tives of the "great unknown" species, and fun
and revelation were the order of the evening.
As George shurt'eff, of East Montpelier, was
returning home from this village he stopped at a
neighbor's While there his horse started on, and
he followed on foot The cold was no intense that
both his feet were frozen and amputaton seems
unavoidable.

Sherman's March to the Sea- Reserved seats

WE STATED some time ago that the death Of
Miss Myra Daniels, of Woodbury.. caused by
taking corrosive sublimate by accident. 1t is now
generally conceded that she died of diphtheria.
We can hardly see how the two could have been
so nearly alike as to mslead any one The friends
of the family regret very much that such a rumor
has been circulated.
CIRCULARS informing various parties that they
have BEEN lucky enough to draw two hundred and
eighty dollars worth OF jewery in lottery, which
will be forwarded them upon payment of only |
fourteen dollars to cover the necessary expenses
of the office, are flooding the country. OF course
the thing is a swindle, and we trust everybody
will treat 1t as such.
The American people are fast learning that poor
cooking does not pay, and are demanding better
cooked food. This has directed our inventors to
the production of improved culinary apparatus Of
all kinds. One of the most successful articles
lately produced in this line is the Standard
Broiler," for cooking beefsteak, etc. A simple, |
common-sense article that any cook will under |
stand at first sight 1t can be used over either a
coal or wood fire, and does broil steak nicely |
and quickly that every one who sees it wants one |
Mr.. j. J. HATLINGER, the inventor and pro
prietor of the " Champion Carpet Sweeper" will |
be in town for few days for the purpose OF sell |
ing town and county rights for the same. From |
a careful inspection of this sweeper and after a |
thorough trial OF its merits we are prepared to in
dorse it the best thing of the kind in existence
1t Is worked at less than one-half the labor OF |
the ordinary sweeper; does not touch the carpet |
thus avoiding all wear; it is noiseess, and raises
no dust. Every family should have one and |
parties purchasing right will be sure of profit
able and pleasant occupation. Mr. Hatnger |
will visit the families in town for the purpose of
exhibiting his sweeper, but no one will be asked |
TO purchase.
