The Bridge Question.
BARRE Times

1t was a considerable misfortune
which Brattleboro and her sister town
on the New Hampshire side of the Con
necticut river sustained in the carrying
away of the carriage bridge by the fresh
eta misfortune attended with the ele-
ment of tragedy in the loss of human life.
The bridge was put in at a cost of SO 900
nd probably cannot be replaced by an ex-
penditure of $4,000 at the present time.
Coming at a time when municipal cor
porations in Vermont are already beset
bv heavy demands for expenditure, this
financial setback is doubly depressing
ut is a contingency against which every
town or city has to prepare itself either
bv adopting a policy of looking for the
unexpected or by fortifying itself in 8
financial way, or both. Oftentimes-
more often than not-a city or town i
not able to have a contingency fund K
meet unusual expenses. We presume
Brattlebor0 has 40 such fund in this in
stance, but it does have the possibility o
| partial restitution through legal actor
J because of the raising of the level of th'
| Connecticut river through the construc
| ton OF q dam in the river south of Brat
| tleboro.

nent persons of the southern part of this
county state that it is not a fable or
SNAKE story" in regard to n monstrous
snake having been seen in that COM
munity.
They declare that the reptile, which is
from twenty-five to thirty feet in
length and as large in proportion. has
been seen several times during the last
few days.
Work has been almost abandoned in
that locality and the men, armed with
guns, are searching for the monster.
A calf belonging to Robert Bishop Of
that neighborhood was killed by the rep
tile, it is said.
The entire population Of the community
has become much alarmed about the
snake, fearing that it will do great dam
age to stock.
The only theory that can be advanced
by the residents for the appearance OF
such a snake in that locality is that II
has escaped from some travelling show.
