also said, "If you are to take the tariff

restrictions and let us have Chinese

figures in regard to the profit on paper
would indicate that he has to sell 45t

Not long ago was performed In Wash

The bridegroom was sixty and gray.
His bride also was sixty and gray.
Both were as happy as they were
when as playmates they looked for
ward to an early marriage.
When James Gaffney enlisted as a
private in Company K, Fifth cavalry,
of Washington and rode away to up
hold the cause of the Union he left be-
hind him a young girl. but he carried
| with him her promise to wed him as
soon as the war was over. Gaffney re-
NAMED a soldier from the beginning
to the end of the war. When he return
ed to Washington he was unable to
find his sweetheart.
In his disappointment he drifted
away from the city and finally located
in Pittsburg. In few years Gaffney
married. and he did not return tc
Washington until six months ago
When he did so he was a widower
He had been there but a short time

Gaffney called on his old sweethear

East of the eastern siding just men,
toned is a road, which l am told be-
longs to the Rutland railroad company
and not to the village. At present this
road is in a bad state of repair. 1t should
be considerably improved.
At the south end of the station
grounds is grade crossing which forms
the principal approach from the village
to the station. This crossing is in poor
state of repair also, and needs general
cleaning up. Moreover there should be
safety gates established at once on this
crossing.
1t will be seen that most of the i'm
provements here recommended are to bt
made on the grounds of the Rutland rail
road. In my judgment they should be-
made by the Rutland company. Every
railroad company should take reasonably
good care of its own property, and this
is only what is now suggested for the
case in hand. l think it may fairly b'
assumed, that when the citizens of Mid
dlebury make known their wishes to tn,

some earnest effort is being made to i'm
prove the conditions in other parts of the
village, the responsible officers of the rail
road company will do their part toward
improving the present very unsatisfaC
