as the ally of the Christian. 1t is the
climax of all argument which proved this.
The preacher showed next how such an
ally was to be secured, and gave synop-
sis of the book of Romans to the eighth
chapter.
He then gave sketch of the leading
events in the life of the apostle up to the
time of writing this letter, which showed
that Paul well knew of the truthfulness
of the text. He finally showed that the
fact of the text was the great necessity
for every man in this world. We need
God on our side.
-Middlebury never was so gay as
she is at this time of writing Every
morning at sunrise she dresses herself in
her most gaudy and attractive attire
green seems to strike her fancy, while at
times she tinsels herself with gold. She
really looks well in green Her "water
fall" although pretty large is none too
large for her proportions. Her waterfall
in practical institution, one that is use
full as well as ornamental. AT early
morn, and late at night, the musical hum
of the busy planners in the factories make
music for persons of enterprise, and all
nature seems to put on her laughing and
pleasant smile, at the new evidences of
thrift among us
These mills are hard drinkers and yet
they take nothing but cold water. We
fear that through this "dry spell" they
have come nearer exhausting the supply
upon the falls, than the rum-suckcrs have
the supply of rot-gut whiskey in the rum
dens.
The Addison County Agricultural
Society, by its officers, has concluded to
have their annual fair as usual. They
have set the time Sept. 26, 81, and %.
They have made arrangements with the
Playground Company by which there
will be only one party in interest, as to
proceeds OF the Fair. the Agricultural
Society taking the whole responsibility
and paying the Fair Ground Co. rent for
the use Of the grounds. 1t is thought
the prospects of a successful fair are bet
ter than usual. 1t is no doubt valuable
institution for the farmers and mechanics
of Addison County and we hope it will
receive from the people the encourage
ment and support it deserves. We pub
lish the premium list on the 4th page of
this issue, to which we would call especial
attention.
RuNAwAy.-A gentleman from Fair
haven, named Williams. had the misfor-
tune to be the victim of a runaway. near
Mr.. Hopes ON Court Street, last Satur-
day. We understand that the crossbar
broke, the horse became unmanageable,
Mr.Wiliams was thrown out and dragged
some distance. and at length the horse
with the wagon moved off toward East
Middlebury at full speed. Deacon Ell.
dredge of New Haven, helped Mr.. w. to
find DR.. Day, who dressed his wounds
and in otherwise acted the Good Samar-
tan. The worst injuries Mr.. W. received
were several severe cuts and bruises about
the face and eyes One of his eyes was
at least greatly endangered, though the
doctor thinks it is not permanently in
jured. We have not learned what be-
came Of the horse.
With all our hotel facilities, the in.
Aux of city visitors is so great in our
town that many have been unable to OBJ
tain places and rooms. Many of our
citizens have generously opened their
doors and taken them into their houses,
and thereby formed pleasant acquaintance
which will last and be cultivated for years
to come. One feature we have noted
in our summer visitors, that they seem
to he of more refined and cultivated
class. They seem to come here from the
crowded city for relaxation and rational
enjoyment, and as far as we are able to
judge, find it in the cultivation ofnew &C.
quantances, taking pleasant drives to the
many places of interest within ten miles
of our pleasant town, to the trout streams
in Riptcn, to Bread Loaf Inn to Snake
Mountain,to Lake Dunmore, boating upon
the creek and getting together in little
social parties and eating cc-cream and
chatting and romping in our parks with
the most artlcss and child like freedom
&c, &c.

painted, the walls have been neatly pa
