The evangelists who have been laboring
| in Barre tie past summer set bad example
by nearly coming TO blows in the post
office one evening last week. The language
they used was an, thing but becoming those
who profess what they do. Had they been
arrested for disturbing the peace, some peo-
pie would not have been sorry
Rev. S. B. Blunt has accepted call to st.
Stephens church, Miildlebury, and will
leave for that parish December / During

The Catholic fair now in progress has
been gratifying success thus far, and the
attractions for the remaining evenings of

tendance. The opera house was crowded
to its utmost capacity last Saturday even
ing when the Montpelier Military Band
discoursed choice music. II the fair is not
an unprecedented success, financially and
every other way, it will not he the fault OF
Father Brelvet, who is putting lots of hard
work into it.
George Jameson, a Scotchman who has
| been in the employ of the Vermont Granite
Company, committed suicide early last
Monday morning by drowning in the mill
pond of Wells & Lainson. He left his
| boarding place shortly after midnight, say
ing he was going to Montpelier His coat
and valise were discovered on the bank and
his body was found in the water. He had
no money and had been out of work for
some time 1t is thought that dependency
was the cause of the rash act He has a
mother and brother in Scotland, but no rela-
| tives in this country.
The state press generally has commented
| upon the brutal driving of a horse by f. II.
| Markham, VIII CHI resulted in the death of the
animal, as reported last week, and in some
instances very strong language has been
used, The Bratteboro Ph0ni1 says. edto-
rally, on the subject: "F. III. Markham of
Barre hired livery team and drove the
horse SO severely for two hours and half
that it died. Markham paid the owner $3.50,
! the value OF the horse, and has not been
| DrnaaputaI TTa Shnul1 ha odd IN Ont
| the same penalty recently inflicted upon
| Brattleboro man for a similar offense. The
law covering such cases was made to be en-
| forced, and the authorities at Barre are
| very seriously at fault. Enforce the law at
| once, aud teach human bruteS that they
cannot torture dumb brutes to death and
escape the penalty. How can the Barre au.
| thorities shut their eyes to such an offense,
and will tho people stand such dereliction
of duty?"
