More than the usual number of chang
es in real estate have taken place here this
spring. A class of very desirable citizens
have lately bought places and taken up
residences in or near the village. Among
those that have come to reside here this
spring, or have made arrangements to
come, are Asa Kidder of Wardsboro, Alex
ander Fairbank Of Wilmington, John Hol-
brook of Townshend, DIR. Woodbury. of
Brattleboro, c. p. Stone of Saxtons River,
and Chester Rand formerly of Townshend
There is plenty of room and welcome for
more of the same average sort. If there
were ever any old fogies here that used to
cold-shoulder all new residents that failed
to meet their high approval, we do not be-
lieve there are many now.
Mr.. Holbrook, successor to Winslow IL
Park, is Il worthy young man just COM
mencing business for himself, We think
those who patronize him will find him
truthful and honest,-an excellent capital
with which TO commence trade, when COM
bined with the other kind, which will not
be wanting.
&C. p. Stone has moved into the County
Iy0use, made vacant by the removal of Mr.
Evans to Brattleboro. Mr.. Alex. Fairbanks
has moved into the house lately purchased
by him of DIR. Miller.
The premises of the late Mrs Lois Lv-

The fiftieth anniversary of the we'd
ding of Mr.. John and Mrs. RoXana Wheel
er was celebrated mt their home in this viii
lage, March LIST. They were formerly from
CheGterheld, n. IT,, but for - years have
been residents Of Newiane. They were
married by Rev. Abram Wood, the first
settled minister (congregationaD of Ches-
teriicld. Mr.. Wheeler is G. and Mrs.
Wheeler is years of age, and both hale and
hearty. They are are the parents of Hon.
IL. II. Wheeler, Judge of supreme court.
There were present over 40 relatives on
this festive occasion. Four of their chill
dren were present and three were absent
Rev. MIR. Shurtleff made remarks and
prayer; c. Il. Barrett entertained them
with sweet music, and the hours passed
pleasantly. The guests brought many nice
presents, remembering the bride with a
loaf decorated with golden coins, as well us
several garments of utility and beauty.
But days however pleasant, must pass
away, and so It's the old story, that all
present enjoyed the time; and although
such an occasion can occur but once in their
lives, yet as years roll on years. memory
will often live over again the bright days
in life, still looking beyond to the future
with the hope that is still brighter and
which outlives all earthly joys.

the country? That is all there is to It and
am only surprised that we should have
had this morning, upon mere matter of
business convenience and expediency,
which disgraces no man, which Is not in
tended to disgrace any man, but merely to
carry on in the most convenient way the
business that VIC are charged with, this dis
play of opposition to 1t.
why sir, when | hear my friend from
Massachusetts, mr. wilson, and the Sena-
tor from Missouri mfr. Schurz] making
these displays about mere matter Of or
binary convenience, 1t reminds me of the
nursery story of the children who thought
the sky was going to fall, and II turned out
In the end that IL was only rose leaf that
had fallen from the bush to the ground.
why, sir, this Is the smallest of all posi-
bic things, unless II Is magnitied by report
A majority of the Senate, or of party in
the Senate, have thought 1t convenient that
an honorable and respected gentleman
holding one place on one committee should
be transferred to another place on another
committee for the purposes of their bust
ness and that Is all there is to II. OF course
you can initiate II into thing that Is to
shake the nation, MS my friend from Mis-
souri, with his eloquence does; but that is
all there is to 1t. / disclaim for one and
protest against for one, the insinuation OF
my friend from Missouri that anybody
here has either been affected by any presi-
Dental or other improper influence, or has
been approached by any such influence
except ms the fact has come to us that II
was necessary for the convenience of tho
transaction of our own business that We
should select such agents as could carry OF

The Republican triumph in Connecticut
is ample evidence If any were needed-of
t he disappointment which is destined to
overtake those who have been 50 confident
~ predicting the downfall of the Republic
can party, in consequence of the recent ex-
hibition of personal feuds existing between
some of its leading members. That these
differences should exist in private, and that
they should have no inconsiderable infiu-
ence in the direction of public affairs, is
but natural but that they should be 80 ca
gerly seized upon, and forced into tenn
porary magnitude wholly disproportionate
10 their importance, is at least unfortunate.
We have always admired Sumner, and
have usually endorsed the course he has
pursued in regard to public measures ; and
in the San Domingo business he has doubt
less assumed a position in which the coun-
try will uphold him, although in his earn
estness of speech he may have "slopped
over somewhat yet neither the bitterness
of his feeling toward the administration,
nor the action of the Senate in displacing
him from the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on which he has so long and ably
served, will permanently affect the exist
ence or welfare of party whose principles
have not been betrayed, and whose mission
is yet unfulflled.

If the example furnished by the vigor-
Gus efforts of the State government of Tex
as to suppress the Ku-Klux, were follow
ed In other States, there would be less need
for Intervention on the part of the General
Government. A year ago Texas was in
tested by rufians to greater degree than
any other Southern State. 1t appears by
the report of the adjutant general, that on
the LIST of July, 1870, there were 1900 Grim
inals evading arrest in 1903 counties, OF
whom 702 were murderers, and 443 guilty
of assault with intent to kill. At that time
a special mounted State police was organ
lied under the control of the adjutant gen
eral, composed of 1876 men, who went TO
work to hunt down these criminals. BY
the LIST of January, 97s of these criminals
had been committed for trial, and the work
has since been vigorously prosecuted, so
that very few criminals are now at large,
Ku-Klux outraRes have ceased, and a feel
ing of security is felt where some months
ago no person deemed himself secure in
person or life.

holding up the lcrrors of the law in ease
the appeal il unheeded. The document Is
signed by sixty-six of the most respecta-
bic and influential citizens of Bellows
Falls and evidently means business.
The Times of last week says; The
spring opens IN this place with fine bust

ing the dam, they have invested n large
amount of money. These improvements
are to be continued, some by them and
some by other parties. During the coming
season two paper mills will be built, the
work being already begun. Mr.. A. C..
Moore is removing his mill ut Bartunsville
to this place and will manufacture wrap
ping paper. Another mill will also be
built by other parties, but it is not decided
who will carry on the business or the kind
of paper they will make. The machine

AT the annual meeting of school dis
trict No. 6, in Wardsboro, it was voted by
large majority to sustain and ratify the
acts of their prudential committee in re-
moving their teacher, Mr.. II. Harris, from
school and procuring another in his stead
to finish out the term; and also voted to
pay the committee for their time and other
expenses incurred therein by locking up
the school-house and defending it against
the attacks of those who had twice broken
the locks and forced open the doors, and
met third time for the same purpose, in
order TO give Mr.. Ii. the possession of the
house that he might proceed with the
school. We are glad to learn that the dis
trict are still willing to abide by the law,
and will sustain those who enforce it, and
walk in the path of rectitude and reason.
