a quarter of a pound.

County Council in June.
Mr.. j. +. Pierce, who broke hi
leg last week Thursday, was seen OF
our streets again on Monday morning
looking none the worse for his unfor
tunate accident. Mr.. Pierce evidentl,
does not believe in being sick long at |
time.
: Mr.. G. G.. Peck, who recently pur
, chased the Star Mill, is now thorough
" repairing and refitting it, and whcr
done it will be the best appointed mil
i'm this section. Mr.. Peck deserves 6
good share of the patronage of the peo
pie.
Clarence Harvey, of the College
who has often been witnessed in the
same line before, has painted gigantic
bill board against the cotton mill with
a very handsome announcement of the
exhibition by the students next We'd
nesday evening.
On Wednesday of this week, Hen
ry Lane started for Texas sixty two
and three year old merino rams, select
ed from some of the best fiocks i'm this
county. His son, Charles ii. Lane,
goes with the sheep to New York city.
They are to go by schooner from that
city.
"A tile drain has been laid across
the street near Mrs. Morrison's house
on South Pleasant street. II would not
be bad idea if pipes could be laid
along some of our principal streets, to
take the place of the rather unsightly
bitches.
We regret to learn that Mr.. A. j.
STYLES condition is still considered pre-
carious, his pneumonia being compli-
Gated by other ailments so as so render
his case very doubtful. His many
friends can only hope for the best. He
is attended by DR.. Halsey. A brother
of Mr.. Styles is taking care of him.
Mr.. j. w. Lovett has recently
taken the agency for the celebrated
Wilcox 4 White organ, manufactured
at Meriden, Conn. 1t has all the mod
ern improvements as will be seen BY
the cad" in another column of this
paper. He has one on exhibition at
his residence on North Pleasant street.
"A prospectus from Keller & Chase
of Burlington, announces the publca-
ton of the Sunday Crucible, new
journalistic aspirant for favor in that
fortunate place. Now that Merchant
has left, the Review has gone into de-
clinafan the Clipper become seedy,
perhaps the Crucible will have good
and lasting chance to cook news for the
Burlingtonians.
The selectmen have received from
Mr.. Charles Hilton, G. E., of Albany,
N. Y, the plans and specifications for a
stone bridge over the creek. The plans
are handsomely drawn, and the struct-
ure they represent would be most de-
sirable one and credit to the town.
The selectmen advertise in another col
umn for proposals for building the
bridge. After having received bids
they will call town meeting and lay
the matter before our voters. 1t seems
pretty certain that the bridge can be
built for not more than Sic, 900.
Last Sabbath was communion day
at the Congregational church. The day
was made memorable by the baptism
and receiving into the church of forty
four persons, thirty-three on profess
sion of faith and eleven by letter. Six
| little children were also baptized dur
ing the services, and four more after
ward. With one exception this Is the
largest addition to the church at one
time for over twenty years. 1t must be
ascribed to the wonderful awakening
arising from Mrs. Hammond's labors
here, the blessed results of which, how
ever, it is said have not yet been seen
in their entirety.
There was very pleasant party al
the lecture room of the Congregational
church Wednesday evening, engineered
by the Young ladies of the church,
which was attended by nearly two hun
dred people. Cake and ice cream were
served, whose soothing influence was
aided by the strains of vocal and instru-
menta. music by some of our best per-
formers. The musical part Ofthe affair
was under the charge of Miss II. M.
Upper. Thursday afternoon about
fifty of the little children met and en-
ioyed their share of the sociable. 1t
Is hoped that this is the beginning of a
| on of al lor al 10 In, t,a oh
Tho reserved seats for "Capuletta,"
are nearly all sold, even at this early
date, and the Middlebury Dramatic
Association will probably have the
pleasure of playing to crowded house.
The scenery is neat and tasty, SO far as
completed, and the affair will probably
be success. The following is the

The LATEST FROM EMORY. Last
week we left Emory, the escaped con
Wet, over the lake in the state of New
