tinued prosperity and growth in size
and influence.

The directors of the Barton National
bank, owing to the fact that they have
been unable as yet, to get all that IS
due the bank from the bursted Nave
rick bank of Boston, have decided to
pass the dividend of July 1. The bus
mess of the bank during the past six
months has been large and profitable,
and the directors expect to get apart
or the whole now due from the broken
bank, when the dividends or surplus
will be increased.
The water in the ponds and streams
1oc ST Cr1rdox7 piOht and
Monday morning, was almost up to
the high water mark of 1869, when SO
great damage was done all through
this section of the country. The dam
age was less than might have been
expected; but crops everywhere,
and especially on the river bottoms
are injured and ruined. Great guam
titles of sand and food-wood were
carried into the meadows everywhere.
The rain fall between Saturday night,
July I'd, and Monday morning was
over three inches by measure, probably
very little short of three and one half
inches.
The Springfield, Mass, Union just
starts in with morning daily, having
for some years run an evening daily.
1t is a staunch, reliable and enterpris-
ing journal which believes in republi-
can principles, protection, reciprocity
and true Americanism. The Spring
field Republican long popular paper
in Vermont has lost favor and pres
tige by changing from the republican
side down through the various grade
of "independent" nonsense to rank
democracy. 3 People this way want a
paper that is either one thing or the
other, and an independent organ that
only represents the caprices of an ed
itor is neither popular nor reliable.
! Freddy Percival, son of G. F. Perez
val, and Martel boy were each
badly burned by the explosion of pow
der on Tuesday last. The boys in some
way procured some powder and were
ssfiring'' it and by some accident ex-
ploded the whole quantity in their
faces and eyes. The Percival boy was
badly burned about the face and head
and it is probable will be considerably
SCARED by the accident. The other
boy was severely burned but not sc
seriously hurt. 1t is a great pity that
SO many must be burned, mutilated
and killed every year by the careless
use of gunpowder. It is well to be
patriotic and noisy, but it is very ex-
pensive when limb and life are at
stake.
The time for the Summer School,
