WE are afraid that Town Grand Juror Alexan-
der will be obliged to issue another proclamation.
Yet 1t appears that the more proclamations the
poorer is the quality OF the "ardent," judging
from this item which is going the rounds: "The
sea.serpent has arrived in Brattleboro j. l..
Putnam saw 1t from the Connecticut river bridge,
while cometgazing the other evening. Its head
was about the size Of small pineapple, he says,

A NUMBER OF distinguished cergymen are ex-
pected at the Unitarian grove meeting, to be held
mt Weirs Landing during the week July 31st-
| August eth, among them Rev. DR.. Bellows and
Rev Robert Collyer Of New York, Rev. DIR. Bolles
of Salem, Rev s. r. Calthrop Of Syracuse and
Rev NJ. J. Savage OF Boston. Apart from the
interest which centers in these names and the
general object of the meeting, the locality itself
supplies great attraction. Tickets to Weirs and
return will be for sale at S395-about half the
regular rate-at the Wells River depot.
ALL we have to say further in relation to the
| fictitious conspiracy Matched by the Argus, al
| leging that the WATCHMAN contemplated an at
tack on Mr.. Bracket, principal OF the Union
school, and that individuals connected with the
| WATCHMAN had told members Of the Argus staff
that such an attack would be made, is, that our
statement OF two weeks ago was strictly correct
| No such purpose was ever conceived by the
| WATcHMAN, and neither the individuals named in
| the last Argus as the sources Of its information,
nor any one else directly or indirectly connected
with the wATcHMAN, ever stated to any member
Of the Argus staff or to any one else, that the
| WATERMAN would attack Mr. Bracket. The
Argus is conspicuously silent as to the names OF
| the members of its staff to whom this alleged
and mysterious conspiracy was communicated.
RALPH T. RAY, a well-known billiard saloon
keeper Of Burlington, committed suicide in Lake
Michigan at Chicago July 18th. The particulars,
as described by the Chicago Telegram, as fol-
lows "a man walked down North avenue pier to
the lake about half-past eleven o'clock yesterday
morning, and taking off his coat deliberately
jumped into the water. lie did not again rise to
| the surface. In his coat were found letters that
showed his name to be Ralph f. Ray, Of AZ South
Ann street, and that his family lived in Burling-
ton, Vermont. The police dragged for his body
until late hour last night, but without avail"
The body was subsequently recovered. From
