A Disgraceful Affair.

Last Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, lectures were given
at Avenue House hall exposing Free
Masonry, by man from Chicago nam
ed Edmond Ronayne, and upon the last
night a disgraceful affair transpired.
We do not attempt to follow the many
flying stories, but it seems that certain
parties, whom we do not know, got
considerably excited over the doings of
the lecturer, and went so far as to break
the peace by blowing horns, throwing
stones, rotten eggs, ETC., at the Avenue
House and some of the audience, and
threatening other severe things. What
ever interested parties may think of
such cases, all we now desire is to look
upon them in their general relation to
the community. In the first place we
believe in free speech, and wish to see it
fully maintained upon all proper occa-
sions, as long as it is clean and decent
When it becomes otherwise the law
provides the proper restraints. A man
may undertake to discuss certain sub
jects and make fool of himself, but
there is no law against such action that
we know of. The zeal of many persons
often outruns their wisdom, when thew
seem to think they are commissioned,
not simply to convert other men to
their way of thinking, but even to driue
them to it. History is full of just such
cases, and they never worked very well
yet. We attribute no such intentions
to parties here, but simply wish to show
the natural tendency of such action.
But however much out of place it might
be considered to accuse honest men OF
roguery because they belong to secret
societies, none can be justified in re-
sorting to mob violence for redress.
The very moment this course is allow
ed, none are safe either in person or
property. We therefore entirely and
wholly discountenance such action but
would advise all who feel aggrieved or
insulted by an interference with what
they regard as their faith or their rights,
to either meet argument with argument
or let the matter pass by in entire ST.
lence.

Birthday Party.


The relatives, consisting of children,
grandchildren, and great grandchildren
of Mrs. Hannah Laid, wife of the late
Moses Ladd of Waterford, gathered at
the old homestead on the 18th inst, in
honor of her 85th birthday. This aged
lady is one of the early New England
stamp, naturally vigorous and resolute,
who raised large family of children,
carded wool and flax, spun the same
upon the old-fashioned wheel, wove
cloth, both wooden and linen in the old
domestic loom, and supplied the gar
ments of her family by the labor of her
own hands. Mrs. Ladd is yet quite
smart, goes all over the house, and has
this season labOred at the spinning
wheel. She has lived a great many
years upon the old place, now owned
by her son, o. S. Ladd, and she retains
all her faculties to a remarkable de-
gree. We understand this was happy
gathering, and it must be that the fam
lily will long keep it in remembrance.
1t is an unusual thing in family reun-
ions to see together four generations,
which was the case upon this occasion.
This matter is worthy the reflection of
all, that the fathers and mothers of the
good old stock are silently passing Oh.
They have been faithful servants, have
fought good fight, and we trust will
receive happy reward.

A Frenchman by the name of Bel

and had first-class drunk. On theil
return the horse dropped dead in the
road between East Cabot and West
Danville-literally driven to death
They were arrested and taken before
H. S. Cook, ESQ.,, and fined SIS and costs
for being drunk.
The village schools closed last Fri
day. The academy school has been
under the charge of Miss Mary Palmer
the district school on the hill under the
charge of Miss Nellie Stocker, both ex-
perienced teachers. They have given
entire satisfaction to both parents and
scholars. The scholars with theil
teachers were treated to a ride in the
afternoon which was thoroughly en-
joyed by all.

Mr.. William Higgins showed us some
stalks of herdsgrass this week, that
measured five and half feet in length.
He gathered them from different parts
of his field, and we do not remember OF
ever seeing any grass of this kind SO
tall and stout. We are also informed
that the hay crop is turning out much
better than was anticipated.
Ely, Balch & Co. are contemplating

square is to be erected near the Office.
for storing their finished goods. There
are to be general repairs upon the
shO ops, and the work is expected to be
done by Messers Adams and Calder

months, for the reason that it is grow
ing in Importance yearly, and because
of its usefulness. We are sure every
body will be glad at the evidences Of

The severe gale of Friday last did an
amount of damage hardly if ever equal
ed in our quiet village. Along Maple
street some of Che finest trees were al
most ruined. One in the academy yard
was blown over; the beautiful elm
near G. D. Mears's, which has stood the
storms of at least 100 years, was halv-
ed. The falling part in its course took
off the top of Mears's chimney and
nearly filled his garden with rubbish.

the fever for two weeks past, but no
apprehensions were felt that he was in
any dangerous condition. He was TAX
en- with bleeding at the nose, and hem
orrhage of the bowels Sunday evening,
and soon passed away.
Mrs. Lucinda D. Penn, who resided
on Main street, died suddenly last Sun
day morning about six o'clock. Although
she has been in poor health for some
weeks, she has been able to be about
and was out in her garden Saturday,
and made no complaint that she felt
worse than usual, and expired without
sign of distress. Mrs. Penn has resided
here for many years, and will be kindly
remembered by many families whose
sympathy she has had in the past. De-
serted by her husband years ago, her
position has been no easy one to main
tain herself and others who were more
or less dependent upon her for support,
but she did her duty uncomplaingly
until the end.
We learn that the wife of DR.. Frank
Bugbee of Lancaster, N. H. died sud-

child also about Is years old died of
the same disease little earlier. The
people in this section will remember
DR.. Bugbee as one of the sons of old
DR.. Ralph Bugbee of Waterford. 1t is
said that Mrs. Bugbee, who was Ian

approaching death, and wished to be
buried Immediately after that event

Mr.. Charles Carpenter has recently
been making some changes in the Pro-
bate and county clerks offices, situated
in the court house building. The plas-
tering overhead in these two rooms
was cracking and coming off, and as
the best way to repair it, the workmen
have furred down about 18 inches, lath-
ed and plastered. These rooms were
of the same hight of the town hall, now
they are foot and half lower, and
we should say, much better for the
change.

over the Passumpsic road to Bay View
Park last Thursday, started from W.
R. Junction and upon arrival here had
four carloads, three carloads more
joined it at this place, and the number
increased in all to 500 or more. The
whole program as previously announc-

excursion was in charge of Major Farr,
and was so well managed that nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the
day.

Dogs.

Dogs.
The state of Vermont gives any per-
son license to keep dog by paying a
certain sum of money year, and there
is no regulation in the law in regard to
size, color or disposition of the dog, SO
everybody is free to keep just such an
one as he pleases, aud if he pleases to
keep one that it takes the whole family to
keep off of passers-by, or that is bound
to chaw up every dog it sees, or leap
up to horses head and snaps and
barks at every passing team,
why he is only exercising his right, and
the public are in duty bound to submit
to it. At the same time there is no law
against a person keeping such a dog
tied up, or killing of him, for that mat
ter, and we would suggest that one OF
the last expedients be resorted to by
some dog owners in this vicinity.

Republican Rally.

There will be grand Republican
rally at st. Johnsbury Aug. 5th, at
which the issues of the impending po-
litical campaign will be discussed by
Gen. Stewart L. WoOdford of New
York and other prominent speakers
from abroad. Gen. WoOdford is uni
versally conceded to be one of the
most brilliant and eloquent political de-
bators of the nation, and it is to be
hoped that every Republican, every
doubter and every honest Democrat
who can possibly attend, will be pres
ent, and hear the reason why Vermont
should stand by her glorious record of
the past.
