ing of each week at o'clock, until
April lst, 1882. This affords opportu-
nifty for an evenings rest from business,
and ought to be no serious inconvenience
TO the public, if it is remembered that
the stores and offices are closed on the
evenings mentioned.
B. Mossman is doing a necessary and
quite extensive job of repairs at the
chair factory. He has torn out the old
dam and hume and will put in new
dam, fume and wheels, and expects to
be able to save all the water. The ma
chinery will be put in good working
order. In the meantime the water is
shut off days, considerably to the incon-
venience of the mills and shops below
the factory. George Buzzell bosses the
job.
VIM. Barrows, in the E. F. Dutton
auction on the 10Th ult, made 226 sales,
amounting to $4,000, in four hours.
Cows averaged S31 each, sheep 81. hay
$1,000 per ton, oats 50 cents bushel,
barleys8O cents. AS will be seen by
the above, sales we're quick and prices
good. Mr.. Dutton sold all his furni-
ture, etc., except two of his best carpets
and a center table, lounge and few
chairs, which he offers at bargain.
Thieves broke into and rummaged the
house of VIM. Kimball, one night last
week, going thoroughly through all parts
of the house, but finding no money, as
Mr. K. had his money in his wallet. It
is probable that they took some small
articles. They carried away mort
gage which is of value to Mr.. Kimball,
but of none to them. If they will put
the mortgage where it can be found, it
may be the means of saving them con-
siderable further trouble.
The MONITOR acknowledges very
fne-bound and well-printed copy of the
'Vermont Poets" from Claremont Sta
toner Co., Claremont, N. H. To the
previous editions of this work has been
added the poems of the late Charles G..
Eastman-a very valuable addition.
This work, while it contains some poems
of little merit or value, contains, also,
many that are superior. Vermonters
appreciate them, and every one not sup
piled with this volume needs it in his
library.
