The statement in the Montpelier items in
your issue of October 81 that Nathan Boyce,
treasurer of the town of Fayston, had been
indicted by the grand jury, is mistake.
In the first place, Nathan Boyce is not now
resident of this town, and never held the
office OF treasurer. 1t is Dan Boyce that has
been indicted, and he is not the town treas
urer When the officer called at his house
to arrest him, he was told by his wife that
Mr.. Boyce had gone somewhere visiting,
but she did not know where. 1t is thought
that he is still in town. The way of the
transgressor is hard.

the main street-has been taken in stock
This will be increased to about seventy-five
thousand dollars by the parties engaged in
this enterprise. Work will begin immedi-
ately. The houses are to be ready for next
seasons travel. Both will be owned and
run by one company. They will have at
tractive mountains and fertile valleys on
all sides. The rugged gateway of Dixville
Notch will be visible from each. After the
twenty-five thousand given toward the
building of the railroad so large a sum
as the stock list shows could hardly have
been expected from any but philosophical
citizens.
