authorities in pursuit of the liquor traffic
and its victims, occasionally raises laugh
at their own expense. Last week poor
fellow afflicted with the ST. Vitus' dance,
was espied by couple of these worthless,
when forthwith he was beset to divulge
the whereabouts of the ardent. His per-
sistent, but honest denial of having i'm
bibed was disregarded, until some one ac-
quainted with his misfortune informed the
officers Of their mistake.
HISTORY OF THE MIssIsoUoI VAL
LEY.-We learn hat the people OF Troy
voted on Tuesday last to procure the
printing of the history of the Missisquoi
valley at the expense of the town, pro-
vided it could be done for $4,000, and
provided also that the work upon exa-
mination proves satisfactory to the COM
mittee appointed for the purpose. AS
to the latter proviso, there can be no sort
of question as to its worth. The author,
Mr.. Sumner, is one of the ripest scholars
in Orleans County, and has had album
dant means TO write correct and reada-
bic history of that portion Of the county
of which he is a resident. A portion of
the history was published a few years
ago in one or two of our state papers,
since which time it has been abundantly
revised and corrected by himself, as well
as by Rev. P. II. White, Rev. S. r.
Hail, and other gentlemen connected
with the Historical Society of this coun-
ty. Great pains have been taken to get
an accurate and interesting history of the
Missisisquoi valley written, because it is
the intention of the society to have the
history of the whole county printed as
soon as possible, and as this is the pioneer
to the rest, no pains have been spared
to make il what ii should be. We have
been engaged to print the work, and shall
enter upon it as soon as the copy is fur
nished u.s..
