standard was adopted by the Concord rail
road and its branches thus giving uni
form time for the Boston and Montreal
system. The larger towns on the Central
Vermont lines have generally adopted tho
new standard a. their time-tho shops and
factories in some cases beginning work at
quarter before in the morning and closing
at quarter before 6 at night. The change
does not affect stations below Windsor or
Bellows Falls as yet, but there is prospect
that all the roads cast Of Buffalo may adopt
auniform standard Of time at an early day.
A communication printed this week over
the signature Of "Justice," gives an intima-
ton which very many people in this vicinity
will be glad TO see. For some time past ru-
mors, apparently well founded, have been
current to the effect that s. NJ Waite was be.
ing allowed very extraordinary degree OF
freedom both inside and outside the House OF
Correction He has been seen in the Rutland
railroad station apparently entirely unattend-
ed, and unless general report Is altogether
wrong il has been the custom OF the jail su-
perntendent to take him out riding, and to
show him other favors which the law forbids.
An intimation of these things came to Judge
Wheoer's ears, and at his late session Of court
in Rutland he not only spoke publicly of the
matter, as mentioned by our correspondent,
but he sent for Superintendent Eayres to meet
him in his room at the court house and there
called his attention to the law and admonish-
ed him that, passing over anything that might
have occurred in the past If any further
breach of the statute as regards Mr.. Wate's
treatment came to the knowledge OF the court
in future it would be sufficient cause for in
structing the District Attorney to proceed
against him (Eayres) at once by information
for voluntarily" allowing his prisoner to es.
cape. The penalty for this oiense is stated
in the statute provision quoted by Justice. ."
This action of Judge Wheeler is an eminently
proper one, and will give him the increased
respect and confidence of everybody in
Windham county.
