open and her old stock of goods sold |
at very low rates.
We doubt whether the Oldest IN
habitant remembers when one week |
made such an advancement from |
winter to spring as the last one made.
1t is safe to say that the snow settled |
three feet, and some of the roads,
impossible with sleighs, are ''settled''
for wheeling. The rivers have been
high, but no unusual freshet is upon
us vet, This weather continuing an
other week, we shall have an early |
spring after all.
We expect to send for quite an
amount of garden seeds, flower seeds,
plants, etc. soon, and if our neigh
bors OF subscribers wish to send with |
us their goods can be obtained at a
discount. We send to a leading
scotsman and florist and can get al
most anything advertised in any of
the catalogues. We expect to receive
the goods about May 9Th. Enquire
at MONITOR office or by postal card.
We shall have lot of good tomato
plants.
There was an alarm of fire in the
village Tuesday afternoon, occasioned
by the burning of some evergreen
trees by J. w. Howard, west of the
village. A huge smoke sprang up
all at once, and it appeared that his
buildings were well on fire. The
bells were rung and there was hum
dred men on the way, when the cause
of the fire was ascertained. Neigh
Dor Howard, who has just moved into
town and on to the borders of the
incorporated city, did not realize
that the burning of few bushes
was liable to cause some commotion
in his community. 1t was a perfect
"April fool'' though not on all-fools
! day.
Daniel Brown, one of the three
persons who broke from the Jail at
Irasburgh last November, was arrest
ed on the morning of March %, be-
ing surprised while in bed at John
Peters in Potion. He passed through
Georgeville the 9th, officers at
Mansonville were informed by tele-
graph, and they at once took the old
gentleman. His son offered some
resistance but was quieted when the
officers told him to desist or they
would carry him back to Sweets
burgh. This son was one of the
three arrested but had lately been
discharged as it is said the Vermont
officers failed to appear against him.
Daniel was taken to Sweetsburgh to
await the action of the Vermont au-
thorities. 1t is said he passed the
winter in the lumber woods at Cliff
ton.-E9press.
Daniel is pretty well known around
here. Since s'the Browns" left this
vicinity we hear of no hen-roost OF
other cheap stealing, and conclude
that they had considerable to do
with it.
