LOCAL MENTION.

uat All ulCc anu iiBht
Judge Dunton starts on western trip,
next week.
We regret to learn that Dea. James Bar
rett is again seriously Ill.
The 90 cent store has a newly arranged
show window, which lights up finely.
Charles Butterflys fine for his last
weeks violation of the law, about $50, has
been paid.
We understand that Captain f. A. Morse
is to take charge of the Howe scale works
in Brandon.
An interesting and sad account of the
recent storm in Alabama will be found
upon the first page.
John Valliquette was committed Satur-
day on six mittimuses, amounting in all to
over $500, for liquor traffic.
We publish an interesting letter on the
second page from Venice written to THE
GLOBE by sour friend" DR.. Goldsmith.
Some one was malicious enough to poi
son a small pet dog belonging to towns
man yesterday out of spite to the owner.
The Troy conference convenes at Glens
Falls on Wednesday, April 81 and not on
Wednesday next as announced in Mondays
GLOBE.
1t will be noticed that in another column
Mr.. l.. L. Whitcomb challenges his associ-
n ates of the board of education to spelling
match.
VIM. F. Eddy, who came off victor at
the late spelling match, it should be re-
membered was educated at the Rutland
high school.
Now st. Adams is to have spelling
match "for the benefit of st. Lukes Epis-
copal church." Why don't some of the
charitable institutions of Rutland try 1t.
1t is believed that some men recently dis
charged from the gravel train at Fort Ed
ward set fire to the bridge on the Renssel-
aer and Saratoga road, which was burned
last week.
A leak in the water pipes on Merchants
Row had to be dug up yesterday. 1t was
caused by horse stamping on the top of
the box through winch rod connects with
the stop-cock.
The st. Adams Advertiser says II the
particulars in the spelling match this even
ing do not do better than those taking part
in the affair at Rutland last evening we
shall be sorry for them.
II every body could have the weather
assigned according to his respective wishes,
what checkered and variegated armament
we should have and how crowded with
chaos of jostling contrasts?
Remember c. G. Dunn's auction this af-
ternoon, in front of the depot park. In
addition to the other horses advertised, there
will be sold three-ye old colt. This is
good chance for horsemen to secure bar
gains.
An item for the advocates of sun baths
A man coiled himself upoE the depot park
fence on Sunday to dry. He was lying on
the middle rail, with one arm over the top
rail, and the other twined affectionately
around post.
Regular Encampment of Roberts Post
No. IA Department of Vermont Grand Ar
my of the Republic at the Odd Fellows
Hall this evening at 1.2 o'clock. A full
attendance of the comrades is desired, as
business of Importance in reference to dec
Grafton day will be acted upon.
The two street lamps on the south end of
Main street were burning brightly all day
Sunday, all night Sunday night-a NOON
light night, when the other lamps were
turned off-and until three o'clock Mon
day afternoon. Possibly Main street peo-
pie would prefer their light in the night
time
Music lovers should remember that Mr.
Mietzkes concert will be the last opportu-
nifty TO hear a good concert in Rutland this
season. The rumors ahoat that Theodore
Thomas orchestra and the Camilla Urso
troupe were coming here this month are
both incorrect. The admission to the COM
ing concert will be so cents reserved seats
rs cents. Reserved seats may be obtained
at Meeker's music store.
We understand that one of the deputy
sheritfs had lonely vigil Saturday night
Hearing that there was a barrel of whisky
buried under the cellar Of one of the stores
in the Center street ruins, and that it
would probably be dug up that night he
thought to be in at the death So he took
up position and watched
"As II in q swoon he sat there
Motionless, unconscious
OF the daylight or the Darkness"
or of anything but the spot where the bar
rel was buried. At two o'clock, having
seen no whisky, he went home. The next
morning the barrel was found but nc
whisky. Whether the digger struck a
pick into the barrel and thus spilled the
contents or whether the owner came and
carried it away is mooted question.
One of the greatest mechanical wonders
of the present age is Bergman's automatic
city, the ingenuity displayed in its con
struction being truly wonderful. 1t con
sists of an immense toy Swiss cottage abou
eleven feet long and ming feet high 1t
motive power is water, and the cottage i
filled with everything in miniature and i
hull of life and animation. 1t was con
Btructed by poor German cabinet make
named Bergman, who devoted three year
bf constant labor to its construction. Tn
cottage is five stories in height, and all til
ngures are automatic in their life-ik
movements. On the first story there ar
twenty-one figures, fourteen on the second
thirteen on the the third, two on the fourth
and on the fifth and last is a town clock
with chimes, etc. This marvellous piece o
mechanism will be on exhibition at tn
store recently occupied by c. A. Parkhurs
& Co., in Kingsley and Spragues block, O
