huCilbnS HIS companions TODDeu MIN. Hence
his inability to pay S10.35 fine; hence, sub
sequently, his removal to Rutland by Of
ficer Hunt. Young on Monday had sue
ceeded in raising the wind, so escaped a
similar fate.
DR. OLIN W. DALEY, who has procured a
questionable notoriety by his treatment of
his wife, an excellent woman, obtained a
divorce October "a at Yankton, s. D., where
thriving divorce colony has grown up, on
the ground of desertionC). The object
apparently was to obtain his freedom, that
he might wed Miss May Gates, the wealth
lest woman in White River Junction as the
marriage Is TO Occur tomorrow at that place.
Mrs. Daley No. 2.elect is the daughter of
the late George w. Gates, from whom she
inherited between $4,000 and 100000.
The divorced wife has found welcome
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Orrin Daley, par
ents Of the doctor.
CORNELIUS p. CHANDLER, bookkeeper at
the clothes-pin factory, fell in the darkness
from the platform In front of the works Mon
day evening, at about half-past six o'clock.
The distance is some three feet, and below Is
the track OF Central railway siding. His
head struck upon the rail, near the back rem
dering him senseless. M. p. Kent who was
with him, went to his assistance, and he
was taken into the office of the company,
where he soon recovered consciousness. He
was evidently seriously injured. He was
removed to the house of his nephew, DIR. G.
E. Chandler. In the morning he was suffer-
ing from severe headache, but later was
reported to be in a comfortable condition.
THE New England Grocer of October 30
contains fiattering notice of the wedding
of Forrest Ellsworth Benjamin, a popular
commercial traveller for the well-known
Wholesale grocery house of Thomas Dana
x Co., Boston, the bride being Miss Mabel
Grant, daughter of Charles Knapp of NAL
den, Mass. The wedding was in the Con-
gregational church at that place, and in re-
sponse to the 1000 invitations sent out
guests gathered from Vermont and New
Hampshire, and many of the towns and
cities surrounding Maiden. The bride was
dressed in beautiful gown of heavy white
corded silk, the floral decorations were pro-
fuse and the entire wedding was elaborate
to degree. Many and valuable were the
gifts. Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin are now =" at
home" on Mountain avenue, Maiden.
THE first sociable of the season was held
at the Unitarian vestry, last Thursday even
ing, and attracted such a number of patrons
that the refreshment bureau was severely
taxed. More than forty dollars was netted.
Supper was served from five until seven
o'clock-a supper such as the ladies of that
parish know so well how to prepare. After
supper there was concert exercise that
was much enjoyed by those present. The
character of Father Time was assumed by
j. Eli Goodenough Summer Mrs. Harlow
M. Smith; April, Cora Johonnott; May,
Edith Blanchard; March, Matte Demertt;
June, Julia Peck; July, Bessie Pitkin;
August, Mabele Tanner; September, Hat
tie Peck; Winter. Addie Phillips; October,
eight little ones, the boys carrying pumpkin
lanterns and the girls dressed in white,
with appropriate trimming.
ABOUT every seat was taken for the Emer-
son concert in Blanchard opera-house, last
Friday evening, and Montpelier has been
afforded few entertainments the merits of
which have been more thoroughly discussed.
| The violin playing of Miss Bertha Webb
was excellent, and she received merited en-
cores; little can be said for the contralto
singing of Miss Babcock. The recitations
and acting of Miss Fowler varied from the
fairly good to the Indifferent, while Mr..
Shonert the pianist, was handicapped by
wood-box, called by courtesy piano. He
| is good pianist, however, and displayed
considerable execution and technique in the
"Octave study" by Czerny. Mr.. Emerson
at home, by those who know him best is
considered cornetist of only ordinary abil-
| ity. His performance here was distin-
| guished chiefly for noisy execution, though
he was always encored and was thrice re-
called on his last number on The programme.
A PASSENGER on the accommodation train
from the south, on Monday, arrived in due
time at the Junction, and the train was run
on to the to allow the mail train-then
Stdnding at the platform at the Junction
stdtion-to pass. The passenger, knowing
the delays of that fatal place, took his grip
and started on foot for the village-a dis

| rived, by easy walking, two minutes ahead
OF the branch train. There's enterprise for
you-individual and corporate. But the
delays at the Junction are not all on the
mail train. Passengers on the accommoda-
ton from the north are subjected to even
| greater and more vexatious delay. A car
load of hungry and impatient travellers on
| that train, one night last week, were
shunted back and forth on the for fifteen
minutes, to enable the train officials to get

And to this or similar nuisances travellers
on that train are almost daily subjected.
HAVE you ever noticed" inquired a
boarder at one of Montpeler's hotels, as he
sweetened his coffee and looked around in
! quiringy at his fellow boarders, =" have
you ever noticed what an even temper and
imperturbable manner our table girl
possesses. | don't think anything would
rattle her." You don't, eh?" replied
Pendennis. " Bet'cher cigars we can rattle
her," All hands were attention while PEN
dennis unfolded his plan. The following
noon the assistant state librarian was the
first in at dinner. He chewed tooth pick,
looked the bill of fare over, and ordered
coffee and fruit. Anything else?" in
CURED the table girl, after he had regaled
himself. "Yes; turkey, vegetables etc.,
etc. Genevieve raised her eyebrows in mild
astonishment, which deepened when Clark
and Severance dropped in and ordered pie
and cheese. About the time all hands had
gone through the bill of fare backward, and
were ordering soup, Genevieve began to
grow wrathy, and when Harvey put in an
appearance and meekly ordered pie, he
"got it in the neck" He argued, but his
arguments were voted down, and he finally
concluded to waive his exceptions and take
his soup first. The cigars were on the
gentleman who moralized on the evenness
of womans temper.
THE eclipse of the moon on Sunday even
ing occurred under peculiarly favorable con-
ditions for observation at this place. The
air was of crystal clearness and the moon
was round and full against brilliant sky.
At about half-past five it entered the shadow
of the earth. The progress of the eclipse
had many intensely interested observers.
At about twenty minutes Of seven the moon
had passed completely behind the earth,
but in the reflected light thrown upon the
satellite its outlines were visible and the
glass disclosed rich colorings of orange and
gold among the somber tracery of lunar seas
and mountains. AT about half-pas eight
the lower edge of the disk began to brighten
