the crime and the previous record OF the |

THE Exchange Hotel has again changed
hands. The new proprietors, e. &c. Ross
and j. j. Hyde of Middlebury, took charge
of the hotel on Thurs lay, having leased it
for term Of four years. That the new
firm will do an excellent business is evil
dent from the manner in which all their
former boarders have returned, with many
others. On Sunday the firm issued invita-.
tions to number of townspeople, and spe-
cial efforts were made to please the guests.
The variety OF the S inday bill of fare has
seldom been equaled in Vermont, and it is
evident that the Exchange is to be a credit
to the town.

IT is well known that there is a growing
demand on all sides for large bust oess
block, needed by various firms and the
Young Mems Christian Association. With
this situation before the public, it would
seem that no better Investment could be
made by the coming city of Mo ntpeler than
the erection of a modern city hall, on what
is now KIN ,wn as "Haymarket Square"
Such building could be constructed in a
way that would furnish not only rooms for
city business, but ample accommodations
for busins ss firms and secret societies 1t
is estimated that the income received from
rental of certain parts of the building
would be large interest on the money in
vested.
