copy in crtensio from the Times the
account OF the arrest of Mrs. Potter, and
the recovery of stolen goods from Pot
ter's house. AS Potter is known here,
the interesting account will therefore
have an additional interest for many of
our readers.
GRANT CLuB.-It will be seen by
notice printed in our columns that the
Committee appointed some time ago to
report upon an organization of It Grant
Club in this place have issued call for
Il meeting, at which meeting their re-
port will be submitted. We welcome
GLADLY this evidence of action, and hope
that it may be the fOrerunncro of success.
How far action in this matter has been
prompted by our timely articles, and by
the silence of our venerable cotempo-
rary must remain subject of con lecture,
of course but we have the consciousness
of having fulfilled duty, without
"hopc of fec or reward If the club
shall be put in operation, with live"
men rs its officers, we arc sure it may be
the means of doing much good in the
campaign. 1t will be an organization,
of which, if work is needed, work may
he expected. We hope there will be II
full attendance to hear and act upon the
report of the committee.
BUTTER DAY is always lively in st.
Adams, but yesterday it was unusually
So Lake and Main streets were unu
sually crowded with men, women and
children, with vehicles of all kinds.
Teams oftcntimes completely blockaded
Lake street, and for some moments IL
was impossible to pass from one side to
the other in safety. Lake street is not
near wide enough for the comfortable
transaction of business on market days,
and this fact il becoming more and more
apparent; but we suppose there is no
remedy for it for the present. Yet the
fact is suggestive to those who have the
superintendent of opening new streets.
There is little danger of getting our
business streets too wide.
GONE by HONOR I'm the list of Of
ficcrs of the Grand Lodge of Vermont,
published in our paper on Friday last,
occurs the name of our townsman, Park
Davis, Esq. Mr.. Davis was elected
Grand Junior Warden, which is the
third position in rank in the Grand
Lodge, and one of which he is highly
deserving, and therefore which we are
pleased to find has been conferred upon
him. Mr.. Davis is the present Master
of Franklin Lodge, St. Albans holds an
official position in Champlain Chapter,
and is so well posted in Missionary that his
name was suggested for Grand Lecturer,
an honor which his duties would not
allow him to accept. He is ALSO as we
need not say, perhaps, Il capable law
yer, and good citizen, and has the con-
tidence of people outside of Masonry rs
well as inside.
A friend, n competent judge, who has
been there recently and knows whereof
he af1irms, says that the place for good
dinners is at the Hotel at Highgate Cen
tire and when we are Informed that tho
landlady is none other than daughter
of the late Henry Stinehour, who fol
many years kept such an excellent ant
wide famed hotel at Highgate Falls, We
are sure he is correct.
