University of Vermont.

commencement in the Medical De
partment of the University of Vermont,
occurred at Burlington Thursday evening
OF last week The graduating class
numbered thirty, more than double of
that last year, and the exercises are said
to have been more interesting than at any
previous time since this department was
established in 1852. OF the graduates
fifteen were from Vermont. OF those two
were Edward r. Campbell, of Saxtons
River, and IL. G. Crowell, of Putney.
The first named delivertd the valedic-
tory address, of which the Burlington
Sentinel says:
=" The valedictory was delivered by
Edward r. Campbell, of Saxtons River,
Vt, son of DIR. Campbell, of that place.
Mr.. Campbell's address was far above
the usual grade of this class of per-
tormances, and reflected great credit
upon the abilities of the speaker. The
young man Will yet make his mark. He
would naturally succeed in any profess
sion he might adopt"
We take pleasure, on the above, in
offering our hearty congratulations to
our young townsman, who we doubt not
has thus received no more than he de-
Prof King in closing his very excel
lent address, spoke with much enthusiasm
of the increase of students and the prom
ising future of the University, which he
believed was entering upon new era
In advancement, of which every Yer
monter will Of course be very glad to
hear and feel just pride.

The Westminster Agricultural Society
called for the purpose of electing a new
board of officers, and discussing the fea.
sibility of holding It'll annual fair, vo-
ted to adjourn until the agricultural,
mechanical and manufacturing interests
could be more fully represented. The
opinions expressed in the discussions
were unanimously in favor of "march-
ing on !"
The apparent advantages of the pres
ent year over those of last, gave addi-
tional confidence and good feeling, and
it is hoped and confidently expected that
sufficient notice will be given to warrant
a full attendance at the next meeting,
to be held at the Town Hall, Saturday,
July 24th, at Z o'clock, p. NJ That the
may be governed by the men,
bers of the society, old and young, far
mers, mechanics and manufacturers, and
not by chosen minority, is the earnest
wish Of those who adjourned the last
meeting to the above named date.

Further announcement next week.
Mr.. A. r. Sabin and family are on a
visit to his old home. Mr.. Sabin, as
our readers and his old friends in this
section know, is principal of Lake Forest
Academy, near Chicago, the commence
ment exercises of which occurred in a
very successful manner some three weeks
ago, and he is now on visit to his old
friends in Vermont
A grand concert is to come off at the
Congregational church in Saxtons Riv-
er, Wednesday evening of next week,
July 14th. 1t is to be under the direc-
ton of H. HI. Kimball, who will be as
sisted by Mr.. and Mrs. A r. Sabin of
Chicago Miss Franc Ranney of Benning-
ton, Miss Anna Wiley of Weston, besides
several home vocalists who have always
been received with favor, and full cho-
rus. We are not surprised therefore to
learn that much interest already prevails
in anticipation of this concert which is
likely to prove one of the finest musical
entertainments given in this section for
a long tine.

st. Patrick's Temperance Society.

The St. Patrick's Temperance Society
celebrated the Fourth by grand pic
mic at Minard's Pond on Saturday. The
Society, in their very neat looking rega.
liza, formed in procession in the street in
the morning and marched with martial
music at their head to the Pond, and the
music, by the way, had the old fashioned
American Fourth of July ring. This
Society appears on all occasions in
highly creditable manner, and they
have certainly become not only credit
to themselves but to our place, and we
trust long period of success and pros
perity is before them.
Some five hundred people assembled
at the Pond, where the day was spent
in various amusements. Refreshments
were served by the ladies, boats were
provided for use on the Pond and from
the receipts, which we learn were about
1915, must have been literally patron
lied.
The athletic prizes we understand
were nearly all won by Patrick Than.
The sack race was won by Thomas Tor
Ply, and afforded much lively amusement.
A game of base ball, between the Red
Stars and Paper Makers, was begun, but
two of the former being disabled, the
game was abandoned ON the fifth inning.
The day passed off pleasantly, and like
Ill the festivals of our Irish friends was,
rs indicated above, very decided fnan-
,ial success.

MIR. Kinds and small party of young
men visited Stoddard pond few DAYS
ago and in four hours caught sixty-five
pounds of perch and pickerel then
camping out, rose at o'clock A. NJ and
caught in few hours twenty-eight pick

one turtle that weighed twenty pounds,
which they brought home. We loaned

Wednesday evening Both ult., DIR.
Blake was surprised by some his friends
with an entertainment at the residence
of Mrs. Otis Bardwell, and present of
an elegant silver ice pitcher and goblet.
The presentation was made by Miss
Bardwell with few words we'll put in
rhyme, to which the doctor responded as
well as he could under the truly supris-
ing and embarrassing circumstances. The
parlors were tastefully decorated with
flowers and the evening was passed in
friendly interchange of good feelings
a few charades were interpreted, one of
which was completely original and very
cleverly acted, viz @. A. Band the
tableau in "Stilletto was very effective.
Real surprises are very rare; the
beneficiary generally has some good
friend who will post him up and request
him to be surprised; in the present case,
as we are more intimately acquainted
with the doctor than any one else, we
can confidently say that he was really

even as to the event all were in league
against him. He is generally selfpos-
sessed, but on this occasion nearly lost

BROoKLTNE.

The Sd Of July was observed by our
people as the Fourth" and was cele-
brated by picnic, in which nearly 100
persons participated. The grove in
which it was held, is beautiful one and
well adapted to such a gathering 1t is
situated in the south part Of the town,
opposite the mills of L. w. Bush and on
the west side and near to Grassy brook.
The day was all that could be desired
and every one seemed intent on having
good time. Swings, croquet, magic
hoops and base ball attracted attention
and helped to make the occasion enjoy
able. Early in the afternoon the com
pany was called to the platform to listen
to an essay, music, select reading, recita-
lions etc, after which refreshments were
served from the well laden tables. At a
hour, the party dispersed to
carry pleasant memories of another an
niversary of our Nations Independ-

perance. The Doctor is reformed man
and is earnestly engaged in the good
work.
The glorious 4th was grandly celebra-
ted here on the Sd. The day was
ushered in by a national salute. At
eleven o'clock Rag company" duly
organized under the brave H. I'll. G. (if
we may guess from his personal bearing
and the war like steed he rode) formed
in line at the head of Maine street and
marched the whole length of the street
and back to the Town House, and then
in peace quietly dispersed. Next the
fire engine was brought into requisition
and was worked to the delight of the
throng. Then the foot race came off,
in which r. E. Bostwick was champion.
Following the race were the speeches of
the day. The first was delivered by j.
L. Martin, Esq, with an eloqnence
worthy Of the day and equal to the oc-
casion, and who was followed by G. T
Shanks and ID. H. Marden, both of
whom graced the occasion and did hon
or to themselves. Then came the Sack
Race" Here was where the fun came
in. The citizen, the patriot, and soldier,
each alike engaged in uproarious laugh
ter. In the evening there was a very
good display of fireworks. This ended |
the celebration. All declared they had |
a good time Great credit is due Messrs.
Smith, Chase and other gentlemen, the
Driginators for the home entertainment /: /
and also great credit is due the presi-
lent of the day, j. L. Martin and his
for the order maintained.
There were large numbers present all
through the day and evening but all
was peaceful and orderly. We say it
gith pride, there was no drunkenness or
lighting, or any thing to disgrace the oc-
aston or the town.

Attempted Bank Robbery.

| WHOLE FAMILY BOUND AND GAGGED
daring attempt at bank robbery Of
the National Bank at Barre, a few miles
from Montpelier, Tuesday night The
robbers failed however, because the bank
few months ago had put time lock to
their vault, which could only be opened
at . o'clock Wednesday morning. The
burglars four or five N number, first
went to the house of the cashier, Chas
A. King, and seized him and his wife
and little girl, bound, gagged and roned
them and Mrs. King and herlittle girl
were tied to the floor.
The little girl could not be ironed as
she could pull her hands through the
irons every time, and she was tied with
a tarred cord.
MIR. King was led by halter round
his neck to the bank. The robbers at first
refused to believe it was a time lock
but gave it up after listening to the
ticking. They got about $1,000 in I'M
signed bills, and some $40 in money.
About half an hour after the robbers
left, Mr.. King freed himself, having
been tied and left in his house, and the
alarm was Immediately given, pursuit
made about two hours behind their de-
parture, and one has already been cap
tured near Rumney, N. II. He had
taken the train, but seeing the detect
ives was frightened and jumped off The
train was stopped and he was captured
half mile off in some bushes, badly |
cut and bruised. Officers are in hot
pursuit and the arrest of the others is
hoped for.

CHARLESTOWN

One of the most remarkable cases Of
horse stealing on record, occurred in this
town one Saturday evening not long
since. Three young gents from the
neighboring village of Bellows Falls,
hired a team in the latter place for the
purpose of visiting our village, admir-
ing the scenery and paying their respects
to some young ladies. On their arrival
here they hitched their horse under the
hotel shed, and after having "braced
up" proce eded to the residences of the
above mentioned young ladies, and
probably finding their visit pleasant
one extended it, very naturally, into the
quiet hours Of the night; but upon re-
turning to get their horse were not
little surprised to find vacant shed. I"
On making known the fact no little ex-
citement ensued, and several parties
started Immediately for different sections
OF the country to overtake, if possible,
the thief and recover the property; but
after fruitless nights search the pur-
suers returned to find that at daybreak
the horse had been discovered in the
" mill yard " a short distance from the
hotel and hitched and comfortably blank
eted. Doubtless some of our enterpris-
ing youth wished to have little fun at
the expense of the gentlemen who could
not afford to pay thirty-fve cents for
putting their horse in the barn.

Gospel Meetings nj Ludlow.

The Gospel Meetings at Ludlow, Fri.
day, Saturday and Sunday, were largely
attended, and very interesting. 1t is
said that Sunday nearly 2000 people
were seated under the big tent. The
speaking throughout was able and per-
suasive, and the singing added greatly
to the devotional and deeply religious
feeling which prevailed
