The verdict in the Holloway-Chase case
was great surprise to the people in tbs
! section While it is generally believed
! that Holloway came to his death through
the doings of one person, or by the aid of
| accomplices in which several were engaged,
| the proof was of that uncertain and in
tangible character which made a convic-
ton very difficult. Seemingly, if one was
responsible more than another, it was Mrs.
Holloway. It was very bad case to handle
! in the court.
| The editor attended the meeting of the
| Vermont Press Association at Burlington
last week. The gathering was business af-
fair, very useful in the discussion of mat
| tiers pertaining to the craft. The Burling-
ton press gave the Association fine ban
quet and treated it most handsomely. An
invitation was extended, which will prob
ably be accepted, for the holding of the
summer meeting in this place next June,
with Willoughby and Memphremagog as
excursion points.
The lecture course had very flattering
opening last Thursday evening at the en-
tertainment given by the Festival Concert

a violinceIloist of worldwide reputation,
was sufficient in itself to insure a good
house. He has been on the stage for about
fifty years, and his cello is one that he has
used for forty-four years. 1t is needless
to say that his playing was Of the highest
order. The reader, Miss Hennigar, charm
ed the audience and she was heartily en-
cored. Her selections were new and well
rendered. The singing by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bartlett was very fine and much enjoyed
by all. The accompanist, Miss Ida Low,
was unable to be present, and her place
was very acceptably filled by Miss Louise
e. Watt. The house was well filed,
large number from adjoining towns being
present. Our tOWnspeOple showed by
their presence that they were anxious to
do their part to make the lecture course
