M. r. Hubbell of Wolcott, the in
ventor of the Hubbell pillow, has been
at work some time at the Murkland
machine shop, building a self-coup-
ling draw bar for railroad freight
cars which, where it has been tried,
proves perfect success. Some of
them have been used on the st. j. &
L. c. r. r. for several months, and
have demonstrated the fact that the
problem of a self-coupling shackle
for freight cars has been solved. The
invention will prove great boom to
the world, as the loss of life from
coupling cars is frightful.
In a recent newspaper Annual we find
the Orleans county Monitor reported as

This reminds us of a letter we once
received from lady correspondent,

again.
The Barton Monitor says that CDR.
Barnes, late of New York city," ''has
made number of remarkable cures at
Montpelier" Will the Monitor be so
good as to specify those ''cures"? People
hereabouts are not posted as to who and
what, but would like to be. viii the
Monitor name the persons cured?-Mont-
pelier argus.
x If the MONITOR is in error, we are
pleased to be corrected, as we do not
like to "chate or be chated'' as the
Irishman said. Having shown the
Argus item to Mr.. Barnes, he hands
us the following names of persons in
Montpelier, who have been success
fully treated by him: Mrs. Jesse
Barnes, Mrs. Mary Abbott, S. S.
Durant and P. Flood; in East Mont
pelier, Mrs. Charles Gray in Cabot,
c. Fisher, in Barre, son of John
Trow, Miss Ida Batchelder, Mrs.
Hoyt, Mrs. Bassett. If these refer
ences are fraudulent. will the argus
notify us!
