The many friends both far and near oil
the Rev. G. w. S. Porter, who desired to
express to him both by word and deed their
sympathy in his troubles met at the hotel,
in Weybridge on Thursday evening Dec
9, and had an old fashioned donation. The
weather was all that could be wished, no,
too cold, and the sleighing excellent. A
large number of Middlebury acquaintance
were on hand with Prof. Hatch and his
party, also party from Vergennes.
During the early part of the evening the
band discoursed sweet music which enliven
ed the games. The old game of Copen.
hagen was played by every one with salts.
faction.
The tables were spread in the dining
room with the good things which were fur
nished by the neighbors and others. The
arrangements about the house were much
better than in former years. Holsters
were in waiting on the arrival of the sleighs
and attended to the care of the horses,
giving checks and taxing care of the buff
faloes and robes, and as the guests went
into the house they were directed to the
ante rooms where overcoats and shawls
were quickly laid aside.
Every one seemed to enjoy themselves
and showed their appreciation by saying so.
Supper was served early and until twelve
o'clock there was steady stream. An ex-
cellent supper was given those who desired,
consisting of oysters in various styles,
cold meats, pies, cakes, etc. In the hall
when the games became tiresome music
both vocal and instrumental was given by
several amateur artists of the company,
Several songs by Mrs Newton of Pauton
we're applauded.
About two o'clock Capt Harrington ad.
dressed a few words to the assembly thank
ing them in behalf of tho committee for the
large attendance and ended by introducing
Mr.. Porter who returned his heartfelt
thanks for the sympathy expressed and the
aid rendered and trusted they had all en-
joyed themselves as we'll as he had. He
then dismissed the assembly with the BEN
ediction, and tho donation was declared
ended. The proceeds were much larger
than former occasion. The net receipt
being between one and two hundred dol
lars.
Among the many present, we noticed
Hon. A. d. Hayward ID. ID. Middlebrook
esq. of Ferrisburgh, MIR. II. Persons OF
East Middlebury, Mr.. Fletcher Chapman
and friends Of Middlebury, Mr.. Chas. Ad-
ans of Vergennes, DR.. Billiard and son OF
Waltham, James TorreY esq, of Pauton
and many other representatives were present
not only from Weybridge but from nearly
every town in the county.
After the donation had been closed and
Mr.. Aorter and family and the committee
had left the hotel several of the strangers
engaged the music and passed pleasant
hour or tive in dancing plain dances. MIR.
Chapman of Middlebury acted as floor
manager. Every thing passed off exceed
ingly well. No boistrous conduct or un-
seemly behavior marred this social gather
ing. But few were left at o'clock when
your correspondent started for home.
W. c. u.
A young man abobt 28, by profession, a
barber and by occupation tramp has been
helping Mr.. Bacon for some weeks past
He has until lately given good satisfaction
being very steady in his habits and man.
nerly in his ways. But Wednesday night
the back sliding commenced. He took what
razors there were in the shop belonging
both to Bacon and his customers, and af-
terward went into Fishers grocery and re-
lieved him of two boxes of cigars and some
loose change. Entrance was effective by
breaking lights of glass IN the door and
sash sufficiently large to admit his body.
About IL o'clock he woke up Mr.. +. Q.
Everets and leaving box of cigars then pro-
ceeded to the depot and took the half past
three train and proceeded to Burlington
where we understand he was arrested for
an almoft similar offense, that of robbing
q saloon OF razors, for which offense he was
bound over in the sum of $500 to await
further action. Mr.. Bacon has hope of re-
covering his property and has gone to Bur-
lington to prove property.
Tramps do not appreciate the kindness
shown them by the city fathers bere in this
the Oldest city in the state. After a good
supper warm room and comfortable bed,
bountiful breakfast is furnished and all
that is asked from them in return is the
pleasant task of pounding stone for only
three hours under the supervision of taller
e. O. Scott. If they prefer to give Yer
gennes the go-by and not to put foot with
in the limits, they can do so with the con-
sent OF every one, and would give better
satisfaction than at present.
The key supposed by some to contain
gold or gold dust and which was sent to

to contain some very nice Gke sand. So
much for Manning.
