Some miscreant made an effort to
break into the Newell residence last
Saturday night but was frightened away
by the bravery of Mrs. Leroy Marley,
who has been residing there with her
children since the death of her husband.
The Rev. Mr.. Flanders, who was rec
tor of the Zion Episcopal Church in this
place two years ago, has been obliged
on account of poor health to give up his
charge at Montpelier, and has moved
back into the rectOry here which was
unoccuDied.

The ladies of the w. r. C.. will remem-
Der that there will be flowers to arrange
for Memorial Day, and a meeting for
this purpose will be held at G. A. r.
Hall Saturday afternoon. All ladies in
terested in the welfare of the inner man
are kindly INVITED to prepare eatables of
any kind for Memorial Day dinner. A
team will call for the same Monday a. m.
Many of our people are giving atten-
ton these days to their yards and sur
roundings but there is much more which
might be done to improve the appear
ance of our village. Within the course
of two or three weeks Manchester will be
visited by large number of strangers
from all over the State who will carry
away with them as life long memory of
the place whatever appearance 1T may
have just at the present time. Will not
every person, both old and young help
to make 1T an especially attractive one.
And in this connection we would like to
ask if some of our boys of all ages can
not become better impressed with the
fact that the streets are not the proper
repositories for waste paper, old
envelopes, orange skins, etc. Here is
an opportunity for our Village Improve
ment Society to try and exert an in
fluence.
The Grand Chapter of Vermont, Order
Eastern Star, will meet with AdOniram
Chapter, No. %, on Wednesday and
Thursday, June Sth and 9th, beginning
at 10 o'clock, a. m, the first day.
Wednesday evening the work" will be
exemplified by Adoniram Chapter, which
is the one the Grand Matron, Mrs. Janet
p. Blackmer, belongs to, and much
interest in this exercise is already man
ifested. The great bulk of the Grand
Chapter members will arrive at 1912
o'clock midnight of Tuesday, the
sleeping train being the only direct
connection from the North with the
Boston & Maine system. Some of the
delegates will arrive at 4.43 o'clock p.
m, Tuesday, and those from BenDing-
ton way on wednesday morning at zoos
o'clock. The return trip is made much
more handily, and it is probable that the
Grand Chapter will close in time to de-
part by the afternoon trains, Thursday.
The Manchester people will give their
visitors banquet at some convenient
hour during the annual convocation.
! which is the nineteenth Of this Body.
