sary this Thursday evening. All

The very bright reflection seen in
the eastern sky on Monday evening
was caused by the burning of farm
buildings near West Concord village,
an account of which will be found in
another column. The fire was plainly
visible from this place, and seemed
much nearer than it really was.
The selectmen have received
petition to lay out a highway from
Prospect street to Eastern avenue,
following most OF the way the
private way back of the business
blocks on Main street. The selectmen
will meet the land owners at or near
the town clerks Office tomorrow af-
ternoon at 1 80 o'clock.
B. G. Howe will make extensive
repairs on the St. Johnsbury House
next spring. The present structure
will be moved back and a handsome
and substantial brick front will be
built. Old residents will remember
that the present ell of the St. Johns
bury house was the old tavern here 40
years ago and kept by Capt. Barney.
The three cases of the state VS.
William S. Streeter Of Minneapolis,
which were set for trial Oct. 27,
have been continued to Nov. 13, and
will be then continued for short
time longer. The bill of particulars
contains some 70 items and covers a
period Of seven months and the case
is continued to allow the defendants
attorney time to trace the items and
prepare his defense.
st. Johnsbury has by no means
been alone in her conflict with
typhoid fever the past year. 1t is
stated that one physician in North
Adams, Mass, not far from Benning
ton in this state, has now twenty
four cases of the fever under his owr
care, and that sixteen of these cases
are on one street The disease must
not be looked upon as peculiar tc
this section of this state.
If the hoodlums who thought il
was "funny" to tear down awning:
and do other damage to private
property last Tuesday night coulc
be caught and made to pay roundly
for their pranks, the lesson might b'
a wholesome one. Five policemen
can't cover the whole village ex
plains somebody. Then give us ;
special force tor the occasion-if tha
is the only way in which reckless
Halloween depredations can be pre-
vented.
1t is to be regretted that the tri
angular park at the head OF Summe
street could not have been developed
without the erection of so prominen
and substantial a fence. But tha
spirit of lawlessness which carrie
intruding feet across corner lawn
made itself apparent in conuectio
with the triangular park, and tn
village fathers felt constrained t
, put up this barrier in order to kee
the boys and the cows from maxim
a runway of that spot which
sought to be beautifed. The fene
IS not an ornament-it is necessity

straining power
