VERoENNEs RUM-SHoPs RAIDED.

There were lively times among some
of the dealers in intoXicants at Vergennes
on Saturday. A carefully planned raid
upon their establishments was success
fully carried out by Deputy Sheriffs w.
III. Cobb of Middlebury, Olin A. Smith
of Addison, L. C. Middlebrook of Yer
gennes and j. A. Caldwell of New Haven.
The premises invaded were the saloon
and dwelling of Johh Ryan, Richard
Maldoon's saloon and living rooms and
John Connor's saloon. AT Ryan's house
a 15-gallon jug of whiskey was found in
a flour barrel, covered up in the -four
The best haul was at Connor's saloon,
where Mr.. Cobb unearthed beneath the
basement floor 80 bottles of ale and beer,
two 10-gallon kegs, one five-gallon jug
and four other jugs of whiskey, four
fruit cans of liquor, four quarts of gin
and seven bottles of assorted liquors.
The stuff was arraigned before Justice
j. w. Barnes on Saturday afternoon and
adiudged forfeited to the use of the town
agent. States Attorney Wilds represent
ted the State. Prosecutions for keeping
with intent to sell are now in order.

Mr.. MoCAUoHEY's SHIPMENT.

The Merinos bought for MIR. Saml Nc
Caughey of Coonong, New South Wales,
by Mr.. Bissell of East Shoreham and by
Messrs. Bissell and McCaughey together
since the latter's arrival back in this
county from England three weeks ago,
bought in Michigan, three in Central
New York and the rest in Vermont and
principally in Addison county. They
will be shipped from East Shoreham to
New York on Monday next; will leave
New York for London the 2Sth or Goth
on an Anchor line steamer, and will go
thence to Australia on the steamer Hand
kow, reaching their destination about
August l. Mr.. Ed. Morrison of Addison,
who went out with Mr.. McCaughey's
former shipment, will go through with
these. Mr.. McCaughey, who is now in
this vicinity, will sail from New York
for England on the Umbria on Saturday,
the 2Sth. The sheep are of the best that
this country produces. More than half
of them are ewes. They are at Mr.. Bis
sells, where a public shearing was held
on Saturday. 1t is needless to say that
the records made were such as Mr..
McCaughey will not be ashamed of when
he gets home. All the animals are now
shorn. Messrs. Smith & Allen of this
place have been busily occupied for two
weeks making boxes to put the sheep
into when they reach New York and in
which they will stay till the end of the
sea voyage. Each box is constructed
to hold eight animals, four in each of
the two compartments. The object OF
the boxes is to furnish an easy means of
transferring the animals, to keep them
dry and protect them from the weather
1t took AZ of the boxes to hold the lot
as some of the animals are too big to be
packed by Fights.

sions passed quietly away His sickness,
though brief was not thought to be of dam
gerous form for the first four days; then he
seemed suddenly to be insane. Pneumonia
set in, and aided by other difficulties of long
standing, very suddenly snatched him from
his fathers home, where he had been an in
mate for forty years. Caring little for other
than home society, that fact makes his alb
sence most keenly felt by those LETT of the
home circle, especially by the two younger
er for counsel and assistance in their child
hood days; and he was always ready to assist
them. His father feels his stan is gone mt an
age when most sorey needed. His home
worth was of invaluable comfort to the fami
1y. He was born near East Middlebury on
the place now occupied by Rev. Mr.. Bidwell,
but Tor 81 years had lived on the farm where
he died. He was buried from his fathers

JOHN PICKETT CHAMPLIN.

Every one who during the past eight years
has visited the inmates ut the town farm IN
Middlebury well remembers the OLD man VINO,
though living helpless cripple on his BED OF
pain yet seemed bright and so far superior in
Intelligence to what might be expected there.
That old man was John Pickett Cnamplin,
who was born Nov. o, 1916, at the old Champlin
family homestead, within sight OF the place
where he suffered for eight years. a cher.
ished hope was that he might spend ms last
days where his childhood home nad been; ;
but fate decreed otherwise. Lite opened fair
~ prosperous before him, and July 3O lSi3
he married Miss Jane Boardinan. soon after
Champlin and his wife started tor what was
then the tar West and settled at Manitowoc,
Wisconsin, where he lived and labored q
number of years until failing health turned
his steps homeward, and he returned to Mid
dlebury. Two daughters, Alice and Frances,
were the fruit OF the marriage; Alice, now the
wife OF julius Seeley, alone survives MN. Al
various times he engaged in business at East
Middlebury until i'll health compelled him TO
abandon il entirely. He then went to live
with his daughter, Alice Seeley, where he con-
tinued to live until his removal to the town
farm about 1880. For many years acute IN
f1ammatory rheumatism caused him intense
suffering and thoroughly disabled him, keep
ing him closely confined to his bed. lie was
n man OF keen sensiblities and of more than
ordinary intelligence. He had good CONVEX.
sational powers and the faculty of readily
and clearly expressing himself. Though NOT
member of any church he was not devoid
OF religious faith and a holy hope. An attack
OF pneumonia resulted in his death March 81.
at East Middlebury, yesterday, April l. Inc
very large gathering at that time testined 10
the esteem in which he was held by many OF
his friends and acquaintances The following
verses were composed by Mr.. Champlain in
his SEVENTEEN year:
OF planets circling round the sun,

God cOmprehends their use ana enuS,
Pervades and governs all.
No two alike nor could have been
In the creative plan,
And no less true OF grains OF sand
Or sha les OF lite on man.
All forms and kinds and types OF life
Born of earthly mother,
Were Swallowed by creative power
Duly and in order.
Thus Dame Natures brooding mission
In the creative line,
Crowned all in bowery Eden
With ruling man OF time.
Man blessed with intentions
In accord with natures role
Found promise in life elements
OF an immortal soul.
compensating Providence,
Inherent in LIES stream,
Mysteriously toreshadows
The souls immortal dream.
Nor ends the scale with life of man
Piled with reasoning leaven;
1t spans no less through boundless space
Soul visioned sphere OF Heaven.
Nor matters it, soon or late
The soul makes its exit here;
1t gravitites by laws divine
To its own proper sphere.
Thus all are blessed as one great whole
Each as its needs may rule,
And order reigns through vision spheres
of Heavens progressive school. y.

BOSTON PRODUCE.
The tendency of the butter market continues
in buyers favor. The supply OF new butter is
steadily increasing, and as receivers are anx-
ious to clean W. every day, lower prices have
to be accepted. More liberal receipts of
dairy from Vermont and New York are ex-
pected this week, and % to 26c per pound is
all that is safe to quote tor finest lots, though
some of the selections go as high as cream
cry. Ordinary lots have been moving off at
20 to 24c, but these may take II lower range. In
fact, ii is impossible to give n close quotation
as some receivers are more anxious to sell
than others, and difference OF &c is indicated
in the sales OF some grades.
Strictly choice domestic small pea beans are
scarce, and sales range ut 80 and upward.
Holders of choice marrow pea have been sell
ing round lots a little more freely at 81 so and
in "A small way at S2.s5. Domestic mediums
are dull at $40 to S2.75 per bushel.
The long expected decline in eggs has set in.
Sales were made Tuesday at Is to l9c per doz
en-, and If receipts continue to increase still
lower rates may be looked for, though the
supply is still considerably short OF last year.
On all grades OF potatoes, except HOulton
rose the market is a shade easier. The rose
are still taken tor seed at l.O5 to sl.lO, but
other Eastern range from So to 95c. Northern
including white stock, range from 10 to SIC.

SIS Medium grades Sl3 to Sl5 per ton. Rye
straw is in light supply, with sales at s22 to

The grass seed trade continues backward,

There has been fair amount OF business
done in wool this week. but that the trade has
been an unsatisfactory one goes without say
ing. Territory woods are moving quite freely
