tunes, The weather has been warm
and quiet spring like of late, The
beautiful has disappeared, the roads are
dusty in good part birds ofpassage are
plenty and sugaring appears to be over
with a short crop,
No indications as yet of spring ex-
animation for teachers in our county,
Mrs. Bradford Edgerton is about
moving to Rutland,
Two lady strangers are among us,
Have come it is said to pass the sum
mer, Why notY When people step
from the cars they are here. We have
mountains that top out apparently in
the vicinity of the silvery moon and
wales stretching in pensive quiemess
between" The atmosphere is pure
and bracing. The microbes of disease
don't hatch in it. The brooks babble
down towards the Atlantic loquaciously.
The springs are choke full of minerals
and their waters ought to be bottled
and circled around the earth for the
healing of the nations. mosquitoes
don't bother and nobody says, ''shoo
fly" Skeletons get fat and obesity
gets lean for lack of imbibatories. We
have no Goldfish or standing collar arts
tocracy. Nobody "turns up his nose
at poorer people in palmer clothes and
"upstart wealth's averted eye" is
nonresident.
Thomas Dunn was off for Chicago
on Tuesday to join his brother Daniel
who has a job in the "windy city"
They expect to remain till the great
centennial arrives.
Our Gardner F. Griffith has been
granted a pension of So a month.
Michael Canary is indoors, sick.
The Worlds Wonder" the ed
son Imp roved Photograph" was here
Monday evening. 1t talked, laughed,
sang and reproduced selections from
Gilmore's Band and popular songs Of
the day. 1t was we'll worth a twenty
five cent piece.
Some of our cold spring people were
pleased to see in Tuesday mornings
Rutland Herald that John O'Neil had
lost his case against the State of Yer
mont. John must now pay his fine Of
$9140 and costs. Perhaps there will
be little imprisonment also, So much
for sending wet goods from Whitehall,
n. Y. to Rutland &C. O. D." This
was original package liquor case No. 2.
Our George F. Edmunds told the
United States Supreme court that they
had gone wrong in their decision in
case No. | and advised them to rectity
their error while they could, which it
seems they have done. Our George
F. don't make as much noise as sound
ing brass or an empty wagon but his
habit of looking down to the underpin-
ming of things makes him the pride of
our commonwealth and country.
One of our villagers is the brother-in-
law of the Mr.. Hodges Of Clarendon
who was lately mulcted $500 and
costs for decorating the heart Of his for
mer best girl. Such cases always draw
full houses and are greatly enjoyed,
seeing fair plaintiff and hearing her
describe the billing and cooing etc. with
her lover before he recovered from the
softening of the brain is bewitching as a
circus. If the soft promise were re-
duced to written instrument signed,
sealed and delivered and acknowledged
to be his free act and deed before some
official duly authorized and empowered
to administer oaths it would simplify or
prevent such trials and the innocent
would never be found guilty or the
guilty innocent. But this would make
lovers hollow murder.
