taken the place of snow. The hills be-

the grass is waist high. This vegetation,
dying winter after winter, covers the

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Bellows Falls Good VIII for Assistant
Snperintendent Goodwin.


James e. Goodwin, who has been assistant su.
perintendent Of the Sullivan and Vermont Valley
railroads since November 1881, has been appoint.
ed agent Of the Boston & Maine system at North
ampton, Mass In veiE of his departure from
Bellows Falls, railroad men OF the several roads
centering here, and other friends, to the number
Of 35 assembled at Towns hotel Saturday even
ing for the purpose Of extending to Mr.. Goodwin
their well wishes in his new field.
Haf-past eight was the hour set for the party
to be at the parlors and when all had gathered,
George Hapgood. who was chosen chairman, sent
a carriage after Mr. Goodwin, informing him he
was wanted at the hotel Immediately. When he
arrived il was plain to be all surprise to
him. After few preliminary remarks Henry A.
Wheeler, cashier in the freight Office of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad, approached Mr.. Goodwin
and in very appropriate speech presented him,
in behalf of the company and other friends, a
diamond stud, and before MIR. Goodwin had OPP
portunty to say word Mr.. Wheeler gave the
signal to Merchant Tailor G. E. Capron who
measured Mr. Goodwin for Knight Templar re-
gala Il was then Mr.. Goodwin's turn to speak,
and in a familiar and very appreciative manner
he addressed the boys thanking them for their
kindness and saying he had always admired a
diamond but never expected to own one" His
remarks outlined his connection with the Connec-
ticut River company, beginning in November,
1881, and proved very interesting, as his every
word reflected on the faithfulness of the men in
his employ and the confidence he had in them
He also spoke in glowing terms of Bellows Falls
and its citizens whom he holds in the highest es
TEEN.
In Mr.. wheelers presentation speech he said,
what is our loss is Northampton gain, IS and
the sentiment expressed at this gathering but
clearly speaks the feeling of fellowship towards
Mr.. Goodwin by the people of Bellows Falls, and
all wish him every success in his new position.
