WE regret to learn of the serious illness OF our

taken sick ON Wednesday, the day of the funeral
of his neighbor Mr.. Avery Cummings, and has
been unable to speak for several days. He is now
improving and is thought to be ont Of danger.
MONDAY was the most oppressvely hot day
of the season In the afternoon thunderstorm
arose, accompanied by a violent wind which
broke off limb at least a foot in diameter in the
yard of Dr. C. NJ. Chandler. 1t fell upon the
roof OF his house and completely demolished his
chimney.
The runaway of the Pavilion hack team last
Wednesday came near resulting in total smash.
1t ran from the Wells River depot and turned to
go across the Union House bridge, the planks of
which were partially torn up. One horse kept on
the plank while the other fell through, but was
held up by the sleepers which were about twenty
inches apart. 1t was extricated by men who were
at work on the bridge without serious injury.
DIR. ORDwAy of Lawrence, Massachusetts, has
for number of years been in the habit Of having
an annual excursion OF his friends and invited
guests into the country during the summer. The

and proceed to the White Mountains tomorrow
morning. The band will be out and so we trust,

Two of the WArcHMAN employees went fishing
last Friday and Saturday to Fast Roxbury and
Brookfield and succeeded in catching splendid
string of over two hundred trout, and wish to re-
turn their sincere thanks for permission to fish on
the brook to Messrs. Jacob Wardner, Phineas
Steele, Buck, Ora Boyce, X. Y. Blanchard, r. H.
Hail. Deacon Howard and Mrs. |. Smith, and also
to Messrs AFRO j. Boyce and r. Y. Blanchard for

A. L. STONES new bakery on South Main street
IL now in active operation Mr.. Julius Selma,
who is associated with him, though not co-part-
ner is fitting up the front store with counters at
which will be served hot coffe e and cakes This
is good addition to the business of our town,
and we predict for them the success which they
merit. Mr.. Stone has long been known as a sue
cessful caterer, and Mr. Selma though new at the
business, is thoroughly reliable and worthy man.
LAST Friday the dancing bear made his annual
appearance in our Streets but his visit was very
short While performing on South Main street
he frightened the horse of Mr.. Adams of East
Montpelier, which was hitched in front Of Put
nam Marvins store. The horse reared, plunged
and broke away, and had just started to run when
he was cleverly caught by Edward Dodge. The
owners OF the bear evidently thought distance
would lend enchantment to the view, and shook
the dust Of the town from their feet and departed
in Il lively manner in the direction Of Barre They
were hailed several times by people who wished
to see the bear dance, but not even the prospect
OF very hard cash could induce them to tarry
with us.

WE always take pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of all who appreciate solid qualities combined
with style and beauty in household furniture, to
the celebrated establishment of F. Geldowsky. at
Fast Cambridge, Massachusetts. Without rival
as designer and draughtsman, Mr.. Geldowsky de-
votes his entire attention to that department,
while the Messrs. Keeler-genuine Vermonters as
they are-superintend the manufacture and sale
of the goods. Ten minutes ride, in the horse
cstrs, prinBs you 70 tne uOOrs OF tne extensive
warehouse while, by saving the enormous ex-
pense Of a mammoth salesroom In Boston, the
goods are offered at very large discount from
the ordinary city establishments. We advise all
visitors to Boston, whether in immediate want OF
furniture or not, to visit this house, and look
over the latest designs and the almost endless
variety of household goods which are being OF
fered to the public.
