A NOTABLE AFFAIR.

A NOTABLE AFFAIR.
Ia the course of business last Tues
day morning, Judge Poland stepped
ont of the First national bank with
some papers i'll his coat pocket.
There was a hole i'll the pocket, too,
and it was shortly after discovered
that there had slipped ont of it IA note
for $500 signed by one man and en-
dorsed by four others. Notices We're
posted and "A search for the lost paper
instituted. Two or three hours later "a
piece from the middle of the note, suf-
ficiently large to identify it, was
picked up in front of AtwOOd's store
on Main street, but the rest of the doc
ument was not found. Some boy not
old enough to realize the value of a
promissory note probably picked it up,
tore it mp and threw it away.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

BUSINESS CHANGES.
Il. p. Kidder has sold his grocery
business at the foot of Eastern avenue
to f. E. Clark and n. z. Dodge. The
style of tile new firm will be Clark s.
Dodge. An invoice of the goods in
the store was taken Monday, the new
firm took possession Tuesday and is
now ready for business. Mr.. Clark
has been employed for some years past
in BOnett's and Scott Il Sons store on
the. avenue and is thoroughly informed
as TO the wants of the st. Johnsbury
people. Mr.. Dodge is not stranger
to the business, having been engaged
i'll the grocery trade at intervals for
the past 25 years. Their purpose is to
do a square business and to sell at
bottom prices. Both are well known
here and have the confidence of the
people. Repairs will be made in the
store and it will be generally brighten
ed up and every effort made to please
its patrons.
THE ARABS COME AND GO.
The party of Arabs that invaded
st. JOhnsbury last week camped mile
or so north of the village Thursday
night. They had hardly settled down
before Sheriff Sulloway appeared and
f,,l q, l,nf
mitted them to stop over night in the
camp. Friday morning, however, the
sheriff was on hand and conducted
them through the village and on to
Danville. There were 20 Arabs with
four performing bears and two or three
horses, all as dirty as represented.
key and said they were going to Cali
fOrnia or to some warm climate. They
knew very little English but seemed
to understand Sheriff SullOway when
he told them that if anything was
stolen within radius of 10 miles of
the village he wonld jug the whole
company. Anyhow they hurried by
not even stopping to exhibit. A SINH
lar band is going down the country OH
the other side of the mountains and
there will probably be a reunion of
both at Burlington. 1t looks as though
the whole lot would eventually land in
New York and have to be cared for by
that state.

THAT RoYALroN BURGLAR.

A remarkable burglar story is told
in the "YermOnt News" on the last
page of this paper, the hero in which
is Henry t. Clifford of RoyaltOn, who
effected the burglars capture. Mr..
Clifford is a cousin of H. Cowdery of
this place, and has sent to Mr.. Cow
derry photograph of the burglar,
which pictures him as Il decidedly viii
lannon's looking fellow. He weighs
LA pounds and is feet l09 inches in
hight, and after Mr.. Clifford, who weighs
$50 pounds, jumped upon him from be-
hind, actual measurement showed that
the burglar carried him Is rods before
he stumbled and fell. 1t was a curious
affair, and somewhat amusing in spite
of its serious nature.

The threatened advance in tele-

length been made and on Oct. LIST the
rates will be advanced to $50 for res
licences and $40 for offices. Manager

against the advance but has been un-
able to avert it. The present rates are
S28 and $40, which are high enough
for the service rendered. Rates have
been advanced in nearly all the ex-

by Mrs. Flora K. Barry. Miss Hunt
has fine soprano voice and consider
able dramatic ability and won the good
will of the audience at once. In her
rendering of "The last rose of sum
mer" she was encored and repeated a
part of the piece. Mrs. Barry has
good contraltO voice and well sustain
ed her part, while all the other mem
bers of the cast furnished an excellent
support.

This bright and pleasing opera was
very successfully given by the COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen chiefly
home talent-who rendered it at Music
hall last Thursday and Friday even
ings. All the participants are deserV-
ing of high praise. The stage was eff
| fectiyely arranged, and the costumes

into it with an earnestness that is very
gratifying to the managers of the asso-
