EAST CANAAN.

Mir John G. Lawrence died at his residence Wednesday morning May 13 He was 8l years old and has been fail ing gradually for more than year. He was born in this town and until within birth. Perhaps there is not man liv- For more than fifty years he had been 8 regular attendant at church, and he has been in his day one of the well-to-do farmers of this town. Many readers of THE NEWS in distant parts of the coun- try, will remember him. His funeral was attended at his late residence on Sunday at 2 o'clock, Rev Utterick off, ciating. Mir Utterick spoke tenderly to the friends of the deceased; of his long life with his children and grand children and of the beauty and grandeur of such long life we'll spent Mir Lawrence leaves one daughter. Mrs John Beebe, and one son, Edward Lawrence. The son residing in Alabama, was not able to reach here in time to attend the burial.
 Leonard Lawrence is on his bed suf- fering from broken hip, the.result of fall in his harm last week. He is we think the oldest man in town, being 89 years of age. It is hardly probable that he will ever recover from this in- jury, on account of his extreme age, though he has the pluck of hero.
 MT R c. Ware presided at the organ Sunday in his usual good style.
 Edward Rose started Monday morn ing for Geneva, N. Y., his former home.
 Mrs Utterick has had slight attack of Ia grippe. Miss Utterick has been suffering with cold since her arrival here but was able to attend church Sunday. .... Mrs J. H. Lane, of New Baltimore, N.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

The game between the Newports
and the st. Johnsburys on the cam
pus last Thursday was the most one
sided game seen here for many dav.
The Newports played an almost
faultless game, while the home team
made no runs and 20 errors. The
Newports made % with a total of
% hits, and the home team with a
total of Z hits. The final score was
21 to Q, the Newports making
six runs in the fourth inning and
seven in the last.
The game between the St. Johns
bury and the boys from Dartmouth
on Saturday last was as pretty
a game as has been seen this
year on our grounds. The home
team, reinforced by the Clayton
brothers from the Academy nine,
played a very strong game, and
shut out the visitors every inning
Our nine was frequently applauded
by the spectators, who were delight
ed to see the boys play BALI once
more. The score:

SWANTONS FIRE.

The blaze at Swanton last Thurs
day morning, of which the GALE
DOMAIN made early mention, entailed
loss of nearly $4,000, a part of
which of course is covered by insur-
ance. The destruction of Prouty's
dressing mill was the worst feature of
the fire, as a large amount of stock fin
ished and ready for usei in the erection
of dwellings was burned. A tempo
rary highway bridge is already ION
duty" work on the same being begun
Friday and finished Monday after
noon. An iron bridge will doubtless
be put in as soon as the town can
take action. The destruction of sew
eral other buildings in the vicinity of
the bridge was prevented only by
hard work on the part of the fire
men.

WHAT IT MEANT.

The vote at our special village
meeting clearly demonstrated that
our citizens did not care to interfere
in a fight between one of it's citizens
and corporation. There is hardly
a citizen of St. Johnsbury that does
not believe that Eastern avenue is
too narrow, but the majority of our
citizens believe that the trustees
simply did their duty, and by their
vote sustained the trustees. DR..
Bullard lost his case when he at
tempted to destroy the poles and
began his abusive attacks upon the
trustees. The CALEDoNIAN has long
contended that all wires should be
underground but fears the time is far
distant when this will be accomplish
ed. The CALEDoNIAN has been pretty
freely criticised because it didn't
take sides in the matter, but has no
regrets. 1t gave both sides of the
matter impartially; it gave the
people the news and that is what the
people want.

CLARK ACQUITTED.

Lyman G. Clark, on trial for few
days past at Woodstock, charged
with the murder of his nother-in-
law, Mrs Marston of White River
Junction, was acquitted on Saturday
morning, the jury being out only
about an hour. The evidence at first
seemed to point towards Clark as
the perpetrator of the crime, but as
the testimony progressed it failed to
connect him with the murder. The
verdict of mot guilty" was received
with applause. Chief Justice Ross
presided over the court, and Hon.
Henry Ballard of Burlington ap-
peared for the prisoner.
