they abated as a nuisance the place Just
across the river on Berlin side from the
Central Vermont depot run by Peter
Amour and wife, The peace aud quiet OF
the Sabbath day was badly fractured there
last Sunday, and it is understood that some
of the peaceable citizens of that locality
propose to see IL something cannot be done
about it.
DIR HAYNES LOCKE RICHARDSON, well
remembered by the longtime residents of
Montpelier, died last Thursday at the home
of his daughter In New York city. Dr. Rich
ardson was born in Corinth, Vt, in 1928.
After his graduation from medical college
in New York he began the practice OF his
profession in Montpelier. Ten years later
he volunteered as surgeon in the Thirteenth
Vermont Volunteers, serving in that ca
pacty until 1865, when he located in New
York, where he has since lived.
Mrs. GEORGE JACOBS, wife of former
well-known citizen of Montpelier, died In
Boston last Wednesday. Her body was
brought to Montpelier on Friday and fu-
neral services were held Saturday morning
from the home Of Misses Wealthy and Bet
sey LOOMS, her sisters, on Bailey avenue.
Rev. G.. W. Gallagher conducted the SER
vices. She leaves two daughters, Lucy and
Mary. The former is connected with the
Wo1nan's Educational and Industrial Bu-
reau at Boston, and the latter is u trained
nurse in New York.
II. G. BARNES, head bookkeeper for X. II.
White & Co., Boston, completed course
OF treatment at the Kelley Institute and re-
turned to his home last Friday. Mrs.
Barnes was with her husband at the Pavil-
ion during last week. During his stay in
Montpelier, Mr.. Barnes formed many pleas
ant acquaintance to whom he gave cor
dial invitation to visit him when in Boston.
The Institute at Montpelier has graduated
no more enthusiastic living advertisement
than is Mr.. Barnes, and life had new
meaning for him as he went back to his
work
REV. E. j. RANsLow, chaplain of the SEN
ate, was advertised to lecture in Capital
Hail. Monday evening. under the auspices
OF Brooks Post, G. A. r., on A tribute to
the skill of our officers and bravery of our
men in the civil war" Only about dozen
veterans gathered, and the lecture was
postponed until some evening next week.
The attendance would doubtless have been
much larger had the lecture been 2dver-
tised for some other place in the village. 1t
requires more brilliant lecturer than even
Chaplain Ranslow to attract an audience to
Capital Hall.
A REPRESENTATIVE of the WATCHMAN
called the attention of Manager Foster of
the Kelley Institute to the associated press
dispatch sent out from Chicago last Mon
day which stated that the Leslie E. Kelley
bichloride of gold cure for drunkenness has
been sold to syndicate of New York cap
italists for $4,000 900, and that DIR. Kelley
same business again. When asked if he
knew anything in regard to it, Mr.. Foster
replied that he had heard nothing of it and
did not believe it, for he did not believe
DR.. Kelley would sell for any such figures.
The dispatch also stated that all the Kelley
Institutes in the United States are included
in the transaction.
CAPTAIN TUTHERLY, U. S. A, the officer
detailed by the war department to inspect
the Vermont troops, was at Montpelier last
Thursday evening and inspected Company
III. The seats were removed from Capital
Hall for the oc Jasion. After the company
had been drilled by Captain Eaton, Captain
| Tutherly gave them some instructions in
marching and in the manual of arms. He
compimented Captain Eaton on the, sol
dierly appearance of his command, and
after the company had gone to its quarters
he remarked to Battalion Sergeant Major
Grout, That's as well as we used to do in
the cavalry" Coming from such source,
the company may justly regard such AN ex-
preston as no ordinary compliment.
THERE are well authenticated reports
that certain of Lamoille county's citz zens
| have signed petition to the governor for
! the pardon of the former keeper of one of
Montpelier's vilest dens, now serving out a
well-earned term of Imprisonment in the
! house of correction at Rutland. The man
is Lamoile county's legacy to Washington,
and when he has satisfied the claims of JUS
| tice incurred here, Montpelier will cheer
! fully hand him over to the philanthropists
of Morrisville. He is the last man in
whose behalf executive clemency should be
invoked, and we believe it will be sought
in vain. " Hands off," is Washington
countys message to Lamoile in the matter
of dealing with the violators here of the
laws both of God and man.
THE entertainment to be given by the
young people in Blanchard opera house
Friday evening, April %, for the benefit of
the Ladies Library Guild will have about
| il the charm of novelty and is already an
affair that is keenly anticipated. The large
number of characters required to success
fully illustrate the Magazine Vivant" are
in competent hands, and the parts are being
industrously rehearsed. Among the most
| striking of these characters and scenes will
be the froLtspece Five O'clock Tea"
My Uncle's Will" " Pauline Parlornia,"
Queen Summer " and reading " Strategy
of Miss Benton, Jr.," by Miss Margaret Ii.
Shanks. The success of the undertaking is
assured, and the evening of its presentation
is awaited with much interest.

tion regarding the weather, representations
as To storms, heat, frosts and snow, and eau
tions to " look out " for various meteor
ologic phenomena occurring anywhere and
