could not ma out VINO possessed the
hand that threw the orange, but says
he would give good deal for pivate
interview with him, and no one could
blame him. Throwing such things AT
a man walking on the street is not a
smart thing. Any ill-bred ruffian
could do it. No gentleman would do
1t.
The new steam fire engine has
been tried two or three times this
week by Mr.. John O'Connor, in
whose charge ii is. AT first there was
a failure in throwing good stream,
but the cause was discovered and re-
medied, and IL IS improving in work.
ing as Mr.. O'Connor acquires exper-
fence and confidence. 1t threw some
beautiful streams yesterday. Last Mon
day evening the reservoir in front of
Geo. G. Chapman's was filled by its
aid.
Quite a number of Mrs. OAR
win Riders friends assembled at
the Addison House, Tuesday even
ing, to witness the blossoming of a
night blooming cereus. At about half
past six it began TO open and by half
past seven was in full bloom, being a
most beautiful sight, filling the room
with fragrance. The next evening two
more of the buds opened. There are
now two more buds on the plant, max
ing six in all. The other two buds will
open in about two weeks.
The four lower departments of the
graded school have been receiving in
struction in music from members of the
upper schools, as follows: No. l, in
structed by Matte Mead; No. 2, by May
Daunis; No. by Lucia Sutton; No. 4
by May Scely. These young ladies
gave instructions regularly twice each
week gratuitously. The proficiency
pupils at the exercises last Friday
ly useful. They deserve credit for
work. The superior performance of
Miss IIigley's, pupils also attracted
notice.

"A rumor that in consequence of
uncertainty in New York the Journal
and the Brandon News had been ell
gagged by the Republicans to move into
the Empire state and devote themselves
to abusing the Republican candidates,
proves to be false. We are as yet una
bic to say positively in regard to the
statement that some of the defeated
candidates at our county convention
have hired these two papers to SANDER
them, in order to start bolt in their
favor, but it might be good bargain.
We would call the attention of candi- |
dates who want to make their election |
sure, to this remarkably cheap and easy |
method. of doing SO.
On Tuesday afternoon the Republic |
cans of the town and vicinity held
ratification meeting in the park. The
object was to ratify the nomination of
Garfield and Arthur. Ex-Gov. Stew
art was the speaker of tho day and was
introduced by S. II. Bascom. He spoke
of the part played by the Vermont dele
cation at the Chicago convention, saying
that they did all in their power to NOM
mate Senator Edmunds and that it was
not their fault that he did not receive
the nomination. He said Garfield was
man of pure and unimpeachable char
acter, and one who would command |
the votes Of the doubtful states. lie
spoke at length ON the decided stand
which the convention took in regard to
the cardinal principles of Republican,
ism and the questions which it has set
tied forever; as of district representa-
ton, individual responsibility, individ-
ual expression, and the third term. |
Mr.. Stewart spoke for three quarters of
an hour and closed with an earnest ap-
peal to the Republicans of Vermont to
step boldly to the front of tho fight and
show their cOlOrs anew. At the close
of the address three cheers were given
for Garfield and Arthur, and then for
the speaker. Short but stirring speeches
were then given by Hon. A. Il. Smith
and II. III. Mardin. The Bristol band
was in attendance and contributed
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
They did themselves much credit and
made fine appearance.
