"A telegram from Montpelier to
Sheriff Trip, announces the sad inteld-
gence that our states attorney, George
II. Chapman, Esq, of Vergcnnes, died
at the Pavilion House in that village,
about eight o'clock this morning. The
arrangements for the funeral are not
completed as we go to press. We shall
give further account of him next week.
The pleasant custom of making
New Years calls was not so fully OBJ
served this year by the gentlemen of
Middlebury as in former years, but
those who did make calls seemed to en-
Joy them more than usual, if possible.
Some of the ladies gathered in small
companies, and several receiving at the
same house, so that the gentlemen were
not compelled to make such long Jour-
ncys as when going to all the houses.
The committee on pedigrees of the
Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders Asso-
citation held their last meeting to con-
slider applications for registry, at tho
Addison House in this village, last Fri

have now been accepted. The work
of preparation for publishing the regis
ter is now being pressed forward with
the utmost vigor, and no delays will be
allowed except such as are necessary to
secure the greatest possible accuracy.

tho great vocal clown, and Hank White,
the favoritc comedian, cannot fail to

MAKE NO MIsrAKE.-ltineran ped
lars and agents, representing the cheap
est and most inferior goods, If they
have little or no principle-as is fire.
quently the case-are quite likely TO Of
fer to furnish the instruments having a
world wide reputation, at even less
than the manufacturers price, if by this
means they can increase their chances
to dispose of their worthless instru-
ments. We would therefore caution
any that may be entertaining the idea
of a purchase. and we take pleasure in
informing such that the four very best
instruments now produced in the world
are sold exclusively by Mr.. Fred II.
Cluett. who represents the manufacture
crs for very large territory. If, there
fore, you are thinking of purchasing a
Stcinway, Chickering, or Haines Bros.
piano, or Estey organ, do not fail to
call upon or address Mr. Cluett or con-
suit with one of his duly authorized
agents. In this way only can you be
insured satisfaction.
