There was a pleasant surprise and
housewarming party at Frank Burdick's
on Thursday evening last, when quite
large number met to pay respects to Mr..
and Mrs. B. and to congratulate them on
the pleasantness OF their new home which
has been specially prepared for them in
| the Tower block. nice dinner set, Il
| anu OOICI dAblS1Co "CIC plCoChICo,
and the evening was very pleasantly spent.
Some days since fire was discovered in
| c. F. Percival's excelsior mill when the
men returned from dinner, which in few
minutes more would have proved serious.
| 1t seems that in some way the fine wood
dust from the excelsior machines ignited
about them and the fire smoldered there
until it broke out in Il blaze. The machine
was considerably damaged. Had the fire
occurred in the night the damage would
have been greater.
| We are pleased to learn that Rev. S. S.
Brigham, formerly of this place, has late
| ly received a pension. He was one of
the best soldiers that served in the Old
Brigade. He escaped wounds in nearly
thirty battles and several skirmishes, but
like all longtime service soldiers, came
out of the army in impaired health. Too
proud TO ask more than an honored name
for service we'll done, he did not make an
application for u pension until it seem
ed that without some outside aid, he
would have little property, should he live
to the allotted age of man.

A railroad accident occurred just south
of this village Saturday night, by which
brakeman had his leg broken and several
freight cars were injured by the breaking
of drawbars and otherwise. While
a long freight train was coming down the
grade from So. Barton the train broke in
two and the forward part ran away from
the cars behind some distance, the hind car
meanwhile gaining speed. As the engineer
approached the switches south of the de-
pothe slowedups not knowing that his train
was broken apart. The rear cars came
on with great speed and struck the main
train with such force as to do the damage
mentioned. The brakeman was thrown
on the car and barely escaped being thrown
off the end between the cars to the track.
wrecking train was sent from Lyndon
vile and the delayed trains-some four
or five-got off in the course of three
hours.
