THE Free Press says that among the guests OF
the American Hotel in Burlington are Naolki ii
and Nagataar Somi of Japan. That's nothing;
among the guests the American House in this
village are Stevecol By Of Berlin and Jonbak
Ley of Texas"
WE feel it to be our duty to call the attention of
our bailifs to the very frequent violation of the
ordinance prohibiting fast driving in the streets of
the village. The danger to life and limb is ser-
GUS one, and we trust they will see that immediate
steps are taken to put stop to it.
STRANGE as 1t may seem, a rousing temperance
meeting will be a novelty in Montpelier; but we
confidently look for one on the 18th, when Miss
Willard is to visit cur village. Surely there never
was more need of a genuine temperance revival
than now. Wetrust it may begin on this occasion.
THE officers of the Good Templars' Lodge were
Installed Monday evening, together with the fol-
lowing appointed officers: Worthy assistant sec

Miss c. Hargin.
WE are panied to announce the death of Mr..
Theodore A. Dodge, which occurred last evening
Mr. Dodge was native and lifelong resident of
our village-was an industrious and worthy citi-
zen-and his familiar face will be sadly missed
The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon
at two o'clock, at the residence Of the deceased.
