/ James +. Bessom, the champion
backward walker of the world, de
feated Henry Ingram, q local tramp,
at Bellows Falls, recently, in a l 5-0
mile race. Both started together, and
Ingram was to reach the goal 10 min
utes first, which he failed to do by s
minutes and Sc seconds. The stakes
were $50 and the race drew a good
crowd.
The case of the discharged patient,
who rewarded the Mary Fletcher Hos
pital for its care of him by burning up
$4,000 or $4,000 of its property, is not
the only, though perhaps the worst Of
its kind, in the history of the hOspi-
tai. In one case a discharged patient,
on leaving, stole all of the money of
the person who had the care of him,
and who had been especially kind to
him.
The directors of the Connecticut
and Passumpsic railroad took out a
writ of seizure before judgment at
Montreal recently against the South
eastern railroad company and Brad
lev Barlow for $50, 900. The direc-
tors of the Canadian Pacific road have
foreclosed their mortgage for 81 ,3OO,-
600 against the Southeastern, which
virtually makes them masters Of the
situation.
A new locomotive has just been
put or the Central, which is the best
and handsOmest passenger engine on
the road. 1t is named the "Govern-
or Smith," and has Il steel boiler, with
6S inch drivers seventeen and one
half by twenty-four.
We are requested to say that those
attending the Spiritualist convention
at Montpelier September p, p and
% will receive return checks over the
St. Johnsbury and Lake Cham
plain and Wells River railroads. The
b. & L. will not issue return checks.
1t is estimated that it takes four
times as much power to move freight
over the mountains of this State as it
does to transport it over ordinary
grades.
II. j. Hatton, former Superintend
ent of Fitton's Cambridgcport mill,
was found in the canal at Bellows
Falls at half past ten o'clock Thurs
day night, in an exhausted condition,
having passed through the flood gate
and under one wheel. He caught in
an iron. cross rod, hanging there till
his cries were heard by the mill hands.
He saws he was thrown into the canal
! .
by some persons, which, taken in con-
nectiOn with the recent burning Of
the mill, has suspicious look. He
had a fight with FittOn in saloon
Wednesday, giving Fitton 4 very bad
cut over one eye. Fitton has been in
that place most Of the week.
