of them was Moore formerly of Bslti.

was arrested some years since and after
wards convicted of larceny, and sent TO
State Prison, and becoming insane was
from thence sent to the Asylum at Brat
tleboro Making his way to Mt. Holly
where he committed theft and was ar
rested and sent to Jail at Rutland. The
authorities of the Asylum says the Rut-
land Herald, learning of his arrest, sent
for him, and the gentleman who came,
went to the Jail. accompanied by the
Chief Of Police, Crawford, to take him
to the midnight train. They found a
prisoner dressed in the attire of the in
sane man, whom they took out of the
prisoners room. He kept both arms be-
fore his face and refused to take them
down. After repeated orders to take
down his arms, and they got ready hand
cuffs, and on removing his arms from his
face, 10 and behold it was not the right
man, but another prisoner who had put
on the apparel of the insane man. At
ter hearty laugh at the joke they re-
manded him to the room, and found the
insane man quietly lying in his berth.
He was of course aroused and compelled
to put on bis clothing and proceed to
the train. 1t was too good joke to
keep Of course.

most pleasant associations of our com.

TO take Montpelier in their way. Ar.

the street being located Just east of the
Capitol. In the State House all visitors
Will be sure tn feel an interest, especially
IN the State Cabinet and Library, to say
nothing of the historic battle flags which
hang in the halls and rotunda. The Can
ltol we understand is open to visitors
during the summer months. The drives
are pleasant about Montpelier from
which you can make trip to Mt. Mans
field if you wish, and return the same
day. The business of the place is large
and attractive, and the tourist cannot
fail to feel satisfied with his visit. The
Pavilion hotel, by the way, is now kept
by Aldrieh & Hersey, who furnish first
class tables for their guests. Mr. AL
drich was formerly resident in this sec
ton where he is fav6rably known having
formerly been resident Of Walpole and
Westmoreland, N. II. For many years
the Pavilion has always been our home
when in Montpelier, and we have always
found it pleasant. Recently we met the
new proprietors for the first time, and
take pleasure in heartily commencing
them to the tourist and travelling public.
AT all events don't fail to call at the
Capital during your summer round.
