Waterford as to " how much Office had been
held by the gentleman who wanted to be
set Off" Judge Parks. The reply was that
Waterford had given the Judge all the offices
that it had to give. "Then," said the gem

Judge Parks don't expect to get those offices
more than once, and now wants to be set

DIR. FRED L. LADUE, the member from
Alburgh sustained partial shock of para
lyss, Wednesday night. n. Young, rela-
tive, shared his room with him, but did not
notice anything out of the way when he rose.
AS MIR. Ladue did not appear toward noon,
Mr.. Young went to his room and found him
in deplorable condition, unable to speak
and paraly zed on one side. DIR. Bsbee and
other physicians were summoned. DIR. La
due is about thirty-five years old. His pre-
sent condition is critical.
THE license bill was called up on Monday
by Mr.. Boynton, who asked that it be
made special order for Tuesday afternoon,
at 2:15. Mr.. Martin suggested that the bill
be discussed Monday evening, when the
democrats were having their pow-wow, and
that as the arguments would doubtless be
the same old affair, it would not be bad
idea to read them by their titles only. Mr..
Boynton stated that he desired to assist in
the celebration on Monday evening, and the
bill went over until Tuesday.
AT precisely 1890 o'clock, Saturday, Gov
delegation of Rutland ladies and gem
tlemen, signed the bill granting a city
charter to that large and scrappy town.
Before signing he selected the quill with
great care, and lent to the occasion the
solemnity which it deserved. When he
had done so sigh of relief emanated from
the Threats of the distinguished crowd
present, and the quill was handed to Mrs.
Mead, to go down to posterity, immortality
and antiquity
PoLITIos, present and prospective, entered
very largely into the candidacy of Senator
Foster for superintendent of education, it
is surmised. Was there any special design,
in the solid " support of Rutland and Ben
nington counties for the Burlington candi-
date of loading another of the largest sal
aired offices on to the Queen City? Did the
action of the delegations from those coun-
ties, which their spokesman declared with
oratorical flourish "were solid for Foster"
have any reference to possible political con-
tingences in 1894?
AS Senator Orvis emerged from the sem
ate chamber, Wednesday afternoon, he was
confronted by maiden lady in whose eyes
glinted a dangerous light. "Senator Orvis,
you voted against the woman suffrage
senator, without any hesitation. "Why
did you do sop "My wife told me to-"
" But have you no consideration for the
other women of the state?" snapped the
maiden of uncertain age. Madame, re-
piled the senator kindly, "thereis altogether
too much of that going on this session
already"
THE pages held an Indignation meeting in
the dome Friday morning, and protested
against the assertion, made Thursday, that
they were responsible for the mistakes in
the balotng. The following resolution was
adopted: Whereas, 1t is announced that
we kids are responsible for the ballot-box

the country should git onter the Vermont
Legislatures Therefore, be it resolved, that it
is darned funny that all the extra votes
were all one way, and that our mistakes
did not help the other Teller"
THE appropriation of $4,000 for the
Waterbury asylum appeared in the house,
Monday, before dinner. The gentleman from
Halifax Intercepted all hands, but the
chairman of the committee on the insane
not being present, the bill was made the
special order for two o'clock. AT that time
Mr.. Elliot urged the necessity of the APP
preparation. Mr.. Read of Rockingham
moved that the bill be amended by making
the amount $4,000 After protracted dis
cussion the amendment was agreed to. The

In their visit to the state asylum at Water
bury, on Friday, the senate collectively
and individually had some amusing expe-
riences. " Beware of pickpockets!" called
out one of the patients as the honorable
senators filed into one of the rooms, The
east side senator from Orange met former
