One of the idiosyncrasies ofjournal-
ism is seen in the attitude of two
state papers on the governor ques-
ton, the Barre Enterprise and the
West Randolph Herald and News.
Both are owned and controlled by
the same man and yet the former is
supporting Col. Woodbury. and the
latter Mr.. Page. The Montpelier

The Subscription List of the North Star
Bought by the CaIedOnian.
Notice appears elsewhere of the
suspension of the publication of the
Danville North Star It's subscrip-
ton list has been bought by the pub
fishers of the Caledonian, and all
whose names were on the Stars list
on March % will receive the Gale
DOMAIN today instead. All subscrib-
ers who have paid for the Star in
advance will receive this paper free
until their several terms expire. II
any are so fortunate as to take the
Caledonian now their advance sub
scriptiOn will be credited to their &C
count with this paper All North
Star subscribers who are in arrears
for their paper must settle with a. b.
Hoyt, the recent publisher of that
paper But the Caledonian will be
sent free to all these for awhile with
the hope that they will become so
attached to it as to want it as q
regular visitor 80 times a year.
Extra pains will be taken to give all
the news in the field previously Occu-
pied by the Star, and with Il largely
increased list and more friends the
publishers hope to keep the Gale
