A. farewell reception was given to Gen

the Y. M. c. A, rooms at Nashua, N. H.,
Monday evening, previous to their depar-
ture for Boston, Mr.. Bartlett having &C.

by Mr. Bartlett. The Nashua Daily Tele-
graph says: while Nashua is sorry to

Brattleboro listers have compiled list of

ctlves and young cattle) 449, S5222; sheep,

$40, SAT, 800. The total of all kinds is
; ,45, with an assessed valuation of $50, 407.
This does not include the Retreat farm

and other neat stock, many animals are

A petition to the county court TO resur-
vey, sIraghten and make three rods wide
the southwestern end of Canal street from
Timothy Ftzgerald's house at the corner of
Canal and Organ streets to George H.
Clark's land has been filed with the county
clerk this week. 1t bears % signatures
mostly of Brattleboro people. On Aug 8
a similar petition signed by So Guilford
citizens was presented TO the Brattleboro
seleclmen, stating that that part of the
road was narrow crooked. inCOnVenient
and dangerous. After due elaboration
the selectmen refused TO grant the request,
whereupon the petition to the court was
drawn up, c. E. Alexander of Guilford
heading the movement. The petition is
made primarily because of the danger at
the curve in the road near Mrs. Haskins's
where the road is but about two rods wide
There is no question but that three-rod
road at that point would be a great i'm
provement upon the present road but that
would necessilate taking a strip rod wide
off Mrs. Haskinss land, which would en-
gender prOtracted legal proceedings.
