A trunk belonging to a travelling
salesman was demolished by the ex-
press train at the depot last Friday
night. One CT those officious fellows
from Wayback," who are always

The trustees of the Lamoille Cen
trail Academy have hired VIM. Hazen

V. NJ He stood well in his class and
graduated with high honors. He is
son of Rev. Austin Hazen and
comes from a well-known family.
Those who have met the young man
say the trustees have made no mis-
take. We do not understand that
the assistants have yet been engaged.
"Why can't Hyde Park have a
base ball club?" remarked an enthu-
siastic admirer of the great American
game recently. We thought so, too,
and wondered if the "good old days"
when with little effort not only one,
but two clubs could be got together,
could not be revived. With this in
mind we went over the list of availa-
BILE base ball timber in the place and
in a short time submitted the follow
ing list to the aforesaid "Admir' r.
Pitcher, Harry Noyes; Catcher, Mar
vim Goddard; Short-Stop, F. &. Tay-
lor; LIST Base, T. HI. Page; End Base,
Ferdinand Gauthier; 3rd Base, Geo.

spare hands (as they would have lit
tie to do, we added E. l.. Moves, III.
M. Mcfarland and F. N. Keller. The
list met with the approval of g d-
mirer," who added, "Put Roger HUI
burd down for umpire, for he will claim
everything and look up the law after
wards" So here is the list complete
If anybody can make any sugges-

send in the names and they will be

The Lamoille Central Academy of
Hyde Park has reason to feel proud
of the record the three students it
sent to the U. V. M. four years
ago have made. All of them have
just graduated with high honOrs.
Leon X. Wiswell was awarded the
Phelps prize $3.50 in gold, which has
been taken but once before. This
prize is given "to the graduate in
the Department of Civil Engineering
who shall have exhibited conspicu-
Gus merit in professional studies and
high and noble traits of character.
ii. A. Noyes was awarded special
honors for excellency in philosophy
and Miss Mary Brigham received the
$25 elocution prize. Messrs. Wiswell
and Noyes were also made members
of the Phi Beta KAPPA Society, which
is made up yearly of the first fourth
of each graduating class. The excel
lent record these young people have
attained was secured, of course, by
hard work and wecongratulate them
upon their success. 1t also shows
that as a preparatory school the
Lamoille Central Academy is among
the best. Miss Brigham has already
been engaged as preceptress of the
High school at CRANKY, Mass, and
Mr.. Wiswell in few weeks will enter
the employ of the Berlin Bridge Co.
of East Berlin, Conn. We have not
yet learned what Mr.. Noyes has in
view, but have no doubt that he will
give a good account of himself.
