The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-06-06

George ID. Cutler, while at work in the
woods one day OF last week, received a
thump on the head from the handle of a
cant-hook which was hitched on to the log
upon which he was chopping. He was rem
dered insensible, for just how long he does
not know. with the assistance OF Charles
| Mears, who was at work near him, he
| reached his home in rather dazed state OF
mind but he came out of it nearly as good
as new in a few hours.
The North Montpelier correspondent of
the Argus aud Patriot evidently, by the tone
| of his recent communication to that paper,
| can extract warmth from an iceberg IT, after
all the state and municipal elections of the
past year, he can get comfort from the iso-
lated democratic victory in the Ohio dis
trict by greatly reduced majority We
have everything ready, however, to catch
the poor fellow when the tidal wave OF
next fall sweeps him off his feet.
From the weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth " about Plainheld two
weeks ago, IL would seem that little item
which appeared in the Argus and Patriot of
that week in respect to Fred Titles horse
had caused grievance hard to be forgiven,
inasmuch as our boys directly received i'm
perative invitations to either retract said
item or appear on the next Tuesday after
noon to test the SAVIOR OF Plaintield speed.
The boys here knew nothing Of the objec-
tionabe item until it came out in the above
mentioned paper, but felt that they should
uphold the truthful statements made by
fellow citizen. They therefore appeared at
Painfield on the afternoon stated with what
little speed they possessed, and were very
much disappointed to find that the Plain
field steppers were evidently " not in it," as
they failed to materialize, so on that &C.
count our boys were compelled to return
home without encounter. We think the
bows are the owners OF some very fair road
sters, and for the benefit of their Plainfeld
friends they will match their horses against
any horse raised and owned in that town, to
be driven by their owners on the road or
track for fun or money.
