PRoCToRsvILLE.-Ed b. Evans,
lately an operative in Balcom's factory,
not the worst intentioned young man in
the world, but nevertheless very unman.
nerly when under the influence of the
last nights dance and bottle of whisky,
was brought before Josiah ellison, Esq,
on the 18th inst, on complaint OF Grand
Juror Morse, and fined $5 and costs for
the luxury of taking three or four drinks
from the "big bottle" of one of his associ-
ates. The young man actually supposed
it was mo body's business how often he
got drunk" but after having received
some information from the court in that
regard, paid his fine and left for the new
Democratic State of New Hampshire.
Amos f. Grain has advertised his
homestead and sundry articles of personal
estate for sale at auction on the 25th inst.
and intends moving to Bellows Falls. The
Mrs. Riggs and Lewis have fitted up a
very neat apartment in the front part OF
their dwelling house on Main street, and
have moved their stock of goods from
T. w. Johnson's store into their new quar-.
tiers. These ladies, by their industry,
honest dealing and fidelity to business, de-
serve the patronage of ladies DESTROYS Of
purchasing fancy goods in their line.
Fred W. johnson is about to reopen
his shoe store at his old stand, to deal in
the best article of boots-custom made
and honest sales only.
-Messrs. Whelden 81 Peck continue at
their accustomed shop (the E. F. Parks
place. as dealers in stone, iron and tin
ware, and if ever industry and devotion
to business merit success, they certainly
come within that class, and will succeed.
The lad Charley Reynolds, sent to the
Reform School at Waterbury a year ago
for idleness and precocious mischief gen.
orally, has returned, and looks well, be-
HAYES we'll, and is well. Though but a
dozen years old when he went away, yet
he was more ignorant and could use more
tobacco, dirtier language, and make his
friends more trouble than simpletons of
twice his years usually do. But his term
at Waterbury has shown him the differ
ence between good and evil, and the boy,
unless be falls again under the influence
of bad men or vicious youth, is saved. We
have known more than one instance where
lads of tender years have been led to re-
e LIZ
But the fault has been with our Msgis-
trates, that they have made the term of
residence for the destitute. ignorant and
unfortunate tyro in crime sentenced by
them, too short. As the operations of the
institution aud its beneficial results are
becoming more fully known, and as the
Legislature of October, 1870, among The
very few sensible and praiseworthy things
they did, have provided for the erection
of new buildings and better accommods-
tions at the School-the means to be thus
placed in Superintendent Fairbanks
hands will enable him to accomplish much
more and permanent good than has been
possible heretofore.
Mr.. Hiram Giddings, very respect
able and aged resident among our people,
is in declining health, and tremblingly
lettering toward the grave. Mr.. Giddings
in the war of 1912 was an active privateer,
and did what he could on the highway of
nations to aid his country and bring dis
comfort to her enemy. He was taken
prisoner, and was confined in British
prison for many months, carrying marks
of his cruel treatment on his person to this
day, but by the wording of the late law
granting pensions to the veterans of 1912,
he is excluded from it's benefits. This is
another instance showing how difficult it
is for general law to meet all particular
cases of a meritorious nature.
Many of our young people are attend
ing Black River Academy at Ludlow this
term, under the management of it's gen.
tlemanly and thorough Principal, Mr..
Gifin.
The prospect of large yield of ma
pie sugar the present season is very good
indeed. With no snow to impede the
Iaborer, our farmers cannot fail, in such
season as now prevails, to reap rich re.
ward for their tolls in the sugar orchards.
There is no doubt but the sugar pro-
duct of Vermont, especially in those
towns away from railroads where wood is
cheap, is the most valuable, in proportion
to the capital invested and time and labor
bestowed, of any production of the State.
MANCHEsTER.-The Journal says the
Mountain mails must run to Manchester.
There is great delay in correspondence
