N BLAINEs PROPERTY.
Although known as man OF compare.
lively large wealth, Mr. Blaine's life during
his term as Secretary OF Stat was far
from being ostentatious. His home
on Lafayette square was well suited
for entertainment, nut owing TO the fact
that what is called the "adminis.
tration circle" has been almost constantly in
mourning during the past fcur years. it has
been used but little for that purposa Mr..
Blaine's fortune had its origin in tracts
which were left by mis- father, Ephraim
L. Blaine who had himself in
inherited them from the elder
James Gillesnie Blaine. The most valuable
OF these properties was tract OF coal land
near the Monongahela River. Mr.. Blaine
made most Of his money out OF thess lands
and out OF investments in West Virginia.

FIGURES FROM THE LISTERS.

The listers have completed the work
assigned them, and from their books we
CLEAN the following figures which will be
of interest to our taxpayers:
The valuation of the real estate in St.
Johnsbury the present year is $685.
145; of the personal estate, 81, ,306, 1854 ;
the number of polls is 1890, amounting
to $339, 900; making a total valuation
Of f$4, ,264,O
The grand list is one per cent of the
above amount, or $42, $4,000, which is
some three or four hundred dollars only
less than the list of last year.
The net losses by fire during the year,
as found by the listers, amounted to
$33 200
The value of property transferred to
churches, literary and charitable institu.
tons and the United States government
during the year was $751; $50
The increase of the total valuation
from new buildings erected during the
year, and other Improvements made
was $50, $50.
The above figures, while not showing
an unusual amount Of material progress
for our town, are satisfactory in that
they prove health(ul condition of af
fairs, and that the town has firmly hello
its own.

A DENTISTS DISCOVERY.

The dentists chair, even when it is pre-
sided over by an operator with merciful
tendencies, is not willingly occupied by
those whose teeth contain threatening
cavities, because the process of filling
has been looked upon hitherto as neces-
sarily accompanied by a good deal of
pain; and nobody enjoys pain-not
even the dentist who is accused of Civ
ing it.
But st. Johnsbury dentist has made
discovery which will do away with
this reluctance on the part of the patient
and will make teeth-filling more en-
joyable piece of business for all concern,
ed. This important discovery, which
has been made by DR.. J. L. Perkins, is
an anesthetic which, applied to the
tooth, permeates its substance and in
duces anesthesia, putting the tooth to
sleep, so to speak, and luling its senses so
completely as to preclude pain while the
oPSioeiOh vi hi'ihS 10 SoihS oH' liz
newly-iormed anesthetic is a harmless
affair and affects nothing save the tooth
itself, it's influence, in a majority OF
cases, lasting just long enough to
allow the operation to be completed; or,
if necessary, second application is
easily made.
1t goes without saving that dis
covery of this sort means a great deal
and, found effective, it will be duly ap-
preciated by all who have need to visit
the dentist. During the last few weeks
DR.. Perkins has experimental on quite a
number of peculiarly nervous patients,
who have hitherto been unable to have
any work done without suffering torture,
and the result has been satisfactory in
every case; those operated on declare

THE MILITIA'S RECEPTION

There was an enjoyable combination
of the N. G. V. and Y M. c. at the
rooms Of the latter on Thursday evening
OF last week, the members of Company
d having cordially responded, in uniform,
to an invitation from Secretary Lewis
to become the guests of the association
at that time. The ladies of the auxil-
iary served fine supper, to which the
Guard and other invited guests did am
pie justice, members Of the Junior Branch
doing the honors as walters.
When the supper had been fully at
tended to, the company moved their
chairs back and settled down to enjoy
season of informal speech-making. Two
or three of the Grand Army veterans
had been invited to drop in and talk to
the Guard, and Secretary Lewis, after
briefly welcoming the company in be-
hall of the association, called on Capt.
P. d. Blodgett to speak concerning his
army experiences. The captain always
has something interesting to say on
these occasions, and he entertained the
boys in fine shape for a few minutes
while he told of the capture on certain
battlefield just 20 years ago, of some
600 rebels by the command to WHICH he
was attached. His "reminiscences were
generously sprinkled with humor and
were roundly applauded by his listeners

A CREAMERY PROJECT.

1t is announced on the best of authori-
ty that st. Johnsbury is to have cream
cry, which will be in operation by early
fall and will do not little in booming
the business interests Of the town.
Those most directly concerned in the
scheme are c. H. Higgins and F. H.
Shepard of Passumpsic, both of whom
are capable Of carrying the project along
successfully. The details are by no
means completed, but it is to be hoped
that there will be no failure in the final
arrangements, for it is generally thought
that an institution of this sort can be
made to pay here if established on a
proper basis.

A SMALL BLAZE.

There was a small blaze in Frank
Gastonguay's woodshed, in Summerville,
on Saturday, which resulted in a fire
alarm and a few moments of excitement.
The cause of the fire is not known. The
Summerville hose company were on
hand in season to prevent much OF a
disaster, but they had to lay hose Tor a
long distance in order to connect with
the flames. The damage was confined to
the burning of part of the shed and a
small quantity of wood. Hose had to
be laid 1850 feet--one of the longest
lines ever laid here.

great financial swindle, which robbed

raigned in court, were found TO have
made pretended loans of great por-
tion of the sum pilfered upon Hobbs
Il Co. properties, having to show
therefor third preference charges on
third rate properties belonging to
the firm. They had also
changed expense accounts, forged
wage orders and in fact employed ev-
cry swindlIng scheme known to the

appointed for that purpose. In the
meantime, sentence will be pronounc.
ed against its wreckers and their terms
