The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-05-27


Mr.. Skinner sang delightfully."-, and Miss
Belle Botsford played several violin solos
with exquisite taste and refinement of style.
Mrs Thomas has been most hosptable this
winter, and this last gathering at her house
was as thoroughly enjoyed as those pre-
ceding it,"
G.. E. MOODY of Waterbury, in company
with delegation of members of the board
of trade, visited the vicinity of the slate
quarry on last week Friday, to examine the
site with view to engaging in bricl-mak-
ing there. Both the clay and the sand were
found to be tirst-cass, and Mr.. Moody ex-
pressed wish to undertake the business il
the land can be leased for ten years. The
land on which the sand is found is the prop
erty Of the Montpelier slate company while
the clay is on the estate of Mrs. Emily T.
Sabin. The desrabiity Of having a brick
yard in town is obvious 1t would unques-
tionably encourage building in brick. Mr..
Moody would probably employ about
twenty-five men If he should engage in the
business.
A BAD smash-up of carriages occurred at
Jewett's crossing Sunday afternoon. The
carriage of Frank Grout, in which were
himself, wife and child, ran into that of w.
f. Braman, who was riding with his wife.
! Mr. Grout's horses became unmanageable,
so that he was unable to turn into his yard
as he reached it. Attempting to pass Mr..
Braman's carriage, just as it reached the
crossing, he ran plump into it, and the occu-
/
! Mr.. Grout received a bad cut on the head,
and he is still in a critical condition. Both
! ladies received cuts on the face, but are not
seriously injured, nor is either Mr.. Braman
or Mr.. Grouts child The horse of Mr..
Braman ran down the railroad track quite
a distance, and Mr.. GrOut's team jumped
! the fence into the meadow and ran on,
going through two more fences before they
stopped. Mr.. Braman's carriage is wreck
and Mr. CIRCUITS is pretty well used up.
e
now of Sioux City, Ia, and Miss Maud E.
Whitney OF Montpelier, daughter of II. 7.
Whitney, took place Monday evening at the
Hollister homestead, North Montpelier, in
the presence of large number of friends,
including many from Montpelier and Barre.
Rev. G.. w. Gallagher performed the inter-
esting ceremony. Professor Hollister of
Goddard Seminary, brother of the groom,
was the latter's best man. and Miss Hattie
Goodwin of Barre was maid of honor. The
! house was handsomely decorated, princi-
paly with apple blossoms before a mass of
which the young couple stood during the
ceremony. Many beautiful and useful
presents were received-evidence of the re-
gard in which both are held by their numer-
| Gus friends. Mr. Hollister has responsible
position with the Farmers Loan and Trust
company at Sioux City, and for that place
he and his young wife started yesterday
morning. They will be at home after June l..
THE lecture by Rev. j. J. Lewis of Bos-
ton at the Church of the Messiah, last week
| Friday evening, was thoroughly enjoyed by
| the large audience present. 1t is seldom
that lecture gives such complete satsfac-
| tion as did this. Mr.. Lewis subject was
"The Passion Play of Oberamnergsu,
and by the aid of over one hundred very
fine stereOpticon views, many of which
were taken by himself, he succeeded in pre-
senting the leading features of the great
drama and the striking scenes of the beau
tiful mountain country of Bavaria so vividly
that to many they must have made last
ing impression. The view of Lake Starn-
berg was exceedingly beautiful, and the
faces of all the leading participants in the
play were in themselves expressive and in
the views of Mr.. Lewis were given with
wonderful clearness and effect. The lecture
was two hours in length, and it is safe to
say that no two hours were ever more
pleasantly passed. Mr.. Lewis spent all
last week in giving the lecture in different
towns in this vicinity, and he has been
fortunate in having large audiences in every
instance.
MEETING will be held at Capital hall
Friday evening at half-past seven o'clock to
consider the proposition to hold here grand
celebration of the Glorious Fourth. 1t is
now seven years since the capital has for
maly celebrated the nations birthday.
The matter of having celebration has year
by year been broached At this time the
scheme seems to awaken much enthusiasm
and we believe this community will take
hold Of the project with energy. Let us
have a good old-fashioned celebration, with
the reading of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, an Grafton and such accessories in
the way OF music games, amusements and
fireworks as shall make the affair popular
as well as appealing to patriotic and higher
sentiments of the people. When Montpe-
ier has celebration she always has good
one, and if she decides to celebrate this
year there will be no larger or better ordered
celebration in the state. The people, we
= trust, will attend the meeting Friday even
ing in goodly numbers, discuss the matter
fully, and if celebration is decided upon
+ put the management into thoroughly COM
petent hands.
