ALBANY.

The calf was but two months old.
Catholic church to be erected at East Al
bany is out, we understand, and part OF IL
framed. That society always builds well
when it builds at all; hence we infer that
this church will be an ornament TO that
part of the town. That it will be well fill
ed on the Sabbath there can be no doubt,
as there is no class of worshipers that are
so punctilious in attending church as they.
July FoURTH.-Franklin Pierce of So.
Albany writes us as follows: "The fourth
of July 1907 and 1908 occurred on Satur-
day, since which time it has been on Sun
day seven times, to wit in 1913, 1924,
1880, 1841, 1852, 1858, and in 1869 He
also adds that "the first Masonic Lodge in
the United States was in 1888"
BARTON.
New POWER PRINTING PREss.-We in
tend to enlarge the Standard about the LIST
of September to a size that will at least
equal anything in Northern Vermont, and
in anticipation of such an event have pur-
chased one of CampbelPs large cylinder
power presses, as the one we have is not
large enough. The press has arrived; is
now at the depot in this village, and will
most likely be set up this week. If we do
50, it is probable that we may be unable
to get out any paper next week, as 1t takes
considerable time to take down and box the
old one, and set up the new.
DEATH OF REV. G. II. BICKFORD.-We
are sorry to announce the death of Rev.
Geo. Ii. Bickford, which took place in this
village last Saturday evening, age "a years.
Ia his death the community lose a man of
superior worth and the church preacher
of more than ordinary talent, whose ear
nestness in the work to which he had de-
voted his life was such as to secure the I'M
divided love and esteem of the society over
whom he presided and the community
with whom he has had residence for lit
tie more than year. He had been sick
being great sufferer, which he bore with
exemplary patience; his death was easy,
calm, serene and triumphant, retaining his
senses almost to the last. twill be long,
long time before the church will receive
his equal. He is to be buried in the beau
tiful cemetery at st. Johnsbury.
TIPPED OvsR.-H. F. Pillsbury of So.
Barton, had his ankle put out oil joint last
Monday by tipping over. He turned his
wagon too short, was standing in a wool
rack and could not jump out.

CoRN.-There have been sixteen car
loads of corn unloaded at this depot from
May /, to July l. For the five months
previous to the first date, the number of
car loads deposited here was forty-fve.
This buying Western corn is what has
drained the state of its surplus funds.
BRUSHED UP.-Our depot master, ID. B.
Russell, who has been here for the past
two years, proves the right man in the
right place. He has slicked up all around
the depot, cleaned the track, carted of the
accumulated filth and rubbish of years, lit
orally cleaning the Augean stables" of
the railroad company, for which he de-
serves their thanks, with better pay
Among other improvements we notice a
new coat of paint. All the surround
ings look as though things in that quarter
were controlled by man of taste as well
as industry.
MORE TRoUBLE.-Our friend Horatio
I'VE is bound to be in trouble. 1t sticks
to him like a brother The other day his
horse was standing in front of w. +. Rob
inson's store very quietly, when all at once
he thought he would make things look
lively in these dull times. He therefore
proceeded to kick the dash board to pieces
and splinter the wagon as much as posi-
bic in the brief time allowed him. July Sd,
while on the fair ground, his little daugh-
ter stepped into puddle of hot water,
scalding her foot very severely. The water
had Just been turned out from a cook shop.
CAMPBELLs CIRCUS AND CARAVAN
This exhibition was disappointment to
us in the respect that it was far better than
we had anticipated. From what we saw
in the Express, copied from the Richford
Sentinel, we had been led to suppose that
it was somewhat of sham. Taking it to-
gether it was as good n show as was ever
here.
AoCIDENT.-As NJ. V. B. Cass was en-
gagged in telling Il tree last Wednesday, a
limb fell and broke his collar bone.
ANoTHER.-At the circus in this village,
on Friday, son Of John HaGord was run
over by a team and his collar bone broken

DRUNKENNESS AND ASSAULT. - One
VIM. r. Wheeler, painter now boarding
at Barton Landing, attended a gathering
of the young people at Wheeler's Hall, OF
the evening of July 5th, when, apparently
from the effects of rum, he conducted sc
badly that the lady who had accompanied
him was obliged to shun his company, and
find conveyance home independently of
him. Whereupon at pleased the devil
drunkenness to give place to the devi
wrath" so far that he drew a knife and mad,
warlike threats and demonstrations upor
several of the young men present. Ate
this Milton Day took possession of Vince
ler's team and found some one to take i
to the Landing, as the team was one fo
which Day was responsible. Wheeler con
