Three horses, a mare and sucking
colt and a threeyear old colt, be-
longing to w. I. Robinson, were killed
in the G. A. Abbott pasture by light
ming few days since. They were
valuable animals and the loss is con-
siderable.

from the new depot up toward the
Mrs. Skinner place on May street,
and James Cassidy has built an earth
walk to his new house on the south
side of the street, much to the con-
venience of the people in that part of
the village.
Two men from Caledonia county
came into this village one day recent
ly in a hilarious and drunken condi-
ton and managed to run into Burt
Blake's team, doing quite an injury to
his carriage. They were hauled up
by the States Attorney and paid some
pretty heavy fines. One of them was
a Kelley Cure graduate, who had
gone back to his cups again.
We compliment Bro. Stone Of the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian on the large
vote he received in town caucus for
representative. The only misfortune
about it was the fact that it was just
too small. Well, next time, perhaps.
The nominee is John G. Clark, treas
urer of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co., for
merly cashier in the First National
Bank and a man of excellent repute.
At recent meeting held at Barton
Landing, an association, called the
Barton Teachers Association, was
formed for this town, with the fol-
lowing officers: Pres, FL. j. Stannard;
vice Pres, A. D. Virgins; Sec, Abby
G. May; Treas, Clara NJ. Austin.
Meetings to be called by Supt. j. Ell.
Bartlett. Next meeting to be held at
Barton Academy on Saturday, Sept.

The check list shows that there are
about 800 legal voters in this town.
Allowing for unavoidable absences
from the polls, 500 votes ought to be
cast at the coming election. Two
years ago the town cast 376, larger
number than any town in the county
except Newport, which cast Ali. The
republicans Of the county cast 1862;
the democrats, 843, and the prohibi-
tionists 81 votes in 1892.
Steven Horner,a fireman on the mail
train Of this r. r., whose home was in
Bronze, P. O., recently went home on
a vacation; "a ewevenings afterwards
he was found in the railroad yard of
the G. P. Ry. in Montreal with his
legs severed, dying shortly afterwards
1t is now feared that he was foully
the track in an unconscious state.
About thirty railroad men went to
Bronze yesterday to attend his tuner

III. T. Seaver has made improve
ments about his store which will add
much to it's convenience and give
him better opportunity to display
his goods. He has fitted up the bar
Der shop rooms for crockery depart
ment, and is showing large line of
crockery, lamps, glassware, etc. He
projects his office room on to back
piazza, giving him more room in the
store and a convenient Office room.
Mr.. Seaver has large stock of goods
in all the lines Of his trade and has
wide and constantly increasing range
of patronage.
The contest over the election of
town representative in this town
promises no particular excitement.
Neither of the men nominated have
personal enemies to stir up opposition
to themselves, and there will be no
boiling unless the unforeseen occurs.
Hence there is no local stimulant to
force out the voters. If they come it
will be on party issues, and there
