1t ia not often that we forget to report
matters of interest 90 they transpiIe from
week TO week among 1s but we did forget
or neglect to mention three or four weeks
ago that a pleasant and profitable fair and
festlva. came off at town hall by the Cath
ole denomination, which by the way is
quite numerous here, and one hundred and
twenty-five dollars in clean cash was
raised for the benefit of their church.

exercises. The passages were prudent,
plain, practical, pointed. Yea, more; they

An audience Of s~eventy-fve or q hundred
listened for an hour or so to Mr.. w. L.
Rogers on the theme of temperance. He
was introduced to them as a converted
actor and his speaking was a little in the
| comedian style. What he said did not ap-
pear to make much of an impression on
his hearers, or cause the least sensation
either one way or the other. The pledge
was moi referred 70 by the speaker, neither
was there any pledge signing. The most
interesting and stirring feature of the eve
ming was the closing address to the throne
| of grace for the welfare of the cause by
Rev. E. I. Hooker. Quite a number were
present who are not in The habit OF attend
Ing such meetings among whom were a few
of the Catholic faith. They are all temper

Mr.. d. E. Atwood attended an exhibition
of the "Cooley" method of setting milk at
| Benson week before last, he was also pres

last week, and was highly delighted with
the former and he is absolutely enthusiastic
over the latter and can not say too much in
praise of both objects. Mr.. Atwood is one
of cur most enlerprisipg and intelligent
farmers.
Editors or correspondents are not ex-
empt from tribulatlons any more than are
towns, states and nations. In this connec-
ton let me say that bigger, better and
brighter men than G.. ID s. have been
charged with writing those sarcastic say
ings in the GLOBE last summer over the
sainted signature of "Peter," first, second,
and third chapter, relative to state normal
school and seminary, and the card that ap-
peared in the GLOBE Saturday In regard to
the flour business aud The good wife should
have been over the name of p. Robinson
instead of j. Robinson as his first name is
Peter.
Rev. Mr.. Foster. Rev. f. T. Hooker,
aud Miss Lucy Noyes are assigned parts on
the programme Of the county Sabbath
school convention at Poultney next We'd
nesday. Mr.. Foster reads an essay, Miss
Noyes speaks in the interest of the prim-
airy department, and Mr.. Hooker oficiates
at the gu estion drawer.
What a pity it is that our town or select
men have got an elephant on their hands,
having reference in town report to the
town liquor agency for the sale of liquors.
The town, state or county had much better
have al elephant on their hands than a
bulldOzer. Castleton %tribulations and
evaporations are truly trying.
The stars and stripes are swapping aud
streaming On or over Main street in honor
of the illustrious chiefs of the republican

inauguration day.
