The excursion from st. Johnsbury to
upper Bartlett last Saturday, was sue
cess in regard to numbers ifnothing more.
Seventeen cars, including two observation
cars, and two stake cars, were crammed
with passengers estimated at eight hun
dred in number There was not much
delay going east, and as most of them
had an ample dinner along the "thirty
minutes" allowed for refreshments at
upper Bartlett were not productive of
their usual display of gastronomic in
sanity, though the scene at the depot
restaurant was everything but cool. The
mercury indicated PIG degrees above
tophet. The atmosphere was clear, and
the Notch seemed to have put on its best
bib and tucker of sunbeams to meet the
occasion. The view was grand in the
extreme. One of those rare glimpses at
the Divine Economy which almost makes
a fellow feel like taking up his outlawed
paper at par and interest, but such
sensations are too fine for anything but
| Sunday wear and too fussy and eXacting
for every day acquaintance. On the way
home we were stopped at the Fabyan
with word from Richardson's mill to
hold the train two hours as there was a
| long pile of railroad wood burning on the
track. We staid there till about eleven
O'Clock stroled about the house and
grounds, lounged in the parlors, sat on
the piazzas and resting our cowhides on
the balustradcs talked wisely of the sur
rounding country, stood in the dining
room door and picked our teeth-in
short, tried to make ourselves and every
body else believe that we were the very
heaviest quality of exotic stock, though
our acting was disturbed somewhat by
practical old guests inquiring how the
pototo crop was our way this year.
There was an open bar at the 'Fabe,"
but / never saw so little drunknncss under
| the circumstances. Our crowd was made
up of the most temperate boys and the
homeliest girls that l ever saw together.
Some of the girls were so painfully home
ly that fellow couldn't look at them
without hating his mother We got back
! to Whitetield about 1890 A. NJ, and the
st. Johnsbury folks didn't get to bed till
about two O'Clock. Many Of the cXcur-
sionists were farmers who had left their
stock unattended, and whatever pleasure
they missed by the delay at Fabyan's they
made up in swearing about their neglect
ed stock, for Il man never knows what
real comfort is till he gets long funeral
procession of grievances in his heart and
has plenty of time to sit on the grave
yard fence and damn the undertakcrs.

crossing, and will soon have gathered an
abundant crop of hay, mostly in good
condition.
Our young folks went to a centennial
ride a few nights since, and had very
enjoyable time, we should judge from the
reports they give of the same, and as
they did not have sufficient exercise in
riding from here to Wilson's mills, they
stopped at Mr.. Whittemore's where they
''tripped the light fantastic toe" for a
few hours; but they should not have
"tripped" so long by an hour or such a
matter, for about the time they got home
ward bound, it commenced raining and
continued raining all night, and notwith-
standing they all persist in denying the
truth of the statement, we are inclined to
believe that they were really little damp
when they arrived at home. They speak
of having been very pleasantly entertain

Last Saturday as j. B. S. Chandler was
starting for the excursion on the P. & o.
road, his horse started suddenly, throw
ing Mrs. Chandler out of the wagon
striking on her head and shoulders, in
juring her severely. She seems to be i'm
proving, although very lame yet.
The excursion on the P. & O. road the
18th was double success. Seventeen
cars, well filled with passengers, passed
through Lunenburg for the mountains.
The party went to Bartlett and returned,
from st. Johnsbury for $3.50 each, and
from Lunenburg for $1.25. One hun

close attention showed better than | car

Chandler seems to understand whereof
he speaks, though some of the ladies might
think that tight lacing did not represent
"soft heads, all seemed ready to admit
that repudiated subscriptions for Grail
road bonds " did mean it. The public eX.
aminations from the audience for index
to character, were very truthful, and the
unanimous expression of the audience
for continuance of the lectures shows
their appreciation of the doctors abilit,
to interest and please. Next lecture OF
