BASE BALL NOTES.

The first of the series with the
Lyndonvilles was played at Lyndon
vile last Friday and the spectators
were treated to close and exciting
contest which was not decided until
the tenth inning. The st. Johns
bury's then secured the winning run
and the final score was II to II.
Hawley pitched for the home nine
until the last inning, when Shufelt
came in. Hawley pitched a good
game, made three runs and two hits.
1t was excessively hot, but the game
was close enough to keep up the in
terest of a good crowd of spectators,
including a small St. Johnsbury dele
cation.
The St. Johnsbury team went to
Knowlton, P. O., on Saturday to
play the West Farnham nine on the
occasion of an Odd Fellows picnic
on Bronze Lake, and came home
with game to their credit. The
score stood 10 to 2 in favor of the
St. Johnsburys, who put up a fine
exhibition of ball playing, with only
one error.
The Boston Stars play the St.
Johnsburys here this afternoon at
three, and also tomorrow afternoon,
and there is likely to be fun ahead.
The game here on Tuesday, be-
tween the st. Johnsburys and Lyn-
donvilles, was another one-sided
affair, the score standing 10 to 2 in
favor OF the home team. Hazelton
and Cotton pitched for the visitors,
while Shufelt officiated in the box
for st. Johnsbury.

team, will play the St. Johnsburys

this town. She leaves two sons and
one daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth c.
Chandler. The body will be brought
to st. Johnsbury and buried in the
cemetery next Saturday. Mrs. Ben
ton was most estimable lady and

Laird & Sweeney have bought
one share of the water power at
Paddock village Of Jovite Pinard for
$1050. This is the highest price yet
paid for one of these shares. When
the village bought four shares for
$4,000 last spring some thought that
they were paying fancy price, but
this last trade proves that the water
power is worth something after all.
Louis Demers, grocer, on Rail-

outstanding accounts in his favor Of

stringency of the money market and
the inability of so many of his
customers to pay their bills by reason
of lack of work has brought about
Demers' failure. He is doing what
he can to help straighten out his af-
fairs.

deavor held a basket picnic at
Harvey's pond, West Barnet, last

about 1000 had arrived and at noon
dined in groups of six or eight up to
twenty or thirty. After dinner came
music and speaking. The Barnet
band played several fine pieces, then
remarks were made by Rev. Cay Of
McIndoes, Rev. Woodruff of Jericho,
Rev. Hall of Ryegate, Rev. Jackson
Of South Ryegate and Rev. McFad-

POST OFFICE NEWS.

A new set of lock and call boxes
have been purchased by the post
master and will be put in place this
week. The call boxes have wire bot
toms and are quite an improvement
over the old boxes which have been
in the office nearly 20 years. The
lock boxes have no keys, but have
combination locks similar to safe.
Each lock is set on a different num-
Der, but if one does not want to use
the combination the box can be
opened without it, These boxes also
have wire bottoms. Both kinds of
boxes have French glass fronts.
A new mail pouch has been added
to our postal service by which let
ters may be sent at 1886 a. m. to all
points on the Burlington & Lamoille
and Missisquoi Valley roads, includ-
ing st. Albans. Mail will be sent to
St. ] Johnsbury from the Richford and
St. Adams route in the afternoon,
arriving here at 9 p. m.
Herbert E. Dawes has resigned
as letter carrier and Chas. P. French,
first substitute carrier, has succeeded
him. A substitute carrier will be
appointed to serve with Henry w.
Ellis, who is now first substitute.
The letter carriers have lots of work
to do, seven days in the week, and
the public do not always realize the
amount of faithful work these gov
ernment officials perform. Mr..
Dawes retires with the goodwill
OF all his patrons.
A civil service examination for
the grades of clerk and carrier in the
post Office will be held here Sept. 9.
Full details may be learned by ap.
plication to H. A. Holder or F. A.
Clayton.
Beginning Tuesday the mail service
was further extended by putting a
pouch from st. Johnsbury on the
1O.45 a. m. train, taking mail to
Lyndonville, Lyndon Center, Shef-
field and Wheelock. Mail from these
towns can come to St. Johnsbury on
the return pouch, which is placed
upon the afternoon "air line" train
going south.
Unless the number of days is printed
on the envelope, business letters are
now held at the st office three days
instead of ten as heretofore. Busi
ness men will take the hint involved
in this new ruling.

A BAD FIRE.

A BAD FIRE.
The upholstery and furniture store
owned by Switser & Miller caught
flre about 4 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon and in half an hour nearly
$4,000 worth of damage was done
by fire and water.
The store was shut at the time the
fire occurred and Mr.. Switser's fami-
ly, who occupied the upper stories,
were all out. Consequently the fire
got well started before any one dis
covered it. The cause of the fire is
unknown, and the only theory is
that might have been set by children
who had frequently played in the
rear of the building. When the
alarm sounded the rear of the store
was all ablaze and the rear of Mrs.
Deans block, just below, and Mrs
Boucher's block, just above Mr..
Switser's building, were also on fire.
When the hose companies came the
tiremen soon had the fire under con-
troll, but dense volumes of black
smoke continued to pour out of the
building. Much of the furniture in
the upper stories was taken out and
carried across the street.
The building was owned bv Mr..
Switser and was insured for S17OO
with P. D. Blodgett & Co. The in.
surance will not cover the loss of the
building. The store property was
owned by Switser & Miller and was
insured for $1,000 with P. D. Blod.
gett & Co. The loss here will be
heavy, as the new firm carried good
stock OF furniture and upholstering
goods and had large quantity of
excelsior, tow and hair slowed in the
rear of the store. This store was
badly damaged by fire about two
years ago and the firm have the
sympathy of the community in this
second fire.

AN ODD FELLOW FIELD DAY.

The Odd Fellows of St. Johnsbury
have invited the Odd Fellows of sur
rounding towns to join them in field
day exercises at the fair ground here
on Saturday of this week, and are
making preparations for big time.
If the programme as arranged is car
rled out, that date will be looked
back upon by the fraternity with
great deal of pleasure.
The fun will begin at 10 a. m. with
a ball game between two mines m ade
up of Odd Fellows and their sons; it
is expected that St. Johnsbury and
Lyndonville will unite in this feature
of the day. Following this will
come harness contest to see who
can most quickly harness a horse,
hitch him to buggy and drive once
around the track. From 12 to l
o'clock will be devoted to a picnic
dinner. In the afternoon there will
be a horse race, foot race, bicycle
race and other sports, including, it is
hoped, bean.bag contest by the
ladies. The st. Johnsbury band will
be present and give concert. None
but Odd Fellows will participate in
the several events, and the privileges
OF the day will be limited to members
OF the fraternity and invited friends.
