BRArTLEBoRo AND WHITEHALL RAILROAD
The Brattleboro 4 Whitehall Narrow Gauge
railroad, now leased to the Central Vermont rail-
road, was opened for business November 18th.
1t is doing good business and since the passen-
ger tariff has been cut down from five to four
cents per mile it gives very general satisfaction to
the citizens along the route. Its business is
steadily increasing and the public well pleased
with the management of the road. The leading
officials from st. Adams have passed over the
road several times and endeavored to ascertain
what the citizens considered fair rates for freight
traffic, and they trying to give the most salts
factory terms possible to shippers on the road
The telegraph line from Brattleboro to London
derry will be in working order by January !,
1881. Several large mills are being erected this
winter and business will soon be lively all along
the line. At several points upon West river are
good water privileges, one notably so at West
rownshend, but it is now in the hands OF parties
unable to stock it or make the necessary repairs
upon the mill to put it in good condition, and 1t
offers an investment for a man of capital and
energy to purchase and stock it,

BERNHARDT.-lt turns out after all that even
the Queen City OF Vermont is too small hamlet
for the Bernhard to play In. Burlington has our
congratulations that 1t has not had this greatness
thrust upon it, and that 1t will try to achieve
greatness by selling holiday presents This is the
way the Free Press puts it: 1.-THE cancelling OF
the Bernbardt engagement in this city was due to
various causes. In good part beyond doubt, it
was owing to the scruples Of a community COM
posed largely OF people who have distinct ideas as
to the code Of morals they approve, and are dis
posed to place some limits on the kind OF public.
characters they will counenance. Bat the scruples
of the scrupulous were largely reinforced by the
high prices asked for tickets-hgher than ever
were asked before for any public entertainment
in this state. good many people felt as did one
Of our citizens who said that neither his conscience
nor his purse would permit him to see the Bern
hardt, or ~ did another who said that at fifty
cents admission he might have been willing to
take a look at woman so much talked about
but at 50 a ticket he should take high moral
ground The thing was predoomed to failure

Bernhardts manager, to make all he could out OF

first, afterwards reduced to 81. 000) was exacted
This was conceded and the prices placed as high
as 1t was thought the community would stand
After posters had been put out and tickets adver-
tised at from 81 up to $780, peremptory orders
dictated, 1t Is said, by Miss Bernhard, came Il
raise the price to $500. This, in any case, is not
popular process; and In this case was enough OF
itself TO virtually kill the sale Of tickets Had
Miss Bernhardt's character been as spotess as
Charlotte Cushmans II Is not likely that the opera
house could have been filled at even the prices
first announced. Our French speaking people
do not frequent the opera house; and there are
not many who would pay much to hear French
play--whch they could not understand, even
with sight OF a worlds notorety thrown In
The city will survive the loss OF this entertainment
and there will DO 80 much more money to put into
Christmas presents, and for people to pay their
debts with. The 81, 900 the French actress would

TERRIBLE AFFAIR-Frday evening last fire
broke out in the wallpaper factory of George w.
Tilt in Buffalo, New York, an immense FIVE
story building. The building had eighty feet
front, and about three hundred feet in depth.
About one hundred and fifty men and boys were
employed at the time, the business demanding
extra help; all of that number were at work. In
less than twenty minutes after the alarm was
given the building was mass Of flames The
walls crumbled and fell and probably buried
twenty to thirty OF the employees. The doors to
the different rooms swing in, and each had a
heavy spring closing it, thereby retarding the
egress Of the occupants The building was with
out fire escape of any kind, The terrified
workmen took to the windows, and many escaped
with broken bones and bruised bodies. Those in
the upper stories unable to escape appeared for
moment at the windows, then sank back suffo-
Gated by the smoke and flames. Besides those
burned in the building, the loss of life and broken
limbs caused by jumping from the windows, was
appalling.
