DEPUTY SHERIFF ID. w. DUDLEY was re-
moved yesterday from East Montpelier TO
his home, and the ride apparently did not
affect him. He is doing well, and it is
hoped that he will recover still more rap
idly now that he is at home. Both Mrs.
Dudley and Mrs. Emery are feeling better
than they did week ago.

master on the Wells River railroad, having
charge of the Montpelier yard as well as
performing other duties. Mr.. Morse has

deserved recognition of faithful service

with high honors, with the class at Norris

! Union school.

board of trade appointed to confer with the
officers of the Montpelier Slate Company,
with a view to working the quarry again,
| has been in Massachusetts the past week,
| looking mp some of the details of the busi-

that the birthday of Hon. e. ? Jewett
would come on last Sunday was incorrect.

takes in giving news, but in this case regret
is changed to pleasure at the opportunity
for again congratuating our venerable fell
low-citizen. The actual date of the ami
versary is June D.
Miss myrtle BEACH, daughter of Tbeo-
dore Beach, died Monday night after an i'll
ness of little over week of typhoid
pneumonia. She was about eighteen years
of age. The funeral will take place this

time, another daughter, Mrs. Fred Hall,

JAMES d. MCMAHON of Barre was arrested
Saturday afternoon while drunk. He was
taken from freight car, in which he had
ensconced himself, and thence was escorted
to the Jail. His fine, with COSTS was S10.51.
He disclosed on Richard Celley, who keeps
a curbstone saloon. Celley got wind of the
fact that he was wanted, and made tracks
for the woods on the Berlin side. He is
there still, so far as is known, and if he
would take up his permanent residence
there the village would be none the worse off.
THE sermon to the Grand Army post, the
Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons of Vet
Grams will be delivered next Sunday morn
ing at Trinity church by Rev. A. j. Hough.
The three organizations will attend in
body, and the public also is invited. Ar
rangements for Memorial day are progress
ing, and the exercises will undoubtedly be
fully as interesting as in former years. Col
, one T. o. Seaver of Woodstock is to be the
orator, and Rev. j. Edward Wright will be
, chaplain. The procession promises to be
imposing.
, THE tailor shop of s. c. Woolson was
burglarized last week Monday night, and
goods to the value of between $50 and $50
were taken. The goods consisted of cloth,
vestings and pair OF gloves. Entrance
was effected by cutting hole in the rear
I door sufficiently large to project knife or
other article through and raise the bar on
the inside of the door. 1t was evidently
the work of some one who was perfectly
: familiar with the premises, and suspicion
points strongly to former employe,
although there is not evidence enough to
= warrant legal action.

the order of Good Templars, was instituted
at Good Templars' hall last week Friday

! many years, and she had visited Montpelier

The Springfield Republican says: "The
e National Academy of Design has chosen
n Thomas Waterman Wood as president to
a succeed Daniel Huntington, and has done
q well. Mr.. Wood is one of the elder school
of painters, but he is entirely catholic in
,, his views of art, regarding its field as so
II broad that it is free to all who have any,
- :, thing to say IN color, whatever method
:, they choose in saying it, short of absolute
" ugliness-which is not in a true sense art.
lie is a figure painter and colorist and
e one OF the best portrait painters in the me-
y tropolis, and has been for many years vice.
= president of the academy, as he was long
l. president of the water color society"
