There was a noticeable lack of applause
at the recent excellent concert by Leitsing-
er's orchestra. Such an objectionable
breach of etiquette is simply augmentative
of the natural but unjust charge which has
already been made that Putney audiences
are totally incapable of the higher musical
appreciation. The program was carefully
selected, tastefully arranged and artistically
executed, and if we do appreciate such pro-
grams then it is our duty to show our APP
probation by some outward manifestation
of approval, if for no other reason than the
encouragement of the performance.
Did you ever see a public building that
had not been cleaned for % years? That
is precisely the condition which our town
hall was in previous to the repairs which
our present selectmen have made. Such
nastiness and filth as was inclosed by its
walls was disgrace to the town. Every
nook and corner has been washed and
scrubbed, and what a difference in the
odor! Warnings have been placed in diff
ferent parts of the hall and any one who is
so wanting in decency and self respect as
to disregard them will be promptly and
summarily dealt with.
John McCloskie, employed by James

money. Justice Wilkins was notified and
captured the thieves in Brattleboro Friday.

season occurred at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. II. Lazell Wednesday evening, Nov.
q, when about sixty of their friends in
vaded their home to remind them that it
was the 30th anniversary of their marriage.
The gathering was a complete surprise to
Mr.. and Mrs. Lazel. Among those who
were present were the Rev. G. f. Arms
and family, recently returned from South
America as mission teachers, and their
presence was much enjoyed, as Mr.. Arms
formerly lived in Mr.. Lazelrs family for
many months while pastor of the church
in this place. He made some fitting re-
marks recalling pleasant memories of the
past. Mr.. Lazell responded in few well
chosen words, thanking the friends for the
token of respect shown them by their pres
ence on that occasion and extending to one
and all hearty welcome. After partaking
of bountiful collation. the friends dis
persed, having spent pleasant and profit

PUTNEY.


The exceeding brightness of Tuesday
mornings northeastern sky attracted the
attention of several of our citizens, who at
once concluded that there was in progress
fire in that part of the town and later re-
ports confirmed their belief. At about ,.
or between 1 and ) o'clock, Herbert San
ders, who for the past year has occupied
Ira Smiths house on the old Westminster
stage road went up stairs in the barn, with
lantern in hand, for the purpose of feeding
his horses, and stepped upon board which
covered the opening over one of the man
gers but which, unfortunately, rested upon
only one side of the opening, and as soon
as he put his weight upon it, it flew up and
struck his lantern, hurting it into the hay,
and at the same instant let him into the
manger below; a very unfavorable posi-
ton to be in as will readily be seen. The
hay, Of which there was about two tons,
was almost Immediately mass of flames
and all thoughts of eNtinguishing them
had to be abandoned. Mr. Sanders loosed
the two horses and two cattle, which were
in the barn, and then turned his attention
toward saving the children, nine in num-
Der, and the household effects. Most Of
the furniture in one room and everyday
clothing enough to dress the children was
all that was saved. Mr.. Sanders said in
an interview with the correspondent that
his winters supply of provisions was all in,
including fifty bushels of potatoes, ard that
in the pocket of his best vest was so in
money, which was burned. There was
also burned a tool chest containing SO
worth of tools; five beds and bedding
worth over $50; one new chamber suit,
stoves, crockery, etc. There was an insur-
ance of 5000 onIthe buildings, and $500 on
the furniture, through Sherman II Jenne.
