"Lost in London" the play gwen at
the town hall on Friday evening last by
Mr.. Newton Beers ana his company,
drew full house. Many of those who
attended expressed grave doubts as to
whether they got their moneys worth
Some were certain they didn't. The
play itself is unattractive. The best
feature of the show was the dancing
by one of the women, who with
little practice will be able with her toes
to draw blood from the nose of the man
in the moon.
The warm weather of Friday and
Saturday and the rain of Sunday caused
decided rise in the waters of the river.
a part of the ice just above the falls was
carried out, but the main body of it re-
mains in the stream. The cold wave
which put in appearance on Wednesday
afternoon prevented further rise of
the stream. 1t was accompanied by a
little snow, just enough to thicken the
mud and render the roads heavy and
b I'd. The travelling in all the surround
ing country is about as hard as it well
IN be.
A meeting of district No. 3 of the
Old Fellows of the State was held at
the townIhall here last evening under
the direction of District Deputy Grand
Master +. II. Boardman. The local
lodge, Lake DnnmOre, No. IL, was down
on the programme to work the initiatory
degree: Brandon lodge, No. 40, the first
degree; Green Mountain lodge, No. l, of
Burlington, the second, and Hamilton.
No. II, also of Burlington, the third.
p. G.. G. NJ, w. II. Hall of Burlington
and other prominent members of the
order were present.
The remains OF Hon. Timothy G.
Smith. who died suddenly at his board
ming of February %, will be placed in the
receiving vault at the New Haven Gene
terry tomorrow or Sunday. Mr., Smith
had known of instances of people being
Jul dllNC anu tildb ldtC
befall him, so he had requested that at
his death the body might be kept till
there was no doubt of the fact of death.
The children have respected his wish,
but as within day or two signs of de-
composition have begun to show slightly
there seems to them no occasion for
further hesltancy.
The liquor interest had strrlng-up
on Saturday. Friday night Officer Dick
enson arrested w. a. Bonneville and
John Signor, residents of this vicinity,
who were intoxicated. They were up
on Saturday before Justice l.. ID. FL
dredge, Grand Juror Slade appearing for
the State. Bonneville was fined S. and
costs on plea of guilty of intoxication.
He swore that two men gave him the
rum in the mill sheds. Mr.. Eldredge
sent him back to Jail to see if he couldn't
recollect where he procured the liquor.
Signor owned to intoxication and paid
81 l.63 fine and costs. He said his rum
was sold him by Peter Donnelly. Don
nelly was fined $50 and costs for selling,
appealed and furnished bail. Bonneville
finally acknowledged that he, like his
companion, Signor, obtained the liquor
at Donnelly's. His fine, the costs and
his board at the jail while he was re-
freshing his memory amounted to SLABS,
which has been paid.
