The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1881-03-25

| AT the meeting of the listers of the
county, at the Town hall, last Monday
there was nothing definite transacted
the questions raised showing hopeless
ly devided state of opinion among those
present.
| We call attention 10 the concert Of
the Euterpe club, at Academy Hal
Tuesday the 20. The members of the
club are we'll known here, and repre-.
sent the best local musical talent. The
miscellaneous programme will contain
some choice selections, including some
performances of the orchestral club re-

There was II fair attendance ut the
town meeting last Tuesday. l.. ID.
Eldredge was elected moderator. The
various articles of the warning were
taken up in order and promptly disposed
of by laying on the table, except the one
in regard 10 repairing the road from the
Perkins place to Baker hill. Over this
there was considerable rather informal
discussion, but the meeting was open
to an argument that while an immense
amount of traffic went over the road,
in its present condition no larger loads
could be drawn than before any part of
| it was repaired. 1t was finally voted
that this piece of road be repaired at an
expense not exceeding $500, and the
expense to be apportioned over three
years. When the article relating to
collecting back the seventy-five dollars
damages paid A. II. Foot for damages
done his horse in 1879, motion to adj
journ was made, which was carried.
The meeting was conducted in the best
of temper, everybody being good natur-
ed, but indisposed to sell the town
farm.
Our contemporary, the Journal,
which has been rather 'under the
weather" for a few weeks, is to be
started again, we learn. Justus Cobb
is to take hold with Mr.. Fuller, and we
understand they expect to do a gor-
geous business. The talk is that in
about six months all the subscribers of
the Register are TO be attracted away,
leaving us without the means of exis-
tence, whereupon they will kindly re-
lieve us of our difficulty by giving us
five dollars for our concern; the two
papers are TO be consolidated" and
the Journal-Register will henceforth
win glory and stamps as the ablest pa
per of the age. 1t is good program,
the same, we believe, as was proposed
when the Journal was first projected.
Where the "sinews" come from for
relieving the Journal of its little cmbar-
easements we have been too timid to
inquire, but we are satisfied that some
minors circulating TO the effect that
parties who want an "organ" TO elbow"
for them have put it OH its feet, are in.
correct, il being doubtful if there is a
man in the county so weak as not to
know that an organ to advance private
interest could mot succeed in an intelli-
gentcommunity like this. The paper is
TO be run with a patent outside, as when
it was first started. Having the best OF
feelings for the able gentlemen who
are to run the Journal, and with an
sense of their heroism in
Drawing the teachings of experience, we
would yet remark that the Register,
which is published right along at 81 so
per annum in advance, is the best paper
in this section for any man who wants
a reliable, independents, Republican
paper in his family.
