WEsTMINsTER.-Ata town meeting
ofthe people of Westminster held last
week, it was voted to pay each drafted
man from that town who goes into the
service, bounty of 500. We believe
this also applies to those who procure
substitutes. The vote was passed with
out dissenting voice, and is highly
creditable TO the town. Old Westmin-
ster goes in for supporting the govern
ment, and her ancient reputation is not
likely to suffer at the hands of her pres
ent generation - BsHows Falls Times.
