THE bridge Of the Central Vermont railroad
| across Worcester branch has been wdened for a
double track and the rails have been laid. The
track has been moved considerably nearer the
Montpelier & Wells River railroad track, thus
bringing the crossing on Main street quite near
the Murray block. As this was done with the
consent Of the Wells River managers, 1t Is fair to
suppose that the two companies are coming to n
mutual understanding for the benefit OF their
patrons. Speed the day.
Miss ANNIE ALLER Of Clarencevile, P. O., a
niece Of Mr.. f. IL Aler OF this village, died OF
diphthera at her home last Friday at the age Of
fourteen years. For several months she had been
living at Mr.. Alters and attending the Union
school. She was tenderly loved by all her COM
panions and our people who had formed her ac-
quaintance. She started for home a week ago
Saturday stayed over Sunday in St. Adams, was
taken sick on Tuesday and died on Friday. Mr..
Aller went to Clarencevile to attend her funeral
Two combined excursion parties Zone the Ray
mond) about one hundred and twenty-five in all,
arrived here Friday night from Burlington Ito
which city they came by the steamer Vermont)
and left Saturday morning for the White Mount
aims The comfort of the party was considerably
enhanced by Clerk Camp OF the Pavilion meeting
them at Burlington and assigning them their
rooms and making other necessary arrangements
They were from Boston and various cities
Of the south and west 1t is needless to say that
they were entirely pleased with their entertain
ment.
THAT Montpelier is an asylum for the victims
of hay fever is demonstrated again by the expert
ence of |. II. Wiggin and wife, who came to the
Pavilion from Bethlehem, n H., great sufferers
from the malady, last week. They had been at
the former place. famed for its exemption from
the disease, and had tarried there for relief in
vain In less than two hours after their arrival
in Montpelier cure full and complete was expert
enced, and they are loud in their praises Of Mont
peier as the haven of sufferers from the great
summer terror. Similar instances have been re-
ported in former seasons, and this confirmation
of previous experiences should not pass unnoticed
by other sufferers.
NEARLY every anecdote about absence OF mind
has one of the Lords of creation as its hero
but now the ladies may take their innings. With
xphiph U N Htuh-
gate Springs was an estimable lady OF this viii
lage, who, feeling the pangs Of hunger, opened
her lunch basket spread her handkerchief in her
lap, and proceeded to enjoy slight rejection.
Her set Of false teeth not fitting very well. she
took them out and laid them upon the handker-
chief, which, after finishing her repast she shook
out of the car window to relieveit Of the crumbs.
OF course the teeth went with them and the
sound of the grinding was low" until their re-
covery. On reaching the next station she made
her loss known, and person who went back, for
a wonder, found them.
THE celebrated Huntington will case has finally
been settled, and the state OF Vermont receives
about 100000 Arunah Huntington, who died
in the city of Brantford, Ontario, January
| 10, 1871 by will left to the state Of Yer
mont his estate, valued at about $500, 600,
$4,000 OF which was in real estate. The
| will was contested. Vice.Chancellor Proudfoot
of the Brantford court OF chancery decided
that the will was valid as to the personal
property, but not as to the real estate. The
object Of the testator in devising the property to
the state was to provide school fund Since
the cause has been in the courts the property has
considerably increased, so that the amount the

For the benefit of the public who travel on the
highways of the state and also for the edifcaton
OF needless town officials we quote sections 3O69
and 300 of the revised laws Of the state: where
there are loose stones in the travelled portion OF a
highway the surveyor, or other person having
charge Of said road, shall canse the highway to
| be examined at least once II month"; while 1t IL
bare Of snow, and cause such loose stones to be
moved. Such surveyor other person who
after notice in writing signed by resident OF the
state to remove such stones does not within three
days remove the same shall forfeit $500 for each
days neglect thereafter, to be recovered in &C
ton OF debt on this statute by any person suing
therefor" Notice in accordance with the above
| sections of the law was served upon highway
surveyor in q neighboring town few days age
with good results.
THE provisions Of the recent bank act require
all banks whose charters are extended to hav'
their present circulation called in and destroyed
and new bills issued instead. 1t is said tina
Comptroller Knox has already decided upon tn
form and character of the new bills. The five
dollar notes are to have vignette OF the lat
President Garfield, executed in the engraver'
best style The scene on the back OF these note
representing the landing of Columbus, or, in fact
any of the pictures on the back of any OF the ma
tional bank notes, will not appear on the ne'
ones, but instead some finely shaped lathe work
and in the center the charter number OF each par
ticular bank. On the border OF the face OF tn
note instead Of a number or letters to designat
the denomination of the note there will be tn
charter number Of the bank 80 that II any part O
the note is torn or separated the smaller piece ca
be identified by the charter number.
THE work Of fitting up the first floor of tn
: Murray building for the waiting rooms and off

waiting rooms, which are exceptionally pleasant
will be finished in very tasty manner and heate

cupy the northwest corner will be very convt
nienty arranged, finished in black walnut an
heated like the rest of the rooms. A platfori
, eleven feet wide will be built on three sides
the building, reaching to the Central Vernon
track on one side, and their own main track will

more convenient arrangements will be made fo
the receipt and delivery of the same, When I'll

The last number of the Rutland Rerie,O col
tanned the following editorial paragraph;

cratic money, and when the mortgages upon cha
