Three Small Fires.

The fire department has been
called out twice this week, but the
hose carts and hook and ladder
trucks were not put into use, as the
fires were extinguished without their
aid and with little or no damage.
About $50 Wednesday evening
Frank Nichols saw blaze in the
cellar of the Woodward mansion on
Mountain avenue, and gave the
alarm which quickly brought the
fircmcn and two or three hundred
citizens to the ground. Before their
arrival, however, II. H. Daniels en-
tered the cellar and found a blaze
enveloping the gas meter, new one
put in the day before. Two or
three buckets of water put it ont, the
surrounding woodwork being some
what scorched. How the fire origi-
mated was something of a mystery, as
no one had been in the cellar during
the day, and no light or fire wa
used in putting in the meter. The
two pipes entering the meter were
burned off and pieces of sacking
wrapped about the main pipe on the
other side of a partition was also
found burning. Further investiga-
ton, however, showed that lightning
was probably responsible for the
blaze, as a rod runs down the side of
the house near the place where it
broke out.
Tuesday forenoon there was a
blaze at the gas house, but this was
also out before the firemen could get
to work. AT about the same time a
burning match and waste paper
basket at F. B. Merrill's house got
together for business purposes, the
result being that two or three cur
tains were ruined some woodwork
scorched trifle.

Telegraph and Telephone Changes

The Western Union telegraph Of
flee is now located in G. r. Win
slows book store, and Erwin M.
Nutting, who learned the business
here, and who is an excellent OPP
orator, is now manager. He went
to the Waumbek, at Jefferson, n.
H., about Il month ago, to take
charge of the office there, but when
the removal from the American En-
press co.npany's headquarters here
was decided upon, Mr.. Swain, the
agent, not caring to keep the office
longer, he was offered the position
of manager, which he accepted.
Whitcomb's livery stable and the
Woodstock railway telephones will
also be removed to the new office.

Jock BoWan's First Race.
The Mirror and Farmer says:

The Mirror and Farmer says:
"Thirty-three years ago, seated
behind 4-year-old bay mare, over ii
third of a mile track, roughly laid
out in potato field in Woodstock,
VT, Jock Bowen drove his first race.
He has been driving ever since, and
now at &C years of age it must be a
source of qualification to the Nestor
of drivers to he riding so merrily to
the front. Last year he was up be-
hind the good trotter Tomah, and
chalked him fatty in 2.Io, and now
week after week Ire is up behind
Refina, and at Rigby on July 30 in
such perfect condition was the gray
daughter of Reelection that Ben
Walker stepped her three heats in
2.III-2, ALOHA, 2.IOI-2."
The above paragraph is correct,
excepting that the race took place 43
years ago, instead of 80, during the
county fair in 1853. The track was
on the Blake meadow, and the stock
was exhibited around the park in the
village. The present track was laid
out few years later.

Mexican Dollars at Bethel,

The Bethel Shoe Company sent
the following to each of its employees
on its last pay day.
To our employes-We use in our
payroll to-day Mexican silver dol
lars, containing more silver than the
American silver dollar. We put
them in as sixty cents only, as that is
all they will pass for, not being en-
changeable for gold dollars as our

Should we have free coinage of
silver as advocated to-day by the op.

A Woodstock Democrat Bolts.

EDITOR OF TIE AGE:
The meeting of the county Demo-
cracy held at White River Junction,
July goth, placed my name on the
ticket of county officers. Being alb
sent from the convention, and as a
physician, not having time tor poll
tics, positively decline any and all
such honors. How the convention
after reatfirming its fidelity to the
principles of Democracy as enun-
ciated by Jefferson and excmplified
by Jackson and Cleveland, who adj
vocated Democracy, as | have al
ways understood 1t, a platform of
conservatism and sound money
could pledge its hearty support to
the national ticket nominated at Chi
cago, is more than can understand,
and for one cannot and will not sup
port it.
Most sincerely,
A. N. LOGAN.
