Z ling his friends in town. He arrived
N from San Francisco last Saturday. He
lis now In New York. He is looking AZ
though the climate of the Golden State
agreed with him.
Last Wednesday morning John
Mcmahon went down the alley way in
the rear of Dyer's block and took q
wetting by getting into the creek. He
hung TO Ellis's water pipe until helped
out by q friend, when he swore of from
the use of water in that form any more.
Some of the papers have got things
mixed with regard to the sale of Col.
Stowells sheep, saying that he sold l24
to Cyrus Jennings of Hortonville for
$4,000. The fact was as stated in our
last issue, 90 were sold for that price,
. Mr.. Stowell had previously sold "a of
his sheep to Ii. #. Dean, of Cornwall,
for how much we have not learned.

ink furnished US by Mr.. N. G. March of

"A statement that has gone the
rounds that Albert Chapman was about
to issue q monthly periodical devoted
to live stock matters, is premature. Mr..
Chapman contemplated such publica-
ton, but his other duties will prevent
him from devoting the necessary time
to II, at least for the present.
-Vennor, the Canadian weather
nuisance, managed to hit the mark
when he prophesied snow OH the Sec
ond or third of February, but whether
through good Workmanship or through
fortunate guess is q point on which
people will differ. He was lame in
predicting that it would clear of in
tensely cold.
The means of communication in
Middlebury have been increased by q
"string telephone" between the rooms
of our popular tooth carpenter, w. H. |
Kingsley, and j. J. Griffin: 1t is said
to be q success. Other parties DESTROYS |
tances might try this plan, which is ca
sy and cheap. N
AS Mr.. AFRO Benton was returning1
from Cornwall yesterday, he was
thrown from his sleigh and dislocated
his shoulder badly. Drs. Porter and
Russell were called, who reduced the
severe dislocation. 1t is quite a shock
to man of his age, but we understand
he is doing well.
M. III. Read closed the sale vf hie
goods Wednesday evening, and has
since been packing them preparatory to
returning 10 Massachusetts,. He sold
thirteen hundred dollars worth of his
stock to N. f. Dunshee of Bristol, some
days since. Mr.. Read has won many
friends during his stay here who will
be sorry to have him leave.
Mr.. Norman Harvey had the mis-
fortune yesterday afternoon to break
his leg. He was getting up OH the hay
in l.. II. Stoves barn in order to pitch
load on to wagon, when he fell,
first on the rack and then to the floor.
His leg was broken below the knee,
both bones being fractured. DIR. SUIT
ton was called to attend him.
During last Monday night man
came to the door of Mrs. A. A. Collins,
on North Pleasant street and tried to get
in, working away at the door for some
time. 1t finally becoming somewhat
monotonous, she varied the proceed
ings by firing a revolver at him, which
so confused him that he did not return
any compliments, but departed, having
evidently mistaken the house.
We have seen the bronze medal,
and the copy of the decree granting the
same, which was awarded to M. j. Els
worth for sample of wool exhibited at
the International Exposition at Paris in
1878. The medal is handsome one
about two and three quarters inches in
diameter and weighing about five
ounces. The copy of decree is an artis-
tic piece of work, ornamented with ap-
propriate figures and designs. Mr..
Ellsworth has had 1t framed to hang on
wall.

: "A call at the meat market Of our
neighbors Benton Il Williamson, shows
/ one of the best markets which any
. country town we know can boast of.
At this time they have on hand the
largest stock of fresh meat we have
seen in Hiddlebury, their walls being
, covered with the quarters, as we'll as
with fine lot Of mutton, pork, chick
ems, and other equally edible articles.
One department of their business is
! "trying out" lard, which they do every
day, having boiler and press, and put
ting the nice looking product up in neat
, pals of different sizes for sale. They
keep on hand everything appropriate TO
country market, and are evidently
