Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1869-04-06

REFERENCEs.-Wm. K. Montgom-
cry, and Sabin A. Clary had hearing
last week before Amos Drury and
VIM. B. Sawyer, referees, in regard
to matters Of dispute between them.
Montgomery took Clary's farm for a
year on certain conditions. Clary
thought the conditions not fulfilled.
Result: quarrel in settlement-bit-
ter charges on both sldes-law-suit-
reference-payment between them of
nearly 500 cost-and general feel
ing that each got his due.
ARREsTED.-One Henry Blake of
Stannard was arrested few days
since by constable Wilson, on a charge
of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. of G. S. Page of Hydepark,
The matter was finally settled to
Pages satisfaction, and the prisoner
released.
Some seven or eight persons, most
of them heads of families, have left
this town during the winter to re-
connoitre at the West with view to
location. "Westaoard the Star of En-
pire takes its aOay."
During the first quarter of the pres
ent year, four deaths have occurred
in town-two being upwards of IS
years, and two less than 25 years of
age.
Fl. S. Tolman has recently purchas-
ed large tract of the Dartmouth
College lands in Wheelock.I The "Er-
press" has measured it and calls it
1900 acres. 1t is valuable land and
will probably soon be brought into
market by the railroad.
A SHAME.-Almon Chadwick (who
perhaps is known where rum is Sold
has a stock at his barn of some Is or
20 head, with no hay, straw, or grain,
of any kind to feed them. During
much of the winter, it is said, tire able
bodied men have been members of the
family, but have neglected to make
proper effort to procure fodder neces-
sary to winter out the stock, until now
in their necessity the roads are impas
sable, and they are obliged to depend
upon what they can get daily from the
nearest neighbors on a hand sled
Why should the dumb beast thus be
made to suffer through mans improvi-
dence. "1AS q man soaCeth so shall he
also reap"
GOOD.-It is thought that the "rum
hole" which we attended to a few
weeks ago is now pretty efectually
stopped.
Cow LosT.-Hon. B. Cummings adds
another to the list of valuable COWS
lost by disease.
HARDWICK.
RAILROAD. - The people of this
town are to hold a meeting to see if
the town will swap off its bonds in
the Lamoille railroad for shares
There is muckery in the enter prise Of
bonding the towns to build ra ilroads,
so many think, and so think we, as
we have before expressed, and we
guess the new dodge Of changing bonds
for stock is but one more turn of the
screw whereby the people are to be
heeced. We think it was a sorry day
when any one of the towns voted to
bond itself to build the road. Now
remember what we say.
GRADED SCHOOL.-The people at
Hardwick village, district No. ~
are wide awake for a graded school
At their last annual school meeting a
committee of five was elected to in
vestigate the matter, and report to the
district at an adjourned meeting.
New SHOP.-Messrs. Wheeler &
Mack have opened a marble and gran
lite shop at Hardwick where they are
doing frstrclass work. They are
both experienced workmen, and no
doubt those wishing to purchase a nice
monument or head stones, and get
what they engage, will find it to their
advantage to give them call.
