troupe Of Arabs was arrested at Rutland Thursday,
and brought before Justice Forbes at Brandon
Friday morning charged with sodomy, alleged to
have been committed at the Brandon House We'd
nesday night on a boy named Watson. As the
result Of the examination the respondent was re.
quirod to furnish bail In the sum OF $500 to ap-
pear before the county court at It's next term.

THE telephone exchange in Montpelier village
Is to be made useful for more than private pur.
poses. The night policemen now have access ia
the central office during the night, so that in case
Of FIRE or OF any unusual disturbance upon the
street. the different parts Of the village be no
titled at once; also frequent communication can bt
had between the police and the night watchmen Al
| the manufacturing establishments. At, and i'm
mediately following, each striking Of the towr
clock during the night, those having telephones
in their houses can communicate with one of the
policemen, who will at that time be at the cen
trail office, and be notified Of any disturbance
or answer any calls which the patrons OF the ex
| change may wish to make.

ments by leading democrats to publish a paper
In fact, it is almost certainty that he will do SO
and that the first number will be issued July first
1t is open secret that there is not entire salts
faction among the leaders of that party with tn
editorial conduct Of the only democratic paper II
the state worthy to be called a leading one We
and we believe the entire republican press of tn
state, will gladly welcome another Democrat
paper II it will prove, what has often been doubted
that democracy is not synonymous with every
thing that is retrogressive and nasty. We believ
Mr.. Kendall, II he can have his own way, wi
publish just such paper. We regret that h
has seen fit to leave our town, for, while woriin
diligently for the interest of the paper with whic
he was connected, he has ever been courteous an
fair towards his brethren of the press. We wis
him abundant success, and believe he will achiev
1t II the democrats Of that section of the state
in earnest and really desire an organ whose chic
characteristic is not personal diatribes and fiji
pant paragraphs.
