Premium Stock Sold.


Harvey Fisher of Waterford, man
noted somewhat for his love of good
horses, has sold the three years old
colt that drew premium at the late
fair, for $50. 1t weighed HOO pounds.
Mr.. Fisher has sold two other valuable
horses raised by the same mare-one
for $500, the other for $500. Mr.. Hen
ry Dawson of Waterford, who exhibit
ed nice pair of oxen here last week,
has since sold them to Mr.. Charles
NOurse of Whitefeld, N. H., for $751;
so. Mr.. Willard Kinney of the same
town, an old drover, and who exhibited
extra looking stock at the fair, takes
five yoke of oxen to market this week.
Messrs. j. F. and E. E. Hale, also of
Waterford, have sold TO Mr.. BigelOw,

by w. E. Peck of Passumpsic, and
which was so much admired at the fair
last week, was sold while upon the
grounds to Mr.. James Roy of Barnet,
one of the most successful farmers and
stOckmen in the county. We learn that
Mr.. Peck received 1895 for them. Mr..
Roy will probably try and see what a
years nursing will do to them.
Mr.. Horace Peck has sold the odd
OK exhibited here last week for SI35,
and it goes to market this week. That
excellent pair of G.. w. Felch's start
ed for market Monday morning.

DR.. j. H. Averill leaves us in a few
days. We don't know as he has decid-
ed where he will locate yet. He leaves
his practice here on account of his
health-not being able to stand our
severe snow storms and north westers
during the winter. DR.. n. c. B. Havi-
land, a former resident, (son of Walter
Haviland), located at Bath, N. H., dur
ing the past year, will take his place.
Dr. Haviland is thorough, practical
man, and makes a success of everything
he undertakes.
G. w. Harrington, d. C. harrington
and John Gill at West Danville, have
improved the appearance of their build
ings by the application of a fresh coat
of paint.
On the move: d. j. Saunders has
moved to the tenement over his boot

the D. j. Saunders place, and taken
possession. Geo. Stocker moves to the
tenement vacated by Stone. John Page
has moved to the tenement in the Elm
House; and Martin Rowe has moved
into the Caswell house vacated by
Page.
Newell Stocker shipped two cars of
sheep from this station last week Mon

butter.
The ticket office at the railroad sta
ton was bu"giarized last Sunday night.
Admittance was gained by cutting out
light of glass and raising the window.
All they got for their trouble was
three cent postage stamp. The same
night the grist mill at West Danville
was entered in the same way. Mr..
McNaughtOn's desk was broken open
and six cents and a revolver, worth
1925, were taken. Not a very luc:e-
tive nights work.
Last Monday night wagon cushion
aud whip were taken from the wagon
of Mr.. Frank Stevens of Walden, while
his team was htched under the shed at
West Danville. The cushion was re-

Lease of Avenue House.

Mr.. B. G. Howe has agreed to lease
the Avenue House for one year, with
privilege of taking it three years if they
desire, to Geo. Converse of Boston, and
Nathaniel Brown of Claremont, for
Sl26O year the lessees to take the
furniture aud the livery property at
appraisal. Messrs. Converse and Brown
are the gentlemen who traded for a
lease of the ST. Johnsbury House, and
have been waiting here three or four
weeks to get possession. Failing in
this, they take the other house. Mr.
Howe will remain here for the present.
This Avenue block now rents for about
$500 year, which we should call
good paying property.

Essex County Court.

Hon. James Barrett, Chief Judge.
Court was called to order Sept. 81, and
on the roll call of grand and petit Jurors
every man answered to his name.
Judge Barrett remarked that this was
an occurrence which he never before
found i'm all the courts he had held. On
reading of the docket only one case
was set for the jury, and that was set
tied by the parties just before trial. No
state cases were found for the jury, and
they were discharged the second day
before noon. A petition for divorce
was denied Mr.. A. H. Bonett, the proof
not being sufficient to convict of the
crime charged. A bill of divorce was
granted to Frank Spiller of Concord,

left his shop. He promptly advertised
his loss in the Cdiedonian, and Monday
morning the wallet was returned to
him safe and sound. 1t appears that as
Mr.. VIM. Douglass of West Concord
was going over the railroad crossing
near Belknap's, he saw the wallet in
the road and picked it up. When the
papers came out he learned who the
owner was and promptly returned it.
There were nearly $50 in the wallet,
and as the road was full of people at
the time it was found, Mr.. Rancour feels
he was pretty lucky that it fell into
such honest hands.

ing the pocket of Mrs. 1. p. Dana at the
Higgins auction rooms on Main street.
The boy had hidden the money, some
five or six dollars. in the cellar wall OF

Waterford.

Waterford.
Under the obituary head will be
found notice of the death of Hon.
Brigham Pike, who died at Derby Line
last week Thursday. Mr.. Pike was a
native of Waterford, but some 40 or as
years ago he removed to Derby Line
and went into trade. About 1916 he
returned to Waterford, to the old home
farm, where he remained some twenty
years, when he went to Derby Line
again to live with his son, Henry O.
Pike, whom he survived several years.
Mr.. Pike was one of the substantial
old-time citizens of Waterford, and
held many town offices, and was
at one time assistant judge of the coun-
ty court. He was married three times.
His only child, Henry o. Pike, and all
his near relatives except his brother
Nathan of Waterford, and his sister,
Mrs. Jefferson Hosmer of Littleton,
died before him.

for intolerable severity. The testimony
was disgusting, and showed violence by
force and threats, with any amount of
tongue abuse. Fl. c. Ide for petitioner.
Seven foreigners were naturalized. The
grand jury were sitting until the third
day. Several bills were found, but
none received sentence the present
term except young Woodland, who plead
guilty to a charge of stealing horse,
wagon and harness of Mr.. Cole from
the north part of the county, and was
sent to the house of correction two
years, the Judge hoping from his youth
that his punishment might equally for
ward the ends of justice and lead the
prisoner to acts of reformation. Other
cases were continued.

A Queer People.

Every year, band of Gypsies, So
called, travel through, and stop in this
section, so that nearly verybody knows
something about them by this time.
Personally we know nothing very bad
about them, but it looks a little odd
that they can go around, great, stout,
tough men, as they are, with lots of
women, children, horses, and dogs, and
find people foolish enough to give them
all sorts of things for their support. In
this respect the matter looks like a
downright nuisance. A troup that was
around last week had seven or eight
men, four or FIVE women, several chill
dren, ten or eleven horses, and four
dogs! 1t looks TO us as though they
were as we'll able to work as other folks,
and it don't look just right to encour-
age this lazy, nomadic life, by all the
time giving to them.

Cattle Killed by Cars.

Last week Sunday morning, about 3
o'clock, the Montreal Express, when
near the Stephen Farnsworth place in
Barnet, ran over and killed one of Hor-
ace Peck's large oxen (the mate of
which wore Grape on his horn at the
fair last week.. and three yearlings
owned by B. S. and w. A. Dow. The

weighed 1900 lbs, and the one killed
weighed about $500 lbs. 1t is said that
over two bushel baskets full of rough
tallow were taken from this OK. Moth
lug else was saved. Fortunately no

They are melting 80 tons of iron a

yet far behind their orders. Since
1880 came in they have averaged over
one railroad track scale for each work

months than they have ever made be-
fore in year. Such items as these are
powerful arguments against a change in
