BRATTLEBORO,

A meeting of the directors of the London
derry creamery company, in which number
OF Brsttleboro men are interested, was held
at the Vermont national bank Saturday after
noon. 1t was agreed to confer with a COM
mittee of farmers relative tn the future oper-
alton of the company's several plants. There
is an Indebtedness due the farmers of about
$4,000 unpaid, which considering the fact thai
the books of the company should show a
profit Of over $4,000 for business of the past
year, is somewhat of mystery to the direc
tors. The manager, who has had charge of
the business since the company was formed,
has resigned. 1t is hoped that the operation
of the compsny's many plants may be con-
tinued for the benefit of the farming interests
of the upper West river valley.
The first meeting of the creditors of W. j.

The Railroad Hearing.

Last Thursday was great day for the
denizens of Claremont Junction. A
special train with Pullman coaches came up
from Concord with the Railroad Com
missioners, the roads civil engineer, Frank
w. Merrill; the superintendent of the
road, John w. Sanborn; and the roads
council, John M. Mitchell. The select
men Of Claremont and their council, Hons.
Ira Colby and H. W. Parker, and Road
Agent George w. Stevens, accompanied
by numerous citizens and interested parties,
met them for the purpose of settling the
matter of another track which the railroad
people wish to lay from the Conn. River
road near Mr.. Noonan's house, and run
ming to the Clsremont branch of the B. &
M. entering near the turn-table. The COM
pany's survey for this connection interferes
with the highway and the selectmen object
to the work being done. The commission
ers came up for the purpose of looking the
matter over and arriving at some sort of an
agreement. The whole subject wa, gone
over and an understanding reached where
by the road Is to be swung around on a
sharper curve than was at first suggested
which will materially relieve the regarding
of the hill leading up frcm the station past
the Noonan house and make the crossing
much better. What the outcome of the
meeting will be is hard to say as both par
ties are inclined to concede a point, but we
see no other issue than satisfactory one
and that the road will be built in a way
to please all concerned.

HOUGHTONvILLE.

A sudden gloom was cast over our entire
community when the sad news were received
Of the death of D. c. Hill Tuesday morning,
December IL. He had lived in Houghtonville
about four years and was loved and respected
by all who knew him. His many deeds OF
kindness to the sick and sff1 icted will long be
remembered by his many friends here. The
great aim in his life seemed to be the comfort
and happiness of others. For number OF
years he was head nurse in the Mary Fletcher
hospital but on account of failing health lett
there and came here where he had resided for
the past four years. Mr.. Hill taught the fall
term of school here and he gained the friend.
ship and love of all the scholars. He had
taken the winter school and had taught one
week. He was born in Barre in 1870. Much
of his life had been spent in Vermont. The
funeral was held here ;Ithe body was taken to
Perkinsville for burial beside his parents.

PYTHON ABOARD SHIP.
Lively Experience of a Crew ON a
British Steamer En- Route
from Hayti.

The British steamer Saltram, Capt.
Owen, which arrived at this port lately
from Port de Paix, Hayti, loaded with
logwood, passed through remarkable
thrilling experience on the way, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. On the
third day of the outward voyage John
Banks, one of the sailors, noticed a
peculiar rafting in the neighborhood
of the partition between the hold and
the forecastle. He called the attention
of his comrades to it, and, the noise
continuing, the matter was reported to
the first mate, who ordered an investi-
cation to be made. The carpenter was
summoned and portion of the wood
work hastily removed, when, to their
horror and dismay, the crew perceived
the head of python gradually pro-
trude itself.
hasty council of war was at once
held by Capt. Owen and it was resolved
to employ drastic means to effect the
reptiles destruction. The officers or
dered all guns laid aside, for fear the
men in their excitement should injure
one another rather than the snake, and
then commanded the crew to attack the
reptile with marling spikes and clubs,
After a battle lasting a quarter of ar
hour lucky blow with a spike trans
liked the beasts head, and, the skin
being too mangled for preservation, the
serpent was forthwith given watery
grave.

UNIQUE coURTsHIP.
Make Love to the Ladies of
Their Choice.

There is something very comic ac-
cording to our notions in the way
Boer manages his love-making. Hav-
Ing asked the permission of his father
to court a certain damsel in the neigh
borhood-by that is meant anywhere
within about so miles-he proceeds to
purchase the most strikingly decorated
and loudly colored saddle cloth for his
steed that he can possibly obtain. He
will very likely spend large sum of
money on this, for it is special occa-
sion, and no one knowing the country
and the habits of the people will have
the least doubt from the appearance of
his horse that he is in quest of a bride.
Having made his preparations he
mounts his most spirited horse and
journeys to the lady's home, but instead
of seeking out the object of his afec-
tions he respectfully asks permission of
her father to court her. The old man
cautiously refrains from answering,
but consults his wife, and the youth
joins the younger members of the
household.
No further notice is taken of the
sutton for the rest of the day, but if the
parents approve of him, when the rest
of the household retire for the night
the mother solemnly approaches the
young man and maiden with long tai
low candle in her hand. This she places
on the table and lights and then, hav-
ing taken an affectionate farewell OF
the couple, she retires. This is sign
to the lover that his suit is acceptable,
As long as the candle lasts the young
people are allowed to sit up and talk.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A decision by Judge L. w. Clark, United
States referee in bankruptcy, makes the
government preferred creditor in the
case of Frank E. Foss, former postmaster
at Hill. The government shortage claim
covers the entire amount of assets of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. There were
private claims for m ore than thu, sum, and
it was expected that there would be a
pro rata distribution. As the government
comes first there will be nothing left for the
creditors Foss owed about 5000 in
Franklin Falls and the balance was due in
Hill, Concord, Bristol and other places.
