AS will be seen by notice else
where, the burial of bodies placed in
the tomb here during the past winter

boys, young and old. at Music hall
on Tuesday night greatly disturbed

purpose.

pleased to note that some of our citi-
zens are taking more than usual

call any names, but beg to assure
these citizens that their attempts tC

The Rutland Herald states that
the cost of the Y. M. c. A. lecture
