Yesterday was one of the pleasantest
days of the year. Every one comedies
that, and all because rain fell almost
constantly the entire day. Rainy
weather is generally frowned upon by a
part of the population, but not person
was heard yesterday railing at the
showers. 1t will help greatly to relieve
the low water in springs and rivers.
About 40 went from here on the eX-
cursion to Bennington last Saturday.

A diver from Boston has been work
ing several days repairing the dam
above the Sullivan railroad bridge. The
planks had become loosened from the
bed of the river allowing large amount

the arch bridge on Bridge street Thurs
day and captured quantity of liquor
