journal, at Windsor, and the numel
Gus other editions thereof, nervou
article headed Newspaper Items.
The real object of which was undoubt
eddy to touch.up certain newspape
correspondent Tor correspondents, )tha
occasionally contribute "local" an
other "items" from Windsor w
hope the able and profound author G
that sharp, exquisite and most brill
ant production feels better now tina
bilious load is removed from hi
stomach. For biliousness it is sal,
produces spleen, Immature, and cap
tiousness, generally. Whether tn
waspish article now under considera
ton was the work of the sedate persol
who acts as editor in chief of Brothe
McIndoes various newspapers o
was the work of an individual who ha
not been satisfied with hardly an,
thing done in town since his (yearling
defeat as candidate for Town Rep
resentative, is not a question that W,
propose now to discuss.-lf the articl,
was the work Of the acting editor, hi
ought to be most thoroughly ashamed
of himself, for it is a piece of dirty
blackguard and underhanded abuse
We know that the Journal has used
the ''locals" gathered up by the cor
respondent or correspondents to whom
it so unfavorably alludes in the article
under consideration. Until the publ
cation of the "Windsor Items, il
newspapers away from Windsor, the
papers published there by Brother
Mclndoe, did not contain but q little
if any fresh news from that locality
Even now other papers in the State
contain more reliable news from that
vicinity than do those published there
This perhaps is the reason why the
Joumal is so squirmish in regard ia
the furnishing Of Newspaper Items.
The only thing that those who furnish
"Windsor Locals" for the papers de-
serve a "smart castigation" for, is,
that they did not give the public a
true account of the "smart castiga-
tion,' which certain young man re-
ceived in a public shop in Windsor,
on a Friday morning, not long since.
Why that ''item" was not given per-
haps some of those connected with
the Vermont Journal establishment
can guess.
On Saturday evening last, the
Windsor Cornet Band gave Prof.
Frank A. r. Packard, "Serenade'
at his residence on Bridge Street, and
were quite liberaly entertained by him.
"Frank" is member of the Band and
not unknown to the musical public.
Intelligence was received here
last Monday forenoon announcing the
death Of Abner Forbes, Esq, of St.
Adams, who died early that mon
ING. He was native of this
place. Mr.. Frbes had long been
prominently connected with the
business department Of the Vermont
Central Railroad, and for quite nun
Der of months had been in feeble
health.
The frame of the new Baptist
House, is now nearly all up
The timbers OF which it is constructed
appear rather small for such a large
sized building. But us the ''mach-
inc is to be run 10y water it is no
body's business if they are so.
The Rev, Y, L. Day, of Holy
oke, Mass. supplied the pulpit, at the
sod South last Sunday.
Prof c. II. Tarby has returned
from Ludlow, and has resumed bust
ness here at his old stand, which is
low being fixed up as a first class
shop. Prof: Tarby will always be
glad to see his old friends and all the
new ones possible.
Our Democrats and Conserva-
ives Of Windsor and vicinity, are
ceiling quite encouraged over the
gains which we have made in the
alitornia election held last week.
The Radicals will cheat us out of
