EAST WALLINGFoRD.-Th grand oc
casion of the season, the dedication" par
ty at Warmers new Hall, came off OF
Thursday evening last, there being tw,
hundred couples present, Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather for the pre-
vious few days. On the night in question
the weather was all that could be desired
The tables prepared by mine host" War

this region, if not in the county or State
Nothing occurred to mar in the least thu
festivities of the occasion, except that two
men from Rutland who boosted of havine
brought liquor with them, besides having
obtained more of the fiery liquid of par
ties outside who were engaged in selling

protest against the sale. in such close prox.
unity to the Hotel on occasions like this
of that which changes man to a beast
and an equally strong protest should be
entered against such characters as were
those who came from Rutland, who con.
spire to destroy the enjoyment OF those
who neither desire their company mol
wish for an acquaintance with such as
was the case on the evening referred to-
We regret that any such man should have
a wife, or that any such should be abroad
on such an occasion. We will mention
one case, the wife upon listening to the
circumstances against the conduct of her
"liege lord" replied that "peopls who
keep hotels must expect and submit to
such. We pay our bills and expect to do
as we please" and similar expressions,
but we opine that they both learned there
was quite difference between expectation
and realization.
We are informed that within radius
of two to three miles liquor in abundance
could be had Of at least five or six. Dur
ing Inc nlgnU "a ulsgraceIui ngnt occurred
at the saloon of E. A Cutler, during
which glass bottles were freely brought
into reqnieition, bcridos filing the night
air and making it hideous with their or
gies and fearful oaths. Such language as
proceeded from their foul lips is diss race
full, and woe be to any community whic h
tolerates the existence of that which either

lage? Actions which speak louder than
words say no.
Some injury was done to the craniums
of several, rs we learn from the veteran
survivors Bottles and other missiles were
used quite freely, but one unfortunate fell
low who was suffering from. broken arm,
some how became mixed in the affair and
was set upon by some one or more of the
prize mon q and had his arm rebroken or
terribly torn. So much for bad company.
Qnery-What did Mr. Cutler keep or
rather sell that night, to so terribly upset
those who were at his place They were
as brave lin worlds and furious set of
men as we ever heard, Judging from their
conversation.
Query No. 2.-Is it possible that women
sell rum, especially in this part of Yer

The funeral of Mrs P D. Hart, notice
of the death Of whom, appeared in the
obituary column of the HERALD, on
Tuesday or Wednesday of this last week,

One of the finest looking buildings in
town is the new and spacious Carriage
Shop, now nearly completed, of Messrs.
Earle and Williams, 40 feet squore. The
ground floor will be used as blacksmiths
shop, the second floor is to be occupied as
a wood and paint shop. The need of this
branch of business has long been felt in
this locality, and now that it is being sup
piled, we wish its projectors that success
which their enterprise demands. They
seem to be men of energy and enterprise,
Just what is wanted in every village.
We notice in our rounds for items of
news, that T. w. Emery has opened an
eating saloon in the basement of the Post
Office building, where he is now supplied
with fruit of alPkinds, oysters. and such
other "fixings" as are good for hungry
man. This seems to be needed, as
there was no place in the village where
one could procure such articles as he keeps
and as all desire.
