Company. This company is conf
posed wholly of local talent made up from
the people of Augusta and vicinity, and the
entertainment is said by those who Witnessed
it to have been highly creditable to those as
Stunning the several parts. The choruses were
rendered in a very fine manner and the young
ladies and gentlemen who sang them may
justly feel proud, for it is the universal opin-
ion of those who were present that they ex-
celled anything of the kind that has ever Wis
tied this section. These young people are
not only very fine singers, as their perform
ance testifies, but are very pleasant and cour-
teous people to mingle with. The entertain
ment taken as whole gave good satisfaction
and those who attended from this city ex-
pressed themselves as we'll repaid for their
trouble.
