Sleighing is again good in this vicinity.
William Otis, Esq. is to open a cheese
factory this spring, with prospect of lib
eral patronage.
The usual March meeting passed off
quietly, resulting in the reelection Of near
~ all the old board of town officers. The
sclectmen of last year deserved the
compliment of reelection because of the
prudent and faithful management of af-
fairs. The same may be said of the listers,
whom, it is hoped, will be as faithful as in
1874.
The town debt is less than for several
years past. and requires tax of only 25
cents on the dollar.
Rehearsals for the concert soon to be
given here by our home talent are held
twice week, under the direction of Prof.
George A. Metzke, with Mrs. c. +, jack
man as pianist The proceeds of the enter
tainment are to be applied towards the pay
ment tor the Estey organ now in use at the
Methodist church.
The only disturbing element at the annu-
al March meeting, was contest for over
seer of the poor, which resulted in a ma
jority of twelve on the second ballot for
Joseph III. Gaines, the incumbent of last
year, with fifty dollars increase of salary.
Rev. William l.. Woodruff the acting
pastor of the Congregational church, will
close his labors about the first of April.
John Ainsworth, whom it has been ru-
mored was to leave the first of March tor
Cambridge, N. y, has not yet left for that
place.
George w. Stone is visiting his brother,
prominent merchant in Boston, but has
not procured business situation in that
city, as has been reported.
Miss Naomi Noyes, who has been visit
ing friends here for several weeks, has re
turned to Bennington.
1t would have been well If Castleton,
like the neighboring town of Hubbardton,
had voted to purchase a new hearse.
Castleton was unfortunate in its selection
of fence viewers, as one of the board has
not been on speaking terms with the other
two for years, and, in response to his cleo
ton, said 81 accept the office, but will
not yoke with Them" AS.
vERGENNEs.
The Episcopal church are holding regu-
lar lenten services. The new rector, Rev
MIR. Chaplin, is carrying on good work
and exerting a healthful influence among
the young people of his congregation.
The citizens of Vergennesa are very cool and
unconcerned about the idiosyncracies and
squibs of the trustees of the State Reform
school making bad bargain in the pur-
chase of the site in this city. They know
that Governor Peck is at the head and
knows what he is about.
Sam of the Stevens House met with a
loss last summer of check for about
thirty dollars. Search was made but all in
vain, not trace of it to be found. Last
week lady friend on a visit a few days at
the Stevens House opened Sans bible, and
to her establishment discovered the missing
check, which caused great joy in the house
hold. The query is why Sam has not dis
covered it before? 1t is generally thought
Sam will peruse his bible more Frequently
hereafter.
