Mr.. CHARLES A. REED, formerly cashier
of the Montpelier National Bank and . |
prominent and well known resident and
native of this village, arrived in town Satur.-
day evening ON visit of two or three weeks
duration Mr.. Reed has been cashier of |
bank at Sterling, ILL.,, but has recently been

THE quarters of the Montpelier Public
Library have proven inadequate for the
needs of the institution and the trustees
have rented, in addition to the room hitherto
occupied, the larger room adjoining. En-
trance will hereafter be found through the
second door to the right at the head of the
main staircase in the opera-house building
1t is evident that the library is in a flour
ishing condition, and as the change is made !
with view to greater convenience to the
public, the public, by increased patronage,
should sustain the action of the trustees in
making it.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal telegraphed this October y:
"The Vermont delegation has had some
success to-day. Fred w. Morse, the gem
eral freight agent of the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad, was appointed dis
bursting agent of the new building to be
erected at Montpelier of which Hiram At
kins is the superintendent. The work upon
this building will be commenced at an early
date, and something will be accomplished
this fall. 1t is very probable, also, that the
delegation will succeed in securing the re-
torney and of the postmaster at Mont
pelier, and the appointment of F. III.
Bascom to the latter place" One of the
visiting statesmen from Vermont volun-
teered the information that they " didn't
come there for fun this time of year" This
begins to look like the beginning of the end.
THE parties concerned in the burglary Of
Arms & Haines' store at Waterbury Thurs
day night were arrested and had hearing
before Justice G. III. Lease at Waterbury
Saturday afternoon, States Attorney Kemp
conducting the examination in behalf of the
state The names of the parties arrested
are Fred and Burt LABEL, Will Lovely,
SMYRNA Patterson and Fred Boiselle for
the burglary and Samuel and Lucinda Rey
nolds for receiving and secreting the prop
erty. The examination resulted in the
whole crowd being held in $500 bail each for
trial, in default of which they were all
brought here and inserted into Jail with the
exception of Burt LABEL, a young boy, who
is left at home under the care of an officer.
The goods taken are valued at between two
and three hundred dollars, and were nearly
all found in the possession of the Reynolds
family. They consisted, among other things,
of tfty-five iack-knives, eleven pairs of
gloves, twenty-one boxes of percussion
caps, two hundred eighty-six cigars and a
vast amount of fancy and toilet articles.
This nest of thieves was a dangerous one,
and the town is to be congratulated on their
THE Mariana Opera Company had very
good audience at Blanchard Opera-house
Monday evening, including most of their
old friends and many new ones. Their re-
ception was an enthusiastic one but it was
entirely merited. Miss Estey, the soprano
of the company, has voice which must
win admirers wherever she is heard, and
she is pleasing actress. Miss Edmands
is just as good as ever, and that means a
great deal, as all who have heard her will
testify. She will always be a favorite with
Montpelier people. Mr.. Bartlett is the best
tenor who has ever appeared here in opera
and his acting is most natural and pleasing.
Mr.. Cornell was received with even greater
favor than at his first appearance here. His
work is very satisfactory, and his voice is a
grand one. Mr.. Brine seemed to be suffer
ing from cold and hoarseness. He per-
formed his part well and sang as well as the
circumstances would permit. Mr.. Clark is
the "funny man " of the company and he
plays his part well. SO does Mr.. Reach,
the pianist. The company is an excellent
one and their visits to Montpelier if they
shall come again, will always be source of
great enjoyment for our people. Last night
they presented new OPERA "The Mad
cap" translated and adapted especially for
them and never performed in America by
any other company.
