Nuisance Act

The Christian Weekly says that the action
of the Vermont legislature year ago in
pronouncing every place where intoxicating
liquor is sold or given away or where
gambling is allowed, ga nuisance" is pro-
ducing quite ferment in the Green Noun
tain state "The trouble is that those who
secured its passage do not intend to have it
q dead letter, and act as if they really be-
leved that nuisance is something TO be
abated. In all but the larger towns the
sale of alcoholic stimulants is restricted TO a
town agent who can only sell on physi-
clans prescription. The movement now has
extended to the larger towns, especially TO
their hotels. One good result has been that
temperance houses have been successfully
established in several of the larger places
At st. Adams, the butter market OF New
Eugland, in consequence of the determine
ton of the temperance committee, all the
hotels closed their doors last week, and the
town is without accommodation for travel
ers, A good deal of indignation is ex
pressed at the interference with business
but the cool-headed reformers believe the
state will be more prosperous by stopping
the drain Of the liquor bars"

II happened on a summers day,
When little Ann went out TO play,
She thought she'd make a garland fair
And bind II in her curly hair:
But when she crossed the lawn she found
No daisies left upon the ground;
And other flowers she liked az much,
Mamma had told her not to touch.
At last she reached the garden gate,
And there, too restless long TO wait
She raised the latch, and, stealing through,
Picked all the flowers within her view.
When this was done, not far beyond
She saw some bluebells by pond.
"oh, dear " thought Ann, Mamma ia out.
And no one knows what I'm about.
III get the flowers; bnt no-I'll stay,
And come again another day"
go saying. Ann returned unseen;
No one imagined where she'd been.
She laughed and played az well as ever,
And thought herself extremely clever.
The morrow came, and Ann again
Went out to play. A heavy rain
Within the night had left the land
Too damp for Ann to sit or stand,
But well wrapped up, secure and warm,
A little run could do no harm.
Now Ann was thinking all the while
About the flowers across the stile;
And when she fanced no one knew,
Undid the gate and scampered through.
The stile was climbed, and Just below
She saw the pond where bluebells grow;
Where sweetest vioets love to hide,
Forget-me-nots. and rushes wide.
oh, dearl" thought Ann with secret glee.
"what a fine garland II will bel"
She flled her cap, but not content,
Still DER the reeds she foudly bent,
To grasp one flower more rich, more gay,
And as she pluoked her foot gave way.
She scrambled up TO reach the bank,
But as she strove still deeper sank;
Her flowers were scattered In the mlre,
And soon she felt her patience tire.
"Oh, how wish were at home
Twas wrong, twas silly, thus to roam;
My frock is torn, my stockings too.
And here am-what shall do2"
She looked again,-at last she spied
An aged stump, before untr!ed,
And, clinglng fast with eager hand,
She gained at length the level land,
And hurried back, and did not fail
To tell at once the dismal tale;
And though she knew 1t would surprise,
Confessed her faults without Disguise;
Her mothers hand In tears she pressed
And now she owns. Mamma knows beat

LOVES MISSION.
Chlde mildly the erring,
Kind language endears
Grief follows the sinful,
Add not to their tears.
Avoid with reproaches
Fresh pain TO bestow;
The heart which Ia stricken
Needs never blow.
Glide mildly the errins,
Entreat them with care;
Their natures are mortal,
They need not despair.
They all have some frailty,
They all are unwlse,
The grace which redeems them
Must come from the skies. Selected.

The weather for the past week has
been exceedingly cold. Last Thurs
day morning the thermometer showed
80 below zorro. The air felt as though
it IN light have been IS below -. James
Buckley and brother who arrived here
last spring from Morlboy, Mass. and
settle upon piece of land here, be-
came discouraged and thought he
could accumulate more wealth by
working in the factories in the east,
had an auction sale, sold all his prop
erty and put the money into broken
pocket. When he came to the ticket
office to buy his ticket, he found he
had lost hi. purse and was pennniless.
Later i'm the evening there came
message for the dsctor to attend to
little three yea r-old girl of MIR. Leenay,
who was very ill. Then came a
bloody tragedy that drew dark cast
over the brilliant record of our town.
Yesterday Mr.. john Caliighan and
son came to town with load of wheat
and after disposing, of it, went into
Canty's saloon and stayed there until
about eleven in the evening, in COM
pany with T. Splan, bar tender for
CAVITY, Dan. Casey, Thos. Killigan and
John Morris, young man with John
Callighan. John Noonan, marshal,
came in and tried to arrest Callighan
and Morris for being disorderly, when
they resisted arrest; Calligtan and
son then sta rted for home in their
wagon, and had gone about ten rods,
when tire were shots heard. The boy,
II years OLD, received one shot through
the spine AMI one through the leg;
the father received one bullet through
| the eye and two others in the body.
Mr.. Callighan was found dead in his
wagon, and the boy is now under the
care of the doctor in town. There are
many rumors about town, but there is
no certainty as to the rightful muir.
derer. All are waiting the coroner's
inquest. There have been numerous
arrests up to this time.

clothes, evidently picked up between
a cod fish box and a molasses barrel !,
in some grocery store; the pants being
turned up about foot at the bottom
and the coat some three sizes too large,
and inquired of us if we kept tobacco.
For the past two years, we have en-
deavored to impress upon the minds
of the people of Morris and vicinity,
that our business is exclusively Cloth
ing, and would again call your atteh-
ton to the fact that we don't keep to-
bacco, OK bows, mackerel, or even
balogna sausages, and it is useless for
you to call on us for anything of the
sort. Our business is Clothing, first,
last, and all the time. Our store is
simply filled from one end TO the other
with clothing. We devote our entire
attention to that one line of goods.
We have Children's Suits, Boys Suits,
Young Mems Suits, Old Mems Suits,
in fact we have everything pertaining
to the Clothing Line. So come along,
give us call. We can suit you, no
matter what shape you are. If you
are as lank as a bean-pole. or as broad
across the back as hay stack, as tall
as a telegraph pole, or only knee high
to grass-hopper, we can suit you and
fit you both. We have complete line
of Overcoats, Ulsteretts, and a full line
of Buffalo Coats, which we are now
closing out at cost.

services of w. G. Bicknell as teacher in
the grammar department, in'place of
Miss Burgitt. Mr.. Bicknell has form
erly been foreman OH the Wellington
& Fisher farm, and is well and favor
ably known in this community. In
this connection we can state that the
school opened on last Monday, under
very favorable circumstances, with a
good corps of teachers and. a full at
tendance of scholars for the first day.
Parents, visit the school often and SO
encourage the teachers and children.
We are informed that under the
charter of the st. P, M. 4 M. r. r.,
but one street is laid out across the
railroad right of way and track. II
this be so, the council should ascer-
tain what proceedings are necessary
in order that we can have all
the other streets supposed to cross
the railroad, properly opened, or if the
other streets are laid across the rail-
road. but the company under it's char
ter can without let or hinderance, y
indefinitely block them with trains at
their leisure, then that should be REM
edied. The people claim, very prop
erly, the unobstructed use of the
streets, and their will in this matter
should be law. With over one and a
half miles OF siding. q few feet of the
crossing of all travelled streets can
easily be left unobstructed.
