probably VeniO was carried out into
the river by the land slide as there
have been found what were supposed
to be portions of a human body Oh the
rocks in the eddy so feet below the
"crib." Meanwhile work has been re-
sumed on the road as before the slide
and a close watch is maintained for the
body in case it should appear. Venio's
son talks of bringing suit against the
town of Munroe for the death of his
father.

Mr.. Editor Evidently there is ,
misunderstanding in the minds of YOU
readers with regard to the petition re
Gently presented to the Fair GrOunt
Co., by the w. c. L. U. This was no
the work of the St. JOhnsbury uniol
alone but the result of united effor
on the part of different unions in tn
county to prevent, if possible, the sal'
| of alcohol in any form on the fai
ground. This petition was circulate,
in different towns and contained tn
signatures of many of the leading citi
zens of the county. Nearly 400 name
were given in st. Johnsbury alon
while many more could easily hav
been obtained, as large majority o
the community heartily endorse Ou
action in the matter. We object to tn
sale of cider for three reasons:
1st. Because the w. G. T. q. dis
countenance the use of cider in an
form.
I'd. Because we have good reaso
to believe that other liquors are sol
disguised as cider.
Sd. Because the sale of cider is in d
rect violation of the law which declare
that no person shall sell or furnish ci
der or fermented liquor at any place c
public resort.
1t is doubtless true that the official
of the Fair Ground Co., are in sympa
thy with the temperance movemen
and it is only necessary to call after
3 tiOn to the fact that the sale of cider
violation of law.
