We understand that +. l.. Hugill, one OF
our energetic young men, is soon to leave
us to represent the Palace Car Co. as con-
ductor on one of their magnificent new
cars between New York and Boston. Mr..
Hugill commenced as newsman and has
made a marvellous jump for one so young
in railroad service. 1t seems that the COM
pany has an eye out for some OF the YER
mont boys yet. Our best wishes go with
him.
A little son of Chas. Abbott OF Braintree,
about six years old, fell into the brook, on
his way to school few mornings ago. He
drifted into deep hole and was in a drown
ing condition, having sunk twice, when
lad named Perley Cleveland, 10 years OF
age, came along and at once grasping the
situation, with remarkable presence OF
mind for one so young seized a stout stick |
and reached it to the boy and drew him |
ashore, without doubt saving his life.
Three weeks fIom to-day is the glorious
Fourth. We shall probably celebrate as
hitherto with small bonfire and little !
noise on the night OF the Fourth and emp
ty streets the next day. This may be all
right once in five years, say, but after a s.
ries of such celebrations ii grows decided [
ly monotonous. Just for the sake of keep |
ing at home the 'boYs' and getting their !,
money, as they have little to spend on |.
that day, why not have a good, old fash
ioncdipatriotic celebration. The merchants
will reap bountifully, the oil Ter folks will
enjoy it, and it goes without saying that
the younger citizens" will be vide a.
wake.
