The old Stewart Block is complete
ly torn down this week. The side
walk has been INSTRUCTED badly durinI
the process, but things will soon b.
put 10 rights. A brick was fount
in the walls marked with the dat,
"1S04." Also four ancient jugs, ant
other curiositics were unearthed. I'm
fortunately for the finder, the contents
of the jugs were not potable.
Prof. Frank Bradford, of Benning'
ton, and Rev. MIR. Mott, of Addison.
called ON us, last Monday. Prof. Brad.
ford reports an unusually good season
this winter. He has filed engagements
in many of the most important towns
in Vermont and neighboring states,
several of them being recalls, second,
third and fourth times over. Our citi-
zens should move early next season
with a view TO having him read in Mid
dlebury.
The Professor asks the student who
is rcciting in Greek Testament why
Paul and James took the front seats in
the synagogue. Student replies, 81
suppose the back seats were full"
Sufficient" exclaimed the Professor,
"The next man may answer the ques-
ton" Next man gives ii as his opin-
ion hat Paul and James were under
conviction. Glass collapse, and Prof.
passes on to the next verse.-[Under-
graduate.
Mr.. T.. l.. Stewart is coming to the
front as a maker ofhandsome furniture.
He has done some work for A. =. Tup-
per, in ash and black walnut, which for
beauty of design and finished workman
ship could not be excelled. Mr.. Stew
art is now making a chamber suit for
one of our business men, which, when
finished, will be a handsome Job, besides
which the owner will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that II is well and hon
estly made TO last.
Services at the Congregational
church have been continued during the
week. f.. b. DEMO, from Andover
Theological Seminary, conducted the
SERVICES. Tuesday evening Rev. Geo.
f.. Hall of Nergennes, preached OH
''Thc Character" On Wednesday
evening Rev. J. G.. johnson, of Rut-
land, spoke on the subject of "Belief."
A social meeting was held Thursday
evening. Tonight Rev. 5. p. Wilder,
of brandon, will speak.
A Walking Association has been
organized in town and n walking match
is advertised TO take place in the Acad-
envy hall next Wednesday evening.
The contest is open to all gentlemen OF
the county. There is a purse of 1926
divided into three prizes of S12, So and
So to be given to the three respectively
making the best time. The distance to
be walked is ten miles. The band will
be in attendance. We are informed by
the committee that this will be a well
ordered and heightened entertainment.
The members of the band are de-
laying organization, awaiting some ac-
ton of the town. There are plenty
who are willing to do all they can to
sustain a band, yet they do not feel
able to give their own time and bear all
the expenses. Some OF the instruments
are out of repair, and some parts of the
Uniform need TO be renewed. If the
town would be willing 10 contribute to
the amount of a hundred and fifty
dollars or so and do it at once, there
is no reason why we may not have II
first class band.
1t is said that there are in town
poor people OF both sexes who want
wo,kto do i'll order to live, but know
not where TO look for it. To any such
needy persons, who are unable to pay
for advertising, we shall be happy to
afford space 10 state their wants and
qualifications, with the view of helping
them to situations. We will insert an
advertisement, not to exceed SIX lines
of advertising space, for three weeks
ifdesired, for any n of the class above
specified, and for the purpose named.
This offer will be open until the
end of May, and we cordially invite
those in need to avail themselves of il.
