Fletcher is entitled to great credit for pur-
chasing the cotton factory property which |
for the last few years had been running |
down, and putting it in complete repair for |
business.
Mr.. Henry S. Putnam has put in new
machinery and leased it for a term of years,
and is now doing profitable business in
the manufacture of cotton yarn and bat
ting.
Rev. Mr.. Granger, agent of the State
Temperance Society, gave a very able and
practical address in the Methodist church
on Sunday evening. The house was full
and the audience seemed to be well pleased
with his effort. There are very few men
that lecture upon the subject, that COM

clearly than Mr.. Granger, and we think
through his labors the cause will receive
new impetus.
ANOTHER RAID on ELLIS SALOON.
On Thursday afternoon Sheriff Trip and
others from the police force, armed with
the right to search, visited this place of en-
tertainment for man and "beast.' The
Sheriff placed a part of his force between
the saloon and barns, that there should be
no connection between them without being
observed. On entering the saloon the Sher-
if commenced reading his message of "By
authority of the State of Vermont. to Mr..
Dix, while the boy Broussa started across
the back yard pcll-mell, with large white
jug, which he hadn't time to cork, contain

other trophies
After the reading was concluded, the
Sheriff searched the premises ''ardently,'
but found very little whisky. He, how
ever, found fresh barrel of beer which
was rolled out into the back yard They
then went prospecting for new lead, y
and proceeded to search the houses of the
propretors of the saloon for the main de-
posts. They found nothing in the houses,
and proceeded to the barns. After search
ing through the stalls, hay-loft, bins, etc,
they found that a barrel of whisky had
been put into dung head but in the haste
had not been covered sufficiently TO be en-
trely out of sight The "crtter' was
seized by the officers and eXhumcd from
where it had been so hastily inferred.
Policeman Waller was placed in charge
of the barrel by Sheriff Trip, while {
team was being procured to cart it to {
place of safety. AS soon as the Sheriff
left, Dix appeared with axe in hand, fol
what purpose it was quite uncertain. bu
it was soon asccrtained that his main objec
was to use his Hcrculean strength to smasl

By this time large gathering of men ant
