VERMONT seems to be winning laurels for
the production of first-class vocalists as
well as fine horses and beautiful women.
Last evening an immense audience greeted
Miss Howe. Miss Adeline Hibbard, form
erly of st. JOhnsbury, seems likely to
rival Miss Howe in vocal powers. She has
won name and fame in London and Paris.
WITHOUT being captious, it is in order to
make known complaint entered in regard
to the delivery of mail at this post office to
those living out of town. 1t was pretty
hard when an old resident sent in by his
brother for his mail last Saturday and was
refused delivery of the mail containing cleo
ton news "'Tis pity, but pity tbs, It's
true"
IT is all over the country. The New
York Herdtd tells how it is in the big city
" A day like yesterday, with its rheumatic
drizzle its pasty, sticky, mucilaginous mud,
curdles the milk of human kindness and
takes more religion out of man than
forty horse power sermon can put into him
on the balmest Sunday of the year. You
see it was condition that confronted us;
not theory
NOTHING so fully shows the difference in
the mental and moral calibre of republicans
and democrats as the manner in which they
have conducted themselves during the
presidential canvass just closed, and the
manner in which they took the result. Who
doubts that before this, had Cleveland been
elected, the town would have borne an ex-
tremely ruddy hue-leaving noses out of
consideration?

HIRAM ATKINS was conspicuous by his
absence from the polls last week. A lead
ing republican said that accounted for the
democratic vote in Montpelier. He was
brought to the polls, however, in a hack dur
ing the day and voted, and walked across
the street to where the marble walls of the
government building are going up but did
not tarry. He is great sufferer from
hemorrhoids, eczema and other diseases,
which confine him to his home. Nothing
less than presidential election would
tempt him to take the risk of going out
Lutte c., daughter of Charles E. Jones
Of Waitsfeld, died suddenly Wednesday
night. She had attended school as usual
during the day. had spent the evening with
a friend, Louise Gleason, daughter of r. j.
Gleason, and had returned home, when she
was taken with commissions and died in
about an hours time. Miss Jones was the
niece of Senator Jones, who was called
home by the sad occurrence. She was
nineteen years of age, was highly esteemed
and much beloved, and her death has
caused the profoundest sorrow among all
who knew her.
A WEEK before the election, Henry w.
Stevens, travelling salesman for G. III. Cross
x Son, was in Underhill Center, and was
invited by j. j. Monahan to be there on the
10th instant and help to celebrate with the
democrats the victorious result of the cleo
tion. After the election Henry wrote the
democratic statesman as follows: " find it
will be impossible for me to he present at
the jollification meeting in your place, on
the 10th instant, but | beg to send "A senti-
ment and would like to have V. A. Bullard
respond to it, if he is not too tired
We shall miss their solemn faces
In the bonire's brilliant glare,
For our Grover and our Allen
Have climbed the golden stair
A DISPATCH, rank with age got on the
wires Wednesday TO the effect that the New
York Tribune had editorially expressed un-
certainty as to the result in New York, but
believed that Harrison was elected, though
in this view of the matter it reckoned Con-
necticut as republican. Coupled with re-
port that returns from a number of pre-
cincts in Brooklyn had been held back,
some concern began to be felt by republi-
cans, who had more credulity than L" sand. &"
/ Measuring dispatches soon came from Bos-
ton and Chairman Quay. The disturbing
dispatch was subsequently discovered in a
copy of the Boston Post which had left the
city of its publication in the morning. and
was in fact nearly twenty-four hours old.
