VERMONT fishermen, says the Brattle-
boro Sunday Springfield Republican cor
respondent, are anxious that something
should be done about additional fish
ways in the several dams along the Con-
necticut. 1t is claimed that there is no
provision in some of these, whereby shad
and other fish can get above Holyoke
and Turner's Falls dams, and it is pro.
posed to petition for the construction of
suitable ways at these points. Formerly
shad could be found as far north as Bel
lows Falls, but none have been taken
there in recent years.
THE Vermont Journal notes tenden-
CIV on the East side of the Green Noun
tdins that finds counterpart in this vi
cinity also. 1t says: within a COM
paratively short time a very large num-
Der of young men in our towns have set
tied down in earnest on the old farms of
the fathers, a fact that speaks well for
the continued prosperity of Vermont.
YOu all know these young men to whom
allusion is made. As you recall them
you will only meet with first class names,
such as any town might be proud to own.
There is not cheap one amorg them
all, or one who is not credit to the farm
ing profession"
The night OPERATOR in the train des-
patcher's office, Jonn J. Glass, has been
placed in charge of the day work, and L.
c. Holton takes his old place at night
work. James Archer, the man who
made the mistake of Tuesday, is at his
mothers in this village. The suspended
train dispatcher is regarded as very
competent man. He was the one who
sat at the key during the Centennial of
1891, and his work at that time, handling
so many trains on single track, was re-
garded as great feat by railroad men.
The mistake Of Tuesday is incom prehen-
sible.
IT is conceded everywhere in this state
that Vermont makes the finest maple
sugar in the world, and Judging from the
exhibits made at Burlington, recently.
in connection with the annual meeting
of the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers
Association, this assertion is not far
from the truth. A literary programme
was carried out, which included remi
niscence of the sugar bush by E. p. Mud
gett of Cambridge; talk on futures by
G.. D. Whitman of Brattleboro, who had
charge of the Vermont maple sugar ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair at Chicago, and
a talk by w. H. Parker of Cambridge,
who was one of the sugar judges at the
Worlds fair.
MAGGIE CLINE, "the Irish queen"
will make her appearance at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening with G. B.
Jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger's Comedy
company, which will be seen in the bril-
liant and intensely droll comedy, 1.-THE
EOulOdl DY Cibl
Manager Tiffany writes he had the pleas
ure of witnessing the play, recently, at
the Grand Opera House in New York,
and that he can assure the patrons OF our
Opera house that they will miss good
thing if they do not attend. 1t is fun
from beginning to end, and the singing
of Miss Cline is exceptionally fine. This
alone is worth the price of admission.
The great character singer will give her
most pronounced successes.
