Mrs. J. H. Brown has had quite
a severe attack of rheumatic fever,
but is better now.
There is much dissatisfaction here
on accout of the county buildings be-
ing located at Newport.
On Friday night Canadian, name
but who was travelling from
Montreal to New York, in some I'M
known manner fell from the train
near Coventry station, and remained
in the snow all night, thermometer
being more than twenty degrees be-
low zero. He was found early Sat-
urday morning by the freight train
men, his hands and feet badly frozen,
and brought to Barton Landing,
where he was cared for by Mr.. Hill
dreth's family. Medical aid was
summoned, and the most possible
done to alleviate his sufferings. He
is alive this morning with prospects
of recovery though partially derang-
ed. From conductor Will Berry we
learn that when he was taking up his
tickets after leaving Newport on the
II o'clock train, he found this man
in the smoking car and asked him for
his ticket. The man had strange
appearance, which he thought to be
caused by his inability to speak the
English language; after parleying
with him a minute, he concluded to
go along through the cars, returning
when he had taken and punched the
other tickets. At Barton Landing
stop was made, and soon af-
ter the conductor went back to find
his Frenchman, when he could not
be found. Enquiry was made and
some one stated that they saw him
90 out before the train reached the
Landing, when it was supposed that
he stepped off at that point. 1t seems
that he must have been deranged OF
under the influence of liquor. No blame
should be attached to the conductor
BroVvnington.
