West Rutland Notes.

Many persons are Ill in this vicinity.
Dysentery, measles and cholera infantum
are the prevailing complaints.
A gentleman who had his arm broken
recently called on resident physician, who
set the broken member 6elo,o the elbow.
A subsequent examination by another M.
d. discovered the break ADORE and none be-
low. Strange how two of trade never
agree. .--
A horse, attached TO a phaeton. belong
ing TO Mr.. j. L. Flagg of Clarendon
Springs, became frightened at the depot en-
Saturday, and dashed down Marble street
in a wild, zig-zag course, scattering bas-
kets, parcels, etc., promiscuously along the
route. The household goods of Mr.. Strong
were on the street brfore his door, prepar-
atory to being moved. The animal made a
direct sweep through these, demOralizing
things generally. He was caught opposite
the meat market of Magin s. Thompson.
The vehicle, only, was slightly injured.

nue. J. S. Tuttle, house on the same

morning recently trio of festive young
ways drove up before one of our drug

urgent plea that it was about time to
SODA No response being received to re-
peated demands tripartite covenant was
drawn up and agreed to and a mass meet
ing extemporized on the spot. Honest par
lamentary rules were strictly observed.
The great question of the moment as to
whether ''tired" way farers should be denied
the privilege of entering any public instl u
ton where, when and how they pleased,
was "put before the house," vigorously
pushed and debated upon and finally ac-
cepted IN toto. Minor questions of import
ance were also thoroughly discussed, much
to the edification and pleasure of many
startled denizens of the street, who aroused
from their slumbers, watched the interest
ing debaters. After vigorous and lengthy
siege the proprietor appeared and motion
| for an adjournment to some more retired
| locality. The motion was emphatically
| squelched, er parte. That meeting was
duly called to order, the primary question
had been duly discussed. Was all this
legislative action to go for naught Not

prevailed throughout the meeting and so 1t

have been fearfully abused and subsequent
enquiry proved that it had been driven all
day without food or drink and urged on IN
a brutal manner. Action was taken against
the parties and Sullivan was convicted and
fined fifty dollars and costs. During the
filling out of mittimus he took ''leg BALI

Measles are raging to an unusual extent

reports some forty cases. Two or three
have proved fatal. MARBLE.
