ALBERT ROzHNWEIGH, a peudler OF Jew
elry, was arrested at Rutland on Tuesday
of last week, at the request of Officer Tuttle,
charged with stealing $50 and several small
articles, the property of Eli Jewett, from
the house of A. G. Hall. Rozenweigh was
arraigned before Justice Smile on Thurs
day afternoon, and number of witnesses
were examined. The evidence was not
sufficient to hold the accused, and he was
discharged.
THE game OF football announced to occur
on last Saturday afternoon between the
boys of the Union Grammar School and the
Goddard Seminary team did not occur
The Goddard boys were to have an exam
ination soon after, and did not wish to run
the risk of receiving injuries that might in
terfere with the best results. This is the
first instance on record, we believe, OF boys
giving school work the preference when an
athletic game was the other claimant for
attention
News comes of the death in Elliott Iowa,
on Tuesday, November II, at the age OF
twelve years OF Nellie Elizabeth, only
daughter of Henry and Emeline S. Barnes,
and granddaughter of Mrs. Susan ii. STRAIT

place. The event was sudden and unlocked
for, and another evidence Of the fatal ma
ture of malignant diphtheria, The circle of
those who count themselves among the
friends of the young girls mother and her
Montpelier relatives is large, and many
hearts are therefore saddened by the intel
ligence of the daughters early demise.
The Baptist church was filled so that ex-
ira seats had to be brought in to accommo-
date the crowd last Sabbath evening. The
occasion was q temperance address by the
pastor, Rev. G. Z. Raymond. The address
was preliminary to series to be given
from time to time. 1t was illustrated by
charts and chemical experiments Mr.
Raymond stated that the evil principle
Of all strong drink is alcohol. Alcohol
is chemical compound which, under all
circumstances, obeys the laws of its nature
He illustrated the surety of chemical laws
by series of experiments, foretelling what
would take place each time. The principal
danger arising from alcohol in the human
system is because of its affinity for water,
by which it attacks the blood, the brain and
all the tissues of the body. The lecture was
listened to with closest attention to the close
