The campaign flags and banners on both
sides were taken in on Tuesday, the streets
have resumed their normal appearance and
the community is ready for four years Of
honest work under the rule Of General Pros
pcrity. Let Us have peace, permanent
reading and club ROOM and a new railroad
station
Angelo, the keeper of the town hall nut
stand, rejoces in the possession of u substau-
tial covered and enclosed stand for his win
ter's business. The young man has made
himself a universal favorite by his good ma
turo and quiet, unobtrusive way of attending
to his business, and everybody is glad to see
him prosper.
The individual hasn't yet been found
rash enough to suggest any improvement in
our November weather so far. The ample
rains have filed the springs and streams, and
scattered between have been days Of unmis-
taxable Indian summer, with a softness and
balm in the air which can be likened 10 no
other season.
Harry Kinson, Herbert Eyerleth and n.
j. Evans, worthy disciples OF Eimrod, spent

Of this week, in hunting gray squirrels in

ed Wednesday night with 80 squirrels, weigh
ing i3l lbs. The string is undoubtedly tue
finest one ever Brought into Brattleboro

The children of the Methodist society
carried on a flower mission during the past
summer, and gathered S33 for the furnishing
of the new church The following we're in
strumental in securing the most while all
did well Wallie Geddis, Eddie Fuller, Louise
Pine, Rena Young, Eta Young, Emma Fuller.
Friends out Of the society kindly aided with
flowers, Ia whom many thanks are due.
-Estey * Co., are about putting in a new
apparatus changing and improving the meth
cd of manufacture of their gas. The gas
will be made from the crude petroleum Just
as it comes from the ground, instead of from
the refuse left after the ref ming process as is
now the case. The petroleum will be ship
ped here in tanks, and pipe will probably
be laid to the railroad station through which
it will be pumped up to the works.
A spur track has been laid on the east
side of the platform at the passenger station
for the accommodation of the narrow gauge
passenger cars and a track for the freight
business has been laid down through the
freight yard on the east side of the station.
Both locomotives and a large force of men
are engaged in graveling, the purpose being to
accomplish everything possible in this direc-
Iion before the ground freezes. The time
| for the opening of the road for the regular
running of trains has not yet been named.
We cannot refrain from seconding the
suggestion elsewhere made by correspond
ent with regard to the duty of parents to Wis
it and see for themselves the working Of the
Grammar school. Nor does the suggestion
| apply alone to the Grammar school. 1t holds
| good with every department of the schools
| from the lowest grade to the highest II may
safely be laid down as an inhexible rule that
no parent has the right to form a settled
| opinion of the methods of any school until he
or she has acquired a personal knowledge of
| the working of the school and made the &C.
quaintance of its teacher.
One incident of the Republican torch
light parade last Monday evening afforded
great amusement TO the spectators. II seems
that Master Frankie Goodhue, being wide
| awake Republican, as nearly all bright boys
are, and ambitious of cutting fine figure in
the procession, had made elaborate prepare
tons to appear in Revolutionary attire astride
the staid old donkey that has been a familiar
| sight on our streets for several years past
Everything was in readiness, and all went
,ua1 he - -.
when the trouble began. The moment Mr.
Donkey fairly clapped eyes on the surround
ing multitude, he took in the situation in
| stantly and obstinately refused TO bulge an
| inch. Neither coaxing nor threats would
move him. IL aoGsnt his kind Ofd cro,od !
AS there were no Republican donkeys, Mas
ter frankie was compelled TO descend and
make his march on foot, much to his disgust.
Politically speaking, he has lost all confidence
in donkeys.
SHORT DIALOGUE.
(Time about three weeks before the election Scene
| Estey Co.'s factory.)
Wdt-''Tll tell you what I'll do, Clancy.
II Garfield carries New York, will march in
the Republican torchlight procession and car
ry-a torch, if you will agree TO march in the
Democratic procession if Hancock carries
New York"
Clancy. IN do it, and don't you forget
| it,"
The parties shake hands on this unqualified
agreement in the presence Of witnesses And
now the boys want TO know where W. II. @.
was last Monday night, Clancy says he has
gone TO the headwaters of Salt river. and
won't be back until Tilden is nominated in
1884.
