the third-on land In the rear Of his steam
mill. He has also completed another 20-foot
addition to his foundry now under the man
sgement Of Mr.. Stewart-for the purpose OF
adding an snnealing furnace for the produc.
lion OF mallesble iron. This furnace, j is ex.
pected, will constitute a very important fea-
lure Of the foundry, and supply facilities for
D class of work for which heretofore II has
been necessary to send TO Boston or some
other distant place.
Last Monday a man calling himself
George Brown and claiming TO belong in
Maine, arrived on the 8 o'clock train from
Springfield He walked up TO School street
and when opposite the old Methodist church
fell upon the sidewalk. He was picked up
and carried into the building and Doctor
called. He seemed to be suffering from some
nervous trouble, aggravated by malaria which
he contracted In Connecticut where be has |
been for some time past. As he had neither |
money nor friends he was taken to the town |
farm Tuesday. His age is 30 years.

bers was organized in town this week with

President, H. l.. Emerson.
Vice President, r. L, Shaw.
Secretary and treasurer, J. W. Drown.
Lieutenant, @. r. Crosby,
Color bearer, W. f. Gordon.
Club Committee-H. L. Emerson, J. W. Drown, s.
". Kirkland o. II. Leonard.
The club have bought the furniture, fix
lures, etc., OF the late Taurus club and will CO.
cupy the rooms lately vacated by that organ
ization. As yet no name has been decided
on. Alta meeting held last evening the old
("Brsttleboro 'Oycle'') club voted to disband
DIR. Hendrickson's course Of American
Illustrated lectures" was successfully opened
on Tuesday evening before an attentive and
appreciative audience. The views OF the
wonderland of the World"-the Yellowstone
National Park, including the boiling springs,
geysers, scenes on the beautiful and roman
tic Yellowstone lake and along Fire Hole riv-
or, were by far the finest ever given here Illus
trating q similar theme, reproducing the won
derful natural oolorings with beautiful effect.
The descriptions were spirited and instructive
and the whole entertainment was one Of real
pleasure and profit. The next lecture, on
Wednesday evening, 18th inst, will illustrate
the Golden Northwest" with the bonanza
farming methods as a special feature.
AT a meeting held this week the bailiHs
voted to put in at once two hydrants for fire
| purposes in connection with Mr.. Oroweps
water works. One Of them will be located
at the Brooks House corner and the other on
Elliot street at the foot OF Church street.
| The hydrants themselves will be paid for by
individuals, and the village will pay Mr..
| Crovell a water rental Of $50 for each OF

nection made with his reservoir for the bene-
at Of the hydrsnts before the winter closes
In. The failure of the force pump apparatus
at Barret's machine shop to be of further
reliable service renders the introduction of
the hydrants q practical necessity, while in
case OF fire their use for filling the reservoirs,
If for no other purpose, will be no less o
matter Of convenience than of economy.
The fair to be given at the town hall next
Wednesday evening by the Ladies' Relief
corps, in aid Of the soldiers monument fund,
deserves the cordial and generous support of
our people. A good supper will be served,
there will be q sale Of fancy articles, and the
evening will close with social dance. Mr..
Cooper will act as caterer on the occasion,
furnishing the main part Of the supper so
that there will be no solicitation for supplies
outside. The Arrangements for the hall also
are such that no one will be importuned fol
money, but in place Of the usual devices
box will be provided in which all may place
such sums as their means permit or their in
clination dictates. Several handsome suml
are promised. During the first years Of theii
work the ladies have secured 800 for the
monument fund. and now have it on deposit
"a handsome beginning certainly, and one
which entities them TO liberal support in thei
further efforts.
The sermon which Rev. Mr.. Cuckson o.
Springfield, Mass, preached in the Unitarian
church on Tuesday evening was from thu
familiar text in Matthews gospel, THE liRh
Of the body Is the eye," etc. These words
the speaker said, spoken with the clear in
sight which mark every utterance OF Jesus
are meant to illustrate the truth that tn
thing seen depends on him who sees and no
on the thing ITSELF and that the light is al
ways adapted to the eye of the beholdeT
This central thought of the discourse was il
Illustrated in numerous ways from the natura
world, as in the different thoughts or emotion
which the sight OF the ocean or OF a mighty
river suggests to the poet, the merchant, o
: the man Of spiritual insight. So with tn
inner life OF man, one may allow every hig
emotion to be deadened, and his soul to be
come sordid and callous, seeing no good il
8 life or in his fellow men, while another, fol
1 getting not the evil that Is In the world, keep
the inward eye open TO what is true and pure
: and looks beyond the evil TO the good tbs
