j. A. KELToN let a horse last Thursday
TO some men who were at work for A. w. Slo-
cum on the creamery building at Middlesex.
Instead of putting the horse in the barn, as
any sensible or humane person would have
done, they hitched it to a tree in the
woods near by and left it for the day The
animal doubtless became restive at its long
confinement without food or water, and in
some way threw itself. Either its neck was
broken or it strangled, at all events, the
horse was dead when the men returned
from their days work.
If the weather is pleasant tomorrow,
the excursion to Fort Ticonderoga, N. Y,
under the auspices Of Vermont Lodge
OF Odd Fellows, bids fair to be the largest
the staunch Reindeer has carried for
many a day. No finer trip could be made,
and the fare is unusually low. The train
will leave Montpelier at 7 o. sharp. Large
delegations from North and East Mont
| pelier, Marshfeld, Cabot, Plainfield and
| Worcester have sent word that they wanted
tickets, and very large number from Barre
and Montpelier will surely go along.

Methodist Seminary will occur next Mon

THE Northfield Ne,cs of last week has the
following in regard TO the member of the
republican state committee from Washing
ton county: &c Hon. j. w. Brock, the pres
ent member Of the republican state COM
mittee from Washington county, has added
material strength to that organization. He
| is popular and able republican and prac-
| tical business man whose Judgment can al
ways be relied upon in political as well as
business matters. So far as we know, there
| is general desire that he be retained on
the committee for another term, and we
trust he may be induced to remain there.
Certainly no better man could be selected
for the responsible position"
