WILLIAMsTowN.-A recent town item,
suggested by seeing Walton's Vermont regis.
ter for 1918 and 49, has brought us very
pleasant letter from stranger, upwards OF
eighty years of age, who was born and lived
for long time in an adjoining county, and
is now "A resident of Boston. He has always
patronzed the Montpelier papers, the old
Voice Of Freedom, edited by q. L. Knapp,
the Green Mountain Freeman, and the Yer
mont Waterman, of which he is yet reader,
AT the time Dea. Robert Seaver repre-
sented our place isis, he writes that his
own father represented his town and Dea.
Seaver used to accompany him home on
Saturdays and preach the following Sab
baths in their school-house, practice that
he kept up for some years afterwards "
He remembers Dea. Seaver as ian ex-
cellent man" He also recalls the fact that
his son Stillman Seaver once taught in the
same school district and he was one of his
pupils He was once well acquainted in
Williamstown and mentions the names of
several of the leading citizens, of an earlier
day, all of whom are now dead. Among
other interesting items he mentions that he
" attended the first railroad meeting held in
Montpelier in the interest of the Vermont
Central road. A committee was appointed
to visit Mr.. Cottrill's stage office to learn
how many passengers passed through the
state, to see II railroad would pay TO run

Probably a Double Murder.

What will probably prove murder
most foul and revolving, blackened
the annals Of Kent county on Tuesday
at Hartley, when George Peterson u
dissolute son of James G. Peterson. a
respectable citizen of Dover, cut Fred
er!ck Mas, a hard working black
smith of HArtleY,in such manner as
to probably cause his death, and also
cut Alexander Dill's throat so that
deash may follow.
The facts as near as possible are as
follows: Peterson and another man
left Dover on Tuesday morning for
the purpose of Il spree" or, as those
who know Peterson, know his ideas Of
a "spree," u big drunk. free tight, or
anything of disorderly character
Peterson is 5laclSsmith, aud they
went to the shop Of Frederick Mas:
There he got into All alteration with
Mas and Alexander Dill, mill
wright. He tanned Mas with not
understanding his business and was
knocked down.
He then jumped t. his feet aud drew
a razor. With it he cut Mas through
the left lung. Dill interferej and was
cut in The threat. Both men were
married and nave families. At this
writing. Thursday afternoon, both
Mas aud Dill are lying in very criti-
cal eonditions.and it is believed tbat
both will die from their injuries. Geo.

HOUSTON. - The Houston Sunday
School held their annual entertain
ment on Christmas night. In the an
IicipatiOn of a large audience, it wai
deemed advisable to procure the large
and cOmmOdiOus warehouse of the
cannery here, and also to charge an ad
mission fee of ten cents. Notwitb.
standing all these precautions, mum.
bers were turned away, being impOssi.
ble to procure standing room, as the
house was filled to its utmost capacity.
Evergreens and holly were used for
decorations, which made a weird but
beautiful scene, and met the admira-
tiOn of all. Visitors from as far north
as Dover were noticed in the audience.
and from Milford, Harrington and
surrounding towns. All were unan-
imous in expressing their opinion
that the affair was perfect success;
the great secret of success, however,
being in tue unusual amount of talent
found among the young ladies and
gentlemen OF the Sunday School. An
address was made by our beloved pas
tor, Rev. Jas. Carroll, and his apprO.
PIRATE words will long be remembered,
not only by The Sunday School, but by
all who were present. The program
consisted of a correct representation
of cantata, written by a well-knOwn
New York writer entitled, "A Waifs
Christmas" which was carried out to
perfection. The characters of "FlOs-
sic, " representing the daughter Ofa rich
New York banker, 10y Miss Cora Dick
e:sOn, and Man." representing poor
girl, by Miss Bessie COunselman, de-
serves special attention. The solos as
sung by these two young ladies and
Miss Smith, the reeitatlOns by Miss
Carrie Armour, Miss Eva Vineyard,
and Miss Sallie Johnson, also deserve
special praise. During the perform
ance a number Inappropriate tableaux
were introduced d-calcium lights being |
used for reflectOrs. which had the effect |
Of making the scenes very pretty and |
enchanting. AT the conclusion of the
entertainment,the children were each
presented with a large box of candies
which were of course greatly apprecl-
ated by them. Santa Claus received
quite a number of OvatiOns, especially
his solo, entitled, II am Santa Claus" "
His actions IN distributing the candies
greatly amused the audience in gen.
sral. The managers were in receipt
# numerous compliments, and were
Insisted upon to have another enter
.ainnent during January; but it is
rot very likely this will be complied
with ,as the cannery will by that time
