Village improvements.

The selectmen of the town and trustees
of the village are to be commended for
the signal improvement which has been
made in the road from Railroad street to
the fair ground The gravel walk begin
ming at the south end of Pearl and Rail
road streets and continuing to the dry
bridge at the campus has BEEN complet-
ed and the large number of pedestrians
who use this road not only at fair time
but during the baseball season will fully
appreciate the improvement. The work
on the road from the bridge to the fair
grounds has been or a more extensive
scale and what has always been an ex-
tremely unpleasant feature of the fair for
all those who go either in teams or on
foot is now a thing of the past. In place
of the disagreeabe sand road there is
now fine gravel thouroughfare and a
wide plank walk extends from the dry
bridgeto the grounds. The road has been
widened in some parts several feet and 1T
is to be hoped that the days when the
eutire distance from Railroad street to
the fair grounds during the fairresembled
simeon on the desert are things of the
past. Commissioner Jackson has done
the work in manner which must COM
mend itself to all.
Another street which is undergoing
a change which will add greatly to it's
appearance is Portland street from Rail-
road street to the bridge. No new lines
have been made but improvements are
being made along the lines of the original
survey. This makes the street run at
right angles to Railroad street to the
bridge, thence at slight angle to Farm
ham & Albee's store. The change cuts
into the bank on the railroad near F. L.
Woodbury's lot about 10 feet and the
sidewalk across the track has been NOV
ed about that distance to the north.
The small building near the creamery be-
longing to Oliver Bourke was in the
street and has been removed.
These changes were made in anticipa-
tion of the macadamizing of that section
of Portland street, which doubtless will
be accomplished next season, and the
new gate system which it is expected will
be installed by the B. & M. railroad
soon.

For the Sufferers in India.

The committee having in charge the
work that has been done throughout the
town for the famine sufferers, shipped
three barrels of clothing to New York,
Monday, consisting OF 100 new suits
and as many old ones, blankets, sheets
and quilts. Through the courtesy of the
railroad company these were sent free to
New York, and enough money had been
contributed to pay the freight from there
to Bombay. The committees and all
who have been interested in the work
feel that all have entered into it with
great earnestness and appreciate the
kindly aid received. Bishop and Mrs.
Parker sail from New York Wednesday,
and take these contributions in charge.

Academy Notes.

Everybody will be glad to learn of the
increased attendance at the Academy.
The school opened for the fall term last
week Tuesday with 242 registered on

every indication that this number will be
largely increased in the opening weeks of
the school. Excellent material has come
to the Academy from the outside world,
the new teachers have assumed the reins
of government with promise of great
success, and successful school year is
assured.

Lord Roberts never learned the art OF
debating his disbatches, and always has
to write them out with his own hand
His writing is, moreover, so very bad
that it can be read only by his aid, to
whose lot it consequently falls to "trans-
late" the orders into characters more
readily decipherable.

At SPRINGFIELD BANK
Cashier C|osSon Lost With
Knott & CIosSon.

Rutland, Nov. 2o.-A special to the
Herald from Montpelier says:
"a report is current here that G.
L. CloSson, cashier Of the First Ma
tional Bank Of Springfield, is 5000
short in his accounts. f. G. Field,
president of the bank, who represents
his town in the legislature, made the
following statement to Herald re-
porter:
Cashier Closson some time ago allow
ed his son G.. l.. Closson, ir., men,
ber of the defunct brokers firm Of
Knott s. Closson of Burlington, VT.
to draw S16, 900 from the bank giving
as security deed of real estate which
has since proved to be worthless. AS
the deed was made out to Closson per-
sonally his bondSmen have been called
upon to make the amount good. They
have asked that ClosSon be retained
as cashier while they are making an
investigation.
The credit of the bank is in no way
impaired and the institution is doing
business as usual.

Lord Roberts Sails Today.

London, Nov. 20.-Lord "Bobs' Is
definitely expected to sail today, for
home at Capetown, and rousing
welcome is in store for him. There
is some fighting Of desultory char.
acter still going on, which another
general can be trusted to take care
of. Lord Roberts would have had
the Beers entirely disorganized long
ere this had not his military policy
been modified to accord with Sir AL
red Miners political ideas. The
governor of Cape Colony advanced the
idea that as Beers and English would
have to live together in that land it il
necessary that the military operations
should provoke as little resentment as
possible. Gen. Kitchner is at pres
eht In command, but as he has got
along best when left entirely to him
rse.f it's probable that general 4 will
be found for the command who can
get along with Sir Alfred Miner more
cordially than the hero of the Soudan
can be expected to do.
