SAVED A IOLI.I>lON.

A Derby Gentleman Removes II Rock
From the Naugatuck Road.
Thoughtfulness of resident of Derby
probably prevented an accident on the
Naugatuck road, Wednesday. As the
gentleman was sitting i'll his room read
ing he heard loud, rumbling noise at
the rear of his yard, and looking out of
his window saw n large rock rolling
down the steep bank upon the track.
1t stopped directly on the rail. Looking
at his watch the gentleman saw it WAS
nearly time for down freight. Hastily
seizing an iron bar he hurried to the
track and succeeded in removing the
obstacle few minutes before the train
came by. The road Just above this
place comes around sharp curve and
the stone could not have been seen by
the engineer in time to have prevented Il
disastrous collision. The readiness and
presence of mind of the gentleman saved
much damage and probably life, as the
trains here attain their high hest speed
and would have struck the object with
fearful momentum.

TAN ASSESSMENTS.
Claims Made by the Bristol $"ti"na
Bnnk.

Bank.
1t is learned that an interesting queS-
ton of tax assessments is pending before
Bristol board of relief. The Bristol ma
ional bank stock has alway been assessed
mt par, although the stock has II mar
ket value of about 40. This year the as
SCISSORS overruled the cashiers usual
statement of value and assessed the
stock at 10. The cashier appealed to
the board of relief, in behalf of all the
stockholders, for reduction. At the
last meeting protest: signed 10y the
assessors and concurrcd in by the select
men against the reduction, was handed
to the board. This compares the ASSESS
ment of the Bistol stock with other
bank stock, and claims that it is now
assessed lower than other banks. 1t
also shows that there has been general
increase in local assessments of value of
"a per cent in two years, i'll which in
crease the bank ought to share; and
calls attention to the fact that two NOM
bers of the board are stockholders and
one an officer of the bank. No decision
has yet been made public.

The VT. Baptist Central Association held
its annual meeting With the Baptist chUrch
OF this place this week Tuesday and Wed
nes6ay There was the usual attendance
and the spirit OF all the sessions was good.
E. o. Hubbard was chosen Moderator and
c. f. Jones of Sharon, Clerk. The annual
sermon was preached by Rev. j. 5. Good
all. His subject was, 'sChrist pre-eminen;
in the hearts of the redeemed in Heaven.
Text, Rev. 5; g: 10. II is an endeared and
inspiring theme to the hearts OF believers
here. The reports from the churches were
greatly encouraging. The interests OF the
State Convention were represented by It's
able missionary, Rev. A. McGeorge. Rev.
G. S. Raymond of Montpelier preached in
the evening most excellent sermon. The
reports of the several committees were
both interesting and instructive. The AS
sociation meets next year with the churcn
in Sharon.
The Graded school opened last week on
Monday with only one change in teachers
and with very large attendance in all the
departments, particularly in the High
School, which now numbers just about an
even one hundred pupils. Some OF the
classes in that school are so large II has
become necessary to divide them and Mrs.
Emma Peters has been engaged to assist
Prof. Whitehill and Miss Smith in the ad-
ditional Rotations. Fortunately this
growth OF the school was anticipated in
the addition made to the school building
two years ago and the room formerly used
for Rotations will be used for that pur-
pose again. This half day assistance BY
Mrs. Peters will also give Prof. Whitehill
time each week to visit the several schools
and for a more general supervision OF
them which cannot but be of value TO pu-
pills and teachers alike.
The committee had new floor put into
the lower primary room during last vaca-
ton, which viii make that room warmer
and much better than heretoIore.

riding through town few days ago
with a Woodstock farmer and noted
down few of his remarks as he rode
along as follows: 81 am surprised to
see what good crops you have here in
Barnard" "Your corn is more for
ward than ours in Woodstock, that
piece of corn will do to cut by the 9TH
Of September, that piece of wheat
must go forty bushels to the acre. -
.sWhat big cornfelds the farmers have
here-and how well it looks. How
green the potato tops are here, they
were all dead in Woodstock long ago,
blasted" As we came TO place where
two men were digging potatoes and he
saw the ground nearly covered with
large, sound, fne-looking tubers, he
said, ''that beats all, ! declare. | did
not suppose such an immense crop of
potatoes could be raised anywhere now
a-days.' We then rode along in ST.
lence half mile when he said, "dont
you ever have poor crop Of anything
in Barnard Here I've been riding ov-
er half your town and i haven't seen a
poor crop of anything. ! always knew
YOU could beat the world raising pota-
toes and wheat, but all your crops,rye,
