The New Railroad Co.

As announced in these columns last
week, the receivership of the P. & O..
was ended June Both, and the property
turned over to the st. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain Railroad, which as
sumed control of affairs July LIST. The
Following are the officers of the new
company: Horace Fairbanks, presi-
dent; VIM. P. Fairbanks, treasurer !;
Albert W. Hastings, clerk. Executive
Committee: Horace Fairbanks, Frank
lin Fairbanks, Bradley Barlow. The
following are the heads of departments ::
A. B. Jewett, superintendent A. w.
Hastings, cashier; Charles H. Stevens,
general freight and passenger agent !;
John r. Rust, engineer and sup't of
track and bridges; Geo. E. Howe, mas
ter mechanic.
We have heretofore given the list OF
directors of the new road, which we re-
peat below Horace Fairbanks, Lewis
Fitzgerald, New York, Franklin Fair
banks, George w. Hendee, John j
McCook, Philadelphia, VIM. H. Rhawn,
Philadelphia, Thomas Coggeshall
Rhode Island, Bradley Barlow, A. B
Jewett. 1t will be seen that MAORI
ty of the board live in Vermont, and
that the management is held in St
Johnsbury-a fact that is no doubt graft
flying to the friends of the road all along
the line. The business of the road is
gradually increasing, and the outlook
for the future is more promising thar
before for long time. We can Ger,
tainly congratulate the officers on the
unraveling of the tangle into which the
courts had placed the road, and the
improved prospects for the future. Ger.
tainly the number and convenience O.
the trains, and the accommodations o.
the road, are now all the public car
ask.

Rowland entertained large crowd I'M
til late in the evening with brilliant
display of fireworks. The occasion will
be long remembered by the little folks
as a Red Letter day. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rowland do not appear content to live
for themselves alone, but are ever
mindful of those around them, especial
ly their relatives who have not been
blessed with so many of the good things
of this world as it has been their good
fortune to have. How much pleasanter
this life would be if there were more
such people in this world.

Fire at Paddock Village,

Last Monday morning about three
situated near the Catholic cemetery in
Paddock village, was discovered to be
on fire. The alarm was given by ring
ing the bell of the Advent church, and
soon the Island hose company was on
the ground. The fire broke out in the
L, and was pretty well under way be-
fore anything could be done. Mr.. Nor
rison's little girl. who was sleeping in
the chamber of this part, came near
being lost she being considerably sui
located before she could be rescued. The
company have about 500 feet of hose,
but there lacked about so feet of being
enough to reach the burning part of
the house. Water could be thrown
upon the side opposite the fire, but in
this way could not be very effective.
The house was situated just few feet
outside of the village corporation, was
two stories high, and nearly new. 1t
was entirely consumed, but some of the
contents were saved, consisting of a
bed or two and some furniture, the
doors, windows and blinds. 1t is not
known how the fire caught. A CHM
ney burned out the day before, which
may be the cause, and some think it
came from ashes somewhere around the
premises. The loss is thought to be 49,
500, and was insured for $1,000. 1t seems
to us that the alarm in this case was not
of the most effective kind.

A PAINFUL AFFAIR.-A ten years old
son of Moses S. Page of Melrose, Mass,
visiting with family friends at Haver-
hill, N. H., was missing week ago
Monday. He was supposed to have
gone to another relatives, some dis
lance away, but when it was found he
had not been there, vigorous search
was made, hundreds of people being
out for days. 1t was thought by some
that the boy had been kidnapped, but
on Saturday his lifeless body was found
in the river. How he came to be there
does not appear. Mr.. Page was a stu
dent at the st. Johnsbury academy in
1854, and married a daughter of Asa
Hubbard, Esq, of this place. The be-
reaved parents have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends.

race was completed. He was uninjured,
and now the Fourth is over, he is as
demure as any well educated deer.
THE CROWDS, GOOD ORDER, &c.
There was large crowd during the
day, and this was increased in the eve
ming by the trains from each direction.
1t was an orderly and good natured
crowd, and free from drunkenness and
rowdyism. We learn of no accident by
the cars, and nothing but slight injury
to wagons, although the street was very
full of teams during the illumination.

Childrens' Sunday.


The services at the Church of the
Messiah last Sunday we're said to be
very interesting. 1t was called "Chil-
drens' Sunday"-they performing the
greater part of the exercises. In the
forenoon, Mr.. Tillotson, the pastor,
preached a sermon appropriate to the
day, as one of national observance. He
pointed out the sacrifices our fathers
endured, and the great principles they
established for the common cause of
freedom, and enjoined all to keep these
things in remembrance. In the evening
the services by the children consisted
of singing by about Is young misses,
and speaking, in which exercise about
40 took part. The singing was under
the direction of Miss Bancroft, the or
ganist, and was very good. The speak
ing is spoken of as equally fine. There
we're readings by the superintendent,
and the. most beautiful floral decorations,

On account of the rain the program
at the Driving Park was postponed from

ried out In full, with the exception OF
the foot race. The 3 minute race was
won by "Pluck," Canada horse. The
"open" race was won by Utton's "Tom,
Pettete's ''Jim Fisk" second. The best
time in the bicycle race was m. s.
tor half mile. The great excitement
OF the day was the wrestling match be-
tween Dufur of Marlboro, Mass, and
Flagg of Braintree, VT, for 5000. This
was really fine exhibition of science
and strength. Dufur gained the first
and third falls, and Flagg the second,
fourth and fifth and the match. Be-
tween two and three thousand people
were present.

F. E. Richardson, who has just COM
pleted his new bone mill, has put in
the necessary machinery and already
commenced operations. The building
is placed upon the old site, and has
sufficient water power to carry on this
business. This industry is compare
lively new in this section, but we IN
derstand it is increasing every year.
Bone meal is not only considered valu-
able for the health and welfare of stock
and poultry, but is being used more
than ever before as fertilizing material.
AS Mr.. Richardson was unfortunate in
having his mill burned last winter,
which was without insurance, we hope
the friends everywhere will give him a
call.
A man in this region thought one
day last week that the water running
at his house did not taste just right,
and so went to the spring to see if he
could discover anything wrong. On
arriving there and making examination,
he found two dead rats and a dead
snake, nearly decomposed. He says
that while he was fortunate not to be
sick while using this water, it makes
him sick now to think of it. We would
advise every one to examine and clean
out such places often.
The schools closed here last Friday,
after a successful term of ten weeks.
Thursday and Friday there were ex-
aminations. All did themselves credit
in our judgment, especially so the class
in history, and the juveniles who had a
spelling match. A little daughter of S..
H. Mute spelled down the class and did
not get spelled down herself.
Jonathan Farr, since painting his
Portland street residence has added
new blinds, and the whole establish
ment now looks inviting and pleasant.
Adams and Calderwood have taken
the job to single Warren Powers farm
barn, and are expecting to commence
the work this week.
The farmers in this immediate neigh
bOrhood are haying in full blast. We
notice that some of the pieces of grass
belonging to E. L. Hovey, Edwin Har-
ris and VIM. Higgins, are stout, and of
fiIst-rate quality. The opinion seems
to be that there will be no more than a
fair average crop, however. Lambert
Packard, having new seeded considera-
BILE last year, will get an unusually
large crop this season.
Matthew Caldbeck has recently
bought quite strip of land of the Huse
estate, joining his place, in order to get
more room for his increasing business.
This piece will be great help to him,
for Tuesday morning he had three car
loads of lumber arrive, and now he will
have sufficient storage room. He in
tends to build shop on this new piece,
so as to give him the necessary facili-
ties in his building operations. He is

We have heard it stated that this in
stitutiOn was believed to be as well
managed as any one of the kind in the
state. 1t is certainly very important
one, and the figures we give below, of
the amount of deposits from the vari-
GUS towns, will show that the people
have considerable confidence in its
management. In this county we find

and last year nine of these machines
went to that country. 1t appears that
within few years there have been
quite number of improvements made,
that gives more power with less fric-
ton, and doing the work better than
ever at the same time.

Severance and Aver are yet doing
a lively business. They manufacture a
pile of centre-tables, in particular, and
all their work looks well made, as one
can judge pretty well to see it in the
white. And by the way, we would say
to people of leisure, if they wish to
know what is going on in this village
by way of manufactures, they could not
spend day to better advantage than
TO visit our places of business. We feel
certain of this, for we have tried it.

he has sold as many as As horse powers.
A horse power will run about l8 years

Will ordinarily run about ten years.
