The Boston & Maine railroad begins
next week using quite an extensive new
code of whistle signals by their locomotives
circular to that effect having been re-
ceived by all the trainmen this week. The
code includes 10 different signals to b'
given by combinations of long and shor
whistles and it comprises almost every
thing that would seem to be needed to con
vey orders to employees at a distance They
will probably be uninteligible to the pub
lie at large for some time to come.
Quite an important trade in real estat

is one of the best localities to be had il
town at the present time and the neN
house is expected to compare favorabl
with any in that vicinity.
The steam saw-mill across the river fror
our village, built 10 or y years ago by A
F. Minis, and now owned by the Fa
Mountain Paper company, was destroys
by fire about II O'Clock Tuesday night
This mill has been run very little the pas
, few years, being entirely idle for two years
The large piles of logs from which tn
daily supply for the pulp mills is brougl
across the river is piled near this mill an
perhaps so cords of poplar wood wa
burned. A valuable pair of horses owne
by the company, the large brown one
driven by Ned O'Brien, were being stable
in the basement of the mill and were lo
also. The origin of the fire is an EMIL
mystery, but must have been caused d, l.
: some carelessness on the part of tho'
! whose duty it was to care for the horse
The loss to the Fall Mountain Paper con
pany is quite heavy, as the machinery W
Of GOOD quality and there was considerao
