John E. Huntoon returned on Saturday
from winters business trip at the south.
He looks as hale, hearty, sleek and fat as
in the fall, when he was commander of the
invincible serenaders, the evening after the
town election.
Rev. II. +. Carpenter of Fitchburgh,
Mass, and formerly pastor of the Advent
church in Rutland, has accepted call from
church in Vallejo, California, and will
soon remove to that place.
Spaulding has the June atlantic and
.Scribner's, both good numbers. The At
tantic has Lowell's ode, read at Concord,
which the papers felt so much abused be-
cause they could not get it at the time.
James Glraln, instigator of the Green
street fracas, was fined five dollars and
costs by Justice II. w. Porter. Gilrain
couldn't convince the judge that his liquor
came from Hampton, and accordingly he
was returned to the Jail.
Joseph Vincent and William Hinckley,
two boys aged respectively IA and IS, were
brought before Justice II. w. Porter on
Saturday, for assaulting James Burnham, a
boy younger than themselves, and fined
five dollars each and costs.
On Wednesday evening last a white
leather pocket book, containing between
twenty eight and thirty dollars, was lost
between Centre street and Strongs avenue.
The finder will be suitably rewarded by
leaving it at THE GLOBE office.
We learn that the special committee to
purchase town farm, have had under full
consideration the location and value of the
David Wing farm at West Rutland, and
have concluded not to purchase it. The
farm OF Rollin G. Thrall has also been Of
fered to them, which they do not accept.
1t is now probable that some locality near
this village will be selected.
Our citizens will be surprised to learn of
of the death of MIR. w. W. Mccall, the
we'll known merchant tailor, which oc
occurred at his residence Sunday afternoon,
after brief illness of congestion of the
brain. Mr.. Mccall came to Rutland first
some twenty years ago, and established
business, and afterward removed to Bran
don. He returned to Rutland in 1860, and
has since been established in business as a
merchant tailor-having for many years
carried on a large business. He had wide
circle of friends who will regret his sud-
den death.
A special telegram from Boston, pub
lished in another column, announces the
organization of the board of directors of
the Barlow wing of the Central Vermont
railroad contest, with John b. Page as
Pre- jident. 1t is understood that Governor
Smith and his associates in the directory of
the Central Vermont will hold a meeting in
Boston on Tuesday for organization.
There seems to be but little doubt that the
legality of the election of directors of the
road will have to be passed upon by the
courts.
At the Congregational church yesterday
morning the attendance was unusually
large, and the exercises highly interesting.
The music was even more attractive than
usual, and Mrs. Oliver, who was among
lHt llSttueI5, CAplSsotu hei9ei' ih"Nh
pleased with it, particularly with the rem
dition of the second hymn, the solo being
finely sung by Mrs. Mietzke. William r.
Gilmore of West Rutland ably filled Col.
Walkers place, made absent by his bust
ness in Boston, which did not permit his
return home last week. The vesper ser
vice will be omitted this month on account
of the memorial service, which is to bt
held in this church next Sabbath afternoon
We are under obligations to the commit
tee of arrangements for an invitation to bt
present at the farewell reception to oul
friend and patron, Gen. George S. Batch
eller at Saratoga this evening" to be glver
on the eve of his departure for Egypt. The

zens. He is of Vermont stock, although
not to the manor born-is a genuine Gree:
Mountain boy In spirit, having received hi
preparatory education in this county, ant
has many devoted friends and admirers in

the honors accorded him, as do the people
of his own State. He is IA nephew of Tho
