The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1890-06-19

Last Monday Frank Center and a
man by the name of Currier, both
new corners to this place, were driv-
ing down Church street with single
horse attached to lumber wagon
with a light load of wood. When
opposite the lower corner of Horace
Walkers premises the horse began to
kick and plunge. Center attempted
to stop him by turning him across the
road which resulted in overturning
the wagon nearly opposite the town
clerks office. The horse became dis
engaged and made lively tracks
through the bridge and up Melendy
hill. Center and Currier crawled
out from underneath the load consid

ashes out towards the street. There

The Central Vermont railroad Of
fcials have finally decided to fill the
high trestle north of Newfane station
work having already been begun on
the same. 1t is thought that it will
require about three months to com
plete the job. Engineer Baldwin
has been transferred from the mail
train to the construction train and
has full charge OF all the men employ
ed thereon. 500 cars Of Dummers-
ton granite will be required to build
the culvert before the fill is made.
After that is done it will take two
months more to finish filling in the
trestle. Various other changes are
contemplated, one Of which is an iron
bridge to replace the wooden struc-
tureat West Dummerston. There
isalso some talk of removing the
narrow gague track in the yard at
Brattleboro to the main line, thus
doing away with one extra crossing.
The depot at that place is to be re-
painted inside and possibly other i'm
provements will be made in and a.
round the yard at that station. In
fact, the present indications are that
it will be pretty busy time on the
''guage" this summer. Engineer
Ross succeeds Mr.. Baldwin on the
mail train and James Grlmley takes
MIR, Ross's place on the mixed.

4 GLEEFUL

The curiosity of the legislative council
in the matter Of the lofty disdain with
which Secretary Medium has treated the
United States statutes is only natural and
pardonable u nder the circumstances. As
President Beck so clearly stated while the
council could not re- train the secretary
from a violation Of the statutes it could at
least bring the subject to the attention of
the secretary of the interior.
We are informed that the secretary
affects uproarious glet at this action of
the council. 1t is perhaps no more than
people should expect from a man Of the
mercurial temperament and song and dance
: proclivities OF MIR. Medium. He was
equally gleetul when be held public Office
almost continuously during his years
of residence in Laramie. When he sold
out his property and gathered up every
dollar of the money which came from
prolonged oficehoIding and left for Cali
fornia to take up his permanent resi-
dence there he was still ~gleeful. When
the Republican national convention
adopted the plank pledgIng home
rule in the territories his face was covered
by the self same grin. When 1t leaked
out that DELEGATE Carey intended to i'm
port him from California and start him in
his usual business of oficeholding a roar
went up from Albany county and a dis
tinct promise was given that Meldrum's
appointment was not to be charged
up to Albany nor initiate against
the proportion it was entitled to n par
ceiling out the Offices among the sections
OF the territory. Medium still grinned
and he wore the same grin when he
stepped into the official shoes of Secre
tary Shannon. They say he grlns to-da,
as be cuts lead pencils in two to dole
them out among the legislators, or denies
with gleeful promptness the timld appll.
cations OF these same gentlemen for waste
paper baskets.
1t is possible that the secretary's grin
may be sicklied Ger with the pale cast OF
thought before the legislature adiourns.

Are You Interested

Perhaps the readers of The LEADER
Iould like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not effec
tually cure the cold in two days time and
it is the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, OPEN
ing the secretions, liqueiying the mucus
and causing it's expulsion from the air
cells of the lungs and restoring the sys-
tenn to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold as quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. SO cent
