KILLED BY THE CARS.
W. Y. T,"ia GorAam 10 untainssr.


Have you heard the last sad story-how a
brakeman on the train,
Lost his life the other morning-in a cold and
ICY rain;
lie was full of life and gladness-when he left
the family hearth,
Little thought it was the last day-last to him
upon this earth,
For he knew that duty called him-'mid the
snow and icy faxes,
lie went forth to do his duty-went lie forth
TO man his brakes;
Merry Chri5tmasl" was his greeting-as he
met friends on his way
To the train that early morning-"Merry
Christmas" answered they.
The train is at the station-the fireman rings
the bell,
1t SCUM ded strange this morning-like sol
emn, deathly knell,.
But the brakeman took his station-"All
Aboardl" rings out clear
From the throat of the conductor-''All aboard
the brakeman's hercr'
Then the heavy train was started-o'er tEcicy
shining track,
Rounding curves and steaming forward
swaying this way, swaying back
IIark there comes brakcman's signal-and
he hastens to the call,
Gfasps brake and sets it firmly-then pro
cceds to set them all.
When brakeman is on duty-on the top of {
long train
Bundled up with extra clothing-to protec
him from the rain,
Feet benumbed with icy chilness- Walking
DER cars, to and fro;
Did you ever notice how they-very careless
~ do go?
So it is in all life's journey-in the battle, il
the strife
To obtain wealth and posiuon-a false stoi
may cost Il life
Every day we see recorded--how a brakeman
"slIpped and FELL"
''Down beneath the cars" run over"-who'
the next one-none can tell.
'The train is crowding on us strong, sal,
the engineer bold,
| II wonder what is the mattcrY-the brake
! don't seem to hold"
| lie grasped the whistles throttle-and pulle
it--thrcc times three,
But the train came plunging onward-th
brakeman, where was lie!

A case of soMnambulism occurred at
the Stewart House last Tuesday night,
one of the guests, q runner, awaking
shortly after midnight to find himself
promenading one of the large piazzas
of the hotel in his sleeping apparel,
and the thermometer between five and
ten below zero. He was unable to
state how long he had INDUCED in his

CRANKY.

oh<tSNDls
The railroad has reached CRANKY at
last. Mr.. Galup's contract was to
complete the road to G. H. Stevens
mill Dec. 81, and at night of the Goth
he had but two hours work to finish
laying the rails. The sleepers are not
such as used to be cut and drawn from
here to Guildhall Falls at % cts each.
OF these one-half would be inspected
out, a part of them realizing but ~ 1-2
cents each and the remainder perhaps
only cents each. OF the former,
we notice in riding alongside the track,
that many have only two and three
inch face.

skidding timber for Frank Hall, had
his leg and ankle badly jammed and
sprained two weeks ago by log roll.
ing on to it, He, however, keeps busy
doing something the most of the time
and many are of the opinion he will
yet be laid up all summer with it, and
perhaps lose his foot, because he does
not now keep still.
LOOMS Wells has sold his saw mill
to one Bowles, from Colebrook, N. H.,
and he in turn, we understand, has
bargained some share of it to Warren
Dunn.
There has been, and is, an unusual
amount of sickness around town, at
times requiring the services of four and
sometimes five doctors.
Business is brisk down at Moose Riv
err Vile. Already it has two stores
and, we hear it said, two blacksmith
shops. The store business operates
favorably to purchasers, as granulated
sugar has been reduced from 10 to s
cents per h., Goldfish sells at . cts pei

from zoe to 14o per gal, with promise

Fall is lingering in the lap of winter.
Albert Darling has moved into the
house lately occupied by j. S. Chase.
Farmers in this vicinity are CON-
planning of hard times, and, on reflec-
ton, we do not wonder at it. The fact
is we buy many things we do not need
and many articles that are necessary
we send abroad for, instead of raising
or manufacturing them at home as we
might do. We are pretty sure of a
good crop of wheat if sown early, on
we'll prepared soil, yet the largest part
of the flour we consume is brought
from the west. We can raise beans as
well here as anywhere, as the bean
crop requires but about twelve weeks
to grow and mature, and is not har-
vested by machinery, yet, notwith-
standing this, beans are brought here
from Portland and Boston in consider
able quantities. Our summers are
rather too cool and short for corn, but
on the Connecticut river meadows,
and on sandy soil it is a pretty sure
crop; and farmers who cannot raise
corn, can raise peas, barley, oats, or
buckwheat, instead of sending west as
they do for carloads of corn. And il
is about the same with our manufac.
lures. Our wool is sent to market and
sold at low figures, while we buy cloth
or ready made clothing at high price
This part of the county is well adapt.
ed for dairy purposes, but instead Of
making our own cheese, it is brought
to us from some far away cheese fac
tory, and we pay II cents per pound
for it, and sell our butter for abou
the same figure, for we do manage tc
make little butter to sell. We have
largely depended on our potato crop
but for the past two years potatoes
have sold at low figures, which is ont
cause OF hard times for us. We mus
now depend on cattle, sheep, horses
and butter for our income, but we
have the west to contend with on thi
line, and may be driven out of the
market. But, Notwithstanding al
this if we try to raise all we consume
so far as we can, and dispense witt
rum and tobacco, we shall have NJ
occasion, we believe, to complain c
hard times. STYLUS.

A few evenings since, married man
(not resident of this town, but we'll
known here) met on our streets a do
nestle, and presuming on q slight &C
quaintance, escorted her home, irnpor-
tuning her to return and take a walk
with him. He evidently labored I'M
der the impression that his request had
been favorauly entertained, and await
ed her returning. That he was some

Two daughters of Mrs. james Morse,
who has been i'll of late, have been
visiting her the past week.
We uOtice the familiar face Of Miss
Nellie Anes, of Lancaster, again in our
midst.
Mr.. james Powers is still very low
at his daughters residence in White

of his recovery.
Mr.. RoIla Chandler is quite i'll at the

One morning last week as Mr.. Vance
was going down the Wright" hill on
his way to So. Lancaster, two female
passengers being with him. his har-
ness gave way the road was very
slippery, and he being unable to con-
troll his horse, q rapid descent of the
hill was made. Things were beginning
to look dubious, when there appeared

alizing sense of the nee essity of care,
he drove his horse direct into the bush
The horse stopped, and lay down to
rest awhile, and Vance found himself a
convenient blocking to one of the
wheels. The wagon showed a demand
for call upon Balch, and all that re.
manned apparently intact were the
two women still upon the seat. Vance
noticed that they had strangely I'M
settled expression of countenance.
Suffice it to say no one was much
hurt. We recollect of reading some
where, in either ancient or profane
literature, an account of some one
else who found relief from a strange
predicament in a bush. At least, Mar

gratitude, Woodman, spare that

We have to chronicle this week the
death of one whose face has been "a

A large congregation of his fellow
