Mrs. Benjamin Barber, IS years of age
and mother of DR.. Barber, is very low
and no hope of recovery.
Deputy Sheriff Barber attended the
meeting of the horse thief apprehension
society in Arlington Saturday.
The Fitchburg Railroad Company is
putting up coke house here for the use
of the through east bound freights while
passing HoOsac Tunnel.
Friday last will be day long to be re-
membered by people of this village. On
that day by the order of the court, Con-
stable A. j. Merchant, assisted by Depu-
ty Sheriff Barber emptied into the gutter
all the liquor seized on the Vermont side
of the State line house at the time of the
recent raid at that place which up to
that time had long been an eyesore to
people in this section.
The stuff spilled consisted of 1872 bot
ties of lager, 2 casks of ale, l barrel of
whiskey, and half a dozen jugs full of
different kinds of liquors. For time
the air was filled with the scent that
arose as the stuff was poured out.
Quite number of people witnessed
the proceedings, and no regrets were
heard expressed. The House has been
closed since the seizure was made, and
a comparatively small amount of liquor
if any is now sold in town.
The Dugway house of this place, about
mile from the Massachusetts State
line, was raided, Saturday. The house
has been the source of much trouble of
late. Warren Barney, the proprietor,
was seen purchasing liquor in North
Adams, and the government officers were
notified. officers Barber and Merchant
of this place visited the house, and Geo.
Smith, the barkeeper, was arrested.
Warren escaped the officers, but was cap
tured by Officers Starkweather and Prin-
tie at the Massachusetts line. Smith is
wanted on the charge of stealing SIT

some delays on the road which were SO
trying to ones patience last year.
We find that many in town were led to
believe during the heated political cam
paign that the village had three quarters
of all the highway taxes raised in town.
This is entirely erroneous. The village
only has three fourtbs of the highway tax
raised in the village, the other one fourth
the town has. Our article on this ques-
ton in our last issue has, we find, given
many voters better understanding of
the question, and some are fair enough
to come out and say the village should
have the whole of the highway tax, as
many other villages do, instead of three
fourths-and pay the cost of collecting at
that. All the village wants is justice
and this she did not have until becoming
Incorporated.
Had it not been for our system OF
| water works there is no telling where
Fridays fire at the Goodell hotel barn
would have stopped, certainly it could
not have been confined to the building
in which it started; and had it not been
for the pump at the box shop we should
not have had the water. The National
Metal Edge Box Co. did this village one
of the greatest fayors possible when they
put in the pump.
The company has been severely criti-
cized at times for using the village wat or
but whether justly or not it is time for
all to stop ''kicking" and to thank them
for the inestimable benefit conferred at
this time, for it was their pump that
saved the greater portion of the village.
When the fire started the reservoir was
two feet low and when the water was
turned off at the end of an hour and a
half the reservoir had filled up one foot.
While the four lines of hose were in use
the pump just about kept the supply up
but with only two lines in use the gain
was made as stated above The pressure
with the four lines of hose on was 81
pounds. The village of Readsboro may
| justly feel proud of their fire protection
and also of their firemen who did such
heroic work. Their work shows them
to have few superiors.

When rakish young fellow go,a
astray, says an exchange, friends gather
around him in order to restore him to
the paths of virtue. Gentleness and
kindness are lavished upon him to bring
him pack to innocence and peace. No
one would ever suspect that he had sim
ned. But when poor confding girl is
betrayed, she receives the brand of So
ciety and is henceforth driven from the
way of virtue-there is no place for her
this side of the grave. Society has no
place for her, no smile of peace, no voice
of forgiveness. There is a deep wrong,
burning shame in this and fearful con-
sequences. And yet to our shame be it
said in this Christian land we boast of
humanity and kindness to women.

Thdl alarm of fire was given by the paper

on Friday last, and in ten minutes the
eng ne was placed at the pond, and in a
few minutes more stream was pouring
upon the fire. 1t was in the new addi-
ton to the Thatcher dwelling, into
which c. w. Roberts was preparing to
move, in the chamber and attic. 1t had
made but little headway as the roof is
of tin, and it was smothered, though
the damage from fire and water will
reach two or three hundred dollars.
What furniture had been moved in was
carried out, and the new papering, etc.,
was damaged. How the fire caught is a
mystery, as those at work in the house
had just left and are not able to account
for it. The engine is a good one, and
the water was thrown through 300 feet
of hose up the hill.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Senate
end OF the capitol has been the scene
CT more or less vandalism within the
last few years Less than a week ago
some one entered the closets on the
BASEMENT floor and broke several bowls,
and yesterday, or last night, the bar
her shop was robbed Of all its porta-
bles in the way of shears and razors,
while other articles were wantonly de-
stroyed. These acts have been Of but
little consequence in themselves, but
they have created some apprehensions
in the minds of the executive officials
of the Senate, who fear the vandals
may next turn their attention to the
valuable pictures and statues which
adorn the building or probably to the
archives on file in various rooms many
Of which could be reached with COM
paratively little effort, by any one who
had once gained access to the building.
There seems to be as yet no definite
theory on the part of any one in ex-
PLANTATION of the depredations, but the
officials generally consider they might
have been prevented If the capitol
police force, which numbers only six
men to the watch, had been larger.

New York, Dec. 26.-Edward r. Carter,
transfer and coupon clerk at the Nation
al Bank of Commerce, No. % Nassau
street, was arrested this afternoon as d
defaulter. Carter is charged with appro-
priating $780, of the banks money, and
it is said confessed his guilt. He is A
years Old
He lived with his wife and two child
rem, a daughter p years old and a son IL
years old, in Brooklyn. For tweuIty-nine
years Carter had been in the employ or
the bank. According to the story he told
to the police he began his populations
two years ago, at first taking only small
sums. He would say very little about
himself to the police, and maintained ST.
lence as TO what induced him to take the
money and what ne did with it,. To the
bank officials he was not so reticent, as
a statement of w. W. Sherman, presl-
dent of the bank, shows. The statement
is as follows:
'"The National Bank of Commerce has
sustained a defaIcation by its transfer
and coupon clerk, Edward r. Carter,
amounting to $4,000. Carter began as a
messenger boy. being promoted from
time 60 time, till he reached his present
position. Among his other duties he was
required to receive all pay coupons and

before their maturity. When asked TO
produce the bonds he was unable to do
so, and admitted his guilt. II was not
learned that he speculated or INDUCED IN
any vices. He claimed TO have used the
| money in his living expenses.
"'The loss, of course, is not serious one
| for the bank, which has capital OF
| So, C0OO 700 and a surplus. and undivided
profits of S. 5GO,U00. but the defalcauon IS
! none the less distressing, as Carter had

matter
