Strange news comes from Cambridge,

to earth up there Thursday and exploded

found pieces of stone, there would have

George M. Powers of Morrisville, son
of Congressman Powers. tried to get
elected speaker of the Vermont house of
representatives two years ago, and again
at the recent special session; he got left
both times and now bis townsmen say they
are not going to return him to Montpelier
next fall. An exchange, commenting on
the situation, says: Morrisville and
town is large borough with divers bright
and able men in it. George has not con-
ceded this, and has looked upon himself
as the place in toto. He has considered
himself and Morristown as synonymous,
when in fact there were others. As man
and statesman he is well toward the front,
for his years, but he tried to do business
on the reputation of his father and father
in-law and regardless of the rights Of
others. Hence these tears"

The road is crooked and has long tunnels ana
stecp grades The average weight Of metal sleep
crs now being laid is ls3 pounds. which Is the re.
pounds in 1881 The ties now made feet 10
inches long which IS ono foot longer nan wa
customary at the beginning. The cost OF Il new
rnild-stec sleeper OF lG3 pounds, with fastenlncs
is 81 IS but in renewals this cost Is diminished by
the value OF Old material. so that eventually tho
net cost Will be Nitlo less than that OF oak
