Judging from the great quantity of wood
which the company is having drawn the
present winter, one Is led to believe that

of smoke for the next few months, and 1t
will also be found that during the time the
smoke is being whirled from the tall chin
ney of the mandatory, good many thou
sand yards of cloth have been whirled into
market: Mr.. j. S. Gitt, the resident mem
Der of the firm, is a practical msnufactu-
rer, and gives his whole time to the varied
departments Of the establishment, and un-
deretanding perfectly every branch of the
business, the whole concern moves with
the precision of clock-work. 1t is the ear
nest desire of every right minded person
here, that this mandatory may long con-
tinue blessing to those it gives employ
ment to, and remunerative to each of its
enterprsing propfietors.
"March meeting" draws sensib'y ner
once more, when, as from tine immemor-
al, the usual number of martyrs will be
sacrificed for the good of the town. 1t Is
somewhat currently reported, that some Of
our town officers prefer to retire TO private
| life. We think as little fault has been found
with the various officers of the town du-
| ring the last twelve months, as for like
period during our remembrance. We think
| the voters might have done worse, even if
they had gone further for material for town
officers. 1t is good policy for towns to use
their very best material for town officers
money ia saved to every taxpayer by so
doing.
Now that the presidential question is vir-
tually solved, the next in order, more es-

derstood that some have heretofore exper-
imented somewhat extensively, but 1t is be-
lieved that ss,,yet no patent has been ZAP

Judging from recent developments, there
are numerous nuisances in our little city, at
least in the eyes of the law. On Saturday
last Constable Martin of Ferrsburg made
raid on the saloons of MIR. Sumner, Henry
Fisher, Jack Ryan and of Ahn & Co. MIR.
Ryan's house was also favored. At most
of these places goods contraband were
found, consisting of cider and ale with oc-
casionally jug of whiskey. These was
conflscated for the public good. In some
mysterious way hammer in the hands of
Mr. Ryan came in contact with a jug that
had been appropriated by one Of the SER
wants of the law and it followed that the
Jug was shattered and coptents spilled. The
majesty of the law must be respected.
The Vergennes public library has just re-

thirty carefully selected volumes. In the

it will occupy position by the side of the
city water works, the pride of our citi.
zens.
