Railroad Developments.

Renewed interest has been given to the
railroad situation the past week. A con-
sulting engineer of the Boston e. Maine
railroad was in town Friday to secure
quarters for IL engineers. These men
arrived Monday and began work survey
ing on the proposed route from Brattle-
boro to South Vernon, through Hinsdale
1t is understood that the plan is to
change the route for about two miles be-
ginning at Ashuelot river and going
north. keeping the track farther from
the river. Nothing can be learned from
authority, but this move, and the fact
that the men are construction engineers,
strengthens the belief of our citizens that
the railroad will be built on this side of
the river

three-fourths of the animals sold by
him go into wealthy families as pets and
companions of children.
