PORTION Of Stowe street just beyond Mrs.

kinds of rubbish and garbage. Old stove-pipe
and other unsightly articles are scattered along
the bank there. This gives a very unfavorable

the eyes of all passers by. Some less conspic-
uous place should be found for the disposition
OF cast-oH effects

as the veterans of the great rebellion, have an

A CONVENTION not down on the political
programme assembled at st. Johnsbury last
week, for the nomination of a candidate for the
presidency. AT meeting OF the students OF
the academy, Senator Edmunds was put in
nomination by F. L. Knight of this village,
Mr. Tilden by an admiring democratic student,
and President Arthur and Mr.. Blaine by their
respective champions. The result of the bal.
lot is given in the state news, foreshadowing
let us hope, the choice at Chicago.
The streets and sidewalks need the improv.
ing they failed to get last year, and to secure
which, in an efficient and orderly way, was one
of the strong arguments for obtaining a village
charter. The season is passing on. Why not
have this work done up promptly, and have
the benefit of it before the season is half over
Some of the streets are in a bad condition. and
some of the walks are lower than the cutters
and are flooded at every shower. Summer
visitors will be coming in soon, and the village
should be tdied up before they arrive.
