They are making it hot for rumsellers
at Island Pend, filming them from twenty
to fifty dollars each, and giving them
terms at the House of Correction. Serv-
ed them right. If men engage in unlaw-
full business, they must expect the law
to step on them heavily once in while
Some of those who are receiving their Ii
| quors in express packages here, may learn
something about the Vermont prohibitory
liquor law. Others are begging to have
their names and their doings kept out of
the paper. Get out of the nefarious bus
ness, boys. That is the best way.
A man, guess who, this early morn found
Prancing, wildly, madly down the street;
Running fast homeward like salt-shot hound
In fortunes, yelling, go my feet my feet!''
Last night it seems his loving, patient wife,
Feeling it not wicked mildly to
On this first April day to signs of life
Old energies in her lazy, sleepy spouse,
Let fall, regardless of his bowls or boots,
Some cayenne pepper in his cowhide boots.
You will not ask what set his feet afame
Or wonder that he homeward, swearing came,
q will not blame the much-astonshed wife,
She saw that pepper brought her dead to life.
Each one who calls this false mildly caustic,
Ere he condemns should read the thing acrostic.
The entertainment at the hall on Friday
evening, gotten up under the auspices of
the cornet band was well attended and
very enjoyable. The band, Mr.. Batchel-
der, Mrs. d. d. Bean, Mr.. Cobb Mrs.
Shaw, Mrs. Prime, Misses Cora Murkland,
Mae Robinson and Gertie Skinner all took
part, and 1t is needless to say that they
did their parts we'll. Miss Maud Murk-
land, now home on a short visit from
Boston, where she has been engaged in
the study of music, and where she has q
paid position in church choir, sang sew
eral pieces to the pleasure of all present.
Miss Maud's voice has developed greatly
under training; her tones are musical and
she has great range and power. We are
glad to note her success. Quite large
number were in costume and a couple of
hours were spent in the winding mazes of
the promenade. Our people will do we'll
to remember always that they can pre-
pare among themselves, with little cost
or trouble. a better, cleaner and more en-
joyable entertainment than any that comes
from abroad.

with US for the past seven years nearly.
