In common with other localities, we
had a severe storm on Sunday night
and on Monday. The wind blew at
furious rate for fully "a hours, and in
many places the drifts were high. The
train went out at about the usual time,
but did not get back until about
O'Clock p. m. Aside from the blowing
down of trees and the breaking OF
limbs, we do not hear of any particular
damage.
William b. Clark. who has been in
the butchering business two or three
years. has decided to move from town.
and we understand that he has bought
the stage route from Jacksonville to
Brattleboro and will move to the for
mer place. He has sold the meat
business to Carl Johnson who has
been in his employ for some time, who
will also move to Jacksonville, run
ming a cart to this place twice each
week. We are very sorry to have Mr.
and Mrs. Clark leave town
Passengers on the evening train
have been annoyed more or less for a
long time by those who go to North
Adams and become intoxicated. On
Friday evening there were two or
three in this condition and from the
tunnel to Monroe Bridge the condition
was anything but pleasant for the pas
sengers. The worst one of the lot left
the train at that place and one contin-
ued to Wilmington where he found an
officer awaiting him who conducted
him to the Office of O. f. Butterfield.
where Justice Warren r. Boyd decid-
ed from the evidence that the party
was intoxicated and imposed fine Of
s. and costs. amounting to Sl676 in
all. which was paid the next morning.
1t is to be hoped that there will be no
further cases of this kind.
