The many friends of Mr.. L. H. Good

Wednesday of last week the board of
directors of the humane society interview
ed the owner of some dilapidated old
horses that looked as though 'sthey long
ed for restn A visit was made to the sta
BILE, few questions asked and the direct
ors departed. The owner evidently tho't
these gentlemen fit for murder, "treason,
stratagem and spoils;" for Friday when
they returned to settle the matter, the
steeds were missing.
Luther c. White, Jr., recently received a
consignment of souvenir coins from the
Worlds Fair commissioners and has dis
/ tributed them among those for whom he
acted as agent. A genuine coin will, un-
doubtedly, be of great value to collectors
/ in years to come, but the ease and profit
/ with which they can be counterfeited in
coin silver will make souvenir coinso in
days to come as plentiful as "old bullets"
dug up in Gettysburg's historic battle
/ field.-Vermont Tribune.
DR.. H. II. Mcintyre returned Friday
from Chicago, " here he has been negoti-
ating for space, in which the Granite Pro-
ducers' Association of Barre is to make an
exhibit of the stone and OF its work at
the Worlds Fair. 1000 square feet in the
Department of Mines and Mining were
asked for by the association, but no space
whatever was TO be had in that depart
ment, and only 300 square feet, taken from
the last unappropriated block in the
Manufacturers building, could be obtained
with the partial promise of 300 more.
The association proposes to exhibit one
large monument, weighing 10 tons and
standing 90 feet high, with shaft weigh
ing 80 tons, and as many smaller works
as the space will allow. All the buildings
on the Exposition grounds are filed to
OVERLOOKING, and at least three times the
room provided could have been profitably
used by exhibitors. Absolutely no space
is to be had hereafter. These 800 feet were
only obtained on the representation that
the State of Vermont was entitled TO suf
ticient space, in which to MAKE an exhibit
of her granite industry.
The Juniors of the W.R.H s. took a
class ride to South Royalton last Friday
evening. 1t was a delightful evening and
the delighted Juniors to the number OF 20
packed themselves into three large sleighs. |
furnished with skilful drivers by Mr.. chas |
Holman, and started from this depot at |
about p. m. The drive was pleasant and |
"Junior dignity was three times sacrifie- |
ed TO the class yell as they drove through |
Bethel, Royalton and into South Royal |
ton Arrived at the latter place, they /
went to the Woodward House where sup |
per had been previously ordered for them. |
But here Prof. NJ. ). Stone, State superin-
tendent of education, met them and invit /
ed them to attend lecture to be delivered /
by him at the Cong'l vestry that evening |
ON the subject OF education" This in 4
vitation they accepted and attended the /
lecture in body, after which they return
ed to the hotel and sat down to a very fine
supper, which was partaken of with appe-
titles not dulled by the feast of reason pro-
vided by Supt. Stone. Supper over, the
remainder of the evening was thoroughly
enjoyed, and at the witching hour of
twelve the happy party started for home,
where they arrived in good order at about
