Mrs Tolinger who died at the Avenue
House last week, has been sick here some
five months. Mr.. T. belonged to lodge Of
Oddtellows at Rochester, N. Y. but has re-
ccived little assistance from them. Gale.
donia Lodge, however, have done good
deal for this brother. Mrs. T. hadn't a
blood relation in the world.
Peter Clement has pair of two-years.old
steers one Of which girths feet and l | inch
es, and the other feet 10, and the pair
weigh 2900 pounds. They are grade Dew
ons. They have been used ever since they
were calves, and for the past year have done
fair share Of work. If any one can beat
this he wants to hear from them
The Good Tempars at the Center had a
Christmas tree and splendid time Thurs
day evening in Armington's hall, some over
$1,000 worth of presents, it is estimated by
good judges, being ON the trees. The Pat
rons Of Husbandry had a tree at the same
place Christmas evening, which was de-
cided success.
The Catholics showed true Christian
spirit in allowing their curtain to be used at
the entertainment given for the benefit of
the poor, last week, but we don't think 1t
quite fair for the Union to condemn the
Temple of Honor for refusing the use OF
their curtains. They have lent them before,
and they had to be ripped apart aud were
considerably injured Probably the menu
bers of the Temple contribute as literally
for the poor as any one.

evening. Merchant asked him it he wanted
anything, but he looked askance at the Gus
toners in the store, and made no reply.
After waiting until the customers had all
gone he produced his pail aud wanted
cider Merchant, who is a temperance
man, hadn't any, and didn't know who had
After trying in vain to convince the mer'
chant that he was all right and wouldn't
peach, the boy was convinced that he was
in the wrong place and lett, but we haven't
learned how much the treats for the crowd
who had been watching him through the
window cost our mercantile friend.
A St. Johnsbury typo, noted for his late
hours, went home the other night and, after
partially disrobing, noticed something pecuI-
lar about the room. A ladys clothes were
on chair, shoes and stockings on the floor,
and, glancing toward the bed our friend saw
o night cap above the sheet. Typo is very
bashful, especially in the presence of ladies,
but he wasn't going to be driven from his
room without knowing what drove him, so,
with hair standing on end, he cautiously ap.
preached the bed, aud reaching out cautious.
ly raised the clothes, revealing the form OF
a--pillow! A burst Of laughter from out
side brought him to his senses and he sudden
ly blew out his light, but it will be some
time before he hears the last of it, The
boys say they would give good deal for an
exact likeness Of the bachelor typo when the
unusual articles in the room first attracted
his horror.stricken vision.
