There was insurance on buildings

The merchants are doing good
business this week, and the streets
have been full of purchasers of holi-
day gifts. Judicious advertising,
pretty window decora ton, and the
keeping on hand of a great variety
of articles especially adapted to the
holiday trade will always conduce
to a rush of business. The lack of
good sleighing has possibly interfered
slightly with that part of the trade
which generally gets an early start,
but the aggregate results of what
may be termed "holiday week" are
not materially affected by the alb
sence of sleighing, especially when
travelling on wheels is as good as it
has been for several weeks past.

COUNTY COURT.

The Dunnett-Carpenter case was
finished on Saturday night, when
the jury, after having come in and
been sent back two or three times, re-
turned with the statement that they
could not agree. Thus ends the third
trial of this getting-to-be celebrated
case-once in a justice court and twice
in county court. A number of wit
nesses on both sides were examined,
but the matter seems no nearer a
settlement by jury than when first
tried.
The assault case of Roach VS. Cald-
beck, involving claim of $4,000,
was next taken up and is now en-
gaging the attention of the court.

OUR NEWPOSTMASTER.

The Vermont congressional delega-
ton in congress voted unanimously
last week to recommend w. w.
Sprague for postmaster to succeed the
present incumbent at the expiration
of his term in January. The other
candidates for the position were ].
A. Paddock, letter carrier, and Albert
w. Simpson, route agent, both well
known citizens of this town. All
three were strong candidates and
had influential hackers.
Mr. Sprague came here from Boston
Is years ago and for five years was
member of the dry goods firm of T..
c. Fletcher & Co. For the last 10
years he has been in the store of E. &
T. Fairbanks & Co. He is an active
Grand Army man, having been past
commander of Chamberlin post, dele
gate to the g. A. R. national conven-
tion and Inspector of the department
of Vermont. He enlisted in the Thlr-
teenth Massachusetts, regiment, serv-
ing three years in the army. He was
captured by the confederates and
confined in Belle Isle prison at Rich
mond for nine months. He is a trus-
tee of Caledonia lodge, 1. o. o. F.,
and also a member of Moose River
Encampment and Canton Crescent
No. 1, and the Colonial and Mystic
clubs.
Mr.. Sprague was one of the first
candidates in the field and his paper
contained about $50 names, among
which were many of the leading bus
iness firms and the large patrons of
the office. His appointment has not
yet been made by the president, so
Mr.. Sprague does not know when he
will enter upon the duties of his of
fee. His appointment has been well
received in town and we believe he
will make an excellent postmaster.
