The "peoplr's ticket contained no can
didate for member of county board Of edu-
cation, and none for public library trustees
The number Of scattering votes was large
aud must have reached well towards 100
With two or three exceptions there was no
office for which one or more such votes was
not cast The highest number was 80 for
O. A Marshall for town treasurer, The
1850 votes cast for Mr. Newton for town
clerk and trustee of the public money un
douhtedly represented the total number Of
votes.
The fact that . votes had to be refused
during the day from men whose names
were not on the check list, hut which be
longed there. shows how careless individual
voters are about looking after such things

when the order of business was resumed
and the articles of the warrant taken up
in course.

grounds unless the railroad company, without
expense TO the town, shall promptly proyide an
other suitable highway In lieu of the one sp OBJ
stricted % the full satisfaction aud acceptance
of the selectmen
There was no article IN the warrant calling
for such action, aud it was stated that the
resolution was presented TO secure an ex-
preston for the guidance Of the selectmen

that the vote on the winning ticket for the
selectmen' as overseer Of the poor might
not he valid under the law, and the cleo
tion Of Col. Hooker As oyerseer was pro
posed, but the matter was dropped ON a sug
gestion from Col Haskns that if an over
seer had already been elected, as must be
the case, it would do no good TO elect anoth.

1t was voted under article / 10 build
sidewalk on the west side of Vernon street
| from Bridge street TO Hudson street Mr.
/ F. d. f. Stowe presented the motion in ia
yor Of this, aud supported it effectively,
when opposed, by saying that the people in
that vicinity had no way out except 10
wade in the mud, aud that it ought not 10
be counted against them because il happen
ed that they we're only tenants if il had
been residence section the walk would
have been built long ago.
The selectmen were instructed 10 make
sale Of one-half acre from the town farm
to enlarge the West Brattleboro cemetery,
and the chairman of the board was appoint

Under article l3, with regard to contnu-

nue. TO West Brattleboro and grading the
hill near the Centreville school house, it
was stated that if this work was all TO be
