CURIOUS THINGS FROM OREGON.

F. G. Strobridge of West Barnet,
who has been i'll Oregon the past
three years, brought home some very
interesting mineral specimens which
he procured while building railroads
there The stones referred to have
trees, shrubs and landscapes upon
their faces which make them of much
interest when it is known that they
were quarried twenty or thirty feet
below the surface of the ground. How
came those pictures there? Call at
Rowell's bookstore and see them and

The concert in Music hall Friday
evening by the Ladies Schubert quar-
tette of Boston and Miss Jessie Ed
ridge, reader, was enjoyed by an ap-
preciative if not large audience The
voices of the quartette were in perfect
harmony and the solos by Miss
Nichols and the second alto were
heartily encored. Miss Eldridge full
filled the expectations of the audience
and is a remarkably talented elocu-
ZIONIST, whether Judged by the thrill
ing rendering of THE chariot race
or the artistic finish with which &c
nevre" was given. The entertain
ment, which was benefit concert
for the Academy ball nine, netted the
boys about $50.

JUDGE ROSS ON COURT EXPENSES.

JUDGE ROSS ON COURT EXPENSES.
Upon the opening of the Rutland
county court last week Judge Ross,
the presiding justice, took occasion
to call the attention of the bar, offici-
ais, parties and witnesses, to the ex-
pense of maintaining the court, and
cited as an example the cost of one
days session, which would average
about 800 in jury trials. To save
as much as possible to taxpayers, he
requested that cases be presented for
trial without delay, and that first
day assignments be prepared to be
called up Judge Ross explained at
some length the duties of the LAWYERS
in this respect and the suggestions
are timely and ought to be carried
out even to the extent of some legis-
lative action if necessary The de-
lays of the law are proverbial and
often entirely unnecessary.

TWO RAILROA ACCIDENTS.

The through freight train going
east on the Lake road last Thursday
morning with 10 heavily laden cars
was derailed near Jones bridge about
half way between MOrrisville and
Wolcott. Sixteen cars were thrown
off the track and four of them went
bottom up into the Lamoille river.
Fortunately no one was very serious
ly injured, beyond a shaking up
Some of the cars were loaded with
grain, but most of the merchandise
was recovered. Only one car was
badly damaged and the loss to the
road will not exceed $500. 1t is not
known whether the accident was
caused by a spreading of the rails or
by some defect in the rolling stock.
A through freight going south on
the Passumpsic road ran into the
rear of an extra freight at Passump-
sic on Friday morning and the en-
gine of the through freight and eight
cars were badly smashed. The en-
gineer and fireman jumped and no
one was injured.
The extra had just arrived at Pas
sunpsic station and being too long
for the siding about dozen cars
were standing on the main track A
brakeman was sent up the track but
he neglected to take a flag, and the
engineer not knowing that there was
an extra on the road slowed up but
did not stop his train. When he saw
the cars on the track both he and the
fireman jumped from the cab. Four
empty cars on the extra were lifted
to the western side of the track and
turned completely over. Four cars
on the other train were derailed on
the other side of the track but the
cars were not badly damaged and
their contents were saved. The en-
gine E. Cleveland" was pretty we'll
stove up. The track was not cleared
until late in the afternoon and the
''air line trains went around by
SCOTS.
