WARDSBORO.

G. Hubbard is the owner of fine
large cat owl measuring l-2 feet
from tip to tip.
Ed. Bissell and wife from Brattle-
boro were in town last week. They
came to attend the Old Folks Con-
cert which came off last Thursday
evening. And it was well worth
coming that far to hear and see. The
music, both instrumental and vocal,
was fine and the costumes could not
fail to remind the oldest of Ye Old
en- Times" Uncle Brigham Read,
as he is most commonly called, the
oldest man in town, took part in a
quartet, and it would take an extra
singer to beat him, yet. The only
drawback was the weather, many
were hindered from coming from g
distance on account of it, asst was,
they took $40. But never mind, the
Concert will be repeated the week af-
ter Thanksgiving. There will be
new songs on the programme, and il
has been limited that there may possi'
bly, be supper, or at least cake ant
coffee served in the vestry. Further
notice will appear later.

"For he who blesses most is blest,
And God and man shalt own his worth,
Who tolls to leave at his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And soon Or late to all that sow,
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flowers shall bloom the fruit shall grow
If not on earth, at last in heaven"
Ice-cream and cake were serve'

Grand Jury Investigations.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-If the grand jury
obtained any valuable information regard
ing the Cronin case, it did not become
known. Lawler Hardy, who conducted
the cross examination when Alexander
Sullivan by a ruse was investigating
Cronin's record before a iusti,e of the
peace several years ago, and Stenographer
Williston who took down what Cronin
said at that time, were among the wit,
nesses.
The dentist wh5 identified the corpse
found in the sewer as that of Cronin, was
recalled and reiterated his testimony.
Adjournment was taken tonight without
the return Of any indictments.
Tonight, for the first time since bis ar
rest Tuesday night, John F. Beggs was
allowed to be seen by representatives of
the press. He was plumply asked if he
had ''squealed;" he replied he had not,
because he had nothing to tell. He pro-
tested in strong language against the
action Of the police in locking HIM up, as
they did, without giving the slightest ex
cuse for his detention. He said lie was
arrested as he was entering his " door
and that the officer refused even to allow
him to notify his wife.

Bolton was released this evening the
police having satisfied themselves of his
innocence. Frederick Buehrie, uncle OF
the dead girl, claims to believe that a GER

girl before leaving the house of her sister,
burned all her letters aud told her sister
in case she did not return, to divide her
effects among the family. The police are
now proceeding on the belief that the
murderer was employed to do the job or
that he was engaged to arrange the
criminal operation on her. A dispatch
from Jefferson City says the man whom
the uncle thinks was the girls betrayer,
protests his innocence and promises to
make things warm for his accusers.
