out Oh that depot every year, beautifying it

that in town where the railroads do so little
business as in Bellows Falls they would main
tain any such elaborate structure. second

| couple Of smashups. run onto siding is all
that would ordinarily be expected by trav-
eler at such q town as this. But the railroads
have always pursued liberal policy here, and
hence the prlncely mansion which is used as
a depot, and the beautifully graded park near
by with its collection of rare aud valuable
specimens of tomato cans, broken bottles and
car refuse. Let us hope that their kindness
will never grow less.
The concert at the Congregational church
last Monday evening under the auspices of

composed of five young men of this village.
Miss Marcia Sawyer, vocalist, James +,
O'Brien. pianist, and Miss Mcleod, reader,
also of this place, and Mrs. w. E. Hubbard
vocalist, Of Brattleboro. The selections by
with marked favor. The solos by Miss Saw.
yer and Mrs. Hubbard were unusually pleas
ing, and Miss Mcleod in her recitations dis
played much versatility of talent. The organ
solo by Mr.. O'Brien was finely executed and
his piano Accomplishments were in good
taste. Encores were frequent during the
evening. fair audience was present, but
it should have been larger.
DR.. E. w. Knight is making some great
improvements in his office. One of them is a
New Columbia dental chair the latest inven-
ton. By pressing on a foot lever the chair
can be raised q inches by hydraulic power,
and another lever allows it to slowly settle
back into the natural position. 1t can be
placed in a most any position, and one lever
reverses the chair in an instant, for use in
case of necessity when giving ether. The
head rest can be raised or lowered, or placed
at any angle to accommodate the patient, and
the whole chair is remarkably artistic in de-
sign and finish, Another Of the improve
ments is an eight cell electric battery with
motors to drive the dental engines and lathe.
The cells are of two gallons capacity each,
and are known as the Lalande battery, Edi-
sons latest invention. Power from the bat
terry will also be used to drive electric fans,
and in case of necessity will run the incandes-
cent lights. The chair and apparatus is the
outfit shown at the recent convention of the
Vt. state Dental association, by the Bos-
ton Dental Manufacturing Co. +. M. Fol-
| lamsbee of the firm was in town Tuesday set
ting the apparatus up. With these improve
ments, DR.. Knight has the finest fitted office
| in this state.
