USEFUL AND ORNAMENTAL.-The neat
est dodge in the advertising line is the
acknowledgements presented its patrons
by the Amazon Insurance Company of
Cincinnati of which Mr. Bryant at A. C.
Browns extensive and popular Life and
Fire Insurance Agency in Montpelier is
the Agent. 1t is the most novel and use
full advertising device we have vet seen.
A thing of beauty, we hope it may prove a
jov forever to those who are induced to in
sure themselves or their property in the
Amazon or any of the other reliable COM
panies for which Mr.. Brown is agent.
WATCH THIEvING. -Augusta Dow, a res

which she was surreptitiously deprived on
Sunday last. One William Lawrence of
Providence, by the DEGREES of providence

announced, the meeting this week was ar
ranged for the interest of the children, but
did not fail to interest those older as well.
1t was conducted by Col. II. D. Hopkins.
The children's voices in the spirited and
excellent temperance songs gave addition
al pleasure to all present.
1t is to be hoped that still larger num-

gathered at these meetings, and that pa
rents will aid in this direction.

ANOTHER LARGE EGG-And now comes
a modest little pullet belonging to Charles
II. Ward of Berlin, and makes proof that
she isn't to be sneezed ut as an egg pro
Queer. Her first effort which finds its way
to our table (what lucky fellows editors

ounces and is the most shapely egg of any
of those " big things we have vet seen

AN EXPENSIVE DRUNK.-A. NJ Pritch-
ard and a companion of his who reioices
or mOurns in a name that as near as we
could make out is I. De Angetis, became
intoxicated Monday evening and conse-
quently boisterous. They raised a disturb
ance at the American and were notified to
leave. Finally they were arrested, and
were yesterday fined by Justice Robinson
3 each and costs, which made a bill of
more th1n thirty dollars for them. They
had been dealing i'll soap and We're opera
tors in the carpet cleaning business, but
this little episode bankrupted them and
they We're not able to pay their fine at once
They got along as they could however and

sober partner the concern who furnished
a sufliciency Of scrip just in time to save
them from going to Jail.
WOULDN'T DIsCLOsE.-The hight watch
picked up Dennis Horigan Monday night
he being very drunk, and gently placed
him in jail. Tuesday Dennis was taken
before Justice Hinckley to disclose bat
would not do it, and the result was that
he went back to jail Il place that he
would have done better to have kept away
from originally.
RAILROAD CONNECTIoNS.-The negotia-
tions between the Central Vermont and
Wells River roads still hang fire. Some
body is to blame for the continued incon-
veniences resulting from this hitch, but
we don't propose to discuss the matter
till we have more time, space and light.
Doc POIsONERs.-There are bad DOGS
and dogs that are better than some men,
There have occurred in Mortified several
cases of dog poisoning that were entirely
uncalled for; the dogs being from all ac-
counts possessed of as good title to live
and promising as much benefit to the
world us the fellows who killed them.
Poisoning a dog is like sending anonymous
letters, a mean and cowardly trick. If
anybody wants to kill a dog let him do it
openly and above board. The dogs that
are nuisances can be disposed of in that
way, but the other system hits in the dark
and is everyway reprehensible.
JOTTINGs FROM WATrsFIELD.-We no.
tice with pleasure the appearance again of
the well known signature of "B. R." in
