TUESDAY. FEBRUARY "a. 1874.
Town of Middiebury.


The Auditors of the Town of Middle
bury, in their annual report, which is
about to be presented to the tax
payers intimate that the aggre.
gate expenses of the town have
been increased over those incur
red for the year ending Feb. q 1873.
This has arisen from the large amount
demanded for building and repairing OF
bridges, at East Middlebury, Middle
bury Village and at the old Paper mill
falls. The cost of these several i'm
proverhents were respectively, 1915 !;
$3.50; sS5. The amount of orders drawn
by the Selectmen, during the year IL
S3.3OG6l, OF which S2,543.33 were
expended on roads and bridges and
S763. 2S on on all other matters. The
expenses of roads and bridges were
$4,000 more than the previous year,
while the miscellaneous expenses have
diminished Sl3S.65 during the same
time.
The Poor Department makes a good
financial exhibit, showing a diminu
ton in the expense of supporting th,
poor from that of the year previous, OF
S5O3.6O.
The amount paid into the treasury
during the year arising from the net
proceeds Of the sale Of liquors, is 81 l29,
np1 ;s mara tlop tbot po;d IL, 6uripu
the year ending Feb 81. 1873 bv S547.-
81. The amount of liquor on hand
Feb 10. 1873 was Se24.o7 the whole
amount purchased was S222G.70 ;
amount on hand Feb 10. 1874 ,Sl025. GO,
which makes the cost of liquors actual
~ sold S2125,l5. Previous year the cost o
liquors sold, as shown by the Auditors
report, was S2,522.OO. From which II
appears that the profits on the sale OF
liquor that cost S2l25.l5 this past year
exceeded the profits on the sale of liquor
which cost S2522.O0 the previous yeal
by S547.2l, as stated by the Auditors in
their report.
In this connection 1t is proper to state
that prices for which the liquor has
been sold have not been raised in rela-
ton to the original cost, but in some
eases the relative profit has been less
than the year previous.
There are also so me other items of in
terest in connection with this report
The amount reported as lost by leakage
and shortage this year, is SIG ,35, against
the sum of $l97 accounted for as short
age, and S250.58 as sbrinkage, by the
expert accountants chosen by the agent
to rc-examine the accounts last year.
The expenses Of running the agenc!
such as freights, insurance, faucets, &c ,
not including salaries, shrlnkage ana
shortage was Sl23.9l Previous year il
was Sal. 0l as reported by the Auditors,
and SlS7 80 rs given by the experts
above referred to.
From the above figures, it appears
that the town exhibit, this year, is /
very good one and but for the larg,
extra outlay which was found necessa
~ upon bridges, we should have beef
able to congratulate the town upon 1,
decrease of expenditures. AS it Is tn,
expenses have not been largely in.

GOOD PREAnRIMG

The effects Of good preaching on q Sabbath are
well illustrated BY the following: Two chaps
(we1l call them that for want Of better name)
setof one Sabbath morning to go TO church. The
road, which was q footpath, led through farm,
and, as they had fingered on the way, they were
much too late for the morning service, and, more
over, as was his custom, the farmer and all his
household with him were of at church. While
our Two friends were passing through the corn
their attention. In q short conversation which
eDsued It was agreed to capture the best they
could lay their hands on. Accordingly It was
after an exciting chase, got, and duly bagged IN
the greatcoat inside pocketof one Of them, and
the journey resumed to church. The psalms
were over and the first prayer begun, when
they entered to the afternoon service, so
that at the very outset they made them
selves very conspicuous. The minister's text
was the three words al see It y and he expounded
on them so well, and so often cast mis- head in the
direction Of the two worthless, that the one with
out the duck commenced nudging the other In
the side, and whispering every now and then,
white with fear: "Shov't In, man; shOv't ini He
sees't, he sees'ti Keep il down, man; for ony
sake keep It Down. And so he went on for some
time, until between his neighbor's EXPLANATIONS
to keep It down" and the minister's continually
reiterating II see itn the one with the duck got
into such furry that he took hold Of the bird IN
HIS pocket BY the legs and drawing Il out, made
It describe several circles round his head, and
then threw II off in the direction of the good mans
pate, exclaiming as he did so: "When ye're sac
sure ye sect, TAX It there and keep it." And, so
saying, he made as fast as possible exit to the
door, followed at the heels by his nelghbOr.
