Rev. w. W. Atwater gave an inter-

Wednesday evening, drew good house,

Higlcy's genius brought into bold relief
some of the very best points in the
writings of Dickens. His application of
the "Artful Dodgers modus operandi
of doing business was rich. That
Alaska hotel beats the Duluth initiation
all to death. Lecture committees should
call on the Professor.
Parties claiming to represent
bankrupt stock of cloths aud other goods
have been about Vergennes recently, and
it is properly inferred that there is a
large amount of humbuggery about the
transaction. When goods are offered at
half value it is usually safe conclusion
that the whole concern is fraud. A
little common sense exercised with no.
gard to these matters would save some
from being bitten. Bear it in mind, men
don't make business of going about the
country at great expense for the purpose
OF selling goods at less than value.

in Wisconsin. One National Jenkins
struggled himself into a car on the Mil.
waukee and St. Paul railroad, which had
been chartered for the transportation of
horse. Near Lyle the car took fire
and he received injuries from the smoke
which, it is claimed, have entailed pull.

the company for damages, and, though it
was proved that he paid no fare, that the
company had made no contract to carry
him, that the train hands did not even
know of his presence in the car, where
he had no right to be, the jury gave
him 81 500.
