A NUMBER of the friends of Rev. II. A.
Rogers from this and neighboring towns
heard him preach at the Baptist church last
Sunday morning. He gave a forcible and
inspiring sermon from Psalm lxiii /, .. He
has been greatly prospered in his work at
Worcester, Mass, and over a hundred have
united with his church. He has also had a
good mission work. A reception will be
held at the Baptist church this wednesday,
evening, that all may meet Mr.. and Mrs
Rogers. A musical and literary entertain
ment will be given. All are cordially in
vited to be present.
The experiment of reducing the hill in
the rear of the Golden Fleece, by the aid of
Berlin water, conducted by Mr.. ID. A.
Guptil at his own expense, proved entirely
satisfactory. 1t is estimated that in twenty
five hours about two thousand cubic yards
of solid clay were dissolved and washed
away. The benefits to be derived from
opening road through the hill at this
point from Main street to Hubbard street,
have already been shown in these columns,
and it has now been demonstrated that the
work can be done by water power at com
paratively little expense. Some action
should be taken by the town in this matter
at an early day.
In view of possible visitations of the
smallpox scourge, the authorities of st.
Albans and Burlington have ordered gen.
eral vaccination, and it may be well for
other places that are somewhat less ex-
posed to the danger to adopt the same pre-
caution. The railroads are taking every
possible precaution to prevent the spread of
the disease from Canada, but in order to
allay all fears which may be entertained on
this account it is thought probable that
passenger cars will be run only as far as the
towns bordering on Canada, at which points
there will be change of trains. 1t was
reported yesterday that an order to this
effect had been issued
SHORTLY after midnight Monday night
Ed. Preston, an empoye of Cotton 6, John
son, who lives with his father, Philip Pres
ton, near the " arch bridge" in Berlin, arose
in his sleep and going to the attic, or third
floor, of the house smashed out a window at
one end and jumped to the ground. In his
nocturnal attire he ran through the bridge
and down the track through the railroad
bridge to the Central station and then
through the bridge back to the Berlin side,
where he was stopped by Patrick Hassett.
He was very much frightened and had be-
come possessed of the idea that some one
was pursuing him. He was badly cut and
bruised about the head and shoulders.
WATCHMAN, Thomas H. Cave, so long an
employe of this office, has resigned his po.
sition, and opened a job printing establish
ment in Barre. Mr.. Cave commenced to learn
his trade at the Vermont Patriot Office in
Montpelier in 1852. Charles g. Eastman
was then its proprietor. After six years OF
service in that office Mr.. Cave began his
work for the WATCHMAN. Under Hon. T.
p. Walton, j. & j. NJ. Poland, Joseph Po
land and w. w. Prescott he has, with the
exception of about three years, remained il
this office until the present time, thus max
ing his actual time of service here somt
twenty-four years. For seventeen years he
has been foreman, and his long previous eX
perience and natural adaptability to the
business qualified him to fill that position
acceptably. The friends which he has mad,
here, while they regret that he has though
best to enter another field of labor, wisl
him abundant success in his new under
taking.
