GREENsBoRO.-The town of Greens
boro has voted to take $4,000 stock
in the Lamoille Valley Railroad.
That road is bound to 60. But what
a crying spell there will be for some
of the Lamoille folks when they come
to pay their taxes. But then she is
"spunky."

Tuesday evening last, the question
of ouiarging aud 1Upuir ing thU oUnuUI
house was agitated, and the clerk was
directed to call a meeting to see if
the district would vote to remodel
the house. We think, however, that
this will not be done this year, as the
calls upon our generosity are very
frequent.
DR.. Miles, Dentist at Lyndon in

uONC1 W
BARTON IMPROVEMENTS There is
to be considerable building and brush
ing up in Barton Village the coming
summer, more than in any previous
year. Mark Nutter is going to build
a now houoc. o,~, ,y,, tire Ant ann \
W. Drew and NJ. Burnham are also
going to erect new houses on the new
spot near the Fair Ground. Capt.
Little is going to put up a new hotel,
A by 80 feet, and three stories high,
with two wings some 60 feet in length
each, and one Of them is to be three
stories high. He does not expect to
complete it this summer. Then the
Fair Ground Co.'S, buildings and the
fences &C., will make considerable
business.
The Congregational church and
society also voted On last Tuesday to
move their house Of worship to the
vacant lot near the parsonage, to en-
large it to the extent of 16 or 20 new
pews and to otherwise improve the
edltice. The estimated cost of the
removal and enlargement is $500.
Some $500 of this sum is expected to
be raised from the sale of pewS, and
the remaining $1,000 is to be raised
by voluntary sub5cription-$850 of
the latter sum being already SUBSIDIZED
When we consider that the society
has just completed $4,000 parsonage,
raised their minister's salary by ad-
ding 5000 to it, we think they deserve
to be called liberal. Barton people
may have their faults, but stinginess
is not one of them.
CONFIRMED.-Chas. r obin son
long the (im) moral pest Of Newport
and adjoining towns, has been ap-
pointed by the President, Consul
to Quebec, and strange to tell, has
been confirmed by the Senate. This
is positively outrageous-as much so
as it would be for the Senate to con-
firm Yallandignam as minister 10 any
European power. No more rank
copperhead ever lived in Vermont
and Kissed his treason than this same
Chas. Robinson. After this the Sen.
ate need not spend their time nor
waste their breath in impeaching the
president of "high crimes and mis-
demeanors," for he has perpetrated
