In the death OF Charles H. Nor.

ton.

Work on the new building of the

River Junction is progressing very
satisfactorily and will doubtless be
completed on schedule time. The
Landmark says:
The site of the structure is on
Main street and next to the national
bank building the south wall of
which it abuts. The design Of the
new building was drawn by Archi
tect Louis Sheldon Newton of this
town and is of the Italian renais-
sance, style that has fine adapta-
ton t. a building OF its character
and intended purpose. The general
contractors are Fuller Il Dean also
Of this town. The estimated cost of
the structure is SIP, 800, and its COM
pletion will be fine addition to the
towns commercial buildings.
The exterior of the building will
be of red brick with Ohio sandstone
and granite trimmings The build
ing will have frontage of IS feet
and depth OF 60 feet. The first
floor will contain the banking rooms
proper, treasurer's office and trus-
tees room. The interior finish on
this floor will he in curly red birch
with beam ceiling. The counter
grill work will be verde antique and
an artistic panelled wainscot will be
placed around the rooms. The
safety vault to be installed will have
an inside measurement of seven by
ten feet. The second floor will con-
tain two suites of offices of two
| rooms each and one of the suites will
be for the town clerks purposes.

The Luck Of Two Incorporate Cir
cus-GOers.

The circus-day adventures of "A
couple of men who had lapsed into
intempcrance might easily have been
turned into tragedies,
One of them-not from Woodstock
was thrown into an empty box car
by his irresponsible companions, who
locked the door ON him. The victim
shouted with all the strength he had,
as long as he could, and fortunately
his cries were heard, as he was re-
leased in a very limp and almost
lifeless condition, the car being
deadly hot and unventiIated. 1t is
probable that he would have been
dead in an hour or two,
About the other man more thrill
ling story is told. lie hailed from
North Pomfret, and ON his way to
the circus left his team at West
Hartford Returning, in company
with other hilarious spirits with n
humorous turn of mind, he was
loaded into his express wagon, his
head under the seat and his feet
nging out at the rear. To make
sure, however, that he wouldn't fall
out, a rope was put around his neck
and tied to the wagon, and i'll this
plight his horse was headed home

1t was the "jags' luck to arrive
safely, the stcadincss and sobriet y
of the old horse preventing a TRACE

almost surely resulted fatally for the
unconscious occupant Of the wagon

PROPOSED NEW FREE DELIVERY
ROUTE.

1t is very probable that another
rural free delivery route will be es-
tablished from the local postoilice
Woodstock now has but one route
and there is much territory in this
section that could be covered by
carriers to the great convenience OF
a large number of people. The pro-
posed new route starts on the South
Woodstock road, turning up at the
Dearborn park road, taking in that
neighborhood and Philip Langley's
place, a large part of the route be-
ing in Hartland, and returning to
Woodstock by way Of lIartland hill.
A. n Russell of lIartland has had
the petition in hand and has secured
nearly if not all the required num-
Der of signers, all the residents
along the line favoring the new
route.
