Henry Bowtelle, who went to California
about year ago, intending to make a
permanent residence, has arranged to
return to Bellows Falls, and is expected
here with his wife within the coming
week. He will probabbaly reGnter the
employ of the Boston &c Maine railroad,

Quite number from here visited the
wreck on the Fitchburg road below Wal
pole last Saturday. 1t was one of the
worst locking wrecks seen in this vicinity
for long time, - freight cars being piled
top of one another very promiscuously.
| They were loaded with cotton, castings,
oil and other classes of freight, and the
damage must have been large. Trains
were delayed from 4 o'clock in the morn
ing till after s at night. The wreck was
caused by broken truck under one car.

discovered in the old store house of the
Fall Mountain Paper company near the

also. The building was very old and OF
hardly any value, but there was consider
able stock of paper, and stock for its man

which there was an insurance of but SOC
at the agency of E. S. Leonard.

THE RAMBLER
Resumes His LOng-Neglected Pen TO
Make Modest Suggestion about
school Discipline.

Make Modest Suggestion about
school Discipline.
The Rambler, strange as it may seem,
was young once. The Rambler, strange
and yet passing strange as it may appear,
was not a quiet inotfensive lad scarcely
pensive, indeed, in his youth. The Ram
bler's quiet dignity of manner-not auster-
ity, Young friend-was the growth of later
wears; the like is true of his silvery Aaron
ic beard and his sheeny poll. CIn very
unobtrusive "aside' the Rambler would re-
lieve himself of that which savors of Sol
ONION, perhaps, not sin his glory but in
his lamented aftermath, by remarking that
in his childhood a childlike, Bland demean-
or was not always associated with silver-y
accompaniments. With this sapient de-
liverance the Rambler will resume the
thread of his discourse, if thread there be,
if discourse there be. The Rambler, in
his callow youthhood, was made the I'M
suspecting victim of the chirurgeon and,
all unconscious of the dire results, permit
ted his barred arm to be lacerated and inoc-
ulated with vaccine virus. Is the Rambler
mistaken or did he hear some irreverent
youth exclaim between his molars, 'roden-
fidr? No, my son, the Rambler begs
leave to correct you! Twas worse, far
worse, than rats. Even now the Rambler
is tempted to mourn the absence of the
long finger nail of the young man of the
period as his memory reverts to the agony,
| the horror, of those days when to scratch
was, in his youthful mind, the "chief end
of man." Itch? Oh, how that arm did
itch! But the Rambler did not resume
this long-neglected pen to depict but sim
! Div to refer in the most delicate manner TO
that adolescent period of torture; this ref
erence, moreover, being for purpose.
! That purpose, gentle reader, shall be dis
closed with that terseness OF dlctlon which
so oft attendeth the utterances OF the Ram
! BIER
The Rambler has heard with exquisite
agony that other youths have been subject
ed to like torture, but he trusts that they
have borne it with becoming fortitude. 1t
has also come to the ears of the Rambler
that in a certain school in loved and lovely
Brattlebofo, there was found teacher,
who. with ferrous heart, demanded, nay,
commanded, that every hand should be
ouiescent in its owners lap, that no foot
fall should be heard from scholar at his
desk under dire penalties. And all this,
GENTLE reader, the Rambler is informed
took place during the "late unpleasant
ness'' when "the old scratch himself
would have been in agony if the thing
worked.
Verify, verily-but the aged Rambler is
beside himself! His hirsute appendag'
has loosened, his spectacles have fallen
he dares not trust himself to say more
save the hope that the rising generation
without regard to the particular locality o
the painful excrescence, may be permitted
to rise and fall as may best relieve then
without regard to that traditional phi
whose descent must be listened for, eyel
though as silent as the snowflake. In tn
immortal verbiage of some unknown sage
'let 'em scratch! let 'em stomp!'

An Unseen Enemy

Is more TO be dreaded than an open and visible
one. That subtle and lurking foe, which under
the generic name of malaria manifests itself,
when it clutches us in its tenacious grasp, in the
various forms of chlllsand fever, bilious remit
tent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only be eff
fectually guarded against by fortifying the sys-
tenn against its insdious attacks with Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters, thorough antidote to the
poison of miasma in the sy tenn ana a safeguard
against it thoroughly to &c relied upon. In the
event of a malarious attack avoid poisoning your
system with qunne, and use instead this whole
some remedy unobjectionable in taste and far
more efficacous than any drug Use the BitteTs
for dyspepsia, housness, constipation, kidney
complaints and rheumatism.

Monday Evenings Concert.

Although the concert at the Congrega-
tonal church Monday night did not draw
an especially large audience on account of
attractions elsewhere, yet it may be put
down as a decided success.
Little need be said of the playing of the
Ideal club as that is already well-known
and popular organization, and has earned
well-deserved praises for its exceptionally
fine PLAYING Mr.. Harrgan being i'll, only
five of the members were present. Miss
SAWYER, vocalist, and Miss Mcleod are
Bellows Falls girls, and needed no intro
duction here. OF Miss Sawyer, little can
be said. as all the adiectives have long ago
beep exhausted on her. Suffice it to say,
that on this occasion, her reputation as a
singer was in no way lessened, but, on the
contrary, strengthened. Miss Mcleod. a
nupil in the Boston school of oratory, has
many warm friends here, and was well re-
ceiyed. The reading most enjoyed by the
audience was Baby and l." piece ar
ranged by Miss Mcleod from a popular
song. Mrs. Hubbard, as Miss Thwing,
has appeared frequently before Bellows
Falls audiences. She contributed large
share toward the enjoyment of the even
ing. OF her three selections, " Good
night was the finest, and won hearty
applause.

Tho corsnmption of gold in the arts and

The consumption of gold in the arts and
in dentistry throughout the world Is estl-
mated at from $65, 900, 600 to $50, OOO, 900 a
wear. For those purposes about S22, OOO,-
600 worth of these metals was used IN the
limited States during 1893. 1t has been
reckoned that within ten years TINS coun-
try will employ the whole OF its gold prod
uct of $4,000, 900 annually for trlnkets'
gliding and teeth, the increase in that mat dl-
rection being at the rate OF 81 ,OOo'ooo per
annum The consumption of silver in the
arts is estimated at about half that of gold.
Of late the use of gold leaf for furniture
and interior decoration has come greatly
into fashion. The gold thus utilized is
total loss. One gold dollar makes one
hundred leaves of gold leaf of commercial
size-three by three inches.

he Brass Bands First Appearance.


The Mortified brass band made its first
appearance in public at the town hall on
Wednesday evening. From 6 to S o'clock
a very excellent maple sugar supper was
served, large number partaking. At s
o'clock the hall was crowded, nearly all of
the standing room being taken. The mu-
steal program was most excellent one.
The band played several numbers in a
most creditable manner, and elected hearty
applause; several vocal numbers were
down, notably the ladies' quartet; also
Miss Kate Mattoon recited in a pleasing
manner The entire performance was
highly satisfactory to the audience, and
must have netted the band a good sum Of
money. The band was organized last sep
TENDER by Mr.. VIM. Day of Greenfield,
and consists Of p members, very few of
whom have ever played before. Wednes-
day evenings playing shows remarkable
results, and it is safe to predict for North
field first-class band in the near future, if
they continue their practice.
