The weary travellers, passing through this
place last Friday evening, stopped and
with increasing amazement asked of each
other, What means this array, these
b%onfires, this marching to and fro with the
music of fife and drums and the BOOM
ing of cannon? Can 1t be possible that some
OF your democrats are still rejoicing over
the election?" 20, no." replies a person
standing near, " it is only the people of this
place rejoicing that they can still drink of
the pure water, which comes bubbling forth
from our hillsides and courses its way to
the valleys below without any one to say
them nay" "And what means that enor-
nous pumpkin and the inscription below"
asks the traveller. "That," replies the
standerby, represents the Barre Water
Company which placed the injunction upon
the East Barre Water Company in 1892, for
bidding them to furnish to the people of the
place water that they may keep themselves
clean in the sight of their fellow.men."
" And those images filed with straw which
so much resemble persons we have seen
but cannot recall; what means that?''
I" Those represent the superintendent of
the Barre water-works and their astute
lawyer, who are now, by a late decision of
the supreme court of our beloved state, in
the soup" replied the standerby. "And
who are those persons whom the people
gather around to do honor to?" asked the
travellers. THAT is William M. Carnes
and Richard A. Hoar, who nave defeated
thn RQrrp Wafav EAVn N a n - .tvnr,v A;-
in their suit against the East Barre Water
Company" was the reply. "Aud is there
any more to be seen or heard?" asked the
travellers. YES" was the reply, we are
yet to listen to remarks by DIR. Il. NJ. Min
ard, Hon. w. G. Nye, ant a short speech
by II. A. Hoar, the rising young lawyer of
Barre, together with songs and music upon
violins, Cornet and organ. Then we will
remain" said the travellers, 'for truly this is
more interesting than the circus we visited
At Barre yesterday" And after the speeches
had been made, and the songs sung, and
the instruments had sent forth their sweet
strains, and the people were vending their
various ways toward their homes, the tray
elers, as they resumed their journey, rested
and refreshed, were heard to murmur softly
to themselves, "Truly the mills of the gods
grind slowly, but they grind exceeding
small"
