A PROVOKING error crept into our
Tuesdays issue, in that what was writ
ten Saturday" referring to the liquor
raid, read Sunday in print. In an item
last Friday, credit should have been
gwen, also, to Trenor Gregg who cap
tured the coOns spoken of, instead of
John II. Davis. Gregg got part of the
other game. as well.
The burning of W. II. Hodges mill
and grain elevator at WilliamstOwn was
distinctly visible at Bennington. 1t was
judged to be not more than four or five
miles away. The glare of the blazing
structure cast an immense semi-crcle on
the sky, about ten degrees above the
horizon. Just midway of the semi circle
was tall, slender column of pure white
light that protruded through and far
above the red reflection. OF the hun
dreds who saw it none could recall fire
of such peculiar appearance.
THE improved sleighing brought out
many people Thursday with their new
rigs, and in the afternoon Main street
presented quite an animated sight
Among the most conspicuous rigs was
that of William II. Graves. The sleigh,
which is one of the old fashioned three
seated sleighs, with long runners shod
by iron that was hammered ont by hand,
has been newly upholstered and painted.
1t was for number of years used by the
| late Hon. Luther Il Graves, and yester-
day was its first appearance on the
| streets in a number of years. Another
handsome turnout was that of L. w.
Bradford, which attracted much atten-
ton.
THE fire alarm was sounded soon after
o'clock Thursday morning at Hoosick
Falls, and the flames. which had gained
a good start, could be easily seen and To-
Gated from all parts of the town. The
| fire was found to have originated in the
residence of Louis Pincus, on Church
street, and notwithstanding the prompt
service of the steamer company, hose
and hook and ladder companies, the
! flames gained quite Roadway, but two
streams very soon put out the flames.
The south end of the building was com
pletely gutted with heavy loss of fur
niture. The roof was also burnt through.
! The residence of Chas. c. Spencer, in
close proximity, was also sCOrched. The
! origin of the fire is not known.
LOUIS EvERINGHAM and Susie Potter
eloped from here Tuesday evening, and
went to Hoosick, n. Y, where they
were married by Rev. Marvin of the
Baptist church. They went there as no
license is required in that State, and the
parents of both opposed the marriage,
and her people had arranged to have her
go to Grand Rapids, Mich, Wednesday.
1t has apparently been case of pure
love from the beginning of the acguain
lance, which was last August. Evering-
ham is only 10 years of age, but is well
spoken of by all who know him. At
present he is employed at the Putnam.
She is % years of age, and was adopted
from home in Burlington by Doctor
II. j. Potter and wife, who have been as
faithful and kind to her as if she were
their own daughter. The bridal couple
are at DR.. Potter's.

Do the rumsellers pay for protection?
