years old, one a white and the other a
golden sorrel, to DR.. f. G.. Freeman of
Brockton, Mass, for $1,000, the figure at
which he has held them. One of the

bert, and the other by Addison Lambert,
son of Daniel Lambert.
The grade-raising committee appointed
night before last at the village meeting |
began its work yesterday. DR.. Sheldon's |
case was the first one taken up and an
offer, understood to be of 800, was made
him for raising his building, which needs
to go up Is inches or thereabouts. He
had not accepted at last accounts.

The buildings in course of erectionget
on qHte rapidly. The roof is on he
BatAl block and the staging has been
removed from the back side, while the
front is nearly finished. The laying of
the stone on the Methodist church has
begun. The material is red sandstone,
from the Willard quarry in Burlington A;
it is handsome and very durable stone.
but not so much used as it would be were
it not so hard and difficult to work. The
hose house on the south park is COM
pleted and the Volunteers have taken up
their quarters in it,
Middlebury furnished something more
than a score of veterans to the national
encampment of the Grand Army in
Washington. A number went last
week, but the larger portion took the
special train which passed through here
between 9 and 10 o'clock Sunday fore
were DR.. and Mrs. Russell and their
daughter, Miss Charlotte, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w. Martin and Messrs. f. Kendall
John B. Hayes, Frank Bushey, Frank
Piper, VIM. Ellis, Lewis c. Bell and
; George B. Grosvenor of Middlebury and
C. L. Cook of Ripton.
Hon. James Simmons of Lake Geneva
Wis, former Middlebury man, takes
exceptions to our statement that DR.
Sheldon came nearer being sent as rep
resentative from the town of Middle
bury than any Democrat that eve
lived. He recalls that Harry Goodrich
Democrat, did represent Middlebur,
some 80 or 40 years ago, when, he thinks
the voting continued for two days ant
into the second night. Mr.. Simmon
adds: st seems absurd to western mai
:, that your people should still insist upon
majority vote to elect"
Two well-known residents of the vii
lage, each of whom had been to Mont
- pelier thousand times or less, set on
p for the capital on the forenoon train las
Saturday. On reaching Essex Junctio
u one of them made break for a tra
/ standing in the station, informing hi
i companion that it certainly was tn
right one. They took seats in the dir
IS ing car, intending to dine on the wa
r. down and so save time. Accordingl
n they ordered dinner, but when the col
ductor came around he informed thel
n that they had struck, instead of tn
N Montpelier train, the flyer for New Yor
e by way of Rutland. The pair according
ly arrived home at II so. An amusin
a feature of the thing is that just befor
q reaching the Junction that morning on
r of them had read to the other from tn
w Free Press of the sorrows of a drumme
who on the previous day had boarde
i the wrong train and brought up in Bul
lington, while he wanted to 60 to Nortl
firld.
