THE COTTAGE FAR AWAY.

Yet frightened up with smiles,

As well as far In miles;

Fair as a summer day,
To me Its beauty fadeth not
Tho cottage far away.

The loved ones as before;
The curtained windows fresh and clean,
Aud mother at the door.

OF true hearts fresh and gay

The cottage far away.
I cannot 90 10 look upon

And some are dead TO me.

The place In memory's ray,

"SCALPERSU ON hand.

The extent to which the "scalpers"
operated in connection with the sale
OF the Dixey tickets has proved very
annoying and embarrassing to the
Opera House management, and has
evoked great deal of vigorous COM
ment from persons who had planned
to attend the performance and sup
posed they were to have reason
able chance to secure tickets. Scores
of the best seats in the house were
appropriat ted by the scalpers as
soon as the sale was open, with a
view to making a dollar" out OF
those who came late for tickets. AS
consequence many were dlsap-
pointed. The spectators will get
only their just deserts if they fail to
realize as heavily as they expected.
Such strokes of enterprise % can
not be carried on successfully in a
place of this size, and we trust that
the Opera House management will
see that such things are prevented,
so far as possible, in connection with
future entertainments They prom

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Some little excitement was created
hereabouts Monday night by report
of an accident at Capelton, on the
Passumpsic division of the Boston
and Maine, resulting in the death of
Engineer McDuffie and freight con-
ductor Cowan. The particulars of
the affair, as we have been able to
CLEAN them, are as follows: The mail
train from Sherbrooke collided with
an incoming passenger train. The
engineer Of the outgoing passenger,
it is stated, instead of taking the
side-track at its north end as is Gus
tomary, went by the switch with the
Intention of backing at the extreme
end. But before covering the length
of the track necessary in this move
rnent, the incoming train appeared
around a curve and both engines
came together The fireman of the
outgoing train jumped and was I'M
injured, but McDuffee, and Cowan
who was with him on the engine,
were both killed. Five other train
hands were injured but only slightly.
McDuffle was resident of Lyn-
donville and leaves a widow and
two children.
The Canadian laws concerning
such disasters are very strict, and
searching investigation will be made,
to fix the blame for the collision
where it belongs.
