WEIGH Of the village of Wlnooski was
found to possess three barrels of beer,
which the officers siezed. At the hear
ing it appeared that there was beer
pump in her establishment, one of the
barrels of beer being on draught at the
time OF the seizure; and in addition, all
the paraphernalia connected with bars
generally including Il pitcher in which
was quantity of beer. No evidence
was offered by the claimant, but the
statement was made that, being poor
woman, she was liable to be thrown up
on the town for support if deprived Of
her three barrels of beer, and that she
had II for her private use, and the Justice
finally decided that the liquid should be
returned to her. The thing makes lots
of talk.

The Merchants of Middlebury.

Years ago it seems to have been the
greatest ambition of many persons in this
place to become merchants. and it was
no unusual thing to see five or six new
signs hung up in a single year, and as
many others come down during the same
time. From one to three years was about
the average time to enjoy this distin-
guished honor, when many were ready to
step down and out. The mercantile IT, de
OF this village presents a singular histo-
ry. While some names appear continu-
ously from early In the century, others
are seen for short time and meyer heard
from again. Jabez Rogers, Jr., COM
menced trading In 1890, and is said to
have been the first merchant in the cOun-
ty. Jno. Hagar traded from 1912 to 1852,
and Anon Wilcox from 1915 to 1874 the
longest period of any one person. w. &
A. Chapman commenced in 1913 and some
of the family have traded nearly all the
time since. Z. Beckwith and his worthy
son have advertised continuously since
1927, and r. & j. Wainwright. with some
interruption, from 1916. Those now
trading and have been over twenty
five years are Ii. w. Brewster from 1859,
f. r. Clay from 1857. j. L. Negus from
Nov. 4. 1851; and Simeon Holton from
Aug. 6, 1850, and is the senior.

When Bismarck had been appointed to The
legation at Frankfort "a post which he owed
10 tho delight with which Frederick william
" had read his blur speeches In the
Pfuaian lower honsal be was present at a
public ball, whers a member OF the French
corps legislatif, NJ. Jouvois dc Clancy, was
pointed out 10 him rs a noted fire eater.
This gentleman had bssn a Rspublican, but
He was a big man with dnndihed airs, but
evidently not much accustomed 10 society,
for he had brought his hat-not a compress
sible one Into the ballroom, and in waitz-
ing ho held II in his left hand. The sight OF
the big Frenchman carecring round tho
room with this hat extended at arms length
was too much for Bismarck's sense OF fun;
SO. as NJ. Jouvoi rsvoived past him, no
dropped a copper coin into the hat.
Ons may imagine TIM scene. The French-
man, turning purple, stopped short in his
dancing. led back his partner to her place,
and then came with flashing eyes to demand
satisfaction. There would have been assault
and battery on the spot II friends had not
interposed; but on the following day the
Frenchman and the Prussian mat with PTS
tolls and the former was wounded. Unfor-
tunately for bismarck, NJ Jouvois knew
Louis Schneider, the ex-comodian, who had
become court councillor to Frederick Will
lam ~, and was that eccsntric monarch's
fayorite companion. Schnsider had but a
moderate fondness for Bismarck, and he
represented his act OF gamineric In so UNI
favorable a light to the king that his maj
esty instructed the foreign ofics to read the
newly appointed d~lplomatist q severe lesson.

THERE is little or no difference between
the conclusions of Bob ~Ingersoll and Rev.
Heber Newton on theological topics, al
though their u~tterances are somewhat at
variance. IngersoIl is more pointed and
gross in his expressions, making every
thing he cannot reconcile TO common
sense and reason appear as ridiculous as
possible; while the Rev. Newton simply
dissents from dogmAs which the church
for many years has made theological law.
But very few educated and intelligent
clergymen these days believe in the doc
trine Of a material hell and many other
church superstitions' but they avoid dis
cussing such subjects 50 as to sail along
smoothly with their congregations. It is
about time that the Westminster cate
ehism was undergoing revision.

Miss Cleveland wore lat the reception
to Governor Cleveland a pale blue satin

edged with bands Of creamy ostrich tips.
The lace which trimmed the neck and
sleeves, was run with gold threads. The

ON which were outlined with gold threads.
Long t~an-colored ~mousquetaire gloves met
the lace-edged elbow sleeves. She wore
a band Of velvet around her throat fas-
tened with an antique brooch and carried
a bunch of long stemmed Catherine Mer-
met roses. Miss Cleveland's hair is
short, slightly tinged with gray and is
curly. She is highly intellectual looking
and does not forget a namc or the face
that goes with il; those formerly presen-
ted to her early in tho evening, who re-
turned when there was less ola crowd in
the reception-room to have a few mo-
lnents' chat with her, were astonished to
hear themselves addressed by name.
This gin in the future chief lady of the
white house is Of priceless value. Her
face is mi that would attract attention
anywhere by its thouRhtfnlness and ex-
pressiyeness. She is Of medium height
and bears herself with rare self possession
