For unblushing nervousness the staid
and thoroughgoing Boston Advertiser must
for once take the cake. A letter purport-
ing to have been written from Montpelier
was published in that paper week ago,
wildly describing the corridors of the
hotels, the conflict of rival aspirants for
official preferment, and all the busy scenes
witnessed at the Green Mountain capital on
the eve of election day." 1t was enter
prising, Mr.. Advertiser, but very premature.
Republish the letter now and you will be up
with the times.

ONE of the earliest acts of the legislature
should be to make the Boston Journal the
official organ for the publication of the re-
ports of Vermont state officials. A liberal
abstract of the report of the state superin-
tendent of education appears in the Monday
evening edition of the Journal, in advance
of the assembling of the Legislature, aud not
only in advance of the publication of the
report in the state papers, but before the
latter had received the courtesy of the ad.
vance copy" which the obliging superin-
tendent furnished the Journal News Blu.

MARsHFlELD The band concert at Plainfeld
last Saturday night WAS a success, the receipts
being so. Everything passed off pleasantly and
the audience seemed to appreciate what was done,

Woodcock in town this week. Professor Nichols
phrenologist, has been delivering lectures in the
village the past week to a fair audience. %. d.
Cole sold his $500 colt to John Trow last week.
The sad event Of the past week has been the re-
turn OF the remains of Mrs. G, L. Dwinell, only
child OF L. NJ Snow, from Colorado for interment
In the Dwinell cemetery. Mr. Snow took his en-
tire family to Colorado only few weeks ago
hoping 1t might have a favorable effect on the
health Of his daughter, who had been suffering
from consumption for some time While there
occurred the death Of her baby boy and she sur
vived him only a few days She leaves a large
circle Of friends as Gertie was favorite with all
go. The concert at the Methodist church will be
next Sunday, being necessarily postponed one
week. Ziba Allen has been quite sick the past
week, but Is better at last accounts. He has a
horse that Is rather sick from the effects of poi
son administered by some unknown persons-or
at least supposed to be so. lie has had one die
under similar circumstances.

the pulpit at the Congregational church Sunday

age done to farms years ago by gas who Is hurt
or frightened? There has not been gas enough
lately to hurt anything. young man came in

were not in operation, as some changes were be-
ing made, supposed the whole concern was shut
up sued ont and done for, and that is about as
c erect as most things reported Of this place
The furnace men had half holiday Saturday
and they improved part OF IL in practicing with
the new fire engine. 1t turns out that the | EN-

is quite devoid Of truth Our regular cores
