A fearful and an awful scene was presented

hours Of that beautiful Sabbath day. At q
window In one Of the upper stories was gath
cred group with anxious faces-a father,
mother and child-waiting, perhaps, to die to-

building, appeared q sergeant Of our patrol.
The distance was too great to reach. Without
hesitation he threw himself down, resting one
arm upon the sill aud entwining his leg around

near. With his other arm, one by one he con-

him by the legs, he threw himself head down.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-George Dixon,
the colored champion featherweight of the
United States, and Fred johnson, cham
pion of England, met lastnight at the rooms
of the Coney Island Athletic club. The
terms of the agreement, which was signed

test should be of twenty rounds or more,
and was for purse of $1,000, of
which $500 to the loser. Dixon, in accord

shape. The colored champion had no diff

originally given by King Edgar to Ken

Annual Regimental Reunions.

The reunion of the Ninth Vermont Re-
giment association will take place on
the goth inst. at Camp Governor Page in
Montpelier. The governors marquee
will be pitched for the occasion and the
members of the Ninth Vermont Regi-
ment will use the same. Each member
of the association will receive notice of
this reunion from the secretary, Lieut..
Richard f. Parker of Newport, Vermont
at an early day, and they will also be in
vited by Governor Page to witness the
review and dress parade of the troops on
the afternoon of that day. As the adiu-
tant-general of Vermont was a member
of the Ninth Regiment the members of
the old command may be sure of good
time, and from the present outlook it is
expected there will be large attend
ance. Governor Page has also invited
Brooks Post" G.. A. r., General "Step-
hen Thomas" camp, Sons of Veterans,
and all soldiers in Montpelier, to join
the Ninth Regiment association on this
occasion.
The 18th Vermont Regiment have their
annual reunion on the 25th inst. in the
Village hall at Montpelier. They have,
however, been invited to hold their re-
union in the governors marquee and
witness the drills and dress parade Of
the troops on that afternoon and even
ing. We are sure that the veterans would
prefer by far to have their reunion on the
tented field to any other place, and we
also feel confident that no one will re-
ceive a more hearty welcome to the camp
of the National Guard of Vermont than
the veterans of the war of the rebel
lion.

This diagram gives the outline of the

represent the part now used by the
public. 1t will at once be seen that in
this particular place -four corners of
this sort, will be extremely awkward,
especially when the compound curve, to
be made by those who wish to drive
from Elm through Hillside avenue, is
considered.
1t is certainly a subject worthy of
consideration by the Selectmen and
Trustees, whether these streets cannot
be Strengthened in some way, and we
commend il to their consideration.

The Ride the Vermont Railroad Conn
mIssIOners Took.

The Troy Times has the following
item: The Vermont Railroad Commits
sioners visited Bennington Saturday on
their annual tour of inspection. After
looking over the Bennington and Rut-
land road and that portion of the Leb-
anon Springs road lying in Vermont, the
party proceeded to inspect the Benning-
ton and Glastonbury road, which is about
nine miles in length and runs up into
one of the worlds lend places" in the
Green Mountains. 1t was built 20 years
ago for the purpose of getting off an i'm
mense tract of timber lying in the sew
eral townships. Ne regular trains have
run over the railroad during the last
year and half, and it is probable that
the line will be abandoned in time. A
large portion of the timber bias been cut
off, and as consequence it does not pay
to operate the road. The rails are
badly bent and worn and many of the
ties are so rotten that they will not hold
a spike. Up this road Saturday after
noon cautiously moved single passen-
ger car, drawn by small, wood-burning
locomotive-the Commissioners had
started out in the discharge of their Off
cial duties. The train was stopped oc-
casionally to inspect the dilapidated
condition of bridge, or the wonderful
tortuosity of a rail. In this way the
party had proceeded about half way
over the road, when the locomotive
olumsily fell off the track, leaving the
whole party in dilemma. 1t was inn
possible to go on, and how to get back to
Bennington safely was the question. AS
the upgrade at that point is nearly $50
feet to the mile, it was only necessary to
let the car run down the incline, and the
return journey could be made in a jiffy.
But the Commissioners thought of the
worn and twisted rails around the sharp
reverse curves of the road. Suppose,
said member of the party, "that the
car gets under full speed and the brakes
won't work? Not one of us will be left
to tell the tale of that wild ride down the
grade" The party was landed safely at
Bennington, however, but not without
unmistakable evidence of satisfaction on
the part of the Commissioners. A few
minutes afterward they went flying
homeward over the smooth, heavy rails.
of the Bennington and Rutland road. 1t
is not thought the report of the State
officials concerning the physical condi-
ton" Of the Bennington and Glastonbury
road will be over and above flattering.
