and camping parties from this town. is
that formed last week of several of the
younger married people of Waterbury
and Stowe, including Mr., and Mrs. Car
roll Mum of this place,-pikeing and
pouting among the wilds of Craftsbury.
The lecture of Mrs. F. o. Hyzer, i" Fe-
male Suffrage" as announced for Friday
evening last, was rich in thought and
sound reasoning and with the pleasing
and often eloquent address of the speaker
became one deeply interesting and in
structive to her audience. The audience
was fair, yet limited in comparison to the
richness of the treat to which all were in
vited. She also spoke at Unity church
on Sunday afternoon.
No memorial service was held in town
upon the occasion of Grants decease, and
the only emblem of mourning observa-
BILE were two flags very becomingly
draped and suspended over the entrance
to the post-office. 1t would have been in
keeping with the honor for the great pub
lie services of the late eX-President that
at least the Republicans of Stowe through
their town committee should have made
some arrangements to have the occasion
observed, and all parties could have
properly Joined therein.

and Abbie j. Sulham. Those having no
tardy marks were Fred E. Luce and
Monroe E. Dodge. A present of silver
napkin-ring was made the teacher, for
which and the kindness shown her during
the term by parents and pupils, she re-
turns thanks.
The dissertation of graves in our new
cemetery, if the plucking of flowers and
the obstruction of plants may be so called,
has, we are told, been carried on to an
alarming extent i'll times recently past,
and we are requested to mention the fact,
hoping that all may see the improperly
in disturbing the sacredness of this final
rest. One person whose feelings have
become outraged in this respect offers a
large reward for information leading to
the detection of the person or persons
who have thus ruthlessly destroyed at
different times choice plants which were
growing upon his little daughters grave.
The little ''brush" that occurred at the
Forks last week between the brother and
brother-in-law, was the outgrowth of a
little hasty temper. Neither of them are
bad young men. and they have no repu-
tation for being qFaf4elsome. They were
hasty and should have been ashamed of
their haste and then and there bridled
their tongues and made peace with them
plant was however made, the principal
in the affair arrested, with resulting fine
and costs, the ends of the law satisfied,
and if the kindly feelings of the young
men towards each other are improved or
the public substantially benefited there
by, all ought to be thankful therefor.
On Saturday our streets bore in a large measure
the appearance of old time liveliness. Arrange
ments had previously been made by the faculty
and about 10 members of the Sauveur School of
Languages at Burlington to visit Mount Mans
field, and Saturday was selected as the day. II.
b. Faunce, our experienced and successful stage
proprietor and driver, with his usual prompt
ness met the party at Waterbury on the arrival of
the morning train, with suitable and sufficient
and by relay of horses at Stowe,
was to see them to the summit of the mountain, a
distance of 20 miles, in season to be at dinner.
The day was hot and dusty, the drive desperate
acd almost RECKLESS, but men and animals were
equal to the occasion,-thOugh suffering from the
terrible drive and tOrrid atmosphere the foaming
steeds bore them safely to the crest" among the
clouds. The landscape, IN all directions, as il lay
spread out before them, was beautifully grand.
Mountain and valley decked with their yerdant
foliage, dotted here and there with beautiful
farms, nesting villages and the glistenng waters
of our mountain streams, the White Mountains to
the east, the silvery waters of Champlain to the
west, with the towering Adirondacks in the back
ground, formed beautiful panorama before them,
but with their brief time to stay was but kali
Changeable, and ever changing to their
vision. Necessarily returning the evening
train to Burlington, their departure from the
summit was fastened, and in their descent one
lady while insisting on walking short distance,
was accidently thrown under the wheel of one OF
the heavy carriages, which passed over her
ankle, injuring it severely, though unknown to
what extent.
