The Fall Mountain Paper company are
cleaning out the old Conant block on
Bridge street, which has been in a dilapi-
dated condition some years, and intends to
move its machine shop that is in the base
ment of the five-story old Vermont Farm
Machine company building into it. The
quarters now occupied by the machine shop
are to be used for special department of
paper making, that of papers of different
colors on the two sides.
| Road Commissioner G. e. Osgood has
hired stone crusher for the remainder of
the season and is using it upon the high
way between here and Saxtons River with
good results. Five or six miles of the
| highways of the town are to be made per-
manent, much TO the qualification of large
portion of the citizens. An effort was
made to have the Bellows Falls corpora
ton join the town and purchase a crusher
for permanent use, but the agreement was
not reached this year. Another effort to
this end will be made next year.

General Secretary Freer has been ice
tendance upon the convention of Y. fS,,

In the advances made in devices for pro-
! duction of paper and pulp under the hill,
the New England pulp machines which
have been in use for few years past are
| giving way to an improved machine for
| grinding, known as the Roberts grinder,
capable of grinding double what was posi-
BILE with the old machine. One of these
improved pachinessSt thee2 set up in No.
pulp mill recently, under c. In5accffsa -
the inventor whose name it bears, and IL
promises vastly improved results. This
makes the fourth distinct revolution, and
complete change in style and principle of
| grinding machines made since the making
of wood pulp began here. 1t must be ex-
pensive to entirely rebuild and refit ma
chinery so often, but it becomes necessary
in order to "keep up with the procession"
of inventors, and keep reducing cost of
production of paper.
What came near being fatal accident
occurred on Westminster street Saturday
evening in front of Wyman Flint's resi-
dence, when two teams coming up West
minister street, evidently trying the speed
of the horses, collided with team going
in the opposite direction. Frank Blair
was driving one and a workman on the
NJ. W. Davis farm was driving the other,
while the team going south was driven by
j. o. Rich. Mrs. Rich and E. A. Pierce
were also in the team. Mr.. Pierce and
Mr.. Rich had just come in on the evening
train from Keene where they had been do
ing job of stating, and had been met at
the station by Mrs. Rich. The whole
party were thrown out and injured some
what, but none seriously except Mr.. Pierce
who struck heavily upon his head and was
rendered unconscious. He was taken to
his home and did not regain consciousness
until Sunday afternoon, and even then
could remember none of the circumstances.
He has improved rapidly since, and no
fears are entertained of a serious result.
The occurrence will call the attention of
the authorities to the dangers of the preva-
lent custom of fast driving and fast riding
upon our streets, which makes it unpleas-
ant in many cases, and unnecessarily I'M
safe.
The following are the names of the
chairmen of the different committees of
the Y. NJ. c. A. for the coming year: Re-
ligious work, F. G. Day; education, L. S.
Hayes; physical department, Louis b.
Wilson; reception, G. j. Henderson;
membership, o. R. Butterfield; finance, e.
G.. Fairbank; rooms, George R. Wales.
evening when they are to elect president.
Without doubt j. @. Day will be reelected.
The woman's auxiliary yesterday elected
Mrs. Daniel Beaton president in the place
of Mrs. j. G. Day, who was elected at the
annual meeting, but declined to serve, The
association offers to the young men eight
different educational classes, instead of
three, as last year, if they express a wish
for them in large enough numbers to war
rant. They are to be stenography, me-
chanical drawing, geometrical drawing,
chemistry, with special reference to paper
making, American history, penmanship,
business arithmetic and elementary cleo
tricity. There will be course of fortnightly
