A Meeting Of the State Board of Lii
brarY Commissioners

A meeting OF the State Board Of
Library Commissioners, consisting Of
S. w. Landon OF Burlington, H. f..
Rustedt of Richford, Mary L. Tit
comb of Rutland and Louise L. Bart
lett OF st. Johnsbury, was held Thurs
day at Burlington. The purpose Of
the meeting was to adopt list of
books for the different libraries of the
state to the amount OF 800 for each
town. The matter is one of great la
Dor inasmuch as many towns have had
lists already given them from differ
ent sources and the commissioners
were compelled to get these lists so as
not to duplicate any books already in
the possession OF the towns.
In all there have been lists made of
80 towns and there are several which
have not as yet complied with the reg
ulations governing the matter and
these will be considered later. The
order for the books has been submit
ted and the books will be delivered to
the towns as soon as secured. The
commissioners deserve great credit, for
the work they have done for them is
in no wise easy.

Fred c. Whiting, the Alleged Forger,
Has a Burlington Connection.

Fred G. Whiting, whose arrest oc-
CURED in Chicago, Sunday, Aug. II,
for passing forged paper, is wanted in
Boston for practically the same thing.
Whiting is about 30 years of age,
and, while in the East, was horse
dealer, shipping from different parts
of Vermont and Boston. The Herald
says that his last trip to Boston, so far
as is known, was in April of the pres
ent year, when he bought six heavy
horses Of l.. ii. Brockway, Portland
street, giving in payment check for
1878 on Burlington National Bank.
Whiting represented that the horses
were for the Burlington fire depart
ment. So far he stated the truth, as
the city paid him for them, but the
check which he had given Mr. Brock
way was returned as worthless.
1t is reported that this same fellow
is wanted in several states for passing
forged paper. He said that his home
was in northern Vermont.

Mr.. Reynolds OF New York, a rela-
tive OF Hon. E. p. George Of West
Fairlee, we understand, has interested
New York capitalists in purchasing
the undeveloped mining property
owned by himself and Mr.. George,
which adjoins the Vershire mining
property. Recent explorations by
competent mining engineers have
proved that the entire range Of hills
in that vicinity is full of rich copper
veins. 1t is years since there has been
such rush asat the present time to
get hold Of all available mining prop
erty, and if the attention OF capitalists
is turned this way, Vermont may
again retain her place in the copper
production, which only few years
ago was second in the United States.
