We believe it to be fact not admitting Of
dispute that no town in this section OF New
England Of the size Of Brattleboro combines
so many OF the advantages Of trade centre
aud offers 80 many inducements to retail buy
ers rs does this In recent years marked
tendency of our dealers bias been constantly
toward larger stocks Of goods and goods Of
the best quality which the market affords.
As whole the tendency has been decidedly
in this direction rather than toward an in
creased number of stores-s fact which is
much in the buyers favor. 10 dry goods
in clothing both custom aud ready made, in
groceries, in boots and shoes, in hats and
caps, in crockery and glass ware, in furni-
ture, in drugs and medicines, in books, sta
tonery aud fancy goods in watches, jewelry
and silver ware-in every line Of standard
goods. in short Braitleboro offers to its sur
rounding country stores where buyers Of
every class may make their selections from
stocks so large and varied as to ensure the
meeting Of every reasonable want.
In point of convenience and attraotiveness
as a place for retail buyers, Brsttleboro GER
tsiuly surpasses any town within our knowl-
edge. It's business is oompsotly located with
out being unduly crowded, and shoppers can
make the rounds with half the outlay of time
and strength required in the average trade
centre. Especially is this true since the
Hooker and Ryther buildings have been COM
pleted and their handsome and commodious
stores occupied The reputation of the town
as a trade centre has to great extent kept
nearly even pace with its increase of induce
ments to buyers-ths trade Of the place I'M
auestionably calling in customers from much
wider circle Of territory than it did ten years
ago That this Is so is due to two things-
first the increase of stocks as already men.
toned and, second, to the fact that, espec.
tally in recent years, Brattleboro merchants
have been liberal and judicious advertisers.
They have freely let the public know what
1 they had TO sell and have faithfully fulfilled
the representations and promises made
We refer to this subject to day because Al
this season our advertising columns afford q
particularly full reflex of Brattleboro trade
/ interests. Much of our advertising space il
taken up with holiday announcements, and
! it is true beyond question that so large RnC
/ handsome stocks of Christmas goods hav,
never before been offered in Brattleboro. To
see the fine displays made is worth a journey
to the town. But the trade is not by any
means given up to holiday specialties. Th,
stocks OF solid staple goods are here in create
amount and variety than ever, and the move
ment in them is lively aud healthy one. 1
is literally true that Brattleboro to-day offer
to buyers every advantage of city trad
centre. The stores are as large and hand
some, the stocks of goods are as fine and a
varied, aud the competition is as close, en-
surfing as low prices as can be found in an.
market We ask our readers TO take on
Brattleboro merchants at their word and Sc
if what they snd we say is not strictly born

The danger OF a water famine during the

gion was put an end to by the pouring rain
which fell during the whole of last Saturday

prepared by previous snowfalls aud lesser
rains to receive the large amount Of water
which fell-generslly estimated to have been

the wells, springs and swamps were filed by
this rain and that all danger of Il short supply
of water during the winter is done away with.

In the Indian Ocean last summer the yacht
AiRnonette was lost in storm, and the sur
vivors-the captain, mate, man and boy
escaped in an open boat While floating
about without food or water, they decided to
kill the boy to save the lives of the rest. With
penknife the captain deliberately cut the
victims throat, and the three men lived on
his flesh until rescued. On landing III Eng
land the captain told straight story of the
facts, and he and the mate were arrested and
tried for murder. The jury, instructed by
the lower court that the case was without
precedent and should go to the highest tribu-
nal on the question Of law, rendered a special
verdict, reporting the facts. The court of
appeals decided unanimously that the case
Was one of murder, and on Tuesday the chief
Justice sentenced the men to death There was
no recommendation to mercy, and the only
hope for the prisoners is in the clemency Of
the crown The case is unique in the annals
of iurispruienoe, and its decision authorita-
lively settles the fact that the taking of hu-
man life under any circumstances, except
strictly in self-defenoe, is murder, and must
be punished as such
