H., for principal of our High School

'obituary' on DR.. Cotton was under
stood by some persons to have been
given seriously, and to mean that the
Doctor was no more. How anybody
could take that view Of the thing
passes our comprehension, for accord
ing to our ability, it was as ridiculous
as possible but we hasten to assure
such, in solemn earnest, that the DR..
is alive and well, and to the best of
our knowledge, happy. He was simp-
ly a few days slow in returning from
his visit to Boston, and we gave his
"obituary" as he had jokingly told us
to, in such an event. We were sor-
ry to learn that his delay was owing to
sickness, but he is now at his office
ready to attend to those in need
of his skill, as usual

One of Benningtons citizens under

cellar kitchen. But when the man
and his boy undertook to catch him,
he jumped through the window and
vanished. "Therc, you cuss,' said the
citizen, ''go and be darned-that's
