THE election returns, published else
where, have been compiled with great care,
and, while they may and doubtless do con-
tain some inaccuracies, they are substan-
italy correct. The WATCHMAN sent postal
cards to the town clerks in a majority of
/ the towns in the state, requesting the name
| OF representative and governor vote From
these and other reliable sources the returns
published are made up, and can be relied
! on as a practically complete and authentic
! story of the result.
WE were reminded by David Hobart of
Berlin that eighty years ago yesterday the
| battle of Plattsburg was fought on Lake
| Champlain. Itwas a quiet Sunday morning
| in Montpelier, and the booming Of the can
| non could be distinctly heard. Several from
| this vicinity started for the scene of conflict,
but did not reach there until the fighting
was over. Mr.. Hobart has a fund Of facts
| obtained from eye-witnesses that we should
be glad to publish did space permit.
W. E. ADAMS returned last Saturday,
! after an absence of six weeks most of
| which was spent abroad. He is looking hale
| yarns of his trip through the British Isles
and on the continent. He landed in Boston
last Thursday, coming across in the Buf-
falo," of the Wilson Line. Mr.. Adams had
as compagnon de Uoydge Mrs. Elizabeth b.
! Custer who was returning after several
months of travel and rest in foreign lands.
THE announcement that Richard Golden
will appear at Blanchard's opera house next
Friday evening in that popular New Eng
land play, " Old Jed Prouty," will surely
attract large audience. Mr.. Golden is
supported by tirst-class company, and
next Friday night will be the last time this
play will be presented to a Mont pelier au.
dience before the year 1900. Crowded
houses everywhere give evidence that Mr..
Golden's play has lost nothing of its pop
ularity.
A SPAN of horses owned by Addison Peck
of East Montpelier became frightened by a
! locomotive, while standing in the yard of
the Central Vermont railroad last Saturday,
and ran up State street at a terrific rate of
speed. They were given the right of way,
although there were several narrow es-
capes as the street was full of teams and
people at the time. At the head of State
street one of the horses slipped and fell on
the concrete crossing, and they were stopped
in their mad career without any damage
being done.

late Lucy Stone, one of the pioneers in the
agltatlOu LOT tue OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF WON en-,

DIR. A. E. PADDOCK, who lectured to the
ladies last Thursday afternoon in the Uni
tartan vestry on the wonderful properties of
the goods he advertises, evidently has faith
in them, as he ate his soap and drank his
shampoo preparation to show the ladies'
that they are harmless 1t is said the doc
tor thinks the clergy of this town do not
take kindly to him, and that he is indignant
at one of them, because, when one OF his
parishioners consulted him as to the adyisa-
bility of her investing S400 in the manicure
art with the doctor, he strongly advised her
to keep her money.
w. HENRY WORCESTER of Lowell, Mass,
has been for the past week a guest Of the
Misses Camp on School street. Mr.. w or

father of the late L. P.iJewett His mother
was the first wife of the late Zebina q.
Camp Mr.. Worcester found few of the

Montpelier, and was much impressed with
the strides the capital of the state has made
toward metropolitan life, He still retains
his interest in local affairs, as was evidenced

CAPTAIN j. H. MIAMs of St, Albans, the
+; longtime efficient and popular othclal re-
porter of the house, was in town last Mon
3 day securing his quarters for the coming
session of the legislature. While other
! good men may turn longing eyes toward
l the position that Captain Mimms has SO
/ long held, it is probable that no one will
, make an attempt TO secure II IN opposlnol
; to the present incumbent An expert stenog
5 rapher, and by long experience in the
+ work thoroughly acquainted with every de
g tail of officially reporting the proceeding
of the house, Captain Mimms has ex
i, ceptonal qualifications for the position
I, that it would be hard to find in any new
: candidate.
