THE game OF base ball played on the SEM
mary campus, Monday afternoon between
the V. NJ. s. and Goddard teams was broken
up at the end of the fourth inning by rain,
when the score stood 10 to 10. The God
dard boys were very anxious to catch the
six o'clock train for Barre, as they desired
to attend the Mary Howe concert in the
evening, and, rather than play longer in
the rain, consented to the game being for
feited to V. NJ. S.
GEORGE STIcKNEY, who lived near Berlin
Pond, committed suicide early last Friday
morning by drowning himself in the pond.
Mr.. Stickney was sixty-three years old, and
for many years has been suffering with con-
sumption. His wife died about two years
ago, and since that time he has lived alone
most of the time. 1t was evidently de-
liberate attempt at self-destruction, as the
water was not deep enough to fully cover
the body where it was found.

evening at his home in East Montpelier Of

working young man, and the main support
OF aged parents. He leaves a widow and
four children. His funeral was held from
his late home last Monday afternoon.

sisted by Charles +. Lowe, who sang a solo
which touched every heart.
