The annualre-union of the Officers Societ,
as every one knows, is to be held next week
but it is still more pleasant to understand
that the ladies of Bethany Church will pro,
vide the supper for the occasion. Their hos
pitable doors will also be opened to receive
such Of the guests as cannot find accomoda
tions at the hotels and who do not wish t.
revive their bivo hacking experience.
We regret to learn that D. NJ. Camp, the
capable Clerk of the House, has been absent
from his desk a few days through indisposi-
ton. We hope to see him back again very
soon thoroughly restored to health.
A lively shock of an earth quake was felt
in this vicinity about half past five O'Clock
last Friday morning. Doors were swung
aja-, aud light articles were ratified about
considerably. The same shock was felt all
over New Englnd and as far cast as Halifax.
4 neat and convenient foot-bridge has been
built at the site of the Union House bridge
carried AWAY by the food We hear that the
Selectmen have called on our builders to
make proposals for the re construction of all
those carried away. They are to be con-
structed mainly like the old ones, only more
substantial and higher above the water.

The Vermont Mutual Insurance Company
have moved into their new and splendid
building, though it is not yet fully finished.
The necessary nuisance they have occupied
during the summer has departed to a more
remote part Of the village.
HARD TO BEAT.-Wil liam Norton Of West
Berlin has this year raised sixty bushels of
ears of sound corn on three-eighths of an
acre of land. No extra pains was taken
with it, and the soil was generally loan.
Who has done better than this?
OvERTURN.-Mr. Samuel Andrews of W or
c%ester, while going from Montpelier, Oct. IS,
with a horse and wagon, was thrown from
the wagon by the horse taking fright and
turning around. Mr.. Andrews had his hand
somewhat bruised, and his horse ran about
half a mile, pretty efEectually smashing up
the wagon.

HERNDoN & LEsLrE's Opera Troupe, SO
well and favorably known in Montpelier, and
elsewhere, as a first class theatrical company,
arc again favoring lovers of the histrionic art
by nightly Entertainment at Village Hall.

Y. X. Brown of Montpelier has sold out
his interest in the retail drug business to his
partner DR.. Woodward, and will now, we
learn, give his attention to the wholesale
business, and especially to the sale of Browns
Bronchials and Browns Tcething Cordial.
The sale of the Bronchials has INCREASED IN
til it has become a large business of itself;
and this increase is owing unquestionably to
the merits of this remedy for hoarseness and
throat difficulty. 1t is one of the best medi-
cines for public speakers and singers, who are
especially liable to throat affections, now in
use, and has received the most unqualified
recommendations from the many who have
been benefited by it.
NEW CAR.-The Vermont Central has
placed upon the Montpelier branch, TO ac-
commodate the extra travel during session,

constructed at the Car Shop, St. Adams, I'M
der the direction of NJ. NJ. Sessions, Esq,
the efficient foreman. The painting and or
namenting was done by Mr.. w. w. Culver,
the accomplished foreman in the Paint Shop
