THE OFFICE REMOVED.
Z. n. Dunbar, formerly of st. Johns
bury, Inspector of customs at Island
Pond is out of Job. He was not re-
moved but the office was. Retrench-
ment is the battle cry and this office
with several others in the state have
been abolished, cutting down the force
by nearly or quite a dozen. Some
naughty fellow says it is merely a
dodge to get rid of some of those pesky
partisans; and that quite likely in Il
few months it Will be ascertained that
such retrenchment was "tOO previous"
and the offices will he re-established
and partisan democrats fill them.

A FEAT OF RAILROADING.
Engineer Mark Rice, with the engine
''E. @. Lucas" pulled - cars of beef
and hogs from ROxbury to White
River Junction, AZ miles, met and
passed three trains without stop.
The wheels did not stop rolling from
til he arrived at White River Junction
time two and one half hours. To the
uninterested this may look to be
simple announcements, yet comparing
this record with railroading ten years
ago, when it would have taken two of
the best and heaviest locomotives on
the road to have moved this train,
while to-day this one powerful cOaler
does the work without having to stop
for any supplies, shows the remarkable
progress the Central Vermont railroad
has made under the present manage
ment.-[ st. Adams Messenger.
