c. w. Writers, the attorney of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad company, was i'm
town last Saturday settling some damages
which had occurred by sparks from the
companys engines in different parts of the
state. A number of sets of buildings have,
i'm the past few years, been burned in va
rious parts of the state caused by careless
ness of employees of the road, and the cases
had been put into the hands of Judge Read
to bring suits.
w. J. Jarvis of this place. brakeman
on the Fitchburg railroad, had narrow
escape from death at Keene on Wednesday.
He was on top of freight train which was
switching, and while watching for a motion
from the conductor forgot all about the
depot, and was struck in the back and
head by the stone and brick wall. He was
knocked down, but luckily fell over an iron
railing near the brake wheel, so that he
was not thrown between the cars
a large portion of the iron for the high
bridge over the SaXtons river at the south
end of the village has arrived. and gang
of ten men from the Berlin Bridge com
pany are putting it in place rapidly. 1t
will make very picturesque addition to the
locality, being so high above the water.
The foreman, who has charge of the work
for the bridge company, was unfortunate
in breaking one of his legs a few days be-
fore he came here, but with unusual pluck
he gets around here on crutches and over
sees the men as usual.

to these two bridges, bridge at Leicester
Junction, another about one mile north
of that, and an iron drawbrdge in the yard
at Burlington. The bridge gang will be
kept busy during the spring and late into
the summer. The bridge here is 1865 feet
long.
An enterprise looking toward the estab-
lishment of 100000 cotton mill here
wrote recently to a business man of the
village, asking if there was any chance of in

the vicinity. The man turned the com
munication over to the board of trade, as
should be done, asking that they reply,
which was promised, but no answer was
returned till after the day set, and so per-
hapS another opportunity to improve our
business interests has been lost. We need
such things, and too much pains cannot
be takensby the proper parties to show that
the people are alive and ready to assist in
any way in their power.

WESTMINST ER.
why should Not Westminster Have q
Decent and Convenient Passenger
station!

We see and hear from Bellows Falls an
occasional appeal for a new depot there,
the old one not being sufficient for the
business of the place. We presume the
Bellows Falls people are right But while
they are crying for new depot, just stop
I and think of Westminster street with only
: by 9 waiting room, with no fire in win
ter, dirty and only fit for shed; in sum
mer occupied by tramps and filled with
stale tobacco smoke. For all our express
bundles we must 90 a mile and a-half to
Westminster Station. If we have team
we are lucky; if not, we must hire. We
dare not have perishable things come for
fear we cannot get them in season. For
freight the operation is the same, as only
carload lots can have a stop-over, and that
by billing to the next regular station. In
order to be checked baggage must be car
ried up to the Station Westminster peo-
pie feel the contrast between their own ac-
commodations and the comfortable waiting
rooms which they find in other places
The foregoing is a solilOquy which the
writer held with herself while waiting, not
far away, to take the cars for a return trip
to Westminster CIRCUITS crossing. Not on
our own individual account do we think or
say these things although good deal in
ltItSItus Dui lllt WISH LOT Il suitable ueDOJ
to accommodate Westminster street has
been generally expressed, particularly of
late, when there is a prospect of more
business coming here, and which is sure to
come sooner or later. 1t is true that the
cars will stop for passengers four times a
day, but humanity is never satisfied, and
now it seems as though, if we could have
better accommodations it would not be
amiss either for the people orfOr the railroad
company. 1t is said that as many passen-
gers get on and off here as at the Station, or
more, and a good deal of business which
now comes up on the Walpole side would
come this way if it could be properly ac-
cOmmOdated. Why not talk this subject
over, and take measures for urging it upon
the consideration of the railroad manage
ment in a way that will command their
attention and respect?

VICINITY GLEANINGs.

Frank l. Burbee of Weston. who was
convicted at the October term of Windsor
county court of stealing fat cattle from in
divduals living in Ludlow, Plymouth and
Reading, and selling them to a butcher by
the name of Potter living at Plymouth, has
just had his trial before jury reviewed
on exceptions taken by his counsel. Hon.
Gilbert \. Davis of Windsor at the SUI
preme court just held at Woodstock, and
the finding of the court is to the effect that
some testimony was excluded that ought
not to have been; and, of course. the case
is sent back for a new trial with bonds
reduced from 500 to 500. which gives
Burbee chance to get out of the scrapc
by paying an amount that he and his
friends can probably raise. When the case
was first tried before the justice at Ludlow,
it was very evident that two or three others
who swore against Burbee. were "as deep
in the mud as he was in the mire.' The
case has attracted much attention.
