TEMPERANCE AGENT.-Betweeu the err
mont state Temperance Society and Rev. L.
H. Stone. late state Agent. there seems TO be
a,seriou- misunderstanding but whatli i all
about Is a matter studiously kept from the
public y new agent was appointed at the
last annual meeting. but still Mr.. Stone
continued his work and allowed people TO
consider him as the agent Of the Society.
Ii was under these circumstances that he
visited this county during the past
past winter The Vermont Witness. the
organ of the Society, early gave notice in
significant terms that Rev. p. \. Granger
was the only authorized agent, and now it
appears with caution intimating serious
things against Mr.. Stone If this thing
/ goes on very little good will be accomplished
the present year Woodstock Standard.
The last Witness contains cross letter
from Rev. Mr.. Stone in relation to the
charges against him to which the Secre-
tary Of the State Temperance Society, Rev.
W. W. Atwater. publishes a sharp re-
joinder, which seems to leave Mr.. Stone in
rather a bad light.
