HYDE PARK,


G. l.. Waterman, Esq, has grown
very feeble the past few days. Never
theless, he has a good appetite and his
mind is very clear regarding past
events.
The B. & L. Road has issued for
its Vermont division a new and elabo-
rate set of rules which every employee
on the road must follow. Carefully
observed they would seem to make
accidents among the impossibilities.
1t was a nine pound boy that was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Will Campbell,
Sunday, Jan. 31st, and, like all new
born boys, he was smart as steel
trap and commenced his song of de-
light on coming into the light with a
vigor that made all smile.
The B. & L. R. R. will run special
trains to Burlington during the Car
nival next week, Feb. 16, II, and
IS, leaving Hyde Park at 9.06 a. M,
returning leave Burlington at AS p.
M, reaching here about 7.30. Tick
cts will be good until Feb. 10. Round
trip fare from Hyde Park S1.4O.
While shooting one of H. G.. Lam
piers colts Monday afternoon, Pres
ton DEMO was accidentally hit by it
the toe-calk striking him terrible
blow on the back of the head, severing
an artery. Drs. Petty and Randall
dressed the wound, and notwithstand-
ing its severe nature, Preston is about
the shop as usual.
The Burlington and Lamoille Rail-
road has issued special timetable for
use during the Carnival at Burlington.
In addition to the timetable and eX-
cursion rates over its road, it contains
the official programme of the sports
for each day. 1t is very handsomely
gotten up and besides being very
handy to use during the Carnival it is
handsome souvenir.
Thursday and Friday of last week
were the coolest days of the season.
On Thursday the day opened with the
thermometer about 5 Q below zero and
it averaged Is Q below all day. Friday
at Z a. m. it was 25o below, and
it continued at least 15o below all
day. Saturday and Sunday were
somewhat warmer, and the past three
days found the mercury well up into
the fifties.
A. D. Robbins, the stage-driver, is
to return to Eden Mills and resume
the hotel business. He has engaged
VIM. Walker to drive the stage for
him. Mr.. Robbins has made many
friends during the time he has been on
the stage route he has paid strict
attention to business and been ac-
commodating to all. We have reason
to believe his hotel will be conducted
in an orderly manner.
