The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-10-18

dramatized is some what different from the
opera. Marguerite is usually imprisoned
for killing her child; in this she is charged
with numbering her mother. Faust has
persuaded her to give her mother sleeping
potion which he assures her is harmless,
while Mephisto takes care that 1t is poison
In the last act Faust instead of being event
ually captured by Mephisto, escapes, and
Is seen at Marguerte's feet as the angels
are about to take her to heaven. Mr.. Fran
els Lyman as Faust, Mr.. William owen as
Mephisto, and Miss Arma Boyle as Mar
guerite, were admirable and their support
was even. The scenic effects where church
and saloon exist in such close proximity
were admirable.
MANAGER G. NJ. FOSTER of the Kelley In
stitute has, during the past few months been
negotiating for the purchase of more terri
tory and has recently secured an option for
the purchase of the exclusive right to adj
minister the Kelley treatment in the pro-
vinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edwards Island. He is now form

| The sum required to be raised is $4,000, one
half of which must be paid on or before
October d. the balance on or before January
10, 1894 The population in the proposed
territory is at least three times that in Yer
mont. The right to administer these rem

by a syndicate, after which stock com
pany was formed, capitalized at $4,000.

the first year was entirely satisfactory. As

is a sure and pro fitable investment and will
at the same time Indirectly benefit those
who need to be cured of the liquor NOR
phine and tobacco habits. Mr.. Foster, hav
ing recently become identified with the
business interests of Montpelier, is anxious
that this amount should be raised here.
Faiinc to obtain the desired funds he will
be obliged TO look elsewhere for the money.
UNDER the personal supervision of Com
missioners James w. Brock, l.. Bart Cross
| and A. j. Sibey, the sum of s., 2,500 or
more, is being expended in improving and
beautifying Green Mount cemetery A
| large force of men and teams has been con-
stanty employed there for several weeks,
and there is yet considerable work planned
| before he ground freezes. Among the most
| noticeable Improvements already completed
is the new road that has been built over
| the brow of the hill connecting Rose Hill
| and Fountain avenues which opens up To-
cations for many desirable lots. The com
missioners have also built more than twenty
new lots on Sunnyside, Rose Hill and
| Spruce avenues, exclusive of the large lot
on Cypress avenue, purchased by the Ma
sons, and the equally spacious Odd Fellows
lot on Myrtle avenue The general appear
ance of the ground shows marked i'm
provement. Dumping ground beside the
ledges have been cleared up, and steps cut
| in the rocks in various localities. wall
| OF solid masonry several rods in length has
/ been built on the lower side Of Maple ave-
nue., and tiling has been laid from several
points ON the hill to carry off the surface
water during heavy rains, and prevent
washing of the avenues. new road has
also been built from Alpine avenue to Gem
| etery Park, the highest point in the yard,
| where grand view of the whole cemetery
! and of the surrounding country is obi aimed.
This also opens up many desirable sites for
lots in that part of the cemetery In all the
improvements the good judgment of those
having the work in charge is shown. Fred
Il. Smith has been hired sexton to sue
ceed the late Ira Snow, and he has recently
moved into the house near the upper gate.
! Under the direction of the commissioners,
he will have general supervision of the
cemetery. The hearses have been taken TO
the livery stable of j. q. Adams, where or
ders for carriages and hearse can be left.
This act of the commissioners will he ap-
preciated by people who do not own a
team. The same charge will be made for
the use of the hearse as heretofore. The
change is made simply to accommodate
those who need to use Them.
The finishing touches will soon be given
the new Capital creamery, aud the indica-
tions now are that the plant will be in
operation by November l. 1t has long
been matter of wonder on the part of the
leading farmers and merchants of this vicin-
ity that one Of the best grazing sections of
Vermont which has in addition the exist
ing advantages Of double railroad facilities
both for receiving cream and shipping to
market the butter, had not before been
seized upon by those familiar with the pos
sibilties of the situation, as one of the most
desirable sites in Vermont for locating a
large butter-making industry. 1t remained,
however, for Messrs, Francis Batchelder &
Co., Boston, to take the decisive step.
This firm, one of the largest commission
houses in Boston, entered into contract for
the erection of their central plant i'll mid
summer, while the financial depression was
at its worst, and are to-day nearly ready for
business. They propose to locaIe separator
stations at various points throughout the
county, from which the cream will be for
warded to the central station, thus giving
to each town in which station is located
all the advantages that could accrue to
patrons AT Nom peller, Mr. a. w. SlOCuu,
who so ably represents their interests here,
is indefatigabe in his eXertons to erect and
equip plant that will he eXceled in point
of practical usefulness by none in the state
He reports the farmers as giving him every
assurance of their hearty support, that
some are now largely increasing their stock,
and many others are preparing to do so
Mr. Truman Gibson, who is known as one
of the best butter-malIers in Vermont, l.
under contract with them TO take charge OF
this part of the business, and is now here
making use of his trained knowledge OF
practical butter-makiug, suggesting many
details of equipment necessary to produce
the result desired. The name selected foI
the trademark under which this product
will be sold is one that will, we feel Ger
tain, honor their business, as the new en-.
terprise honors the county and village
Our heartest congratulations TO Messrs
Francis Batchelder & Co, and best wishes
for the mutual success of the patrons and
proprietors of the new Capital creamery.
