A DEAD BEAT.-Look out for an i'm
poster and dead beat. A Proctorsville
correspondent describes him in the Rut-
land Herald of Tuesday. He is short
thick-set fellow and has woman with
him whom he calls his wife, and pretends
to be an Indian doctor. At Proctors
vile he called his name CDR. j. &. Cas-
we'll" As usual he was patronized by
the credulous and attempted to run
away without paying his board, but was
caught and paid up. This game ne
played successfully at Fairhaven before
coming to Proctorsville, and on Satur'
day person arrived at the Island House
in this place answering the above des.
scription, and registered himself as " DIR
Dickinson" He was accompanied by
his wife" After running up a bill o.
few dollars he left without paying the
same, as was supposed for Walpole. Ht
is no doubt dead beat and rascal of the
first water. Pass him along as rapidly
as possible.

new company that wins this time belong

deserved reception. They returned on
the morning of the 9th. A handsome
5oquet was presented to the foreman and
smaller one to each of the members,
by Miss Rose Elliott, as they passed her
fathers house. AT the engine house a
large part of the people of the village
were gathered to welcome the company
with abundant cheers from the men and
waving of handkerchief from the wo-
men. Short speeches by the foreman
William Bowe, by the assistant, John
Sergeant, and by Rev. j. Chandler, clos
ed the reception. The company was
formed last year, made its appearance
outside of the village at the parade in
Brattleboro, June Goth, where it bore of

Celebration at Chester.

From three to FIVE thousand people
thronged our streets the " Fourth" All
was peace, harmony, and good will to
woman. The programme was admirably
carried out under direction of Chief
Marshal G H. Hilton and his assistants,
Messrs. Robbins, Fletcher and Powers.
Mrs. Edna j. c. Noble, the accomplished
elocutionist, read the Declaration. Rev.
A. B. Flanders delivered the grafton,
which was a masterpiece of eloquence,
with sentiment and patriotic fervor.
The two bands of music, the Grafton
and Londonderry, discoursed fine music
during the day, and many were the words
of praise we heard bestowed upon both
bands. We are especially partial to the
Grafton band its courtesy and liberali-
ty, fine street bearing, and splendid in
struments won for this band most COM
plimentary comments. We shall be sur
prised if our holiday and festival COM
mittees do not hereafter give this fine
band their orders.

A SwINDLE.-The Newport Express
says: This paper and others through the
State, have had an advertisement for
four weeks of a hand sewing machine
for $3.50, and warranted to keep in
order for three years, etc. A citizen
of this place sent for one which proved
to be nothing but common shoe-mak-
er's sewing awl, worth about five cents,
so the thing proved to be perfect swim
die. We refer to the matter so that 9TH
ers may not be caught. We have occa-
sion quite often to reject advertisements
sent us. but with all our vigilance. the
Objectionable will sometimes creep in.
There is nothing on the face of this to
show but what it is all right, though
the price looks small for a machine to
last three years even. We received il
from one of our most reliable advertising
firms, and with them supposed it to be
all right. We only wish the punishment
due to such an unmitigated scoundrel
could be melted out.

HOMICIDE IN ORANGE.-Monday last
Johiel Golf and Lemuel Platt of Orange
got into dispute about some hood-wood
that came down the river during the
high water caused by the showers for a
day or two before. Both claimed the
wood, each asserting that it was on his
land. On COTS attempting to draw it
off, they went from words to- blows, and
during the melee Golf was so injured by
being kicked in the bowels that he died
the same evening; the trouble occurred
in the morning. The next day the pa
pers were issued for the arrest of Plat,
and Orange county will now have an
other trial for homicide, being the fourth
in immediate succession, two having oc-
CURED during the present term of the
court in that county.

Shall Bellows Falls have IA Cemete-
nv?

Mr.. EDITOR has been said
for many years past, about the absolute
necessity for cemetery in Bellows Falls
but nothing has been done to meet this
necessity. Shall we content ourselves
with talking about it, and doing nothing
till every desirable location has been APP
propriated for something else? Efforts
have been made to get citizens who are
interested in this matter, to meet togeth-
er and look over proposed sites, but thus
far, these efforts are attended with very
poor success. The town voted at our
last annual meeting to purchase land for
cemetery for Bellows Falls, and au-
thorized the selectmen to make the pur-
chase. The selectmen have tried to in
duce the citizens to meet them and indi-
cate their wishes as to the locality. They
promise to do so, but when the time APP
pointed comes, fail to attend. Mr.. Edi-
tor are you not interested in this matter,
and can you not say something and do
something to arouse the people on this
subject CITIZEN.
We confess that we haze felt consider
able interest in the above project, and
last year after having called attention to
it several times, meeting was announc-
ed, to be held on the grounds proposed
for cemetery, and we attended "solita.
ny aud Alone" with one of the select.
men. That meeting was very unanimous
but not sufficiently large to take the res
possibility of giving expression to the
wishes OF the village. Since that time
other efforts have been made to interest
the people in it but thus far without sue
cess, unless it be a success that one man.
(our correspondent above,) attended with
the lonely selectman another meeting
last week ON the grounds, where we pre-
sumo affairs were as unanimous as OIL
the former occasion above alluded to-
Now Will some one else undertake to an
swer why so little interest is felt among
our people on this No one denies the
need, and the old cemetery cannot last
long even for che use of the society who
control it, while majority of our popu
lation have really no place to lay away
their dead and unless more interest il
manifested in the proposed new cemete
ry than has yet been shown, we shall Ger
tainly have reason to conclude that oul
people have arrived at the opinion ex
pressed by one of our citizens who dice
last year, and who is reported to hav'
said that, to him, it was matter of nj
consequence whether he was buried Of
not when he died, but that if those b
left on earth, for their own convenience
chose to bury him, they could do so.

KILLED BY BEARs.-Messrs Howard
and Wilder, of Stratton, recently had a
nice two year old heifer killed by the bears.
The hide and few bones were found
about mile from the pasture, where it
is thought she was chased before being
caught. The heifer was killed in or near
the road leading to the Kimball meadow,
so called.
