Source, Rutland, Vt.Daily Herald--Thur.Oct.27, 1887. WEST RUTLAND. A handsome "regulator" timepiece, from the jewelry store of George M. Hascall, has been hung in the vestibule of the postoffice. The evening mail closes promptly at 8 o'clock , as the mail train is now due at this station at 8:16 p.m. The ladies of the Congregational society are preparing to give a "wash tub drill" in the near future. George Ripley presented Post Sennett fair, now in progress, with two beautiful pictures yesterday. A fine monument of the purest Italian marble, erected to the memory of the late E.R. Copps,has been placed in the Catholic cemetery here. A special meeting of the selectmen was held last evening to take action in regard to the articles voted at the late town meeting.
