"We are frequently asked who is to
compile the Morgan Register and when
will it be published?' The interchangeable
Joseph Battell of Middlebury, VT, but
when the work will come from the prn-
ter we do not know. As the Morgans
are growing in favor quite rapidly and
Mr.. Battell is authority on the family,
we hope the work will soon appear"
- Western Sportsman.
We are at last in situation to give
definite answer to our friend of lndianap-
oils. who pays us the above compliment,
and to the many other inqurers. We
are nearing the end of what has proved
to be work of great magnitude, and
which we fully believe will be of value
to more than warrant the labor. thought
and expense of its preparation. We can
now promise that, if health does not fail
US. we will put the work in the hands of
the printer by the first of next October,
and will place it before the public early
next spring. We can receive pedigrees up
to a short time before the first of October,
but none for the first volume after that
time.

VERNON VISITED.

Last Saturday morning States Attorney
Hit went to Vernon. accompanied by JUS
tice Newton and Officers Starkey and Nc
Clure. On arrival there the officers seized
quantity of liquor of various kinds, about
II gallons in all, at the Vernon House, and
arrested Stephen Barrett on a complaint
for first offence of liquor selling, and his
son George for a second offence. The two
Barretts were taken before Mr.. Newton
when Stephen Barrett plead guilty to ten
first offences, and was fined 500 and costs,
amounting to $209.0l, which he paid. On
hearing in regard to the liquors seized
they were declared forfeited and were CON
demned and destroyed by the officers.
When George Barrett was arraigned he
plead not guilty and asked for time to secure
counsel, and his hearing was thereupon adj
jOurned to $3.50 p. NJ. Mr.. Newton and
Mr.. Hit retInned to BrattleborO, leaving
Mr. Starkey in charge of the prisoner, and
Mr.. Mcclure to summon witnesses. About
10 minutes before the arrival of the after
noon train with Justice and states attorney
on board, the younger Barrett asked per
mission of Mr.. Starkey to go into room
with his wife. This permission was grant
ed him, but when he was called for a few
minutes later he had DISAPPEARED, having
gone out through a window, and skipped
across the river into New Hampshire, his
friends evidently thinking that a fine joke
had been played on the officers. But the
tables were turned when the senior Barrett
was reiTested, this time on a complaint
for a second offence of liquor selling, and
was told that the suit would be pressed to
conviction unless the son was brought back
to take his trial. The hearing was adj
journed to Monday morning when the
young man appeared on the scene. He
plead guilty to one second offence and was
fined $50 and costs, amounting to $50. 80,
and was sentenced to 80 days in the house
of correction. He was committed, Mr..
Mcclure taking him to Rutland the same
night.
