The record of accidents occasioned
by bathing and sports around the wa
ter this year, as usual in summer
months, is appalling. Bathing and
swimming are enticing sports, but
there are no friends who are willing
to sacrifice relatives in watery graves.
Words of caution, in this case, are
useless, but the greatest care should
be exercised about the water. Most
drownings by swimmers and bathers
are occasioned by carelessness.

freights on the Passumpsic division

pected this week from the Manchester
Locomotive Works, to be used on the

Mr.. Seaver, in making arrange
ments with the Tableau DART people
to give an entertainment in Opera
hall, tomorrow (Tuesday) evening,
will afford the people of this vicinity
an opportunity to enjoy an entertain

this company that they are in great
demand during the lecture season,
and only those best able can afford
to employ them. The reason why
they can come here now is the fact
that they are spending summer va
cation at Newport and come here as a
sort of diversion. There ought to be
large attendance. No one can afford
to miss this opportunity.
