It. M. Chapman & Co., made raid
on the butter last week and put the
price up cent pound-a good idea.
There is no reason why Middlcbury
market should not be such that rs good
prices can be obtained as any place in
the state.
The journal tells about our having
bicycle on the brain. We are of course
very much ashamed 10 have our vice
made public in this rude way but after
all, we believe IL has proved less harm
full to others thar 10 ourself, which
was not the case when the Journal man
had "Steamer Twilight" on the brain.
There was meeting of the resi-
dent alumni of Middlcbury college OH

John G. Manncy has sold his gro
Gerry 10 Mr.. Lewis Mawson. Mr..
Nancy has kept good, cleane gro
Gerry, and is pleasant man to deal with,
and his retirement is a matter of re-
grct. Mr.. Mawson gained many
friends during his connection with
Dan. Adams in the Central meat mar
ket, and the business seems to have
fallen into good hands.
The journal advises us to poultice
our head with drop of fish oil. We
learn that this operation is supposed to
promote the growth of weak intellect
We thank the journal for its well in
tended Kindness, aud are sorry we are
unable to reciprocate with a useful pre-
scription for its editor, for the reason
that we know of no article which will
grow intellect where there is no germ
to start from.

LADIES' LIBRARY.-Thcrea are many |
who feel that they have sufficient read
ing without paying one or two dollars
year to the Library. Why not pay
it and make some one member who is
deprived of the privilege, and thus con-
fer benefit and pleasure upon others,
at the same time giving TO the Library |
the much needed assistance. Remem-
Der that persons who wish can become |
members of the Ladies' Library for the |
remainder of the year on payment of
only one dollar
Last Monday night about one
O'Clock the people on the west side OF
the bridge were alarmed by the cry |
of fire. On examination it was found |
that the students were up to their old
tricks of having little fire of their
own which the public were cordi-
ally invited to attend. This is get |
ting 'too STALE" and if the college |
should really get OH fire il is doubt
full if the fire company could be ralli- |
ed promptly from thes suspicion which an
alarm from that quarter would now |
create.
We regret extremely that we were |
so far msnformed as to be led to |
charge that our brethren of the Jour- !
nal paid even few cents for the editO- |
rails which they procured written for
their columns, and we are obliged to |
the Journal for setting us right. 1t
seems that they do not pay Zone cent
or more" for them. This indicates n |
proper sense of their value, but seems |
TO leave the able writer TO pay for his
beer out of his own pocket. We sub |
nit that the journal should pay for
his beer, or he may turn up some day |
without the elevation of mind requisite !
for Singing able "sass" at the Register.
Some talk and some feeling was
created by the omission of the notice of
this evenings caucus from last weeks |
Register, some going so far as to assert
that the Withholding the notice from us
was Intended to keep our readers from
"
that this impression is incorrect II.
NJ. Chapman, the chairman of the Re-
publican town committee, informs us
that the notice was written ont for us
in time, but was accidentally overlooked
owing to circumstances which might
occur to any business nan. While re-
GREETING that we were not informed of
the caucus in time to give notice of it last

The performance of "Don Munio"
by the Euterpe Club on Wednesday
evening next, is looked forward to
with much pleasure. The legend of
Don Munio is taken from the Spanish
papers OF Washington Irving, and has
been verified and set to music by Dud-
ley Buck in very brilliant and eflec-
tive way. Various scenes from the
lie of those romantic times, such as the
assembly of warriors of the Don for
the hrnt, the Vcsper service in the
chapel of the castle, the capture of a
Moorish bridal party, furnish themes
for stirring and impressive music, and
for striking and exciting dramatic stu
atoms; while the fortunes of the
principal personages furnish opportu-
mites for fine solos, duets and concer-
ted numbers. A large audience will
no doubt be attracted.
The Journal says it has the best Of
reasons for believing that the witness
on whom it professed to rely in de-
I Tending the libel suit of Judge Knapp
was approached in an undetermined
, manner, and, by money or other
! means inlnced IN ahsant himaalf from
! the session of the court" The Journal
IS undoubtedly describes the case cor
rectly, except il omitted TO state that il
was the defendants who induced the
witness to absent himself. Will the
Journal explain why it did not make
use of the other witness who was still
in town, and who told them when they
sounded him, that he should testify t.
