y inciuuing tue FACULTY OF the college, q
m their house Wednesday evening. tn,
: BILE. "
-Ex-Presiden C.. b. Hubert O
Middlebury college has removed TO New
Haven with his family. lie expects
soon to accept position in literary
4 institution in New Jersey at a salary O
= $1,000.
We regret to learn the illness o.
Miss Jennis Marley. She had gone tc
attend school at Saxton's River. where
she was soon attacted with hemorrabot
OF the lungs. She was brought home
one week since, and remains ouite sick
though we trust not dangerously so.
The continued dry weather h as
= developed some wonderful propensi-
ties for thieving. We have heard OF
cases In town where the people were
obliged to keep close watch over
their wells and cisterns, and even then
their water would be taken.
Byron Fleming, who is well
known to all our village people as the
champion truckman and ice dealer, has
sold out his entire business Including
teams, ice, &C., to John Goodro. Mr..
Fleming's health will not permit his
continuing in the business.
The work on the Methodist church
is progressing quite rapidly. The slat-
ing and outside painting is completed
and the attention of the workmen is now
directed to inside work. Its general
appearance is greatly improved and
when the new windows are in it will
look very tasty
The spirits visited Middlebury last
Tuesday evening under the direction of
j. M. Colville 1.-THE noted scientist"
Several astonishing tricks were per-
formed. For some reason the spirits
did not feel equal to the work of raising
pianos, passing around flowers, &C., but,
the weather might have had good deal
to do with it. There was fair house
and all seemed to:enjoy the sport.
Mitch Sweeney bid off horse at
Mr.. Shacketts auction last Saturday.
On Monday said horse was brought out
for exercise, and the way he exercised
his heels through the village showed
that he was a thorough horse in what
everhe undertook. All who were Oh the
streets thought if room was what he
wanted, they could accommodate him.
No particular damage was done.
Wednesday evening between sew,
en- and eight o'clock, as Henry M.
Foote and wife and child, of Cornwall,
were driving across the bridge they
met Gerge Williamson and Jacob Eells
of the same lively burgh, who were
driving at very fast speed. The teams
collided and Mr.. Foote'S buggy was
overturned. Mrs. Foote and child
were picked up and taken into Shell
don 81 Co.'s store, where they were
found all right except some bruises.
The buggies were somewhat injured.
Young men would do well to exercise
caution about driving over the bridge
in the evening. 1t was q fortunate
chance that the results in this case
were not very serious.
What the Manchester Union says
August 20, 1880, about Henderson & |
Cranes great show:
There was another good house at
Snaths Opera House last evening to
prove the popularity of the entertain
ment given by the Henderson 81 Crane
combination. The bill presented is
really good one, and the specialities
are extremely good. How such pro-
gramme can be given at such popular
prices, surprises everybody. To night
will be devoted to the amateures and
number of local artists will appear.
The programme will be one of the best
of the week and there will be q big
house tonight, and Saturday evening
will be the gala performance of the
season. Much interest centers i'll the
appearance of Mr.. Ike Smith, manager
of the combination, who will appear
as an end man. During the perform
ance Wednesday evening the combina-
ton were the recipients of large and
beautiful floral testimonial from f. j.
Watts of Boston; the hall should be
packed at the entertainment this even
ing.
The assignee's sale of M. T. Shack
etCs property came off last Saturday at
the farm. The stock and personal pro-
perty were all sold. The farm, subject
to mortgage of nine thousand dollars
and to homestead was bid of by Rob-
ert Nancy and IL. Gorham for fifty
dollars. A little difficulty has arisen
ont of this sale which promises to re-
suit in an interesting lawsuit. 1t seems
that the assignee, Darwin Rider, before
giving or offering deed of the farm,
took upon himself to make sure of the
fifty dollars and expenses from Robert
Manney by trusteeine the bank
for the sum of seventy-five dollars
dollars, thus taking the money without
giving any consideration therefor. AT |
terward, as is claimed, he declined to
give the deed in accordance with the |
auctioneei's terms, but put into it the
oAA hvo IS
sion of the farm by Mr.. II. +. Lothrop,
the mortgage thus throwing upon the
purchasers the job of suing him out,
which might be two years job, not
withstanding the fact that, as is said,
Mr.. Lothrop has no right to the present
possession, as his mortgage is not yet
due. The purchasers naturally declin-
ed to take any more incumbI ances than
they agreed to, and threaten to sue the
assignee for damages.
EAST MIDDLEBURY.
The Forge continues to run with
success, while the water is found to be
quite limited for the power.
Our Garfield and Arthur club has
kept upits meetings, supported mostly
by speakers.
"A while ago, one of our overtime
river boys got little too much of the
'tangle foot" and struck his brother
with club, breaking one of his bones.
The apple crop is quite limited.
From Ripton and our own vicinity we
have seen quite a number of loads pass
to the cider mill, one neighbor making
nine barrels. ~
