clinging to it, II was only about rs

town, now with the Rodney Hunt Ma
chine Co. of Orange, Mass, is putting
in for Cole & Goif, Putney, VT, an
overshot wheel 80 feet in diameter

We notice that business is brisk down
at the carriage shop. Mr.. StOnge is a
good workman, and will not allow
poor job to go out of his shop. lie also
keeps bent stock on hand, which may
be convenient for neighboring work
men who have no facilities for bend
ing.
We beg to call the attention of our
readers who visit Brattleboro, or who
may desire anything in the furniture
line, to the advertisement of Retting
Bros, Brattleboro. Messrs. Retting
keep large line of furniture, carpets,
baby carriages, &C., &C., and are square
dealing business men. You will
find them just around the Brooks House
corner, on High ST., first block.

tie gun, 1t was loaded at St. Adams.
He thought he would shoot Sammy

the people they did blow, how are you

said enough, the people we can't bluff;
so let them be free to vote. for our dar-

DR.. d. II. Marden and S. d. Curtis
are to be numbered with those who de-
fly public sentiment in this village by
fixing up their premises. Sam has re-
painted house and barn in handsome
style, and the Dr., already newly paint
ed, has torn down the unsightly fence
around his yard, and is going to build
a pizaro in front. Too tony, Dr.. ;
twill never do.

Martin may be helped into one of the
chairs of the State senate but he will
lack considerable of filling it. James
is a good looking fellow and possesses {
a fine voice, but he is far from being
large man. AS for George Washing

can get. If he cannot be president he
will be lister, if there is a vacancy"
