Declined with Thanks.

At a business meeting of the board
of trustees of the Christian church
held on Oct. Goth, 1907, the following
business was transacted: Resolved,
That we, the trustees of the Christian
church, have never given our consent
to have the the name of the Christian
church used in connection with the
show called the "Noble Outcast." We
feel that the church and the theatre
are two separate institutions and
should not be classed together.
We do not do this to hurt the feel
ings or cast any reflection on any one
taking part in the show for we believe
everything was done with the best OF
intentions on their part and thanking
each one for the interest manifested
in the finances of the church, we
would suggest that the proceeds of the
show, such part as might belong to the
church according to present arrange
ments be given to the library or the
poor or some other benevolence, which
would be proper and worthy.
By order of Board of Trustees Of
Christian church.

A Little Earthquake.

Last Tuesday at o'clock in the
afternoon several people about town
felt a distinct earthquake, noticeable
by the rattle of windows and a quiver
of buildings. Those who felt it first
hardly realized that it was an earth.
quake, but when the matter was
afterwards discussed number recall
ed the tremor of the earth. At Wind
Cave Mrs. Rankin was guiding a party
through the cave, and heard what she
thought was thunder, and it was so
distinct that they discussed the
strange phenomenon, as Mrs. Rankin
had never heard a thunder storm
before while in the Cave.
After coming out she told of what
they had heard, but there had been no
thunder storm, and since the time
was precisely the same z o'clock that
the shock was felt here in town there
is no doubt about what it was. She
said it was heavy, rumbling sound
which all the party heard and they
halted and gazed upon each other in
amazement, and Mrs. Rankin says that
she was actually frightened, although
she did not admit it at the time
Those who felt the tremor here in
town say that it lasted almost 6
minute.

This play was we'll given Tuesday
night to packed house who thorough
ly appreciated the work of the young
people taking part.
Sickness and other causes made
some changes necessary in the cast of
the play only a day or SO before it
was given making it very hard for the
newcomers to do full justice to their
respective parts with almost no prac-
tice. The play was success Anan-

received, and much credit is due the
participants for the success of the

Early Days of Vermont Railroads.

During the construction OF the
Rutland and Burlington railroad, in
the years I848 and 1919, l kept a
store at East Clarendon and supplied
the workmen on several sections.
The work was commenced at Bur
lirgton and Bellows Falls at the
same time, says Newman Weeks in
the Rutland News.
In I849 when the cars ran from
Burlington to Cuttingsville and from
Bellows Falls to Ludlow, connec-
ton was made by stage across the
mountain.
The fist race between the Rut-
land and Vermont Central line oc-
Cured about that time in transport
ing light express and the mail. The
express messenger was Henry H,
Howe, then OF Ludlow, and he is
still living in New York, or was two
years ago.
The road was completed and con-
nection made at Ludlow, March 1,
184o. The last silver spike was
driven by the president, and grand
celebration was held at Ludlow. A
train of several cars came from Bos-
ton and a large train from Burling-

Atlantic ocean water and Lake
Champlain water mixed, and as ex-

was rolled out, head knocked out,

to have free drinks galore.
