l/-Mr. John Cardellc, whose illness we
4 mcntioned last week, died at his resi-
dcnce on Court street Thursday morn
ing. lie has been i'll some time, and
quite rapidly declining since the death
of his wife, last November. A post
[ mortem examination was held Thursday
afternoon, from which 1t appeared that
. he had corroding ulcer at the pyloric
oritice of the stomach, around which was
an indurated condition extending into
the pancreas. There was perforation
through the stomach in the center of the
ulcer. Mr.. Cardclle has been a resident
of this town for twenty-five or thirty
years, coming here from the other side
of the mountain. lie was a member of
the Congregational church and much
esteemed as a worthy man and good
, citizen.
The library sociablc at the residence
of Mrs. j. NJ. Slade OH Seminary street,
Tuesday evening, had too many obsta-
cles TO contend with to have the large
attendance it would have had, but was
q pleasant and successful affair in every
respect except in numbers. And
considering the fact that from fifty to
sixty of our people went to Vergennes
that evening, and many others were de-
tanned for other causes, there was a
good attendance. The usual features of
these popular entertainments prevailed.
Miss Emma Higlcy, Mrs. L. ii. Higley,
Miss Helen Topper and Mrs. l.. NJ.
Fletcher contributed in the way of song.
The refreshments were bountiful, and
would have been ample for the crowd
that would have gathered but for the
| distractions referred TO above
j. W. Dorsey, Esq, of Benson, has
become agent for the Cooley system of
| setting milk in vessels submerged in
water, for the county of Addison, and he
will make public trial of il for this
place very soon, for the information of
all persons Interested. The difference
between the price realized by farmers
generally for their butter and the price
of "gilt edged butter" such as may be
made uniformly and without regard to
the weather or climate by the employ
ment of this improved method is enor-
mons, and always clean profit. This
fact everybody knows and il needs no
proof. What is wanted is cheap sys-
TEN which can be readily applied and
which will ensure the perfection neces-
sary to secure these high prices. And
these conditions are offered in this sys-
tenn. 1t is not an untried experiment,
but certainty fully attested by promi-
nent dairymen whose testimonials are
absolute proof of the value of the sys-
TEN. But, of course, every one should
see for himself.
CHARGE OF BAsTARDY.- TO the edi-
tor Of the Register AS l have been ac-
cused of bastardy and published to the
public, feel it duty that / owe TO my
self and friends TO say here, that am
innocent of that charge. do not say
this, thinking that it will make any diff
ference with my trial, for | do not. |
say il because ] am innocent; and if |
did not say so, there are many who
would think me guilty, who otherwise
will believe me, those that are better ac-
quainted with me than the people of
Middlebury. II is hard to bear, but l
must bear il. | am well aware that the
law is in her favor, but am ready to
swear before God and the accuser that
am innocent. II is all that can do. L
hope God may forgive her, but | never
can. There are now twelve in jail; our
number are increasing quite fast. We
nave very good fare, as good or better
tiidi We cAl)tCt. we are
like gentlemen by Mr.. Trip and fami-
ly; they do all they can to make il
pleasant for us. | do not say this to
encourage any one to come here, for we
don't want you. we have got a full
house. Wv. MAYO.
"A bit of practical christianity was
exhibited by a citizen of this village last
Tuesday afternoon, which ought TO be
known for the influence il may have in
checking the prevalent tendency of the
age to lose faith in humanity, and assign
a selfish or other unworthy motives TO
the acts of our fellowmen. Bernard
McNulty, who was not arrested for his
share in the larceny at the Star FIGURING
Mills at the time of the transaction, and
at the time his accomplice was put I'M
der legal discipline, on account of some
circumstances appealing to the sympa-
thies of the prosecutor, ii was said, had
since given evidence of not being re-
pentant, but of Boosting of his achieve
meDt. So il was thought best that he
too should be brought to answer, and
warrant was issued. On arraignment,
the mitigating circumstances were
pleaded, and il seemed such hardship
| for his mother to take the boy away that
the case was continued thirty days to
give him further trial. Ex-Governor
Stewart then purchased the boy good
suit Of clothes and appealed to the boys
better feelings to go to school and make
IA man Of himself, and the young fellow
with streaming eyes promised to do go.
lof the season was the reception given on
| az nj In t.aEi Il 81
Mr.. George &. Chapman, on the arrival
home of his son, 2. Fletcher Chapman
with his Young bride from their we'd
ding tour. The gathering was large,
and all the circumstances of the occa-
sion cOnspired to give it eclat. The re-
ceiving party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
George G. Chapman, Mr.. and Mrs. p.
Fletcher Chapman, Mr.. and Mrs. Il. NJ.
Chapman and Miss Lizzie Chapman.
The guests included, besides the elite of
the town, friends from Bridport, Sails
bury, New Haven, Cornwall and other
places more remote, and the spacious
rooms seemed small on account of the
crowds which thronged them. After
the greetings and congratulations a
pleasant social visit was enjoyed, the
bridal gifts, which were numerous and
elegant beyond comparison, were in
spected, and refreshments were served,
consisting of cakes, coffee and ice cream,
and at length the company retired. This
reception was one of the most brilliant
affairs we have had, and yet was one of
the most enjoyable. After the older
ones had gone, the young people en-
gagged in the exciting amusement of the
dapee, until the small hours. =
