BRIsToL.-This place has become a
banner town since the murder of Thomp-
son. Every one appreciates the quietude
of the streets at nightfall, and only the
rush for the hall of Good Templars calls
the people out to any extent. Last week
we had a reading given by Miss
Angie M. Lamb, who teaches elocution at
Montpelier. Miss Lamb led US from
grave to gay, with wonderful ease, and
power, showing great talent in her art,
that future practice may develope to a
national fame. She also read at New
Haven to an sppreciative audience, car
rying by storm of applause the key to
their noblest better natures.
The weather is hot and dry, too dry
for planting, farmers think, while pastur-
age will not pay its dividend to the busy
grazers satisfaction. yL.C.

KEENE, n. H.-Keene is growing
about as rapidly as any town in New
Hampshire. Two new manufacturing
companies are soon to go into operation,
which will make the place still more
busy. About one hundred new buildings
are erected here annually, on the aver
age. The projected railroad connecting
with Manchester, n. H., is much needed,
and is likely to be built to the public ad-
vantage. This town is in some respects
the finest in the Granite State, and it
never looked better at this season, which
is some two weeks in advance of ordinary
springs

ANOTHER FIRE AT LUDLOW. - By
singular succession of misfortunes the
village of Ludlow was again on Sunday
afternoon the scene of fire, although not
of 80 serious a character as those we have
SO recently chronicled. The fire broke
out in tie dry-house of the wollen factory
which was speedily consumed, but fortu-
nately no further damage was occasioned.
The loss resulting from the fire we are
unable to state, but it is believed not to
BIZ very serious.

Decoration Day.

At the regular encampment of Post
Roberts held Friday evening last the ar
rangements for the observance of the COM
ing Decoration Day were perfected. The
meeting was fully attended and much en-
thusiasm was manifested-all uniting in a
common desire to ftly celebrate the day.
The following committees were ap-
pointed

The committee on flowers solicit the
usual bounteous donation of flowers from
the ladies of Rutland, and will also take
charge of all special offerings, requesting
however, that card with the designation
of grave for which intended be firmly at
tached to all such, as paper loosely pin
ned on has heretofore caused much doubt
and uncertainty on the part of the
decorators.
The committee for the finding and
marking of graves particularly request
that any person knowing the location of a
soldiers grave not decorated last year,
will at once inform the chairman, J. H.
Dyer at L. G. Kingsley's store, Mer-
chants Row, or some other member of
the committee as may be most convenient,
that the list now being prepared may be
as perfect as possible.
All old soldiers, whether members of
the organization or not, are cordially in
vited to fall in with the Post, and they
are desired to wear their respective corps
badges upon this occasion.
All the public societies of Rutland have
been invited to participate in the exercises
of the day, and it is hoped that the people
generally will SO far as they may be able
aid in rendering this, which is fast becom-
ing a great national holiday, a suitable
testimonial to the gallant dead who sleep
their last sleep among US, who have
fought their last battle for US. C.

ing Mrs. Royce. Mrs. Sampson escaped
with slight injuries.

Government Lands In I0wa-Only
100000 Acres Left-The sales
Made, and Hemesteads Taken
In October.

The Sioux City Journal of recent
date has the following statement con-
cerning the sales of government
lands in the Northwestern part oi
Iowa:
The following facts and figures
compiled from the records of the
Sioux City District Land office, will
give our readers an idea of the ra-
Pidity with which the public lands
are being taken up. During the
month OF October there were claimed
as follows: all homesteads, Al, ,76l,
66-i00ths acres, ll9 declatory state.
ments, III 900 acres; 20 final home

64-l00 acres land for cash, 1 20 43.
100; military bounty land warrant,
l60 acres. Total, 65. .059 5O~I00 acres.
The following figures show the
receipts of the Office during the
monili ef 0rf0ber' Fees on Geclara

The number of homesteads taken
I'm the past month exceed the same In
any previous month since the Office
was opened. In this manner more
than "A 900 acres were claimed. Add
to these lands sold for cash, scrip,
&c., aud the total number of acres
taken In this district for October
amounts to over 62. 900 acres. AS on
ly about quarter of q million OF
acres now remain unclaimed, at this
rate we may calculate that by the
first of May there will not be ten
thousand acres OF government land
left In Iowa.
Uncle Sam has divided his estate

children come out here looking for
farms next summer, he will have to
send them over the Big Sioux to Da-

for three thousand families, and
when these are tenanted people must
leave Iowa to find free lands.

On the Fashion.

The following items are said to be
In vogue now concerning fashion:
The chignon's reign is ended.
Turban hats are more in vogue than
ever.
Trimming on the front of dresses
Is revived.
Bonnet strings are wider and very
much longer.
Little soap locks on the side of the
face are out Of date.
Sack overcoats with capes will be
the styles for boys.
The plated Garabaldl waists con.
tinue to grow In favor.
I The hair is worn less frizzy and puf.
fy than last season.
The hair on the temples continues
to be worn high and smooth.
Frizetts and short curls on the
forehead are more popular than
over.
Plated and twisted comets of hair
are to supercede the Pompadore
roll.
Shoulder seams are still high and
short, following the line OF the
shoulder.
Not much change In bonnets, but
they are large and mere cottage
shaped.
Felt bonnets are TO be worn for
weather suits. by those who do not
like hats.
The short skirt for walking cos.
tune IL still to be retained by sensi.
women.

and strode across the street TO the
widows relief ALAS! her one Gu

the hoofs or the foe, and the bristly
creature was now making descent
upon the cabbages.

He was away after the enemy,

and, giving an unexpected lunge,
dashed between the parsons long
legs. upsetting him completely and
knocking his glasses Off his nose.---
