We are beginning to feel the nippin
and eager airs of fall.

Thomas j. Perry of this village, wh'
has been in practice for some time a
Baldwinsville, Mass, has moved tt

Teller, and announced to her bosom
friend that "she wasn't on squeezing
terms with that fraud any longer y

Moses Kidder, and graduate of the
Burlington Medical College. is fitting
up q room for an office in the j. B.
Jones block on Central street, and will

We wish him success.
These are the golden autumn days
a good deal better season for the young
mans fancy to turn to thoughts Of
love than the spring time that Tenny-
son sings about.
Circuses are over! You can now
attend to digging potatoes, cutting
corn, gathering garden truck, mending
the roof and fences, and putting in the
pane of glass that your wife talked so
much about.
f. Chester Southgate, barrister at
law, moves this week from the Nahum
Haskell house, on River street, to his
palatial mansion on the Boulevard,
fronting Central Park and the Golden
Eagle, Woodstock, Vt. (What is the
use of using broken down Anglo-Saxon
words in writing Ian item of news,
when you can roll out such high
sounding, broad-shouldered, double
breasted words as these.)
Murty Pecor and Royal Dutton had
a kicking match the other day, and
Murty got in one kick too many,
which doubled up Royal like u boy
with the collie, and he was taken into
Father buttons for repairs. During
the melee "Royal" had his pantaloons
ripped from the ANGLE to the waistband,
and he looked like one of Falstaf's re-
cruits when he entered the paternal
mansion. Both parties had their "sec-
onds" on the ground, and armed
one with a broom and the other with a
garden rake. The cause of this at
fair grew out of some money transac-
ton. Dutton had the pole on the first
round, but Murty had the heaviest bat
talions (brogues), aimed for the CEN
ter, and won.
A South street man took little
"alki" on Wednesday night, last week,
and he proceeded to demolish the
household gods, which he did in fine
style. His wife had to fee for her
life. Things looked "blue' to him
the next day.
The Soldiers Reunion at Hartford
yesterday was grand success-the
best ever held. Many noted men OF
the State were presant, among them
his excellency, Governor Barstow.
The attendance from here was quite
large.
Hon. Charles P. Marsh did good
thing the other day. He gave the
Vermont University at Burlington
one thousand dollars for the endow-
ment of a scholarship to be called the
edwin Wright Marsh Scholarship, "
in memory of his son, member OF the
class of 1872, who was drowned in
Lake Champlain during his Freshman
year. Mr.. Marsh himself is of the
class of 1889. Woodstock is doing
q good deal for this time-honored in
stitution of learning. This, with Hon.
Frederick Billings princely gifts OF
a library and library building, is big
donation for one town. The Library
is one of the most valuable in the State,
and the Library building will be one
of the most costly and magnificent OF
ANYTHING of the kind in this country.
There will be a grand excursion to
Newport, VT, Saturday, Sept. 18th.
This will stake in" the operate en-
tertainment "Jolanthe," or the Peer
and the Peri, the greatest comic opera
of the day, by first class artists from
the Boston Theatres, with the Kempa
Ladies Orchestra, from London, Eng
land. The tickets include, the trip to
Newport and return, boat ride on the
Lake and one admission to the Opera.
