On Monday next new time table takes
effect on the Central Vermont and LEASED
lines.
Rutland is the only town in the state
that observes Decoration day on Sunday
this year.
Hon. II. G.. Root of Bennington and
Stephen A. Walker,esq, of New York were
in town yesterday.
Mrs. j. NJ. Haven left yesterday for Chi.
cago to attend the womens national tenn
perance convention.
The Bolivar base ball club meet for prac
tice on the grounds back of Church street
this afternoon at two o'clock.
Roberts Post erected head stones TO the
graves of seventeen of their comrades un-
marked graves yesterday
The sisters of the Rutland convent held
the fifth night of their fair at the Village
hall last evening, and disposed of many of
their articles.
We apprehend that the rumor going the
rounds of the state press that Killington
Commandery of Rutland, will go to New
York next week to the Masonic dedication
is mistake.
Fisher has opened the ice cream season
at his favorite saloon. Ice cream can be
obtained there at any time, also in quaint
fina for far,ilv non nv martha,
We learn of serious case of depravity,
but fearing that Robert Hewitt may come
to town tomorrow and deny it, we refrain
from its publication.
MIR. James A. Merrill, Rutland's popu-
lar photographer and the best in the state,
has just taken very fine, large and hand
some picture of Congressman Joyce.
We learn that Mr.. J. NJ. Kaufman, the
former well known sewing machine agent,
has become connected with the house of
]. G. Hamilton and company, the celebrat-
ed importing and jobbing tea house of
New York.
A supposed large balloon, lighted, sailed
evening, in a southeaGterly direction and
landed, apparently, three or four miles
from Rutland. There was q rumor that it
might be Barnum's which went up from
Lynn, Mass, yesterday, but nothing has
been heard from it since.
Let our citizens remember to contribute
flowers to the soldiers for decoration.
Flowers are not plentiful, but if all who
great, according to their abundance, there
will be no lack. A few flowers apiece
from many friends will make large sup
ply. Let all remember Decoration day.
The mail train over the Rutland and
Washington railroad, Nike McKeough
conductor, was delayed an hour or more,
two miles north of Cambridge, by the
spreading of the rails caused by the heat.
1t became necessary to disioint the rails
10 get them back into place, so the train
could pass over. The train by its delay
missed connection with the Troy and Bos-
ton at Eagle bridge yesterday.
1t is said by those who have opportunity
for observation that the prospects of an eX-
traordinary crop of pears, plums, and
other small fruits were never better than
this year. The pear and plum trees, du.
ring the past week have rcsembled immense
bouquets. The SANDER against the spar
rows, viz. that they had stripped the
pear trees of all the fruit-buds, is proved
to be entirely unfounded. Numerous
trees on which the sparrows have
made their homes all through the winter
are now perfect canopy of flowers, and
with an ordinary season will produce al
the fruit that they can bear up.
Yesterday afternoon a woman--dsha
billie and with streaming locks-was seer
flying through the south end of Merchants
row. Subsequent developments proved
that the woman's name was Bridge
Waters, and that while her uncle, Darby
McDonough, left a truck team hitched il
front of her house, she took fancy for
drive and started accordingly. Her uncl
didn't fancy the proceeding, and applied

applied to Grand Juror Randall and had
complaint issued against him, and Justic
Henry Hall fined him IS and S5.16 costs
They were both under the influence o
liquor.
Mr.. Solomon Jewctt, son Of our towns
man 8. w. Jewett, and his brother ar
among the fortunate ones in the new min
ing operations in California, in the develop
ment of the New Coso and Cerro Cord
mines, which lie in the vicinity OF Owen
lakes. The Defiance lode, which IS prov
ing especially productive, and of whic
specimens have been sent US, is said to b
far richer than the Cerro Gordo. TIL
bullion from this mine has loaded NOR
than go teams of ten mules each, weekly
One hundred feet have been already cut II
the Defiance mine, across the lode, whc
ore has been smelted and sent to San Fran
cisco to be assayed. The yield is over $40
in silver and 100 pounds of pure lead I
the ton. The lead alone pays the working
