on under the name of the Otter Greek
Ice Company. A. u. Colby will have

Mccormick.
We have received from the White
River Paper Co., of White River juno
ton, Vt, copy of Walton's Vermont
Register for 1882. 1t is the sixty-fifth
number, but it is as valuable as ever in
spite of its advanced age, and should
be in the hands of every Vermonter.

MIDDLEBUBY CoLLEGE.-The day hav-
ing proved unpleasant for the opening of
the new scientific rooms in college and
many friends having thereby been pre-
vented from taking advantage of the
invitation to the public, it is hereby re-
peated: On Saturday next from nine
O'Clock till twelve the rooms will be
opened and warmed and all friends are
cordially invited to visit them.
BY order of the President.
The condition of the streets for the
past few days has been the worst for
years. On either end of the bridge
there was covering of soft mud
which rendered crossing impossible for
those who cared for the looks of their
boots, The rcdeemiDg feature was
that the mud coating was thin, but il is
evident that our former gravel does
not last forever when applied to the
streets. Moral: keep putting it on.
The next temperance meeting Will
be held at the vestry of the Congrega-
tional church next Tuesday evening,
when it is to be hoped that somebody
may be on hand with something prac-
teal TO propose in the direction of en-.
forcing the prohibitory law in this
place, and that sufficient number of
citizens will show readiness to work
together heartily for that object. If
this is not the result of the meetings,
many earnest temperance men will
care to have very little to do with
them. Temperance chin-wagging has
been tried many times and in many
places, and has never done q copper's
worth of good.
