Signals at Railway Crossings.

Mr.. Editor WIN you be kind enough to call
attention In your next issue to the gross careless
ness shown by the managers Of tho Wells River
railroad In neglecting either TO place gate or
station ilagman at the crossing at the entrance
10 the arch bridge between Montpelier and Berlin.
On Tuesday Of last week three ladies approached
this crossing in buggy about ifty-five minutes
past three p. NJ They listened for the bell, but
none rang and no one warned them Of any danger,
though three men were seated on the platform in
full sight Of the engine, which was hidden from
the ladies by the intervening building. When
within few feet OF the track the engine suddenly
started and the terrified horse jumped, and had
not the ladies succeeded in turning him immedi-
atey, there would certainly have been serious
accident, for which the managers Of the road
would have been entirely responsible. We enter
our most earnest protest against this total disre-
gard Of the value Of human lfe and hope the
evil will be promptly remedied before public at
tention Is called TO 1t by serious loss Of life.

WILLIAMsrowN.-Since you last heard from

eight years, died of pneumonia August LIST. He
had been increasing in feebleness for some time,
but was confined only few days. He was buried

arrived on the evening of the day after the
funeral, not having heard of his death, though
they had been informed of his illness. The
youngest child Of Mr.. John Wright a beautiful
boy Of two years. died Of cholera infantum Mon
day afternoon, the 10th, having been sick less
than two days, and on the 18th, Miss Laura May
Hersey. aged eighteen, died of typhoid fever
after brief illness. This makes eight deaths in
as many weeks and yet there is no prevailing dis
ease. Judge Young of Minneapolis is in town
having come on to join his wife and daughter

Hattie Sprague, are planning to 60 in company

HEALTH AND HAPPISEss.-It seems strange
that anyone will suffer from the many derange-
ments brought on by an impure condition Of the
blood, when SCOvILLS BLOOD AND LIVER
SYRUP will restore perfect health to the physical
organization. 1t is indeed strengthening syrup,
pleasant to take and has proven itself to be the
best blood purifier ever discovered, effectually
curing scrofula, syphitic disorders, weakness Of
the kidneys, all nervous disorders and debility
1t corrects indigestion. 1t makes the old feel
young, and the young feel gay; and will inva-
riably drive out Of the system the many ills that
human flesh is heir to. A single bottle will prove
to you its merits as health renewer, for it acts
like a CHARM especially when the complaint is Of
an exhaustive nature, having tendency to lessen
the natural vigor Of the brain and nervous system

Hurrah for the Circus.

On Friday next, the 26th day OF August, Coup's
New United Monster Shows, being the actual con-
soldation with his own Of ten other well known
shows will exhibit in Montpelier, giving two per-
formauces, afternoon and evening. We have Of
ten read Of big shows and monster combinations,
but in order to get an adequate idea OF what is
actually In store for our amusement-loving read
ers, we ask them to contemplate the following
Besides his own monster enterprise, three times
larger than last year, Mr.. Coup has also combined
with 1t Farini's Great Paris Hippodrome with a
tent so large that 1t requires two hundred men
with horse power to raise II, having a race track
forty feet wide and nearly half n mile round. the
distance in the vast auditorium being so great that
he uses four circus and hippodrome rings and en-
ploys four full circus and hippodrome companies.
lie has also added Mddeton's Grand Menagerie,
with nearly thousand animals; Professor luke
Automatic Museum OF mechanicoautomatc won
ders, requiring ten powerful steam engines to OPP
crate them Melville's Great Circus, Hagers Pal
ace Of Curiosities, Nathans Great Double Circus,
Professor Fryer's Pony Circus, Okenawaka's In
dian Show OF a tribe of aboriginal braves, King
Cetawayos daughter, the Princess AmaEula and
suite, genuine group Of male and female Zulus,
and feats Of the Oriental Curriculum. Mr.. Coup
has secured Lulu, the reigning sensation Of all
Europe, and who is admitted to have performed
the most soul-harrowing and blood-curdling act:
ever attempted by man. This god Of the air &C
tually flies with the velocity Of bird across the
vast hippodrome tent, in the presence Of spell
bound audience. The great street procession Of
golden chariots and animal dens contains nine
kinds Of music four musical chariots, each played
by powerful steam engines, equal to thousand
frst-class musicians; one hundred performers IL
the three crcusses and two hundred male and fe
male riders and characters in the great Parii
Ippodrome. The show is preceded by three pal
ace advertising cars, a hundred agents and adver
tisers, and transported by nearly one hundred
railroad cars, all Of which are owned exclusivel,
by the proprietor As there has never been any
thing before even approaching the magnitude o
this we predict a general holiday and CRANE
ovation on the day Of exhibition.

from the early historical records Of that interest
ing race, and the early Spanish colony which
supplanted the native races soon after the Span

of the late Hon. Thomas Geed, prominent and
