Winter styles IN Cloves.


The winter style in gloves is az follows: Giants
de- Srede are not considered suis able for winter
use, and the fine soft chevreau glace is only
worn for fall dress. There are in Paris gloves
made especially for this season. For morning
wear the wprsted glove called Kashmeero Is con-
yenient, warm. and easily drawn OF and on; it
comes with rs many as four buttons. For half
dress the Castorine, which is Of undtessed kid
and very strong, is economical. This glove is
suitable for wear with tuits Of cloth, cache mire,
yicoene, matte etc., as 1t Is only made in dark
BLADES, such Us dark green, plum, purple, brown
and gray The giant RUSSO is the full-dress winter
glove, worn with tho most elegant velvet
suits trimmed with fur !; they are very warm,
though made OF handsome tlne chevresn. These
gloves are lined With elk or fur, which does not
eoarge the hand bat protects it, aud keeps the
skin white and soft in the coldest weather. They
are also made in dark colorB. The black and
gray gloves are lined With purple silk, aud are
used for bali mou1 ming. The green ones are
liped with red and the havane with blus. They
are rather expensive, but so dur&ble that thar
finally prove cheap. For riding and travelling
the Jeanne dare is suitaole. This glove is OF
rather thick and strong kid, With double row
of stitching, aud it has deep gauntlet. 1t Ii
only made In different shades OF gray.

TOWN FINANCES.

Tha Town Treasurer reminded the Lake Trus-
tees Yesterday Of some very unpleasant facts in
bis report on the finances Of the town. The re-
port dates back to the time that be entered upon
his duties at which time he found that $4,000
collected On special assessments made in the
nrayioas years dating back to 1879, had been
used for other purposes, and tie town was
thereby indebted to these fund. that eum,
to pay which they had either to re-
fund the money or make the i'm
proyemeats. Dur,og the present year the
Board have already expended el3, 600 Of this
years levy, which iessens their available fnnos
that much. Then again, in settling up with the
232 1s6 So Of the town levy has beea forfeited TO
the Slate, thus deprivins tue Board OF $5o.uoo'
Of which they expected to have theuse this year.
Another item which was NOT A. all pleasant was
that the &c, 700 appropriated for ths expenses Q!

FESTIVAL AT

FESTIVAL AT NORTnFIELD.-Saturd
morning, September 18th, was cold and
frosty, with chilling breeze from the
north, feeling us if it came direct from the
region of giant icebergs Not needing
this state of the elements, the citizens of
this and towns around, to the estimated
number of five hundred, assembled on the
Fair Ground, to minglc in the festivities
OF picnic. An organization for the day
was extemporized by the appointment of
d. T. Averill as President. and lie Roy
Flint rs Secretary. The Mortified Band
male pleasant the occasion by some of
their soul-stirring music, good music, such
as they always furnish
A fine poem was read by Laura Brig
ham Boyce, which it would please your
readers to see, showing plainly that we
have "poets among us"
Stirring words were spoken by several :;
among others we are pleased to name G.
.. Boyce, Rev. r. A. Green, Dan Tarbell
and II. G. Hayward. The pieces entitled
"Old New England" and " Nearer, nv
God, to Thee,' were finely rendered by a
choir hastily improvised for the occasion:
also several pieces by Grange choirs
dinner was furnished the Band, quite
satisfactory to them, it is hoped, and after
general repast, which, however, preceded
most of the speaking. the good-humored
crowd left Floral Hall and repaired to
the track, where some fine Lady Eques-
trianship was exhibited by Misses Jones
and Dinsmore. 1t was decidedly good
and is to be repeated at the coming Fair
with some improvement, perhaps on this
day performance.
\ modest purse was made up for the
Band, only Il little too modest, considering
the amount of labor it was called to per-
form; and at the proper time, all with
joyous hearts and faces, went to their
respective homes, feeling, no doubt, hat
when another like occasion rcctlrS, they
would like to be there to see.n
The Central Vt r.. r. is deserving of
thanks for stopping the several trains ut
the ground. On the whole it was a most
decidedly good time. Though called by
the Patrons of IIusbandry and the Sover-
elgnS of Industry, the invitation went ont
for all, and was responded to in Il becom-
ing manner.

FOREPAUGH's MENAGER1E. MrsE17w

o"iA D nAEN AGERlE, MUSEUM
AND CIRCUS exhibited in this village on
Monday last, and was literally patronized
by an enormous gathering of people, whose
name was simply legion. 1t was bigger
crowd than Forepaugh had bargaincd for,
and his Circus tent proved entirely made
4uate to furnish seating or even standing
room for the eager multitude which made
rush for it SO soon as they had taken a
BRET look at the animals and glanced at
the wax figures and wonders in the Mu-
scum cages, which were exhibited in and
literally lined allisides of the mammoth six
pole tent,which showed bigger spread of
canvas than any travelling show ever be-
fore exhibited in Montpelier The con-
course of people that crowded into the
circus tent WAS altogether $ too many " for
the managers to keep quiet or comfortable,
or for the performers to please and laugh
into good humor. There was discomfort
visible and mutual growls of dissatisfaction
heard on AL sides, all which would proba-
bly, have been avoided had there been more
room, or II less number of people We
did not attempt to see the sights or wit
ness the performance within the ring; but
understand they would have been unex-
ceptionally good, but for the drawbacks
mentioned.
The display of wild and rare animals
was the best, we think, of any travelling
heretofore exhibiting in Mont
pelier. In this respect Forepaugh came
very near . filling his entire BILL" which
is rarely the case with travelling showmen.
The show proper, in the big tent, was re-
ally good and ought to have proved en-
tlrely satisfactory to the multitude who
visited it. The best of order was here
preserved, as we'll rs outside and around
the tents. We noticed little drunkenness,
and bat 4 small amount of rowdyism dur
ing the day. The attendance in the after
noon was the largest we ever saw at any
similar exhibition. 1t must have satisfied
the managers, and filled their pockets with
stamps.

THE FAIRS of the Washington County
and the Dog River Valley Agricultural
Societies occur week after next. The Dog
River Fair is held at Mortified, Septem-
Der 2Sth and GOTH, and the Washington
County at East Montpelier, Sep:emb 30th
and October LIST 1t will be week of
Fairs, and we expect everybody and their
wives and children will give themselves
up fully to this season of enjoyment and
relaxation. Not only this. it should be the
question of the hour with every one con-
yenicnt Of access to these exhibitions,
" What have | to show that will interest
or profit my neighbors Or those who shall
90 up to these farmers festivals?" We
hope to see a fuller and ftirer exhibition of
the products of the earth, and specimens
of the handicraft and industry of the PEG
pie of this county, at the fairs this fall
than at any previous exhibitions. A little
extra effort and thought will make this
a thing of easy accomplishment. The
officers and managers of these societies
are doing their whole duty; now let the
entire people do theirs equally we'll. land
the thing is accomplished. 1t can then be
said at the close of each fair others have
done excelently, but thou excellest them
all. Friends and members Of their socie-
ties, shall not this be truly said of you all
this year?

Fire in Middlebury.

At 1890 o'clock, Friday night, fire was
discovered in the paper mill of the Middle
bury Paper Company, on Main street, Mid
dlcbury, in the rear of Lane & Clay's
block. A general alarm was sounded as
soon as possible, but before help arrived
the building was enveloped in flame. The
fire department of the village consists Of
only one engine, Of great antiquity.
From the paper mill the fire spread to
the sash and door factory of w. w. Swiney
(owned by Mr.. Oliver Severance). and
Lane & Clay's block, and thence swept up
both sides of Main Street. Next in the
path of the fire came Nichols Block, owned
by Mrs. Jane Nichols Here were located
the stores of Frank A. Bond and others.
Next came an old wooden block, owned
by Thomas II. Mcleod. The Adams block,
owned by Daniel Adams, was also dcs-
troyed. This was of brick. three stories,
and n fine structure. Mr.. Adams, who
resided in the second story. was sick with
fever at the time of the fire, and was
rescued from the burning building with
great difficulty.
On the north side of the street William
Shades block was wiped out.
At 800 AN. the fire was finally got I'M
der control. after having burned over
about three acres in the main business
portion of the village and destroyed five
blocks. The credit of checking the fire at
this point is largely due to the Middlebury
College boys, who worked like heroes and
showed undaunted perseverance and cour-
rye. Chief Engineer Comstock and Sheriff
L. NJ. Trip are also entitled to great
deal Of credit for their indefatigablc excr-
lions.
At about one o'clock aid was summoned
from Burlington and Rutland Ethan
Allne Engine Company made ready at
once, reached the Central Vermont depot
at two o'clock, and, after waiting tedious
while for instructions from St. Adams,
took the three o'clock light train (Which
was ordered to run on express time), and
in one hour and forty-five minutes after
leaving Burlington had stream on the
fire. The Washington Engine company,
of Rutland George Russell, foreman. reached
Mddlebury about fifteen minutes in adj
vance of the Ethans, and did efficient SER
vice. At 3 30 the fire was checked at the
house owned by Mrs. II. F.Osborn, and oc-
cupiel as boarding house by William
Scott.

losses and insurance.

Bridge thoroughly repaired, under the
supervision of j. w. Truax Of Essex, and
on Saturday the Pond was filled with wa
ter as usual. The dam proved to be all
right. and the quantity Of water saved by
the repairs will give greatly increased
power to the owners of the right. During
the time the water was out, vast quanti

THE FAIpuAvEN E1pu

HE FAIRHAvEN FIRE.-At about IL 80
o'clock, on Friday night, 4 fire broke out
in the slate works of Simeon Allen, loca-
ted near the depot, in Fairhavcn. The fire
had gained considerable Roadway before
any alarm was sounded, and by the time
any effort could be made to stop the flames
it was impossible to save any portion of
the building The building was owned by
Simeon Allen and was comparatively new,
being built in 1869. 1t was filled with
new and improved machinery and the
amount Of finished stock and stock in the
process of manufacture was unusually
large. The first floor of the building was
occupied by Simeon Allen, who was donr
very large and prosperous business in
the manufacture of billiard beds. mantel
stock and all kinds Of sawed slate stock,
100 sets of billiards being in the binding
ready for shipment nj the time of the fire.
The upper part of the building was occu-
pied by K. G.. COlburn. where he carried
on the business of marbleizing slate. He
had on had IN unusual amount of finished
work. Owing to the heavy nature of every
thing in the building but little was saved.
The safe of Mr.. Allen, which contained
his books and papers, was saved, but Mr..
Colburn's safe went down with the build
ing. Mr.. Allen estimates that his loss
will reach $4,000, on which there is an
insurance of $4,000, distributed in the
following companies: Vermont mutual,
Lycoming. Queens and Commercial
Union of Londen. Colburn had insurance
of four or five thousand dollars, and his
loss, he estimates, will be only partially
covered by insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown. Quite a number of men
are thus thrown out of employment for
the present, but Mr.. Allen signifies his
determination to rebuild ut once.
