BRLiGERANT.-A very incorporate war has
broken out between Rev. L. II Stone, ex-sec-
rotary of the Vermont State Temperance Soci.
ETY., and Rev. W. W Atwater, editor Of the
Vermont Witness, the temperance organ OF
the State In the last number Of the Uitness
Mr.. Atwater answers an open letter from Mr.,
Stone, and pitches into that gentleman in a
manner which must be refreshing to every one
except the party answered. We don't pretend
to know much about the merits of the contro-
yersy, but must say we think there is room
enough for all to work in the great cause OF
temperance without such unseemly erimina-
tlon and recriminaton as this

PEAcHAM.-For our issue of week before last
We received an item stating that the keeper Of
the poor-iarm in this place, named Hobart, had
beaten and so abused boy ON the farm that he
subsequently died. The report added, " Hobart
has fed - Upon investigation we found the
report unlounded, and declined publishing it,
The facts of the case are these Last winter a
boy named Bllaw who was living with Hobart
who formerly had charge Of the farm, died Of
heart disease, and but short time after he had
been cruelty beaten, because he pretended tc
be sick, Hobart has recently busted " fol
California, which revived the talk about him
and probably started the murder story The
physician being called to a neighbours, and the
boy happening in there, the neighbor suggested
an examination, to see If tho boy was sick
when the fact that he was about gone with the
heart disease was inevitably discovered, ant
the overseer was informed how the case stood
but he took no notice of it, and the boy dieC
in about four weeks.

MoRRIsyILLE-On Wednesday morning Of
last week, when Mr.. II. H. Elmore opened his
grocery store, he found it had been entered
during the night, and three or four dollars,
mainly in five cent pieces, together with a
quantity Of oysters, cigars, beer, etc. extracted
therefrom. Wednesday night he left no money
in the store, but next morning found evidence
of the store having been entered, and some
small wares taken, as before, and so on Fri
day morning it was again evident that his
night customers had not withdrawn their pat
ronnge, whereupon he determined that If his
store was to be kept open nights, he would be
there himself, or by proxy, TO tend it. So he
secured the services of Deputy Sheriff Hardy,
with W. C. Allen as an assistant, and they
secreted themselves in the store, but only
waited twenty minutes before they were called
upon by one Albert Meacham, of Hydepark,
who proceeded to help himself to such eatables
and drinkabes as bis appetite demanded-run-
ming more especially to drinkables, in the
shape of some sort of beer. The sheriff soon
notified him that he was procuring his supplies
at unreasonable hours, and in an irregular
fashion, and invited him to go with him and
await the return of the proprietor, next morn
ing. This Meacham is man thirty or thirty
five years old, and is about as contemplate
looking specimen as is often come in contact
with. In his testimony before q justice court,
on Saturday, he alleged that n Mr.. Ruff:
Clark, of Morrisville, had entered the store
with him on the three first nights that he
CLARK took the money, and that both took
part in carrying off the goods. lie also said
that Mr.. George W. Montgomery, Of Cady's
Falls, had agreed 10 meet him and Clark in O
piece of woods just out Of the village, on one
of the nights mentioned, and that he was t.
bring with him two girls but that Montgom
cry and his nymphs had failed to appear
Upon the testimony Of Meacham, Clark and
Montgomery were arrested, but the latter wa,
discharged without a hearing, and Clark
whose antecedents have been at least doubtful
was discharged after short preliminary trial
there being but little testimony to corroborate
the story of Meacham, which was evidently
false in some particulars, and so Of little value
in any way. Meacham was bound up In tb,
sum of $500, and in default Of bail was com
mitted TO the county Jail, to await the actor
Of the grand jury at the next term OF thu
county court.

OLD LANDMARK REMOVED The past week
has marked the destruction Of one Of the few
old landmarks left in this village Ia order to
make room for the erection Of his new block
Mr.. James Il. Langdon has been obliged to
tear down the old bank building of the Mont
pelier National Bank, on the corner Of State
and Elm streets. This building was erected in
1896, under the direction of Col. Thomas Reed
the then cashier of the bank, and it has been
occupied for banking purposes from that time,
continuously, until the recent removal Of the
bank to is new quarters 1t is undoubtedly
safe to say that no building in Vermont has
ever been the repository of larger amount Of
money, nor is there probably any building
where more numerous or important financial
transactions have been carried on. 1t was, too,
for a long period, the general headquarters for
many of the prominent citizens Of this section,
and of those from other parts of the State
temporarily sojourning here, and many mea-
sures of State policy have been originated
within its walls, while the discussions on the
tariff, revenue and banking measures Of the
general government have been numerous and
able.
