The public examination and closing exer.
cises of the Lyndon Literary Institute on
Friday last were more than usually inter-
esting and satisfactory. The class through.
out did finely and merited the appreciation
Of teachers aud friends.
Two sons of John Carrck, Of Groton,
named Orange and Alonzo, got to quarrel
ing last week Wednesday night, in the
course of which AlonEo stabbed Orange in
the groin with a jack knife, with serious il
not fatal results. Alonzo was promptly ar
rested and committed to await the result of
the injuries inflicted.
Next week the term of Office of one Of the
most efficient states attorneys this county
ever had will end. We regret that the GUS
tom of changing our states attorney so often
is in force. When a man has shown both
the will aud the ability to so we'll and faith
fully discharge his duties as has Mr.. May,
we think the public good demands his reten-
ton in Office. We sincerely hope that Mr..
Smith, the incoming states attorney, will
take up the work where Mr.. May leaves 1t
and SO discharge the duties Of the Office that
no law abiding citizen shall regret the
change, but that he may be a terror to evil
doors.
Mr.. Editor PAS this is Thanksgiving
week and every one seems to be in good
spirits, | thought | would write you line,
to let you know oil our prosperity here in
Ryegate. The crops have generally been
abundant, the fall has been splendid for man
and beast, and all have been busy preparing
for winter. There has been quite an in-
crease in population in town,-thcre being
eleven or twelve infantile newcomers in the
last six months, which is one Of the most
promising features. One Of these shining
stars brightens our own home. -There is
one pest to our community, which presume
all the towns are troubled with--peidlers
What makes me speak Of it now, is to warn
my fellow farmers against a new set, Just
issued. They are agents (they say) for a
bankrupt company, selling goods for almost
nothing in comparison to the worth of them
They will sell you bundle for the small
sum of $50 dollars. What you do not want
! yourself you can sell out so cheap that every
one will jump at the chance to get them.
Nice double width cloth, for mems clothing,
at the small sum Of 40 cents yard. Now
when you have got your goods and the
"agent" is gone, you look them over, and
begin to reckon. You fnd you have paid
three dollars per yard for that very goods
perhaps it is worth it, but what farmer,
unless he has large family of boys, wants
to buy up such an amount, to lay by.
Most that have bought them feel like the
fox that got his tail cut off, aud hold their
tongues. All | have to say is "keep your
eyes peeled"

LAMOILLE COUNTY.
Those who have been led by the assuran-
ces of the Citizen into purchasing any Of
those 81 80 packages Of goods sold by trav-
cling swindlers, will probably be more eau.
tious next time. Tie game has been played
in different parts OF Caledonia county to the
sorrow Of the purchasers
Harrison Warner, of Cambridge, is said
to be ahead Of Mr. Meendy, who was 70.
ported as the champion farmer Of that town
by the Citizen few weeks ago. Mr.. War.
ner has a farm Of 1900 acres. His home
farm consists of 500 acres on which he
keeps 100 head of cattle, 200 sheep, 7 hor-
SEES and colts and pair Of mules with which
he does the greater part of his farm work.
One farm Of 200 acres IL rented, and the
remaining 900 acres is timber land. Mr.
Warner is an enterprisIDg farmer as well a.
good citizen, and has been chosen town
representative several times.
Farmers Beware.
Earle is again spouting gas for pay this
time for far less worthy subject than
Uncle Luke. And we would warn Lamolle
County against this same grabbist whom he
advocates. He has been in Steve and
swindled number out of their money aud
good sense. His method Is, to 90 to mems
houses whore their note is as good as the
| ha nj N 9TH III nil az
goods, and rave and tear about for the pur.
pose Of getting them excited, land he fully
understands this part of his rascally trade)
and at last gets them to sign a note for
$3.50, aud they take the goods which prove
to be worth about half that amount. The
goods, as the Citizen says are not shoddy
but they fall far short OF being worth $3.50
Again We warn everyone to beware Of hi'
glib tongue, and all his efforts to impart ex-
element to his Victims for as our famous
real estate broker, who trades on the same
principle, says, "Ile takes them while they
are hot" If this swludler comes to your
houses, boot him out at the back door aud
tell him that if it is as he says, that ga man
is apt to be better who wears good cloth,
he had better don pair Of his imported
breeches-forthwith, and 60 to work. We
are sorry that A. 4. has stopped to counte
nance and help along this swinder, although
we are unable to say how many degrees
lower he is now than he was before. OIL
course it is an easier way to get money than
by hard labor.
