THE NEW DEPOT.
Complaint to the Board of Health of the
Present Sanitary Arrangements.

Complaint to the Board of Health of the
Present Sanitary Arrangements.
A complaint was made concerning the
present unsanitary conditions of the
closets at the depot. Situated in an old
building some distance from the depot,
with no sewer connection, they are a
disgrace to the railroad companies rep
resented here and menace to the health
of the employees who are obliged to work
near them. A meeting of railroad Off
Gals was held last week to decide upon
some Improvement on the present ar
rangement. 1t was decided to put the
closets where the ticket and telegraph
offices are now. and put those on the
north end of the station. This is all
nonsense. The only thing which should
be done is to tear down and build new
from foundations. 1t is useless to I'M
dertake to repair or remodel an old rock
cry on any plan which may be devised.
Build new and give Bellows Falls sta
ton building which will be worthy of
the town and the business done over the
roads centering here.

Frigid Subject.

June has been cold and wet so far, and
there seems to be prospect Of still more
of it. The weather prophets didn't pre-
dict this, but, apparently. the weather is
in an independent mood this season, and
refuses to be turned by means of crank.
Last Friday morning there was a frost,
and Saturday morning it was near it.
Sunday was beautiful day but the
night was cold, the mercury standing at
40 degrees. One man said his potatoes
had been cut down four times and he

dinarily courageous potatoes if they
started out to grow again. Gardens and
corn fields also suffered to some extent,
but it cannot be learned that the damage
is widespread or serious.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AFFAIRS
CLARENDON

Two valuable cows and yearling
belonging to G. V. Paddock of West
Claremont were recently run over and
killed by freight train on the Sullivan
railroad.
While two gentlemen from the village
were taking stroll at the camp ground
Saturday afternoon another lot of table
ware, including goblets, lamp chimneys,
knives and spoons, was found in the
north ravine, partially buried under
leaves.
w. H. Moody's barn at his private
park is completed. A we'll appointed
office and sleeping rooms for hostlers
have also been provided. Between 20
and 30 trOtting horses are now located at
the park and Messrs. Nevine and Ottison
are busy jogging and speeding them in
preparations for future campaigns.
j. d. Upham, successor to the late G.
B. Rice as treasurer of the Sullivan Ma
chine company. was employed for sever
al years in the company's office, until he
went to Brandon, VT, about five years
ago. He has been treasurer of the Bran
don Italian Marble company and has
been very successful in developing the
business. The company here regrets to
lose him. At meeting of the stock
holders of the Sullivan Machine company
Thursday he was elected treasurer. and
will later in the season move his family
here for permanent residence.
The Eagle says: E. j. Shattuck has
six pound solid shot, which he says
was found on Mount Independence near
old Fort III. 1t is supposed to have been
fired from French gun in 1853, at the
time of the French and English war.
The old shot bears evidence of age and is
a curiosity. Mr.. Shattuck informs us
that it was presented to him by friend
in the vicinity of Fort III, who ploughed
it up on the morning before the election
of Grover Cleveland to the presidency,
and he has since retained it, waiting for
the right person to give it to. The find
er being stanch Democrat, we failed to
learn whether or not he claimed it an
omen of success to his party but pre-
sumo he did. A coin bearing the stamp
of George the III, was picked up by Mr..
Shattuck on the shore of Lake Cham
plain, which bears evidence of having
been exposed to the storms for many
years. In fact it is so badly worn that
the date is entirely gone, but if the his
tory of this old timer could be heard it
would undoubtedly make an interesting
chapter.
