Rev. w. F. Crafts of Washington,
leader in modern reforms, delivered an
able address in the auditorium of the Con
gregational church Tuesday evening. His
topic, "Fresh light on current reforms
was treated from a scientific standpoint,
and in a delightful manner. He spoke at
length of each of the II great national re-
forms. Only small audience was pres
ent, but those who heard the lecture pro-
nounced it the best of its kind they had
ever heard.
Col. James A. Wood, well known here
as a longtime resident of South Acworth,
and a familiar figure upon our streets, is
candidate for the position of collector of
internal revenue for New Hampshire dis
trict. Late advices from Washington in
dictate that he stands good chance of Sc
curing it, although he has several lively
competitors. He has lived the larger part
of the past few years in Concord, although
retaining his residence in the village of
South Acworth.
Morton w. Ross, who for two years was
cashier in the Fitchburg railroad freight
office here, has accepted the position of as
sistant secretary of the Railroad \. Nj. &.
A. of New Haven, Conn, as an oppor-
tunity to continue his studies preparatory
to entering the Episcopal ministry. The
association with which he is connected is
largely supported by the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, the company
having paid during the past year over S1j,-
600 in organizing and carrying it forward.
1t now numbers more than 700 members.

Another important new street is to be
opened up at once, just south of, and par
allel to "Burt Place" and it promises to
be as much of an addition to the first class
residences of the village as does the "Burt
Place. Geo. Z. Page has plans complet-
ed for a new house to be started at once on
the north side, and will put second one
little later Just east of it. They are both
to be just east of J. r. Blood dwelling.
On the south side of the street are three
more lots owned by different parties, some
of whom will build later in the season.
This immediate locality is one of the most
desirable remaining in any part of the vii
lage.
A Miss Graham of Wnooski was in this
village a portion of last week visiting the
family of her brother, Daniel Graham
While here her mind became unbalanced
and she attracted attention in the square
by her actions Thursday. She inquired at
one of the stores for some whskey of the
quality used by Father Reynolds, and she
also ordered some meat sent up to his
house. Miss Graham is an estimable lady,
and the family have the sympathy of all.
Her malady seems to have arisen from the
recent death of her mother Her father,
! Barney Graham, came here Saturday from
Winooski and returned with her Monday
to their home.
Considerable disturbance and comment
in railroad circles has been occasioned the
! past week by the instructions to Central
| Vermont conductors north of Burlington
to refuse to honor any south bound tickets
issued by the Rutland road in Canada, or
any points north of Burlington, to passen-
gers destined south of Burlington. This
is to prevent the Rutland road from taking
passengers over their road who might
| otherwise come south over the Central
| Vermont via White River junction. The
same general instructions are issued to
baggage masters not to check any baggage
on such tickets, all causing considerable
| Inconvenience to those who may have pur-
chased tickets of the Rutland issue not
knowing of the complications.
