the results of the administration of E. S.
Hall as chef-of-police of the village of
Brattleboro, namely, the absence of street
gamins at night. Mr.. Hall makes special
efforts to keep the streets clear of small
boys who have no reason for being on the
street but to loaf and smoke cigarettes, and
the result of his efforts is apparent. In
these efforts Mr.. Hall is actuated by de-
sire not only to keep the streets quiet and
orderly, but to confer lasting benefits upon
the boys and their parents. There is no
doubt but that many boys have needed Mr..
Halls advice and have gone home when
they would otherwise have remained on the

The prospects for this seasons business
at the corn canning factory are excellent
as far as can be determined at this early
date. About $50 acres of corn have been
subscribed by farmers hereabouts, while
so acres have been pledged in Mortified,
Mass, and vicinity. This makes the total
number of acres subscribed about the same
as last year. A larger yield is expected
from the same acreage this year, however,
as the farmers who are growing the corn
IL g., 4.
had the best luck with it last year. The
corn grown in Mortified will be shipped
to the factory by rail, and it is hoped that
with this additional supply no corn will
need to be shipped from towns above here
as was done last year to keep the factory
running the desired length of time. E. X.
Seabury will be at Odd Fellows block for
the last time tomorrow when seed can be
procured from him by any one wishing it.
The quarterly statement of Boston &
Maine earnings and results shows charges
nearly earned in the poorest quarter of the
year and substantial balance for the nine
months ending March 81. With the cur
rent large business and every prospect of a
record-making summer business there is
every reason for stockholders to feel salts
fled and the price of the stock is an indi-
cation of investment regard of the highest
kind. The gross earnings for the quarter
ending March 81 were $4,2S6, POT, about
$4,000 less than for the same quarter in
1898. The total expenses and charges ex-
ceeded the earnings by S29,593. This is a
much better showing than last year, how
ever, when the deficit for that quarter was
$119, 40. The profit during the nine
months from July l, $1s9S to March 81
were S900,373. The total assets of the
road are $67, 259,S63.
