At very early period in the season our
villagers have been gathering the usual ice
harvest.
Laundering is very active-our mill-yards
are being fast filled with logs.
The average temperature for three weeks,
from Nov. 22d to Dec. 18th inclusive, was a
fraction over 80 degrees below freezing point
or less than degrees above zero, ranging
from 10 to a degrees. About two feet OF
snow has fallen.
An adjourned annual meeting of the
Jacksonville Library Association will be held
at village hall on Wednesday evening, the 22d
inst. A general attendance of the members
of the association is earnestly desired.
For a country village our stage facilities
are favorable for travel and business transac-
tons. Three mail stages go out and return
each day in the week, Sundays excepted,

Your correspondent has recently had the
privilege of examining an order issued by
Isaac Tichenor, who was governor of YER
mont for eleven years, from 1897 to 1906, in
elusive, also in 1908, appointing James Rob
erts, the father of the late James Roberts of
this place, one of the assistant judges of the
county court of Wiudham county. 1t bears
the governors signature, is written upon
parchment in clear, bold hand, and is dated
Nov. l, 1905. 1t was found among the pa
pers of the late James Roberts, has the age
of three-fourths of century, and is a relic
worthy of careful preservation, which it
will doubtless receive from the descendants
of him who was honored with a responsible
position in the early history of the State

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

WHAT BRArTLEBoRo DEALERS ARE OFFERING
THEIR CUSTOMERS.
Our Brattleboro dealers were never better
stocked with attractive goods for the holidays,
and trade has opened with a liveliness not
equaled before in recent years.
Good books are always safe things to buy
for holiday or other gifts, and these are found
in unusual variety this year at Cheney 4
ClaPp's, their selections embracing sets of
standard works, elegant single volumes in
variety, and no end of illustrated juveniles
This firm is having brisk trade in steel en-
cravings and albertypes, and notable feature
on their counters is the great variety of pho
tograph frames. For valuable and useful
novelty, the stylographic pen holds promi.
nent place among their choice goods
We have never seen Van Doom 4 Sons
store SO handsomely arranged as at present
Elegant silver plated goods hold prominent
place in their stock, as usual, and in this de-
partment many attractive novelties are shown.
They have very carefully selected stock of
Chinese and Japanese pottery, together with
French and English decorated wares in varie-
ty. All depths of purse can be suited III their
store, and articles selected there will be sure
to give satisfaction.
Hawley has never shown 80 great a variety
of attractive holiday goods as this year. A
special feature is his sets of the famous Kioto
ware, which he sells ut prices within the reach
OF eyerybodys purse. He has full sets of
the Chatterbox books, which it is always safe
to buy for children of all ages and a line of
dolls, which begin with the plebeian 25-cent
china head, and range all the way up to the
aristocratic young miss in wax, Just arrived
from France. These are only few of the
specialties. For the full list read his adyer-
tlsement, and we will vouch for the truth of
the statements there made.
U. W. Frink's specially is in gold and sill
YER watches and gold chains-goods of gen
uine worth which it is entirely safe to buy.
He also shows some late and handsome pat
terms IN Rogers plated goods, a fine line of
mautel clocks, and a careful selection of Jew
elry. For present sure to be acceptable to
lady friend one of his elegant opera glasses
is sure to fill the bill
For his Christmas greeting TO very wide
circle of customers o. j. Pratt announces an
important reduction in the prices of winter
goods His stock is always full and COM
plete, and our lady friends can hardly go
amiss in making selections from his large va
riety of fancy articles selected with special
reference to the Christmas trade.
No Brattleboro firm has ever had better
reputation for goods of sterling worth for the
holiday trade than Hanger 4 Thompson,
and their stock was never more complete
than now. II embraces watches, chains
clocks and jewelry of standard worth, with
elegant plated and solid silver ware in variety

News comes from Montpelier that the ad-
vocates of a charter for parallel line of rail-
road from Brattleboro to South Vernon have
accepted an amendment allowing a parallel
line to be built to Bellows Falls also, and that
the railroad committee have unanimously de-
cided to report favorably on the bill in this
form. There can be no objection to the
granting of a charter on this basis, for it will
be all the better for Brattleboro it, by the
MEANS we secure competing lines north and
south. The effect of this new move ought to
be, and probably will be- to compel the rival
railroad companies in interest to adjust their
differences and arrive at an agreement by
which the Connecticut River road on the one
hand will run its trains independently over
the ten miles to South Vernon, and the Cen
trail Vermont on the other will run its trains
Independently over the Valley road between
Bellows Falls and Brattleboro. The Central
Vermont management claim to have been
ready, for long time, to enter into an equi-
table arrangement of this kind with the Con-
necticut River company. A factor which may
enter into this contest, provided the two in
terests named do not come to terms, is the
New Haven & Northampton, familiarly known
as the Canal, company, which has already
completed its road nearly to Turner'S Falls,
and which has repeatedly been mentioned as
anxious to get to Brattleboro.

Reduction OfNRrrO " Gauge Passenger
RaIea.

The managers of the Brattleboro & White
hall railroad, in Difference to the general
sentiment of the people on the line of the
road, have reduced the price of fares about
20 per cent, placing them at 4 cents per
mile. Under this tariff the fare from Lon
donderry to Brattleboro is $1.45; Winhall,
$1.3O; Jamaica, $1.O5; Wardsboro, 9jc :;
w. Townshend, 9Oc; Townshend, zoe New
fame, soc; Williamsville, 4Oc; West Dunn
merston 30c. These rates seem to us to be rea-
sonable, and from various points up the road
we hear that they give general satisfaction.
They are, at least, as low, or lower, than the
local rates on the roads running north and
south from Brattleboro To Bellows Falls,
for instance, distance of "a miles, the fare
from Brattleboro is Sl.O0; to Putney, .
miles, 40c; to E. Putney, ~ miles, Coo to
So, Vernon, 10 miles, 4Oc; to Greenfield, "a
miles, 9Oc The freight rates also correspond
very closely with those charged on other
roads leading out of Brattleboro. As an ex-
ample the distance to West Townshend is %
miles, and the rate per hundred pounds of
first-class freight is II cents, which is pre-
cisely the rate charged to Bellows Falls on
the north and Greenfield on the south. 9th
er rates are in the same proportion.

The Democrats in the National House of
Representatives have given up, for the pres
ent, their attempt to force the passage of the
the Bicknell- Morgan resolution for the count
Of tho electoral vote. On Tuesday Mr.. Bick-
nell made an Intellectual attempt to force a
vote on the resolution under the operation of
the previous question, but the Republicans
refused to vote, leaving the House
without a quorum. Realizing that nothing
could be done toward disposng of the resolu-
ton, Mr. Bcknell was forced to abandon it,
before doing which, however, he gave notice
that he would again call it up in january,
when he hoped q sufficient number of Demo-
cratic members would be present to consti-
tute quorum. 1t is probable that no fur
ther effort will be made to pass the resolution,
particularly as the Republicans are determ-
ined to take advantage of every parliamenta-
ry device to defeat it, Under the provisions
of this proposed joint rule the electoral vote
Of any state could be excluded from being
counted if both the Senate and the House
should concur in excluding it, and if two or
more electoral returns were sent in the vote
of either the Senate or the House could dis
franchise the state entirely. The rule pro-
vides that where there is but one return from
a state, it shall be received unless both
branches Of Congress concur in throwing it
out, but where there is more than one re-
turn made they shall all be rejected if either
the Senate or House votes to exclude them.
The practical effect of the rule would be to
take the election of President and Vice Presi-
dent out of the hands of the states and give
it to Congress, and it has been said that the
rule ought to be entitled "a rule empowering
Congress to choose the President" The Re
publicans in Congress will not permit its pas

Holiday Advertising.

1t is hardly necessary for us to remind our
readers that the present is the season when,
more than at any other time in the year, our
advertising patrons make large demands on
our space, and that, as soon as the holidays
are over we shall be able to devote fully the
usual amount of space to reading matter.
We are not at all sure, however, that our
readers will feel themselves losers by an in
Aux of fresh and attractive advertising such
as they see this week, for it indicates buoy
ant and active state of business which cannot
be without its good effect on all classes in the

Col. Hnskinr Confirmed as 4. y. Dis
trict Attorney.

The nomination of Col Kittredge Haskins
for United States Attorney for the District of
Vermont for the ensuing four years, was con
tirmed by the Senate in executive session Oh
Tuesday Of this week This is an agreeable
elimination of the sharp but good -natured
contest which has been going on, since the
resignation of Mr.. Fifield in September, by
the supporters of Hon. VIM p. Dillingham; of
Waterbury on the one hand, and those Of
Col. Haskins on the other. Col. Haskins seems
to have got the lead in October, when his APP
pointment was recommended by Attorney
General Devens, and Judge Hunt confirmed
it temporarily, in the absence of the Presi-
dent on the Pacific slope. On the return Of
the President in November the contest was
renewed, and on the second of December
Col Haskins was commissioned by the Pres
ident to hold Office until the end of the next
session of the Senate unless his successor
should sooner be appointed. On the assem-
bling of Congress President Hayes sent in
the name of Col. Haskins for confirmation
by the Senate, the nomination taking the
usual course of reference report and subse-
quent confirmation 1t is a decided triumph
considering the influences brought to bear in
favor of Mr.. Dillingham; who is a member of
the present State Senate, and son of ex-
Gov Dillingham;. Col. Haskins has had a
long experience, for a young man, in the
courts of this State, he having been admitted
to the WinGham county bar in April, 1858,
and that of the United States District and
Circuit courts in July, 1861 He is good
lawyer, pleasant and able advocate, and
will without doubt discharge the duties of
United States Attorney with strict fidelity
and to the satisfaction of the government
