his health and the latter on prospect
ing tour.
This is the glorious season of the
year when you wear an overcoat one
dav, thin coat the second, a porous
plaster the third, and a doctors bill
the fourth.
A. V. Wiswell has everything nicely
: arranged in his store for the holiday
trade. He has nice lot of Christmas
goods of all kinds, and if you intend
making any presents just call on him
and see his goods. See Advt.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
striking portrait of L. W. Pape, ex-
Mayor of Greenfield. 1t was sketched
by a Belvidere artist and undoubtedly
met the approval of the Mayor, as he
sent it to us. 1t has been given a
place in our sanctum.
Cards and posters are out announc-
ing the 2Sth annual New-year's ball at
the American House. Paul Brothers
orchestra of six pieces will furnish the
music, and Mine Host Randall will
spare no pains to make this event
equal to those of the past.
1t is said that if Vanderbilt's $780,
600 900 was in standard silver dollars
and piled up one on another they
would reach the height of $50 miles,
and yet we opine VIM. H. never had
any more fun than Lanpher does when
he goes TO Haskins' pond after bull
pout.
The entertainment given by the
Good Templars last Friday evening
was fairly attended. In addition to
the lecture from Rev. Mr.. Bartlett of
Mortified, the Lodge gave variety
of music, recitations, declarations,
charades, tableaux, &C., all of which
were we'll received.
The marriage of Henry Bailey and
Emma Putnam took place at West
ford last Wednesday,, our old friend g,
Rev. Mr.. Bushnell, tying the knot.
Henry and his bride have been the
recipients of numerous congratulations
since their return to this place, and
we join the throng and extend our
best wishes.
A very fine piece of workmanship
recently shown US was crayon picture
of Prof. Petty's old home at Burling-
ton, made by Maria Nichols of this
place. 1t ranks well with that of pro-
fessionals. Miss Nichols has never
received a lesson in crayoning, and
this specimen of her handiwork is GER
tainly worthy of attention.
We always supposed Henry Stevens,
the cracker man, was not given much
to style, but the airs he put on when
he rode into town sitting in that stylish
Franklin County cutter last week, has
led us to change our mind. 1t is said
the Metropolitan Museum of Art has
offered him a fabulous sum for the
relic, but he refuses to part with it.
1t was not very cold day Tuesday,
but Brother Chase of the Lyndon
Un,on ''got left at ST. Johnsbury
that day all the same. While trying
to cultivate acquaintance with the CAL
edonian man the mail train left him.
1t appears that Neal Dow was to lee
ture at Lyndon that night and Chase
in order to get home to hear him was
obliged to pay a hackman $500. The
railroad boys will be greatly disap-
pointed if the next Union does not
contain a full report of the lecture.
The annual report of the Assistant
Judges will be found in another col
umn. From it we learn that the cash
on hand Nov. 80, 1884, was S43.26;
receipts during the year, SG35.O4
making total S67S. 80. The dtsburse-
ments amounted to S273.65, leaving
S4O4. 65 in the treasury The expenses
| for the wear ending Nov. 80, 1885,
are estimated at 1862; adding to this
1920, balance unpaid the present year,
makes the Indebtedness 1882, leaving
to be provided for $377.35. Read the
report and see if our County does not
make pretty good financial showing.
Bailey Fuller is evidently devoting
a little of his time to railroadlng and
real estate in Dakota. From Fargo
paper we learn that ne was among
party that recently passed over the
James River Valley Railroad, just
completed, on tour of inspection,
, and that among the stations on the
: road was Montpelier, a western
: flower transplanted from the Greer
r Mountain State by Mayor Flint an(
! Bailey Fuller of jamestown, and is IL
: every respect a fourishing new town
2 How much better it would have beef
| had Bailey named this thriving plac
Eden. after his old Vermont home.
The rumor in circulation during tn
past week that E. H. Sherwin, static
agent at this place for the past tire
: =. years, was TO be succeeded by +
II Town, his predecessor, proved tru
e Tuesday. Enos steps out and +

IL Enos' removal. A station agent thu
