work from the custom department of

creditable to the workmen and convincing

nice boots and shoes as We are pleased to

too, when compared with the prices of.
similar work by city workmen. You can

The sermon at the Methodist Church
Sunday morning was a review of the
events Of the last year with appropriate
reflections thereon. In the afternoon,

from life on the ocean, entitled The

course showed the preacher to be well in
formed in the life of a sailor. Next
Sunday he will preach on the " Three
fold Cord
At the Congregational Church, Mr..
Hooker delivered a powerful discourse on
the duty Of the church to labor with the

We have received from the Clare
mont Manufacturing Co. Publishers. "A
copy of Walton's Register and Farmers
Almanac for 1871. This little volume
has become an institution which the peo-
pie of Vermont can hardly do without.
1t contains much useful, and som useless

we presume to be tolerably accurate but

Middlebury directory gives Barker a. Co.
as the only dry goods firm in the village,
while s.. Holton and II. w. Brewster are
made dealers in Millinery, and Vallette,
Beckwith 4 Co., II. Il NJ. Langworthy,
Langworthy Il Bond, Chapman Bros.
&c., are mere grocers. All of the
