the board Of trade of that city the pre-
vious evening: THE question of an ear
Tier train from this city to Brattleboro and
Bellows Falls was referred to the COM
mittee on transportation. 1t Is hoped TO
secure train that will leave this city at
or o'clock in the morning so as to ac-
commodate the travelling representatives
of Springfield merchants and give the
Vermont cities better mail service. At

Ii O'Clock in the forenoon, so that IL is
afternoon before the mail is distributed

day. Such an early train means much to
Springfield merchants, and the board OF
trade will earnestly consider any and all
means of bringing about a lettering OF
