MIODLEBuRY VILLAGE.
ITS ANNUAL MEETING ON wEDNEs

ITS ANNUAL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY.
The annual meeting OF the voters OF
Middlebury village, which was held at
the town hall on Wednesday afternoon,
was a rather small and exceedingly har.
mOnious gathering. All of the old ofiic-
ers were reelected with the exception of
Water Commissioner A. j. Marshall.
whose term expired. B. b. Hope sue
ceeds him. \ tax of 30 cents on the
dollar of the grand list was voted. But
one ballot was taken and the meeting
adjourned within an hour after it had
been called to order.
George Hammond was again chosen
moderator. II. l.. Sheldon and NJ. a.
Brooks were nominated for clerk. The
ballot-F. A. Bond and j. II. Stewart,
tellers-shOwed 20 for the former and
81 for the latter. Mr.. Brooks asked to
be and was excused, and Mr.. Sheldon
was reelected by acclamation. He
thanked the voters and said all he cared
about it was that this year would end
the quarter century that he had held the
office; he should not take it again.
The old board of trustees-A. 4.
Fletcher, B. S. Beckwith. B. b. Hope,
c. A. Piper, C. NJ. Wilds, w. II. Sheldon
and II. w. Hammond-were reelected
by accamatiOn, on motion of L. NJ.
Chapman.
Il. NJ. Chapman was again made audit
or; NJ. A. Monroe, collector; G. f. Pin
ney, treasurer, and G. A. Piper, chief
engineer, all by acclamation Allan
Calhoun, nominated for chief engineer,
declined to serve in that capacity as he
did in that of water commissioner, and B.
B. Hope was given the latter Office By
acclamatiOn.
The water commissioners were IT, =
structed, on motion of j. W. Martin, to
charge greater sum than is now paid
by the railroad company.
The report of Auditor I. NJ. Chapman,
the substance of which we printed last
week, was accepted and adopted without
debate.
A. II. Langworthy thought there
should be an assistant chief engineer,
and after debate it was voted that the
trustees and the chief engineer appoint
such an official.
c. NJ. Wilds, Esq, spoke of the village
debt and of the tax. The auditors re-
port showed, he said, that it would take
Sl2, ,l3S to pay all the village owed and
meet its estimated expenses for the com
ing year. The cost of necessary I'M
plpNVulchlo 'ildt ndu W pc l1auc nON VI
never had been high, but he doubted the
wisdom of attempting to pay for them
all at once. If IA part of the outstanding,
orders were extended, a moderate tax
would provide for the rest. He accord
ingly moved, and it was voted, that the
trustees be empowered to retire $4,000 OF
the outstanding orders by the issuance
of new orders bearing per cent interest,
and that a tax of 30 per cent be raised.
The article in the warning relative tC
the electric lights for the streets
was disposed of by empowering the
trustees to make the best trade they
could for the lights. The contract under

Rev. Mr.. Kunz, the Methodist pastor
at Bristol, is i'll with measles.
The mail team from MOnbton Ridge to
Bristol, with Minnie Joslyn as driver,
ran away Thursday. When near K. w.
Meader's they collided with a team
driven by G.. Cox. Both horses were
thrown down, and Mr.. Cox, Miss Joslyn
and a passenger, who was with her,
were all thrown out, receiving severe
bruises. but no serious injuries.
The Orwell Congregational society
held its annual meeting on Saturday and
elected James Thomas, Robert G. Young
and Adrian Beckwith a prudential com
mittee for 1894. Edward +. Young and
w. c. Hack were elected members of the
permanent trust fund committee in place
of E. NJ. Wright and II. II. Young, eX-
cused. j. S. Wilcox is chairman of the
board. The expenses of the society for
1893 were unusually high-$l700. The
society voted to concur in a previous call
of the church to Rev. Benjamin Swift to
settle.

which the lights are now furnished
expires next summer. Before final ac-
tiOn was taken there was considerable
discussion. John Spencer thought the
village should own the plant and make
whatever profit there might be in the
business. Mr.. Wilds and y. NJ. Chap
man took the opposite view and believed
1t wonld be cheaper for the village to
buy what light it needed rather than try
to make it. j. w. Martin was of the
opinion that the village paid too much
for lights. Supt. Wells of the Electric
company was sure the lights were fur
nished as low as they could be afforded.
J. II. Sargent, VIM. Jackson and II. NJ.
Chapman also discussed the matter, the
latter advocating the employment of
small lights on the sides of the streets in
places now comparatively dark, like the
roadway on Main street near Mr.. But
tolph's. Adjourned.

Figures compiled by the Wool and Cot
ton Reporter are not on their face en-
couraging to wool-growers. 1t finds that
the decline in the price of fleece woods
has been on the average fully 20 per cent
since Jan. /, 1893, while pulled woods
have gone down 33 l-3 per cent. The
shrinkage is bad enough in all conscience,
but it may not br permanent, even should
the free provisions of the Wilson
bill become law. For many months the
price of wool has been down to or below
a free-wool basis. 1t is not improbable
will be an increase of price in cOnse-
quence of an Increased demand.

The Woodstock Standard has news to
the effect that "the alleged boom of Gen.
Mccullough of Bennington for governor
is apparently based upon reported un-
derstanding matured between parties
chiefly concerned at the State convention
which nominated Gov. Fuller" The
good brother of the Standard should tell
us all about this trade, provided he
knows anything for certain. Who are
the parties to the trade; what are
the terms?

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIVING.

1t isn't bad thing to have lived, is it?7
Richard NauN, aged -. I
Not for the man who has lived proper.
ly, who has been upright, reasonable
useful and cleauly. Fer such man, life
is good thing. even if it be not all mer.
riment. For men of the other kind, and
especially for liars, prOdigals. sneaks
rakes. cheats and maefactOrs. life is a
bad thing; and perhaps the worst of il
comes after they are dead New York

Senator Proctor has made a sensible
proposition relative to Utah, which
wants to come into the Union as a State.
He would annex it to the State of Ne
yada. This would give Nevada popu-
lation enough to make it a decent State,
which it isn't now, and it would also
dispose of an Oyergrown territory that is
on most accounts fairly entitled to state
hood.
