A very sad drowning accident occurred
here on the 18th inst, when Ira Earl
Holt was drowned in the Connecticut
river near Judge Fitch's meadow. Holt
was but Is years old. He in company
with Bert McLain and Harry Hanson
started about 7.3O o'clock that evening
to battle in the river, and in wading out
young Holt stepped into hole. As he
went down he shouted to his compan-
ions, but unfortunately neitheri could
swim. They went out as far as they
could and realizing they were unable to
render assistance, as Holt did not again
appear, they hurried back to Judge
Fitch's place and gave the alarm. Charles
Fitch and Michael Laughery promptly
responded and very soon recovered the
body in the hole into which the lad fell,
in less than eight feet of water.

We are glad to note the return of
Mrs. A. j. Moye and little son to Island
Pond. Mrs. Moye has had long illness,
during which she underwent surgical
operation, and her condition at times
was such as to cause great alarm to her
friends, but happily she recovered, and

Dr. John Mullen, of Portsmouth, N.

more pleasant from the fact that the
first year this paper was published at
Island Pond, 1878, "Jack," as he was

the staff.
| A petition, which has been largely
signed, has been presented the road
commissioner to build concrete walk
from the easterly end of the station
across Main street, also walk from
the end of the planking on the viaduct
along the curbing on the southerly side
and across Main street. These walks
are certainly necessary, and while there
are many places in the village where thu
sidewalk appropriation might be spent
the principle business street should re

A hearing in the case of Chas. Corbin
against the Grand Trunk Railway Co.
was held in the Office of Dale l. Amey on
Thursday Of last week before +. W.
Smith, Esq, of Wells River, referee.
The trial was of short duration, Corbin
being the only witness for the plaintiff,
and only thee witnesses being called by
the defendant. Arguments will be
submitted later on and the case will be
heard at our next October term of county
court, where questions of law submitted
by the referee will be deter mined.
The 9Th day of August is the time
appointed by the selectmen for complet-
ing the changes in highways and cross
ings in the village of Island Pond. By
virtue of an arrangement between the
town of Brighton and the Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada vast i'm
provements have been made in the vii
lage limits during the preceding year.
These improvements are perfectly appar-
ent to any visitor in Island Pond, though
his observation be most casual. The
viaduct for teams has been built at a
large cost, almost entirely by the Railway
Company. The overpass for foot passer-
gers opposite Cross street, also built by
the Company, is great convenience to
travellers, and restores the accommoda-
ton formerly enjoyed by the public.
The new passenger station is without
doubt the best in the State of Vermont.
Although the public and the Railway
Company are mutually benefited, the
latter has incurred nearly all the expense
in making these improvements. At the
meeting to be held August it is ex.
pected that the Railway Commissioners
will be present to make a final decree.
The authority is lodged in them by
statute to discontinue existing railway
crossings, to establish new ones, to
change highways at and in the vicinity
of crossings when the public good re-
quires, and to apportion the expense.
But for the purpose of fixing the matter
with a greater degree of legal certainty,
the selectmen have agreed to do all
things necessary, and to take all legal
steps necessary to effect discontinuance
of the highway grade crossing just east
of the old Grand Trunk depot, to dis
continue the grade crossing near the
Grand Trunk roundhouse, to abolish the
highway grade crossing next east of the
crossing last mentioned, to abolish the
"Reeve Crossing" so called, and to dis
continue the highway which crosses the
Grand Trunk tracks from point at or
near the crossing next east of the old
depot, thence extending by the Grand
Trunk roundhouse, over the Grand
Trunk tracks, through the eastern por-
ton of our village, along the shore of
Island Pond to the Jamon Perry crossing.

A lady doctor to an Indian hos

friends of a patient to allow her

Paper Stockings.

Paper gloves and stockings
are now being manufactured
In Europe. The stockings have
been carefully examined by
experts and they are loud
In their praise of them. Let
no one assume, they say, that
these stockings, because they are
made Of paper, will only last a few
days, for they will last almost az
long as ordinary stockings. The
veauOn is because the paper Of
which they are made was during
the process Of manufacture rem.

JAPANESE HOMES
Are Simple and Easily Constructed
Affairs Without Doors or Halls.

Are Simple and Easily Constructed
Affairs Without Doors or Halls.
A JapanesehOuse cOnsi in the
main of a post at each corner and
a roof, says the Detroit Free
Press. The roof may or may no.
be covered with heavy channelec
purplish tiles-it makes little DIFF
ference in the long run whether Il
is or is not, for if it is not tilse
the first typhoon that comes along
removes it into somebody's gar
den anything up to a quarter Of
a mile away, and if it is tiled heav-
ily enough to resist the typhoon
so much the worse for the people
underneath it when the first gen
uine earthquake arrives. But the
odds are that it will be burned
down before either happens, as
the Japanese use very cheap
lamps and very fiery petroleum
and are regular children about
fires. OF course something else
is done to the four posts and the
roof before they become houses in
which births, marriages and
deaths can take place. But really
remarkably little is necessary.
Cross beams are naturally added
to support the weight of the roof,
grooves are made in the cross
beams and in the platform raised
a foot or two above the ground
which constitutes the floor. A
Japanese house is all on one floor
generally-in fact, one might say
it is all on one floor. Between the
grooves in the floor and the
grooves in the cross beams are run
shutters with paper panels to di
vide the houses into whatever
number of rooms the owner may
choose, which depends on the
number of bedrooms he may re
quire, There are no doors or pas
sages in a typical Japanese house
In it every room acts as a passage
into the room beyond it and fol
. the door you slide back the pane
that happens to be nearest to you
For this sliding there are littl,
) bronze sunk handles in the wood
en- frames of the panels. The out
{ side paper shutters do not com.
+ quite to the edge of the platform
floor, the grooves along the edge
S are filled at night or in sever
weather with wooden shutters
each of which is held in its plac
by the one that follows it, the las
one being secured with a films
wooden bolt.
