Tramps have been quite plenty in
this vicinity for the past few DAYS.
Last week Thursday evening. five of
them called upon Mr.. Wilson, one of
the selectmen, for lodgings, and they
were furnished with first-class accom-
mOdatiOns at the Elm House, for which
Mr.. Wilson Informed them they would
be obliged to work in the morning.
But they preferred travelling to work
and as soon as they got their breakfast,
they took the railroad track for st.
Johnsbury. Mr.. Wilson followed them
a short distance and endeavored to get
them back, but they were too fleet of
foot for him, so Sheriff Ingalls, with as
sistance, was started in pursuit. They
failed to come up with them before
reaching st. Johnsbury. Guards we're
placed upon the roads approaching St.
Johnsbury from the west, and Sheriff
Sulloway with II. S. Cooke, went up to
a shanty on the railroad track towards
North Danville, where they found them,
and bagged the lot. They had built a
fire and were making themselves COM
Portable, preparatory to a raid on the
overseer of st. Johnsbury, in the eve
ming. They were taken to Jail and
locked up. They had a hearing We'd
nesday, under the tramp act, and will
go to the work house at Rutland Fri
day. Two of the men claim to have
come from Ogdensburg, one from
Whitehall, and two from Manchester,
N. H. They were all dead broke.
Another tramp who had been lettering
about for a number of days, sleeping in
barns, etc., was arrested Monday and
sentenced to run in a straight line from
Danville for week. When last heard
from he was in the vicinity of Peacham,
making good time.

a rather amusing incident occurred
in our place the other day, which shows
that one may be too indefinite in direc-
tons given, or too careless in observing
snch directions. Mr.. Smith of Third
street, offered his horse and carriage
for the afternoon to Mrs. Ames and
daughter of Fifth street, SAYING he
would send his man around with it al
half-past one. The ladies prepared
themselves for drive at the hour ap
pointed, but no carriage came. Two
O'Clock /; then half-past two, and still
they were "watching and waitingn for
their promised turnout. Finally, they
became satisfied that the team was not
coming, and with no little wonder and
many regrets they laid off their wraps
and went about their household duties.
Let us look into the house on Third
street: The order had been given the
man Friday as promised, and the after
noon wore away, bringing no doubt
thoughts to the kind-hearted Smith of
the enjoyment his neighbOrs on Fifth
street were having in the balmy Indian
summer air. At length the shades of
evening drew apace, but the team did
not return. Finally darkness came; a
night as dark as Erebus, as Milton saws
ana the good man was alarmed for the
safety of his carriage and it's occupants.
He called his man, and directed that he
go and ascertain if evil had befaIlen
the Ameses. The man went-but he
went down to Ames's meat market on
Front street, and found the horse hitch
ed to a post, just where he had left
him four or five hours previously
Some explanations followed and the
next time that man takes a team to
Ames's, he will modestly ask, which |

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. S.
Brock met at their place on Tuesday,
the 18th inst, to celebrate the tenth
anniversary of their marriage. AL
though the weather was unfavorable
and the travelling poor, nearly $50 per-
sons assembled to honor them on this
occasion. Many useful articles of house
hold furniture were brought in, too
numerous to mention. All had a gen.
eral good time, and rendered their best
wishes to the host and hostess on leav-
ing for their homes.
Mr.. Cloud Harvey has been offered

ticle. He was the first in this section
who put their butter up in half-pound
balls, and he has made it profitable.
Mrs. w. F. Hastie and the signers of

parts unknown, not having the moral
courage TO face his affairs. He has left
at time when he should have stood by
and done the best he could.

The Vending Lecture.

The Vending Lecture.
In the lecture of Hon. George r.
Vending on Thursday evening last,
we reckon the Young Mems Association
adopted the plan of the boy who began
his dinner with mince pie taking the
best first, so that all thereafter would
be best. At all events, a better lecture
than that given by Mr.. Vending can
hardly be expected in the entire course,
as brilliant and noted as are the lee
turers which are to follow. The sub
iect of the lecture was as advertised,
1.-The Problem of the ages" arguing the
great question, ''If man die shall he
live again ?" Although distinctively a
religious lecture, it was wholly unsec-
tartan and free from dOgmatism. 1t
was deep and searching. AS one good
man expressed it, che walked on the
bottom all the time" 1t was listened
to by large audience, and SO far as
we have heard, with exceptional favor.
The lecture committee have also done
a good thing for their course of enter
tainments in securing the st. Johnsbury
orchestra, who played for twenty min
utes or more before the lecture, and
also at its close. We understand this
will be the order at each lecture. The
orchestra play finely, making these en-
tertainments doubly attractive.
The next lecture will be Dec. 5, by
the Hon. VIM. Parsons; and at his re-
quest the subject is changed from that
advertised, to the Explorations in
POmpeii"

Hose Company Entertainment.

The Fletcher Hose Company gave an
entertainment at their hall in Bank
Block, last Tuesday evening, which was
attended by large company. The st.
Johnsbury orchestra were in attendance
and furnished music for prOmenading
which was quite generally participated
in. A male quartette, consisting of
Messrs. Herrick, Haskill, May and
Dodge, sang several times in their usual
fine style, and were heartily appre-
ciated. Refreshments, consisting of ice
cream, cake and apples, were served,
and of course received the attention
due them. Afterwards the Hose Com
pany formed and promenaded, elicitine
loud applause. The remainder of the
evening was spent in social intercourse.
This first attempt of the Company to
entertain their friends passed off much
to their credit, and the satisfaction of
invited guests. The hall was tastefnlly
decorated with evergreens, bunting and
pictures.

ing the house by shutting it up, and
damaging Mr.. Drew's business, etc,
etc, laying the damages at $1,000. 1t

upon our place, and it looks now as
though the beginning of the end was in
sight.
