Isn't it about time for the Passump-
sic R. r. folks to build suitable depots
at this place and Barton Landing. to
accommodate the business of these
places The road is in a prosperous
condition and there is certainly no rea-
son why the old depots, built twenty
years ago, should not be replaced by
clean, capacious, convenient buildings,
that will do credit to the road and be
acceptable to the public.
A telephone company has been formed
here and Bell telephone placed between
the depot and post-office. The work Of
the machine is entirely satisfactory, and
conversation can be carried on almost as
readily as between two persons in the
same room. Messages are sent for five
cents. This will be great convenience
to business men and others in the place
and it ought to receive sufficient patron
age to pay running expenses.

Those who so suddenly rallied at the
fire whistle on Thursday evening we're
somewhat disappointed at finding no
fire, but they saw that the fire engine
was ready for business and playing
powerful stream IN eight minutes from
the sound of the whistle. The object
in making the alarm was to see how
quick the engine could be got in opera
ton after an alarm. Hereafter when
the whistle blows a fire alarm, it will
mean serious business, and that only.

THE CRITIC of yesterday was issued in
the continuous publication during twelve
hours from 10o'clock in the morn
ing until 10 at night. The total number Of
all editions was about twenty-five thou
sand and there seemed to be no limit to the
demand There was no subject of thought
or comment that could gain the slightest
public attention, except the events at and
about the White House, and this feeling
was so intense that the whole community
might be compared to one family watching
at the bedside of dying relative.
Hope ever and anon flickered fecbly in
breasts more sanguine than the average
but the prevalent feeling was one of quiet
resignation to the inevitable which could
not but be deemed near. The news this
morning served only to confirm this sad
impression. The hope that the President
might seize the one chance in n mil
lion and rally, gradually gave place
to the more melancholy wish that his dis
solution might be painless and his con-
seriousness maintained to the end. Beyond
this the public thought and talked of moth
ing. The news rs the day advanced af-
forded no relief to the public mind. The
only word that came from the sick-room
was slowly sinking" and the only
margin left on which to hang an
inquiry was whether he would
live through the day. This state OF
things may last for twenty-four or even
forty.eight hours yet, but that will be all;
unless, indeed, there should be advent of a
change beyond the skill of medicine to
prognosticate, or the power of human
science to produce.
