COURT HOUSE CHANGES.

The commissioners have not fully
decided upon the changes at the
court house but there seems to be lit
tie doubt but what Architect Pack
ards plan will be adopted. His plan
cOntemplates an exchange of Offices
of the judge of probate and county
clerk and the removal of the stairs
on the right hand side as one enters
the building. The probate rooms
will consist of large room about
Il by 20 feet, a consulting room II
by 10 feet, and vault with an in
side measurement of 8 by 10 feet.
Opposite these rooms will be the Of
fees of the county clerk, probably
two with sliding doors between. If
two rooms are made their dimen-
sions will be II by Is feet and 12 by
Is feet. Opening out of these rooms
a large vault, Is by 10 feet, will be
built on to the east side of the pres
ent building. 1t is needless to add
that these vaults will be larger than
the old ones and fire proof. BY tax
ing out the stairs space will be fur
nished on the second floor for
small consulting room in the north
west corner of the building. The
commissioners believe all the Chin
neys are faulty and will rebuild them
and put on a slate roof. These
changes together with the necessary
interior painting will probably use
up nearly all of the appropriation of
$4,000. Work on the outside vault
will be commenced very soon but the
interior changes will not be made un-
til after the June term of court.

SOME RECENT DEATHS.

Miss Mary Smith, for more than
twenty years cook in the household
of Col. Franklin Fairbanks, died sud
denly on Saturday, April 6, after a
few hours illness of heart disease.
The subject of this notice lived quiet
life in rather a narrow sphere, but
she lived it well, being faithful in that
which was least. She was born in
Ireland and when she came to this
country some thirty years ago, she
left a brother there, but for many
years she had not known that she
had a relative in the world. In 1872
she united with the North Congre-
gational church on the confession of
her faith and ever lived an exemplary
life. Her death was sudden, but
peaceful and comparatively painless
The family she had served so long
and so faithfully were in the South
when they received the news of her
death, but on their way home.
William Watson died at Titusville,
Pa, April 6, at the age of 80 years.
Forty years ago Mr.. Watson was
proprietor of a hotel at Barton, then
at Lyndon Corner, and afterwards
for a number of years the owner and
keeper of the St. Johnsbury house.
Very many who read these lines will
remember this quiet, dignifed, gen
tlemanly hotel keeper, who won the
respect and esteem not only of his
patrons but of every one who knew
him. 1t is no disparagementt to those
men who have followed him to say
that the St. Johnsbury house was
never conducted more satisfactorily
than by Mr. and Mrs. Watson, with
''Uncle Jonathan" Ca brother) as
right hand man. Mrs. Watson died
only seven weeks before her husband
They had lived in Titusvil1e nearly
20 years.
Helen and Mary Hurley were call
ed to Canada some three or four
weeks ago by the death of sister,
and on Tuesday of this week they
were notified that another sister,
Rosa, is dead. The latter sister died
at Colebrook, although she had for
merly lived in this place All three
sisters are we'll known here, one be
ing domestic in the family of L. c.
Woodbury. and the other in the fami-
lv of Mrs. Horace Fairbanks.

Belgium's Hat'ess Monarch.

Leopold, King of the Belgians, is q
sworn foe of tobacco and an ardent
supporter of the Belgian Anti-tobacco
League. He is, as well, man of
Simple and severe way of life" He
rises early, breakfasts sparingly, and
"A rare thing on the Continent-takes
his morning tub with all an English
mans fervor His wide sympathies
embrace vegetarianism in their scope,
and his most notable passion, perhaps,
is for going about without hat.
Whenever the weather is suitable,
King Leopold goes abroad IN his gar
den as hatless as Adam, eXulting in
his freedom from the conventionality
of head-piece. He has some strange
craze about the winds action on the
brain, and he puts his craze in practice
whenever possible. In fact, eccen-
tricity of the intelligent kind marked
him for her own. He is hnguist OF
rare acquisitions, and is always deep
in the study of some new language or
other Music Is one of his aversions,
but the sister art of painting finds IN
him an appreciative and enthusiastic
amateur. His face Is strong and intel
igent, without being handsome, and a

enough to erect monum ents at Gettysburg
over the graves of the brave men against
whom the Union soldiers fought" and
urged that such action be taken as soon
as possible. The resolution was greeted
with applause and was referred to the
committee along with the others.
At the evening session Russell A.
Alger was elected Commander-i in chief
Of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The meeting was secret one. and it
lasted from $3.50 o'clock until nearly mid
night. Gen. Alger was put in nominal
ton az Postmaster Sexton, of Chicago.
Fully twenty speeches we're made by men
who favored the man who was disap-
pointed at Chicago last year. They
came from all sections of the
country, among them being Gen.

Corporal Tanner, of New York. Gen.
VeSzey, of Vermont, was placed in NOM

More speeches were made for Gen.
Alger, and it soon became apparent that
the Michigan man had walk-away.
Gen. VeaZey then withdrew, az did Con-

reclamation. He was brought into the
hall and received with rousing cheers.
He spoke; so did Corporal Tanner.

Major Warner, The commander-in chief.
Ransom post of st. Louis, to which Gen.
Sherman belonged, had an ovation during
the evening.
There was genuine pathos in the parade
of the Grand Army OF the Republic Tues.
day. In that long line which swept down
the broad thoroughfare-so appropriately
called Grand ayenue-there were presented
many pictures which recalled the most
stirring days in the history Of this great
republic. The parade was smaller than it
was at either St. Louis or Columbus, and
the crowds that watched it pass were
larger. There were in the parade about
eighte IN thousand nen; but along The line
of march were almost as many more men
who wore the Grand Army button, but
