THE ball-game between the Northfeld
and Montpelier High-school mines, on the
Seminary grounds, last Thursday, was a
close and exciting game from beginning to
end. At the end of the ninth inning the
score stood five to FIVE. In the first half of
the tenth inning the Montpelier boys got
score, and won the game. The feature of
the game was the fine pitching on both
sides. M. Standish struck out thirteen
| men.
The following resolution was adopted by
the Vermont Press Association at its recent
annual meeting: " Resolyed, That in the
death of Hon. E. P. Walton, who has passed
! from earth since our last annual meeting,
| this association has lost one of its founders,
our craft an experienced and valued men,
Der, and our state worthy, patriotic and
4 useful citizen. Having honored him in life,
we will continue to hold him in honored re-
membrance."
THAT the driver of the daily express, and
possibly other teamsters between this viii
lage and Barre are abettors of the saloons
is currently reported and possibly true.
These violators of law transport liquors
clandestinely from dealers in this village,
and deliver to kitchen saloons or private
residences in Barre. Good citizens of both
| villages should remember that Gin union
there is strength" and should combine to
stop this trade.
HERE is an item from the Lotdlo1o Tribune
which needs no comment: "The liquor
raid on the dealers in Montpelier will have
a tendency to delay the special session of
the legislature, unless il holds fire long
enough to allow said dealers to replenish
their stock before August closes. A session
of the legislature during a dry season at the
capital would be without precedent, and
good many of our Solons would hardly
care to make so great sacrifice"
A MAN from Barre who had been indulg-
ing in too much fire-water" attempted to
cross the Wells River railroad bridge over
Worcester branch, last Saturday night, but
missed his footing and fell to the ground, a
distance of ten or twelve feet. His head
and neck were badly cut and bruised on
the rocks and the glass scattered about.
He was conducted to DR.. G. E. Chandler,
who dressed his wounds. The fall and the
doctors cordials somewhat revived the
man, and he went his way.

ering the purchase of a Cottrell pony print
ing-press, and Mr.. Batchelder was here to

ton at once, and Mr.. Baker scored another
order for the Pony"
AN exchange says: An artist from New
York is engaged in painting a portrait of
Senator ]: S. Morrill, at his home in Straf-
ford" The artist is Mr.. T. w. Wood of
Montpelier who has winter studio in
New York, but spends his summers here.
He was recently a week at Senator Nor
rill's home at Strafford for the purpose of
reproducing the statesman. Vermonts dis
tingushed senator will be put on canvas
by Vermont's distinguished painter, both
fine products of the Green Mountain state,
and each peerless in his vocation.
A CORRESPONDENT asks us to state that
certain persons drove to Barre and back
Monday afternoon with horse fifty years
old. AS the statement of the animals age
is not accompanied by an affidavit, we do
noJ 1891 ike guaranteeing tnlS Item IN this
particular. II the horse is fifty years old,
he has lived many years beyond the gen.
erally-accepted maximum of horse longevity,
and should long ago have been put on the
retired list, spending the hot summer days
in pastures green, instead of toiling over
the dusty highways. Will the correspond
ent furnish us with further particulars?

Frank Kelley after getting crazy drunk,
entered William Miller's saloon, after ten
o'clock Saturday night, and asked for some-
thing to drink Mr.. Miller refused to ac-
commodate him, and Kelley said he should
have the drink, and began riotous demon
strations, whereupon Miller put him out-of-
doors. This Kelley highlyresented, and, go

nine bricks from the sidewalk opposite
Bethany church. One Of these he dropped,
two were put in his hip-pockets, and one be-
meath his vest; four he carried on his arm,
and one in his hand. Thus equipped for
war, he returned to Millers. AS Kelley
crossed the street he was noticed by G. Def
Bancroft, who had already heard OF the
ejectment Kelley made straight for Mil
ler's, and when quite near let fly the brick
in his right hand. 1t crashed through the
