Edwin Chaffee is ahead on early
/ vegetables, this time, and can show
fine hard cabbages and turnips big

bered the News AND CITIZEN. Mr..
Chaffee will be around once a week

Road Master Severance, had a gang
of twenty or more men at work in the
railroad yard here on Sunday. The
switches were quite generally torn up,
which seemed to make it necessary to
do the work on that day. The result
of their work is the siding to the tan
merry and to the coal shed. and the
changed siding to the engine house.
The force of men at work on the
tannery site has been considerably
increased, and Mr.. Fitch, who will
have the erection of the building in
charge, began work Monday morning.
Mr.. Russell, of Burlington, came to
town Monday to build the large chin
ney, which will be about 70 feet high
and stand at the north side of the
main building and nearly directly at
the foot of Portland St.
Colonel .Sqford. hereafter. We
have seen the official document recog-
nizing " Major" Darius j. Stafford as
g Lieut. Colonel of the 1st Regiment
Vermont Heavy Artillery from and
after July 10th, 1865" We are
heartily glad to stand corrected after
so long a time as to titles IN this
case we hope the change will be
as easy for US to get the hang of as it
is welcome.
