The Village Belle may be found at
II. II. & S NJ Davis drug store-we

MIR. j. o. Smith, who the past week
has been so sick as to excite apprehen-
sion, is, we are glad to learn this Thurs
day morning, more comfortable
The selectmen and civil authority
Of the town will meet at the town clerks
Office next Monday to revise the check
list. All legal voters interested in hav-
ing their names registered, should gov
ern themselves accordingly.
DIR. Geo. F. Gale of Brattleboro,
We presume will be voted for, for county
liquor commissioner, as last year, though
We have heard nothing on the subject,
from which we Judge that no interest is
felt in this matter, and it certainly can
moi very well be less than last year.
The best sections of Bellows Falls
are being gradually taken up for perma-
nent residence, and it is not often that
such sale as the Tolman house, located
asit is upon Henry street, is offered, and
more rare that such property should be
Offered at auction We have no doubt
our readers will notice the advertisement
Of the sale of this house at auction on
the 10Th day of March at 10 o'clock P
H.
The annual town meetings for Yer
mont occur on Tuesday of next week.
The warrant for this town contains very
little outside Of the usual routine of
Business, but every citizen in every town
should always make it point and feel
to be his duty to be present, if he can.
AMI give such attention as may be to his
town government Sometimes even in
our town municipalitions jobs are at
ternpted, and the people should be pres
ent 10 take care of them.
The weather has changed remarka-
biz since last week From ten degrees
below zero on Monday morning, Tues
day was very fine and the first during
the winter in which the snow was soft
ened by the warm and generous rays Of
the sun. Wednesday morning lightrain
and fog and still thawing as we write
"Wednesday afternoon, and following the
cold term is certainly very agreeable,
and in some places this weather will at
least give some relief from the winter

The lecture on Friday evening o.
last week, on the mission of New Eng
land, by President Smith of Dartmouth
College, was not only of great excellence
but of rare scholarship and ability
While he did not claim perfection fol-
New England, and conceded strong rival
\ ny in some instances, he was pretty sure
to finally place New England ahead, anC
the New England institutions and illus
trious names, with brief mention of thei
Characteristic, which he gave in grea
beauty of language, fully sustained hi
position 1t is hardly necessary to say
thai his lecture was received by thos
who heard it with rare favor and salts

Over a week ago, DIR. o. +. Woods
who has large number Of doves on hi
premises, had for some ten days foun
many of them dead in the morning, witt
their heads and breasts partly or all eat
en- off. In ten days he had lost fifteen
besides nests that had been broken up
and one morning he found five doves tina
had been killed during the night. A
this rate things we're looking decidedl
Serious for the doves at least and sus
pecting it was the work Of weasel, ear
II Wednesday evening of last week h,
set a steel trap properly baited, and with
in twenty minutes he heard the clat
ter of the little chain by which the tral
was fastened, and in the trap was tn
assassin in the form of a little screec
owl, which would have been quite a
attractive looking little fellow but 70
his previous ten days history Of villain
as a ku-klux.
We stepped into the High Schoc
Che other day for an hour and foun

We stopped three hours. We shall no
say that we found a good school; on

they would have no other, but it Ger
