rivers have been quite low; and for want
of water In pastures an unusually large
number of calves and cows have been sold
and shipped to Boston. Just before the
rain of Thursday the water supply of the
village was thrcatened-ouc Of the two
reservoirs in use having about dried up.

fall of rain would not more than supply
in town and county the water needed for
fall and winter consumption.

Central and the substitution of strangers
In place of long time and faithful en-
ployes of the old Central Vermont rail-
ROAD has had the effect Of demoralzng
to some extent the service.
