One on Country Railroads.

1t is in the Springfield Republican
that some fellow perpetrates this
about the narrow guage:
City people learn things when they
go into the country. Thus a Spring
field man writes: We have all heard
a great deal about the accommodate
ing way in which the small railroads
running through New England, fire.
quently stop trains along the out
skirts of a rural town to take on or
leave passenger; but funny little
incident occurred the other night on
the narrow guage road which runs
from Brattleboro to Londonderry,
Vt. A middle-aged woman, evident
ly some farmers wife, while leaning
out of the window to catch breath
of air, dropped set of false teeth
| from her mouth. Itwas with difficulty
that the poor woman was restrained
from jumping from the moving train.
The train stopped about a mile away
in order to wood up," and the own
er of the lost teeth Immediately
trudged down the track to hunt her
lost property. In about 20 minutes
the train was ready to proceed, when
we were all surprised to find the train
backing off toward Brattleboro. The
conductor informed us he was going
back for his other passenger, and
sure enough, we met her half way
back waving her hand in which was
clutched the missing "store teeth"
Talk about your accommodating
conductors! He got off his train,
helped the poor woman aboard, look
ed over her recovered property, saw
the teeth were not injured, and then
pulled the bell cord to go ahead.

An informal meeting was held here last Sat

talked up. The speakers were Messrs Wilcox,

Mr.. Tucker explained the quality of the as
bestos here which he says is equal to the rich
mines of Thetford and Black Lake, Canada.
Mr.. Wilcox spoke of the benefit to be derived
from railroad here. Giving us a market for
our hard wood lumber, of which we have a
very large amount, and no way of getting it
to market also of the summer visitors we
would be sure to get to our beautiful sheet Of
water, which he says as summer resort is
equal to any in the state. Mr.. Blossom gave
an idea of the cost of a road. Mr.. Powers
talked at some length on the subject ex
planning the matter of bonding the town
how to do the same TO the best advantage
and the manner of operating the road, al
together ma4ing it seem to many that VIZ
would derive benefit that would make our
debt seem lighter to bear No mention o
the exact amount asked was made, but somt
where three or four times the present grand
list. Considerable interest is shown by the
people, all want the road, but the burden o
the tax necessary to pay the bond is an OBJ
stacle hard to overcome, although it may
not be impossible to bring it about.
