Geo. Tower had parties here last
week who contracted to get in all the
logs on his big timber lot, and others
who are to saw it all out by the thous-
and feet. Mr.. Tower leaves to-day
for the Worlds Fair in company with
Simon Morrill, of Coventry. N. M.

last Monday.
E. G. Butler of East Albany, whether
as a left handed compliment to the
editor or a donation to his family, we
dare not say, has left in this office a
cabbage head that weighs 1914 lbs. It
is Of the "allhead'' sort, and is said
to be of the finest quality. Ought to
have had a few of them at the Fair,
Mr.. Butler.
@. f. Percival, who is on the road in
the interest of his firm trying to sell
their upholstered furniture goods, re-
ports that it is almost impossible to
sell anything outside Of Vermont. In.
New Hampshire the factories r
nearly all shut down and the pros
poets r gloomy for everybody. In
Vermont the depression is not
quite as heavy and he is making some
sales.
While the business depression has
been worse almost everywhere else
than in Vermont, the manufacturers
all feel it and the merchants begin to
realize it. Fortunate it is that
farm products have sold at good pric-
es. We imagine that the only reason
why the New England market has not
been glutted with potatoes, eggs but
ter, mutton sheep and the like is the
high farmers tariff, known by one
party as the wicked Mckinley tariff.
Some of the friends of Alb. Ruggles
of San Francisco, who visited in this
vicinity with his wife and daughter
Lillian, will be pleased to know that
some of the Worlds Fair visitors saw
in the California building a beautiful,
life-size portrait, an etching, which
was the work Of Miss Lillian. That
it should find a place alongside the
work Of the California artists, is a fine
compliment to the talent of the young
lady.
Gen. F. E.Alfred Of Newport has re-
ceived the appointment Of Judge Of
Probate by Governor Fuller and an
nounces that the records and files of
the office, heretofore kept at Barton
Landing, will be removed to his office
in court house at Newport For the
present, at least, courts will be held
at Barton Village on the second Sat
urday Of each month. Mr.. Alfred pro-
poses to hold court one day in each
month at No. Troy for the accommo-
dalton of people in that section of the
county.
Some of our local horsemen were at
st. J%ohnsbury with their horses last
week, attending the races Jimmy
Mcfarland trotted the Valley Bros
horse, but found himself in a crowd
that were a little too fast for him. He
took third money, but was obliged to
