Excursions ON THE PAssUMPsIc r. r.
We call attention to advertisements
elsewhere, Of special rates to excursion
lists over the Passumpsic road to several
well known and popular resorts
This road is also making low rates to
sunday Schools and large excursion par
ties. A trip to Montreal, and run
down the Lachine Rapids, with a ride
about the Mountain-or visit to that
quaint old walled city of Quebec, with
It's strange and interesting sights, and its
wonderful Montmorency waterfall-or,
perhaps better yet, ride by steamer
down the st. Lawrence and up the Sage
nay river. are among the things that
every one should do sometime, and per-
haps this year Is as good a time as any.
The publishers of several newspapers
in this State, publish now and then a
skunk Inst, in which they call names and
show the public who those are. in the
several towns, that deliberately and
meanly undertake to cheat the poor
printer out Of his dues. Among the ma
ny delnquents that now owe more or
less for the MONITOR, there are few
that have received and are receiving this
paper, with no Intention of ever paying
for it; others have sneaked off and al
lowed their paper to remain uncalled for
in the post Office and others have lied
repeatedly in regard to paying for their
paper In the back part of our sub
scription book are the names Of lot of
these fellows, and we propose, before
long to publish the names and describe
the character Of the worst of these men,
so that the public shall know who they
are. We have great patience with chrOn-
ic shiftlessness, much pity for the poor
and unfortunate, and make allowance for
the fOrgetfulness Of the race but for
those who wilfully and diabOlically I'M
dertake to cheat us out Of our honest
dues, we have not the least compassion
This class will 90 into our skunk list.
