AT the school meeting Tuesday eve, S.
b. Waite was elected Moderator; a. V.
Wiswell, Clerk and Treasurer; E. B.
%lectOr; II. NJ. Mcfarland. NJ. Z. Cheney
and Rev. E. j. Ward, Prudential Com
mittee. Voted to have three terms of
school of eleven weeks each the coming
yeal. Also voted to raise a tax of 40
cents on the dollar, subject to the 4 per
? cent. discount.
Among the changes that are to take
place on or near April 1St we hear of the
following: E. H. Sherwin will move to
johnson; w. II. Ii. Kenfield will move
into Sherwin's house; j. w. Redmond
and wife will temporarily locate at the
hotel and in a short time occupy a fiat in
the "Alhambra'' formerly known as the
Cleveland tenement; Frank Wheeler
will occupy the Lewis suburban cot
tage at the West End.
The Selectmen of the town have ap-
pointed Col. Sawyer lis Fish Warden,
and we Judge the laws for the preServa-
ton of fish will be put in force. we
would suggest to parties interested that
an examination of chapter 17O' OF the
Revised Laws of Vermont, and the
various amendments thereto, passed in
the years 1882, 1884 and 1886, would per-
haps be wise. Trout caught before the
first day of May would be too luxurious
in these hard times at ten dollars per
head.
The public money for this town vas
divided among the several districts last
week. The whole amount is made up
from the following funds: One-half of
the interest on Surplus Fund, S1O3.61 {;
Huntington Fund. $62.16; twelve per

of time.
The marriage of Chas. Goddard and
Stella Waterman occurred Wednesday
afternoon of last week at four O'Clock.
The affair was a private one-nOne but
the immediate relatives of the contract
ing parties being present. Rev. E.. j.
Ward performed the ceremony, after
which refreshments were served. Those
who were fortunate enough to get a
glimpse of the bride say she was becOm-
ingly attired IN a lavender silk with
white lace over-dreSs. The united pair
left on the evening train for Franklin
county. where they have spent the week
with relatives. Stella has always lived
in this place and has a host of friends
here. As a member of the church choir
she has always %cheerfully aided when
ever and wherever necessary. Always
ready to lend her assistance in all mat
tiers of public good. it is not strange that

Familiarity known, has also for several
years been a member of the choir and
his services have been freely given on
all occasions. With their many friends
we join in wishing them a life of unal-
loyed bliss. On their return they will
take up their residence in the Al
hambra," where everything has been
placed i'll readiness for housekeeping.
THE SPECIAL Town MEETINa.-The
meeting called for last Saturday to re-
Scind the vote of the regular March
Meeting, authorizing the payment of
$4,000 of the bonded debt, drew out a
full house. Owing to the illness of
Moderator Mcfarland, Col. +. b. Sawyer
was chosen to fill the vacancy. The
larger part of the afternoon was taken
i'll discussing the question. Remarks
in favor of resembling were made by
IL, A. Bailey, Jos. LaPage, Jas. Lucas
and Geo. Gilmore, all of whom urged
that it would be a heavy burden upon
farmers and laboring classes, that 1t
would be impossible for many to raise
the money, and that it would seriously
embarras others. Those who opposed
resembling and spoke against it were
Waldo Brigham, G. S, Page, W;D. Man
S. b. Waite and E. w, Prior, DR., Ran
dali and E. J. Parker hoped the act
would be rescinded in order that steps
might be taken to raise the achOle debt at
once. This latter move did not meet
with much encouragement, although
there were present a considerable num-
Der who favored the movement. Those
who spoke against resembling referred to
the fact that our neighbOring towns
were paying their debt off rapidly and
if we did not look out this town would
be left alone with a heavy debt thereon.
While it might embarraSS some 1t would
be just as easy to pay $4,000 this year as
it would next; the debt was a heavy one
and we ought to begin to unload at once
our personal list was on the decline
that it was establishing a bad precedent
to undo what was done at a regular town
meeting. Col. Sawyer also made some
remarks. 1t was a debt that ought to
be paid; it would distress many to pay
it. He could not give any advice in
either direction, but he was with them, |
intended to remain with them whatever
was the result; winding up with q story |
that brought down the house. Finally a
ballot was taken which resulted in a
vote of IS to 81 in favor of resembling.
A motion then made to pass over the
next article, which was to see if the
town would vote TO raise a sum less than
SIC, 600, was lost. A motion made by
Jas. Lucas that we pay $1,000, was
amended by H. NJ. Noyes, who moved
that a special tax of 100 cents on the dol
lar be raised for the debt, was carried.
This, we understand. if the list is the
same or Whereabouts as it was last year,
will pay, with the 81 600 already voted,
about 81, 500, not a very bad come-dOWn
after all. The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the entire discussion, and
while the movement to pay $4,000 was
defeated, we think on a full vote a ma
jority of the town is in favor of paying
the debt as rapidly as possible and in
larger installments than So, 200.
