Woodstock.
Fine weather-nothing like it
ever in these parts for October
1T is more work to shave a Re-
publican since the late elections, and
the BARRIERS complain dreadfully,
DR.. Hayes had full house Fri
day night, but, it is said, his story of
the "Iceland" &c. was pretty thin.
"A chicken shoot is advertised to
come off in Jasper Hazen's pasture,
Friday and Saturday of this week, G..
P. Pratt and Leander Bumblebee are
the managers.
Mrs. M. M. Perkins, did not read
at the Town Hall Saturday evening
Reason-no audience. Mrs. Perkins
is talented lady, and no doubt would
have given good satisfaction. Satur-
day evening is not the evening to call
out people, besides, we had a lecture
the night before. She reads from
Saxes new poems, Poe's work, &c.
The Governors Proclamation to
the voters of this Congressional Dis
trict may be found on the fourth page
of this paper. Election next Tuesday.
Take seventeen of Ayers Pills and
vote for McLane.
Our reporter at the Bethel Races
gives us lengthy account of the
affair, but at this late day it would not
be profitable reading. He says the
trotting was the best ever seen in
Vermont, and he knows, being a
"horse man" himself. He also returns
thanks to the society for courtisies
extended to him on the grounds.
e. L. Woodland has sold his trot-
ting horse climber Jim" to a party
down country for $500. That will
do.
w athersfeld sent us q Nor
weigan under the vagrant act last
week, and after laying in Jail couple
weeks, in filthy condition, he was
taken to the poor house and cleaned
up by our friend Cephas Harding and
wife. He could not talk any language
but his own and it was difficult to do
anything for him or with him. An
old tramping Swede came along who
could talk with him enough to find out
that he landed at Quebec two months
ago, lost his money and way and was
trying to get to his sister in Illinois.
The town authority shipped both Of
them for that place Saturday, at an
expense of $500. Weathersfeld
knew he would become town charge,
and therefore took advantage Of the
vagrant act. 1t was sharp but not
very humane. He was a man about
40 years old, ugly, crazy and dirty.

feet, Sc a cord. We want a cord on
subscription to this paper.
The festive house-fy is gathered
to his fathers, and the woman of the
house don't raise the window more
than five times in the afternoon now to
tell her neighbor how many she has
chased out of the dining-room before
dinner.
The "Red Front, No. H. is on
earth again. Glad of it. See adj
vertisement in another column.
Those brigandish hats which the
ladies wear give them a sort of "stand
and deliver" look.
The eclipse of the moon came off
according to L. A. Miller's advertise
ment, Sunday morning. Did you sit
up with your gal and watch for it ?
Ifyou didn't, you lost something, SO
those say who did.
