Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1877-04-14

reserve of volunteers have promised
to contribute something to add to The
interest of the occasion.
Our townsman, Mr.. Seth Meacham,
"sugared OIL coo pounds Of sugar in
one day, last week. We call this
quite ''sugaring OH"
Our farmers should know that we
take all kinds of farm produce, wood,
sugsr, &c, for subscription to the
HERALD. Bhng in your names.
The smiling countenance Of Hon.
IG. w. IIartshorn, adorned our
sanctum one day last week. He was
in town on business pertaining to the
school affairs. We hope bis calls
may be frequent.
Oar citizens will be sorry to learn
that II. G. Bates, formerly a citizen Of
this place, and editor of the HERALD,
has met with quite loss by fire, in
st Johnsbury, where he is now
located in the practice Of law.
Our readers should bear in mind,
that our terms for the HERALD are an
odcauce. II takes money 80 run a
newspaper, and that money must come
from our patrons. We hope our
subscribers will bear this in mind, and
govern themselves accordingly.
We were pleased to receive call
from our good naturod, genial High
Sheriff, j. A. Mansnr, Of Island Pond,
on Monday last. We hope we may
receive another from him soon
Ga friendly one) for he is a jolly good
hearted man, in friendly way; but
officially, beware of him.
We really think this is a year of
wonders. 1t was only this week Mon
day. that our portly, good natured
and good looking young townsman,
Charles A. Benton, sawed wood all
one forenoon, which gave him an
excellent appetite for that nice sugar
at Mr.. Rich's, in the afternoon.
We shall have an agent to canvass
tie county for the HERALD, very soon,
aud we hope the people Of Essex Go.
viii subscribe literally and cheerfully,
We shall need every mans help in
Essex Co. to make the HERALD self
sustaining institution. We are here,
aud are agoing to stay here; and we
shall expect the hearty cooperation
Of every citizen Of the county.
Guildhall is getting to be an awful
place. Only last week the printer
pitched his tent, "deyil' and all, in
the most conspicuous place he
could find in town, and now, this
week, a resident Of Island Pond has
settled here, temporarily. The per-
son alluded to, is one Baptisto La
Blame, who Thought il advisable to
appropriate the small sum of $12, or
Whereabouts, belonging to Geo. La
Plante, to his own use. La Blame
was transported to this village last
Tuesday, by Sheriff Mansur. and
assigned q room in the county jail
where he will remain until the Septem-
Der term Of Court. We have grand
good accommodations for sucE
characters here.
Our town was visited, last Monday
} night, by three Of those contemplate
Iawless, ignorant nuisances, known as
cramps" Sclectman Follansby, pro
vided two Of them with lodgings at the
Essex House, and the other, he tool
home with him. This makes oul
"deviP uneasy. He says if there is
any one thing he hates more thar
another, 1t is tramp, and we ar'
inclined to think that there is reason
for the people at large to be more
} cautious of this class Of Migrants thai
, they are. Not one instance in I
hundred is there really any need TO
any manifestation of charity for thi
class Of human beings. If the author
tiles of the State would devise som,
way by which they might be deal
with according to their just deserts
our State, county and town would, il
a short time, be freed from these laz,
f outcasts.
t Sugar parties are all the rage her
!, now. Last Monday afternoon part
F.. was invited out to the sugar house 0
e Charles Rich, and we "Knight Of til
; Black Art" happened to be one Of tn
> favored ones to receive an Invitation
y to go. Not having an opportunity t
attend gathering OF that kind bcfor
n this season, we gladly accepted tn
G invitation. On arriving at the Hote
