The poisoned air from those nuisances was

cases of this dreaded disease now in town.

Z. II. BAscoM has received word from
Andrew II. Patton, assistant secretary of
the Northwestern Land and Coal Company
(who is also business manager of the Boston
TrdceUer) that " a meeting of the stock
holders was held in Portland, Maine, and
full report was given and adopted unani-
mously. One and one-half shares OF stock
in another company was accepted in pay
ment of each share held in the Northwest
ern Land and Coal Company. Everything is
o. X, legally and otherwise, and no one WW
lose cent" Mr.. BascOm suggests to stock
holders that they correspond with Mr..
Patton in regard to this transfer of stock.
IT will be remembered that f. S. Bald
win, as manager of the Montpelier ball
team last year, was swindled out of some
$50 by the ball team of Burlington Uni
versity, which refused to keep its word re-
garding a guaranty. Mr.. Baldwin pitched
| in the first game between the Brattleboros
and the Burlington team at Burlington last
week, and he doubtless felt good deal of
| grim satisfaction in shutting out his OPP
ponents with the score at two to nothing.
| But one base hit was made off Mr.. Baldwin,
and that was rather scratchy. Its long
| lane that does not turn somewhere. We
venture to say that Mr.. Baldwin had more
than $50 worth of fun out of that game.
Mr.. AND Mrs. S. II. o. BoswoRTH re-
ceived their friends, to the number of
towards one hundred fifty, at their new
| home on Loomis street, last evening, and
an exceedingly pleasant occasion it proved
to be. Although few were aware of the
| fact until last evening it was the forty
third anniversary of the marriage of the
worthy couple, and congratulations were
many and sincere. Another interesting
fact was the presence of Mrs. Bosworth' s
uncle, Mr.. j. w. Ellis, and wife, who were
also present at the marriage, forty-three
years ago. The house was beautifed with
a great variety of flowers among which
golden rod, marigods and sweet peas were
prominent. Refreshments were served
during the evening The reception was Of
| the nature of a house-warming, as it was
the first time that a large number of the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Bosworth had met
under their new roof. The handsome and
convenient residence was the subject of
numerous compliments.

The atheletic spirit of the Seminary is, as
usual, ever on the alert, and the field-day
sports at Barre on Saturday last brought
this spirit into action. Ten of the boys en-
| ltreu anu came nome tne rlCner by 80,

second prizes had been offered in all the
events. The past year has proven that the
Seminary is able to excel ia athletic sports
as well as in scholarship.
THE students enjoyed pleasant evening
in the Seminary chapel Saturday evening.
An interesting literary and musical pro-
gramme was rendered. Professor Bishop
gave a short address, and, with the
essay by Professor Axtel, readings by
Miss Howe and an organ solo by Mr.

joyed. We believe we voice the sentiment
of all in hoping these pleasant Saturday
