many ~lapidaries, but there is only one large
establishment wherein precious stones Of all
Kinds are cut aud polished as well a.

however, New York and Boston have beei
training some excellent cutters OF DIAMONDS.
Apropos Of these costly caioons, 'aeIe ais ~,
dozens OF men in New York who buy, sell
and exchange diamonds without having any
fixed place Of business. They carry then
offices in their hats, theic stock in their pocK'

w. L. Pearl on the Situation.

w. L. Pearl on the Situation.
The prohibitionists of Chittenden
county met in convention at Burling-
ton Tuesday. w. L. Pearl was one of
the speakers and said:
He did not want to belittle the re-
publican or democratic party, but the
aim was to win the better part of both
parties. He did not want to say the
republicans were not a temperance
party. He thought as a rule through
out the state the prosecuting officers
elected were unfit for the position. He
would make an exception of Chitten-
den county which has sheriff who
does his duty. He told how the laws
were ignored in Caledonia county.
Four years ago temperance man was
nominated for sheriff by one majority
by the republicans. The whisky men
told the democrats if they would re-
nominate a republican ex-sheriff they
would help elect him and it was done.
This is the case right here in Vermont
where we boast of prOhibitOry laws,
but what must it be i'm other states.
He knew that the work was slow, but
he was not discouraged.

Summer street in front of the Union
school hoHse early Friday evening as

They came together very near the CEN

Harris buggy entering Griswold's
horse above the right shoulder a suffi-
cient distance to cause immediate
death. 1t was good animal recently
purchased by Captain Griswold and
valued at fully $500.

The New Catholic Church.


Work on the Catholic church is rap
idly progressing. The interior is near
ly all lathed and ready for the masons
and gives very good idea of the in
side as it will appear when completed
so far as form is concerned. The CEN
trail windows on the east and west
sides will be of cOlored glass and will
contain life size figures of the four
evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, two on either side, while be-
tween the two on each side will be
figures of st. Patrick and st. John the
Baptist, the patron saints of the Irish
and French churches. The other win
dows will be illuminated with various
religious emblems and high up in the
rear of the altar will be life-sized heads
of the Virgin Mary and of st. Leon and
st. Luis. The general effect of the in
! terror will be very fine.

been raised for the purchase of cam

enough nobody on Main street has
