thus far fixed upon for meetings,
which will begin August % and con-
tinue till Sept. /, are st. Johnsbury
or Lyndonville, East Hardwick, Es-
sex, Dorset or Rupert, Brattleboro,
Springfield and two localities on the
line of the Central Vermont between
White River Junction and Montpel-
ier.
The series of meetings will begin at
either St. Johnsbury on Lyndonville,
and State Master Messer or some
other officer of the State Grange will
be present at all of them. The New
England Farmer insists that these
gatherings will be of great impor-
tance to the oranges, Master Brig
ham is referred to as leading fea-
ture," standing six feet six inches in
his stockings, and an earnest devotee
of the grange.

MUSICAL MATTERS,

]. H. Humphrey OF this place has
been engaged as teacher OF vocal
music in the public schools of Bur-
lingron and will begin his work there
the second Monday in September.
Mr.. Humphrey will devote three or
four days in each week to the Bur-
lington schools, and this will still
leave him time to attend to his
duties as leader of the North church
choir and do some other musical
work in this section. Mr.. Humphrey
has a thorough knowledge of vocal
music, is familiar with the methods
adopted by the best teachers in the
country, and is well qualified for the
position to which he has been chos-
en-. He will enter upon his work
with the cordial cooperation of
Superintendent Wheeler and his en-
tire corps Of instructors, and his
many St. Johnsbury friends will
wish him the utmost success.
The Boylston Quartette of Little
ton, known and appreciated in mus
ical circles here, are to sing at Bar
ton next week, and probably at East
Hardwick at a later date. The
ouartette does excellent work, and
seems to be in demand.
Fred W. Bancroft of Montpelier,
whose pleasing lecture on "Old Eng
lish Ballads" has twice been given in
St. Johnsbury, has now another lee

The Azte-Zone Chemica Company

County Supervisor Taylor held
an examination here on Monday
and Tuesday of this week for the
benefit of aspirants to positions as
teachers. Twelve candidates pre-
sented themselves, two or three
from out of town, and Mr.. Taylor
says the work done by them was
rather above the average.
The Boston and Maine road an

Some empty coal cars descended
the grade at the siding on the Lake
road which goes to the scale work:
last Friday morning at very mop
portune time. An engine was just
coming up the grade with severa
cars loaded with scales and COLI

draw-bars on the cars were broken
but no damage was done to th'
scales. The brakeman misunder
stood orders and started the empt,
cars while a train was on the sam
track.

A HARD STORM.

1t happened on Monday, shortly
after noon, and it was almost a
cloud-burst. The thunder was loud
and frequent, the lightning flashes
very vivid and alarming to the more
timid ones, and the rain fell in per-
feet torrents for long time, wash
ing the roads to some extent and
threatening destruction to gardens
and larger fields where crops were
attending strictly to the growing and
ripenng process. Seldom does this
section experience a worse storm
than that of Monday, but, as usual,
St. Johnsbury escaped any serious
results. Some damage was done to
the telephone lines running east, and
the magnetic in the telephone at the
electric station was burned out.
Later in the afternoon. the storm
took fresh start, and an ex-
tremely sharp lightning stroke gave
the impression that sonnet hing in
this immediate vicinity had been hit.

READY FOR MUSTER.

Company D has been getting ready
for muster, which occurs at Rutland
next week, and by the latter part of
this week will be pretty much
in trim for that annual as
sembly of the state soldiery. The
quartermas and detail Of five
men leave for the camp ground on
Saturday, to prepare for the coming
of the company on the following
Tuesday. A lot of neat new boxes,
or trunks, have been made, to hold
the baggage of the men, and Com
pany D will go into camp with nearly
full ranks and ready for week of
military training. They hope for
different sort of weather than that
which prevailed at muster last year,
when rain was the order OF the week
and drilling was seriously interfered
with.
Company's D's suite of rooms in
Bank block now includes cosy little
room for social purposes, which has
lately been finished off and neatly
furnished, and which the members
of the Guard will no doubt make an
excellent and discrete use Of as a
rendezvous when not ION duty"
elsewhere.

DANVILLE'S SUMMER CALLERS.

The summer guest business is lively
at Danville. II have nine rooms,
and eighteen regular boarders,"
said Thurber, he of the hotel where
so many people from this section go
for a "call" and dinner or tea these
summer days. "Thurber's' is crowd
ed, and seems scarcely large enough
to meet the growing demand.
You'll have to enlarge your house."
said transient" to the landlord;
then Thurber thought awhile, and
from what he said in reply it might
be gathered that he was seriously
considering the matter of getting
more room on his own premises.
1t would certainly seem necessary,
for at present Thurber is compelled
to secure rooms "out" for his board
ers, or say no to their applications.
On Thursday last II St. Johnsbury
people took dinner there, and on
Friday 13 more from the scale town
registered there; and so the story
goes through most of the season.
1t is certainly gratifying to note
that Danville is in the summer
visitor business this year again to
so large an extent The limit of her
opportunities in that direction has
not been reached as yet.
