 Allen McClegan, IT, son of Mr. and Mrs. John McClegan, had an exciting experience last Friday. He boarded an afternoon freight north bound, and at South Monson jumped while going at a good rate of speed. A companion, Alex Ostrowski, also of this town who was with him jumped at about the same time. Mo- Clegan was quite badly hurt. He was bruised, had bad scalp wound and was unconscious from ooncussion. He was attended by Dr. McQuaid of Mon- son and later brought to his home here. He is no doing we'll and will have no permanent injury. Ostrowski was not hurt.
 After haying the South I.ondont derry, Vt.,, boys like to take in the annual excursion to Newport. Joy on these occasions is practically un- confined, and as rule the Vermont boys carry their liquor in an unobtru- sive manner. Robert Julius and a friend proved exceptions to the rule- and were put off here last Thursday night for breaking windows and other boisterous conduct Robert was be- for the court Friday and Judge Heald made it five and costs. Being unable to pay the defendant was sent to Tol- land. The friend, who was put off with Julius, made a successful get away. =

 The Central Vermont pulled off one of those old fashioned excursions to Newport Thursday. A committee of the smart set of the famous Rhode Island summer resort was at the dock to meet the boat and extend vel come. The committee included Mrs. Vanderlipper, Miss Lemonsqueezer and Mrs. er-Smythe. Miss for the summer colony delivered the address of welcome. Eli Parizeau of Stafford Springs re- piled with a few we'll chosen words on behalf of the visitors. MT. Parizeau said in part, Members of the committee and citizens of Rhode Island On behalf of Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts we wish to thank you for your splendid welcome, and compliment you on the neat and tidy appearance of your city. It makes me think of my home town, Stafford Springs, where civic pride runs very high and no chickens are allowed on the front piazzas. We have the best amateur ball team between New London and Brattleboro. Our m ineral spring water is known the world over, and while I have never tried any of it myself believe it is harmless. Our annual fair is known and spoken of with respect wherever the stars and stripes float. I take this opportunity to invite you one and all to be with us next month when we tear off this annual amuse- ment event.'' MT. Parizeau was given three hearty cheers and the party entered the automobiles for a tour of the city. Every body enjoyed the excursion and the delegates from South Londonderry, Vt., got the most for their money. They left home at 3. 30 in the morning and did not get back home until o'clock the next morning. When you can keep going nearly 24 hours by land and sea for one dollar and fifty it is going some. Add to this one fifty for a sealed quart and it is still costing less than |15 cents an hour for unalloyed pleasure.
