The Coming Fourth.

Inc Com1ng FourIn.
AS everybody is expected to go some
where on the 4th of July we give a list
of attractions in this vicinity.
AT LYNDoNvILLE
There is to be grand temperance rally,
a program of which may be found else
where in this paper. Also Horse
Race, purse ,of $1,000, Pedestrianism,
Potato Race, and various other attrac-
tiOns. The program at the above place
is such as to suit all classes, so you can
"pay your money and take your choice"
AT swANTON.
On this day Swanton is going to lay
itself out and do big thing as the fol-
lowing condensed program will show {:
Hose racing, boat racing, foot racing,
hurdle racing, tub racing, creased pole,
creased pig, Ye ancient horribles, pa
rade of Firemen, illumination. Among
the purses to be contested for is one OF
$3.50 in gold to hose companies; 800
to first and $50 to second. The Island
Hose company of this place have made
arrangements to attend and compete
for this prize. There are to be three
boat races for purses amounting to 500
in gold, and this with the other attrac-
tions advertised, which includes an ex-
hibition of the wonderful Lake Cham
plain snake! will make up full day of
amusements. An extra train will leave
St. Johnsbury at $50 a. NJ. and return
ing leave Swanton at 6 p. M, and will
carry at reduced rates.
AT EAST CONCORD.
A program of the days doings at that
place will be found under the head OF
East Concord in this issue, and those
who do not like to attend celebrations
where there are large crowds, will
probably find sufficient patriotism in
this quiet hamlet to suit them.
AT BURLINGTON
Barnum's big show is to give three ex-
hibitions upon that day, and we sup
pose that reduced rates can be had Ovel
all railroads for those who wish to at
tend.
To those whose inclinatious or health
will not permit them to mingle in sucf
festivities as indicated above, the quie
family picnic, with a "lodge in some
vast Wilderness" is ever attractive an(
sensible.

Ordination.

In st. Andrews Church last Thurs
day, Bishop Bissell admitted to the
holy order of Deacons Mr.. Edward P.
Lee. He was presented to the Bishop
by Rev. N. F. Putnam with whom he
has been pursuing his studies the last
year. The Rev. A. Hull, d. D., OF
Montpelier, and the Rev. Louis A. Ar
thur of Island Pond, were present and
took part in the services. This was the
first ordination in st. JOhnsbury by a
Bishop, and the service throughout was
impressive.

Cabot.
The Receivers of the Cabot Carriage
Company have by order of the court,
taken possession of all the real estate
OF Hector F. Britt, he being a heavy
indorser of the paper of the Company.
Grass and grain crops are looking
very well in most parts of the town and
the potato crop is receiving fresh az
rivals each day of the notorious potato
bug, but very little of the remedy
from those "square blocks" with direc-
tions inside, uses him up.
The wool has nearly all been bought
in this section for 30 cents per pound.
The meat market has again changed
hands. Frank R. Warner owns it now,
1t does not take long for a man to get
rich in that business if all that have
owned it of late have been so fortunate

The Late Burglaries.

The Late Burglaries.
The burglariOus operations in this
place last Thursday morning were more
extensive than at first reported. Geo.
w. Spencer's and E. F. Browns houses
were both entered, and others were APP
preached, but the thieves were fright
ened away. Some persons came about
the premises of Sir Thaddeus Fairbanks,
awaking one of the dogs whose barking
awoke the man at the barn, who got
up and made investigations which
frightened the marauders away. Some
time during the same night parties en-
tered the house of E. F. Brown, situated
in the heart of the village. Entering
through a parlor window which was not
fastened, the burglars took a large
kerosene lamp, (having first shut the
blnds) and proceeding to the dining
room took all the silver ware they could
find, including choice articles which
had been given Mrs. Brown on impOr-
tant occasions, but leaving the plated
ware. Proceeding to the pantry they
helped themselves to some nice pressed
beef, a new cake, straw berries, etc,
which the house wife had prepared for
graduation day on the morrow, and
departed. The family all slept up
stairs, and heard no disturbance. Mr..
Browns bedroom door was locked. Mr..
A. D. Rowell and wife, who were stop
ping there, did not lock their door but
did close it. In the morning it was
found open, by which they infer they
had call in the night; but nothing
was stolen from their room, although
watches and other valuables were upon
the bureau. Mr.. Rowell's overcoat was

The last of last week the ''drive' of
logs in the Connecticut was opposite
Waterford. For miles the liver was
so filed with the "jam" as to nearly
hide the river. 1t is a difficult job to
get them along as the river is shallow
and the water is falling. They have al
ready been thirtythree days on the
way, with force of nearly 300 men.

Change of Time.

The Railroads change time next Mon
day, so the table printed upon the first
page will be cancelled after Saturday.
The Passumpsic road puts on two new
trains Tbair trains leave St Johns
bury as follows: Going SOuth-Mail
$50 A. NJ. New York & Boston Ex-
press 1925 A. NJ. Day Express $50 P.
NJ. Accommodation SAG P. NJ. Night

st. Johnsbury Mail 40 P. NJ. New
York Express 7.25 P. M. Day Express
800 P. NJ. Accommodation 1854 A. M.
Night train 2.12 A. NJ.
By this arrangement passengers leav-
ing New York at sos in the morning
reach this place at 7.25 in the evening
but there is no train from Boston con-
Meeting with this train, as at one time
anticipated. 1t will be noticed that the
time of every train is changed some
what, and those interested should have
the CdIedOnian handy for reference.
With five passenger trains each way
the wants of the travelling public are
literally provided for.
The p. & o. makes a radical change
in its time table next Monday. The
Mail train arrives from the west al
1925 A. M, and leaves at I0.45 A. M
1t arrives from the east at 300 P. NJ.
and leaves at 4.30 P. NJ. The mixed
train arrives from the east at 500 A. NJ.
and leaves at S.45 A. NJ. 1t arrives from
the west at 400 P. NJ, and leaves at
800 P. NJ. 1t will be seen that by this
arrangement the morning train from
the west connects with the New York
and Boston Express over the Passump-
sic, and that the P. & o. train from the
east connects with both the PassumpsiC
Day Express and Mail train.

Dear Dispatch: was sorry to see the
small audience at Judge Farrar's lecture
last night at Association Hall. 1t seems
hard TO draw q large audience in this city
by purely intellectual lecture.
/ have long thought that If course Of lee
lures on some practical subjects, illustrated
by Interesting facts and experiments, could
be gotten up. they would not only pay the AS
|sociation, but reward, in some sort at least,
the lecturer. They would certainly, in my
opinion, do great deal OF good. 1t is sur
prising how few people think OF the pc
culiar inechaEism OF many things they
themselves have been doing daily all their
lives. / suppose there are gray-headed
men in this city who have never reflected
upon the mechanism Of drinking their tea
and coffee. They think the fluid goes into
the mouth and stomach just as water goes
into funnel or bottle; while in the first
case the fluid goes uphill and in the latter
down-hill. oBeying the universal law OF
gravity. Many people have no idea how q
fly walks on the ceiling, or how an insect
whose eyes are fixed and not movable (as is
the case with the house. fly can nevertheless
see behind him, nor how chicken or ca
nary can sleep on his perch. Harm is done
all over the country by the deluson Of
60 moon->truck" people. Few persons I'M
derstand the action OF steam in propelinc
bodies. Indeed, the knowledge OF some OF
the most simple facts OF science are hid from
the great multitude; and yet il these simple
facts were properly explained and illus
trated they would greatly interest as well rs
profit them. | suppose great many people
cannot give the reason why the WoOflen
goods they find so comfortable are warmer
than cotton that they so gladly now lay aside
till next summer. Indeed, how few people
comparatively hink: and inquire into the
"why and wherefore"
I suggested year ago to professor at
Richmond College that lie could deliver
course OF lectures on natural science that
would interest and ediiy the young public
especially. Ii the Young Mems Christian
Association would engage such lecturer,
and sell the tickets for even ten cents lee.
turc, so as to reach all classes, think sue

lures for fifty cents, or ten for q dollar,

hand, | believe from 800 to 1000 persons
could be secured for every lecture. Pre-
fessor W., I think, could "till this bill +"
