If the statement of the Advocate, Pro-
hibition paper at White River Junction,
that a meeting in South Londonderry,
addressed by DIR, Bixby of Poultney, was
broken up by outside disturbance made
and stones thrown by people who gave
cheers for Harrison and Morton, ali we
can say is that ifttheir identity can be es-
tablished they ought to be prosecuted.
Republicans should be and usually are
too highly civilized to engage in that sort
of thing and if any Republican did 1t
they disgraced themselves, their cause
and their party.-Rutland Herald
The naked facts in this case are
that the whole disturbance was
caused by some eight or ten boys,
not % as stated by the Advocate.
1t commenced in this way: DR.. Blk
BY, in the outset of his remarks, sta
ted that it had been said that there
was only one Prohibitionist in town
and if this was so it was his belief
that he was ON the majority side.
This brought groan from the gallery.
Proceeding in his remarks he then
said that the Democratic party had
done more for the cause of temper
ance than the Republican party.
This was followed by more dissent
from the gallery. The Doctor at this
point reproved the dsturbers, where
upon they left the gallery and hall,
making considerable noise in so doing
and proving that they belonged to the
hoodlum element. The cheers given
outside, so far as the writer, who was
present, was able to judge by their
voices, were wholly given by small
BOYS, and not more than three or four
of them. The whole matter is uni
versally regretted and condemned by
all of our citizens. And no one is
responsible for it except the small
hoodlum element mentioned above.
This was fully expressed in our issue
of the 9th, but undoubtedly was over
looked or forgotten by the Herald.
The Republicans of Londonderry are
staunch believers in free speech and
are not afraid of public discussion by
all political opponents. The idea OF
any party interference in this case is
perfectly ridiculous when it is consid-
cred that the meeting itself was a to-
tai failure, there being only 6 or s
voters and some II or 10 women
present. These, with the gallery
boys, making up the entire audience.

1.-THE use Of ice water in this country Is

thought that . factory for producing arti-
fetal Ice would DO very profitable there,
where the temperature is very high. An
English syndicate constructed the neces.

would not touch Ice water. Then. to
tempt their palates by creating an appe

placed free tanks Of ice water upon the
street corners Of the cities. 1t was a

per cent. of those remaining have al.

Fishing for Husbands.

Recently there was a gathering of
young married couples In Louisville, and
the conversation turned on the manner in
which the wives had secured their hns-
bands. One had paved the way to the
altar by making face at the fated one
because she thought he had stared at her
impudently. He admired her mettle, and
sought ON introduction Another made
the acquaintance Of the man who is now
her husband by accidentally sousing him
with pan of dishwater. which she tossed
out Of the kitchen window into an alley

to be the most novel was the experience

now his better half, and one evening, out

from which timber has been removed,
although they previously swarmed there
in. In the propagation Of fish it is not
enough to place the fry in water; they

means to do this is to preserve the Dor.

WINDHAM COUNTY COURT.

Wills as Taylor. This case which
occupied three days last week was an
action of trover brought by the plain
tiff to recover damages for a sled
which was taken by the defendant
and sold to pay the costs of dlspos-
sessing the plaintiff from lands and
tenements belonging to one Shepard
of So. Newfane. The plaintiff claim
ed the sled was not subject to attach
ment as it had been previously sold.
The defendant denied this, claiming
the plaintiff had made an illegal con-
veyance to avoid attachment. The
plaintiff further claimed that the
blacksmith shop, from which he was
dispossessed and on which the costs
were made, was not on Shepard's
land and therefore the costs were not
legal. Judgment for the plaintiff on
the sled of $16.66. The jury found
for the defendant that the costs were
legally assessed as the land in fact
belonged to Shepard.

which had been an appurtenant to his
farm for upwards of 80 years. The
parties are farmers on West River

the case to the jury as itappears from
the standpoint of the prosecution.
In this he pointed out the main cir
cumstances which point to the re-
spondent's guilt, giving brief ac-
count of the finding of the body of
Miss Jenevra Knapp on the 18th
day of last August. Following this,
plans were introduced and explained
showing the situation of the post-office
where the murder is alleged to have
been committed, the buildings near
the same and the road running past
the office. A miniature counter was
also presented with post-office boxes,
show case, shelf, boxes &C., made ey-
actly similar to the counter behind
which Miss Knapp was found dead.
