Landlord Stockwe,i's sleighinsi Party.
On Tuesday, of last week, party
from Wardsboro had ordered supper
at the Jamaica house, but they did
not put in an appearance; but it was
understood they would on the next
Thursday. Thursday came, and no
sleighing party-they again failed to
connect. By this time nearly every
one in the village had an inkling of
how the case stood, and the word being
passed around, goodly company
quietly assembled at the hotel, headed
by Rev. 0. q. Baker, filed into Mr..
Stockwelrs dining room and disposed
of the bountiful supper mine host had
prepared for the recreant sleigh riders,
who, so far as we know, have not
been heard from. 1t was a neighbor-
ly and chivalrous thing on the part of
our people, and doubtless saved the
Jamaica house from a considerable
loss.

position.
Attempted Blackman.
A few days since one of our we'll
known citizens received letter from
a certain pettifogger, breathing dire
threats against his reputation if hi
did not at once pay over a large sum
of money, and accusing him of cheat
ing, and threatening to sue him "a!
near up to Stratton as he could" evi.
IDENTIFY with the idea, that said either
could not have fair trial up there
The letter was permeated with malice
and revenge. We happen to know
that there is no truth in its accuse
ations. The writer evidently did no
try to find out whether his charge
were true or not, as he could easil,
have done. The letter will be given +
the public in due time.
