Parsons, the deservedly popular Irish
lecturer, has place in almost all Of tn,
lecture courses in Vermont, this year, SC
very happy were his efforts last year
And everywhere he draws full houses
! The local papers, where he has been 81
far, are quite as enthusiastic this season
about bis lectures as they were last year.
Accordingly we shall expect full house
at Academy Hall, next Monday evening
Remember there is no postponement on
account of weather.
The frst-class magazine, "OLD AMI
New" published by Roberts Brothers
Boston, one of the best literary magazines
10 the world, can be obtained by sub.
scribers Of the REGISTER, who pay for
1874 in advance, for the low price of SO
The regular subscription price is 81 pei
year. For the benefit of these who are
unacquainted with this magazine, we will
say that it takes rank in its literary and
general character with the Atlantic
Monthly, although it is hardly SO ponder
Gus and heavy. Those who desire to take
advantage Of this offer must make appli
cation through this office.
V-P. b. Goodscll, formerly of Char.
lotte, graduate of Middlebury College
in the class of 1858, for some time prnci
pal of the Bellows Falls High School, thcr
connected with the Boston Trarellcr, but
latterly of the firm of Goodscll, Budillor
e. Co., of Boston, has been indicted or
three indictments by the United States
grand jury in that city. The charges OF
which the indictments rest are that Tho
firm has for long time past got its glove!
through the customs at large per cent
less than their value, and at a less price
than any competing importing house
could buy them and import them from
Naples,
Our friend and sometimes assistant
Mr.. r. M. Tobin, of this place, has al
lowed his ambition to have newspaper
ent erprise of his own to develop until il
has ripencd into the acceptance of an op.
por tunity. He has associated with Mr..
Hiram NJ. Mott, the present editor of the
Brandon Union, and they have pur.
chased that paper and will take formal
possession on the LIST proximo. Mr.. Mott
has already proved his tact in successful
newspaper management, as well as IN his
gu driving efforts, and with the addi
tional impetus of Mr.. Tobin's fresh en-
ergy aud righteousness, we may conf
deutlv predict larger measure of sue
cess to tho enterprise than ever before
BUnoLARy-A daring burglary was
prepetrated last Sunday nj ht at the resi-
dence of Mr.. James Il Negus, on Pleasant
Street. On Monday morning when Mrs
Negus arose, she discovered evidence o
the presence in the house of parties who
had no right there, and on further inves
tigation, found the floors covered with
the stumps Of burnt matches and other
debris left 10y these nocturnal visitors
They stole and carried off two silver drink
ing cups, five silver napkin rings, quite {
number of solid silver spoons and one
set OF plated ware, amounting in value tC
$95. They also took satchcl in which
to carry off their plumber, and visited the
pantry helping themselves 10 milk, cold
turkey, and peck Of doughnuts. Nc
tracks were discovered in the snow which
are likely to lead to the discovery of the
guilty parties. We have no further
particulars at hand
