EAST HUBBARDToN.
The effects of the late storm, commenc-
ing on Monday evening the Goth inst,
are found to be unusually disastrous. Mr..
S. W. st. John suffered more than any
other one in this neighborhood. The wind
removed from its foundation a new build
ing, and threw one end into the cellar, and
broke u moving machine and horse rake
stored there. The roof parted, but on
bringing up the building, the roof came to-
gether again. The wind also tore off one
corner Of large barn. Damages are estI-
mated from $50 to $780,
A barn belonging to Asa Taft lost part
of its roof.
Mr.. g. A. Lincoln is able to be out again.
The humps are working their way out,
in every case the patient has recovered.

Editor Rutiand Globe The correspond
ent of the GLOBE at Fairhaven makes
wise suggestion TO those who will be our
law makers the ensuing fall, that is by al
tering the time of taking the grand list in
this state, by having it done May LIST, the
same time as in New York and Massachu-
sets, which would be a great benefit to
majority OF the tax payers in Vermont in
more ways than one, then the grand army
of rich ''trampS" who live nowhere and
control large sums of money, loaned for ten
to fifteen per cent could not so easy evade
paying taxes to help support the govern
ment that protects tlsn 10 some ore of
these states, whereas now they claim April
LIST to be residence of Massachusetts, or New
York, and May 1st this army not only
TANKS Vermont but halls and breaks ranks
in most every town in Vermont and re-
ceives free protection for the next twelve
months. II Vermont would make the
aforesaid charge in the day of listing, her
grand list would thereby be increased and
the expense of listing would be less. There
would not be this floating population in the
border towns.
Monday March 20th Dir. j. w. Bennett
