This incident did not happen in
st. Johnsbury, but it might have. The
Boston Herald says a metropolitan
clergyman came to a full stop in his
Sunday sermon, and waited patiently
for his congregation to stop coughing;
for few minutes the place sounded
like hen show, and then, the rest
was silence. A truly excellent remedy.

Attempted Boycott in st. JOhnsbury.
James Ahearn, representing the ST.
Johnsbury Knights of Labor, called
this week on III. j. Goodrich, hardware
dealer on Railroad street, and s'urged"
him to sell other goods than those
manufactured by Fuller, Warren &
Co., stove manufacturers, against whom
the knights have grievance. Repre-
sentatives of the order also called on
the Woodruffs; but they had none of
the Fuller Warren goods and G. P.
Carpenter escaped visitation as he
has not kept them for some time. St.
Johnsbury is getting along when boy
colts are attempted after this fashion
Neither Mr.. Goodrich nor Mr.. Wood
ruff showed any disposition to "give
under" to the boycotters. The former
sends out couple of the condemned
stoves this morning, and though the
other two dealers do not happen to
have them on hand they will undoubt-

over the previous poar. The expendi-

year constituted 81 per cent. of tho to-
tai disbursements Of the government
and 2l3 per cent. Of its total gross in
income. Truly, no one can deny that
of the war are liberallv dealt
