SuCeS Will pelInlu'
WEBSTER has few pieces of al-wool dress
goods, slate color, and his advertisement
should have so stated last week, but instead
the types made him say "a few pairs,
which in that connection would be entirely
meaningless.
THERE will be a meeting of the Woman's
Home and Foreign Mission Society of the
Baptist church in the church parlor this
wednesday, evening at half-past seven
o'clock. Cake and ce-cream will be served.
All are invited.
AT a meeting of the school committee on
Monday evening Miss Louie Clark, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Dayton p. Clark, was chosen
teacher in the Union School, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss
Lucia NJ. Alvord.
STREET COMMISSIONER JOHN l.. FUTILE
was thrown from his carriage yesterday af-
ternoon, while attending to his duties, and
quite seriously bruised about the head and
hip. 1t is thought that no bones were
broken and that no lasting injury was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. AND Mrs. w. w. PRESCOTT expect to
leave town on Friday of this week and will
spend short time visiting relatives and
friends in Maine and New Hampshire.
They go to Battle Creek the last of August,
and will visit Montpelier again before their
departure for the West.
The Montpelier military band has re-
ceived an invitation to attend tournament
which is to be held at Memorial hall
grounds North Calais, in August. If the
prizes, which are not yet decided upon,
offer sufficient inducement, the band will
probably accept the invitation
THE new Methodist Episcopal church at
West Randolph will be dedicated to the
worship of Almighty God Wednesday,
August 9TH. Rev. b. X. Pierce, DID,, of
Boston, editor of Zion'S Herald, will preach
at two o'clock, and Rev. T. p. Frost of

Mr.. G.. E. PLUMB, who has been stopping
at the Pavilion the past week, received on
Wednesday last a bunch of pink water
lilies from a friend in Massachusetts. The
flowers are very rare and have attracted
considerable attention. They were grown
by Chapman Brothers of Sandwich on Cape
Cod, and it is claimed that they can be
found in no other locality in New England
WE have at hand a copy of " Students
Songs published by Moses King Harvard
Square, Cambridge. 1t is handsomely
printed and comprises sixty of the best col
lege songs of the day, and nearly all of these
are copyrighted and to be found in no other
collection. 1t is far superior to any we have
ever seen. Over forty thousand copies have
already been made, and the demand is said
to be as active as ever.
The business change in the WATCHMAN
Office makes this good time for subscribers
who are in arrears on their subscriptions for
one or more years to settle their dues as
soon as convenient, that publisher and sub
scribers may take a favorable start together.
We hope to retain all of the old subscribers
and to gain many new ones. AS to the merits
of the WATCHMAN as a newspaper and fam
lily journal, we prefer to let it speak for
itself.
AS noted last week, Mr.. b. p. White has
been appointed postmaster at East Calais,
in place of Mr.. c. r. Dwinell. We suppose
that Mr.. Dwinell is an offensive partisan
and his successor an inoffensive partisan.
1t can hardly be possible that " reform -
administration could make the recent postal
changes in Vermont for a less urgent rea-
son We are informed that this change at
East Calais was surprise to most of the
democrats there, who were not consulted at
all in the matter

REV. Mr.. WINKLEY of Boston, who sup
piled the pulpit of the Church of the Mes
siah on Sunday last, came from Lancaster

that place. He started Saturday afternoon
and spent the night in st. Johnsbury leav
