Friday to Ludlow and points beyond, re-
turning Monday with the finest lot OF
trout brought into town this season.
The band is trying to make arrange.
ments to give at least one open air con.
cert. They now seem in fair way to
succeed and if they do, one concert will
be given for the benefit of the public.
The warlike looking Indian, who has
advertised cigars before Hecker's dool
for so many moons, noseless ana with
broken tomahawk, was consumed IN the
conflagration known as bonfire FRIDAY
night. Peace to his ashes.
A. E. Lamb has fine garden of small
fruits at his Riverside Poultry farm and
from the many he selected a basket OF
excellent currants and presented them
to the editor of The TIMES, by whom
they were duly appreciated.
The walls of the new school house are
all up and the roof is nearly done. The
heaviest part of the work being done, II
remains to do the interior finishing and
furnishing. There is no doubt about It's
being done by September, as promised.
The drum corps have their new uni
forms and appeared in them for the flrst
time Wednesday night. The uniforms
are blue with gold trimming and make
pretty showing. By the way, the boys
are playing better than when they first
began.
More of the fences have been taken
down on Henry street. The example set
by the first man has done q deal OF good
in this case. Fences are unsightly IN
village anyway and are only of use on a
farm where animals run at large. Full
them down.
Passenger traffic on the railroads ln-
creases faster than ever before in the
same length of time. Part OF this IN
crease is due to the increase in summer
yacationists to resorts in Vermont. In
wears to come there will be still more of
this growth.

not being inclined to crowd any one to
the states prison.

The rubbish in the dump at the juno
ton of Earle and Westminster streets
has been burning slowly for few days,
emitting most enticing odor. That
place ought to be cleaned out. 1t is a
menace to the health and a horrible sight
for the eyes of those who live in its vicin-
ity.
The new machine shop is an imposing
looking building now. The walls are
all laid, the roof is on and workmen are
engaged in finishing the inside. The
floors along the sides are concrete and
all the other interior arrangements are as
convenient as it is possible to make
them.
The Windham County Veterans re-
union will meet here July %. A cordial
invitation is extended to all veterans,
sons of veterans, and the woman's Or

chusetts hospital for treatment for fever
sore, or something of similar nature.

possible to kill. The flesh is to be laid
open from the thigh to the knee and the
bone scraped.
Repairs have been begun at the rail-

recollect that there is to be new station
there just as soon as the public demands
it in proper style.

operation of it, and the hardness of the
rock. The we'll is six inch bore, and will
be lined with iron tubing. Last week
the men drilled one 164 feet deep before
striking water,
