THE RAYMOND 81 wHITCoMB EXCUR-
SIONS TO MEXICO.
The grand tours through Mexico are
announced by Messrs. Raymond &
Whitcomb, the well-knOwn excursion
managers. The dates of departure
from Boston are Thursday, February
IL, and Thursday, March ii, the time
selected being the healthiest and pleas
ATTEST of the whole year for visit to
Mexico. Each tour will occupy forty
four days, and special train with
Pullman hotel cars of new and ele-
CANT pattern will be used while al
most the entire round of travel through
Mexico will be by day. The program
includes not only liberal sojourn in
the City of Mexico, with numerous car
riage rides and side excursions, but
special visits will be paid to dozen OF
more interesting points seldom visited
by tourists. The trip has been plan
ned upon the most liberal scale, with a
view to render the tour a thorough
round of travel, and at the same time
to provide every possible comfort and
luxury to the passenger. 1t would be
impossible to make so comprehensive
tour in any other way. The Ray
mond & WhitcOmb tours should not
be COMPOUNDED with the cheap excur-
siOns which provide a railway ticket
and nothing else. All travelling ex-
penses, including double berth in a
Pullman sleeping car, hotel bills, car
riage rides, transfers, etc., ETC., are
covered by a Raymond ticket, and the
passenger is relieved of all care, as
well as the incidental expense and
trouble of being left to shift for him.
self. The tours through Mexico will
be more than ordinarily attractive and
interesting; and, as the number of ex-
cursionists will be limited, the two
parties will unquestionably be filed al
an early date. A full descriptive cir

DIR "ELECTRICAIn POLICE.

The electricity in the st. JOhnsbury
police force is working to good pur
pose these days. A keg of beer came
up by express last Thursday addressed
to Joseph Ivers. Now Ivers was pros
ecuted for liquor selling not long since
and Policeman Thompson kept IN eye
on the keg, accompanied the boy that
called for it up Railroad street until
opposite the Odd Fellows hall when it
was sliced and Ivers called to account.
Ivers declared he knew nothing of it
and said some one else had been using
his name, and Justice Johnson ordered
the beer to he taken to the town
agent.
Friday night Horace Peck, Curtis
Harvey and Homer Brewster had a
general time of it in VIM. Browns liv-
cry stable on Railroad street, result
ing in blackened eyes and bruised
faces. The trio were up before Justice
Johnson Saturday aud fined S. each
and costs for being drunk, and Harvey
and Brewster were fined $40 each for
assault.

The Methodist Church.

1t was quarterly conference at the
Methodist church last Sunday. Mon
day evening the regular quarterly bust
ness meeting was held. AS it was not
the annual meeting of the society there
were no reports made of the years
work but some items of interest have
been gathered. ID. G. Mcfarland was
chosen steward in place of j. B. SOper.
The church now has about $50 men,
bers. Over 20 new members have been
added to the church during the year
% from probation into full member
ship, 81 by letter from other churches
and II on probation. During the year
$500 has been raised and applied to
the church debt pledges by the ladies
and altogether the years work has
been very encouraging and the pros
pect for the future of the society was
never more promising.

THE TELEPHONE REVIVED.

There is chance that st. Johns
bury may secure it's telephone service
again, after all. Manager c. G. Bing-
ham has made formal pr position to
the telephone company, offering to pay
a certain fixed price for the use of the
Instruments and leasing them to sub
scribers himself. If the proposition is
accepted the old subscribers will be
interviewed and those who desire to
replace the instruments given an
opportunity SO to do. The rates will
probably be the same as before the
"strike."
just what the telephone company is
up to, is as much of puzzle rs ever.
There were five more telephones taken
out in Rutland, Jan. |, leaving only
95 instruments in that exchange, which
was started with over 100. The COM
pany does not seem to be discouraged,
however, and goes right along as
usual.

NEW YEARS RECEPTION.

The New Years reception at the

very pleasantly. Gov. Fairbanks and

receive the greetings of the season,
and it certainly was a very happy be-

were prOfusely decorated with plants
and flowers both rich and rare, the
skillful handiwork of Florist Gentry.
The very books on the shelves of the
library seemed to take on holiday
aspect and Shakespeare and Milton and
all the other worthless silently APPROX
ed this delightful custom. The art

in the evening, was specially attractive
in the light of the many gas jets. In
