A. E. AtwOOd's BrattleborO souvenir
calendar for 1896 will be out early next
week, and will be sold by Florence Thorn
and w. s. Stearns as canVassers. The
calendars will contain views of Brattleboro
and other Connecticut valley scenery, and
will equal its predecessors in artistic excel
lence.
Many people have been attracted to the
home of Miss Helen Emerson on Oak
street this week by the exhibition and
sale, on Tuesday and Wednesday, of hand
painted china. The great variety of arti-
cles and the exquisite work upon them
were feast to the eyes. With the excep-
ton of small exhibit of class work, the
collection, displayed adyantageously in the
two parlors, was Miss Emerson's own
work, artistic and dainty without excep-
ton. Both as an exhibition and a sale it
was a success.
The annual meeting of the Brattleboro
East society Congregational was held
Wednesday evening. The report of the
treasurer showed small balance on hand,
with all bills paid, and affairs in every re-
spect in a satisfactory condition. The ag-
gregate amount of the expenses the past
year were about $1,000. These officers
were chosen: Clerk, Lewis Gregg; trustees,
George G. Averill, S. W. Kimball, L. F.
Adams, George II. Clapp, e. d. Whitney;
treasurer, George G. Averill; auditor, II.
II. Thompson.

a Pouch stolen at the Railroad station
and Rihed Of Its Contents---SuspieIon
Rests upon Three strangers.
A bold robbery of the mails was com
mitted last night at the railroad station, a
pouch intended for the 1910 traiR forth
being taken and rifed of its contents. The
pouch was made up at the post-office at 8
o'clock and was then given as usual to Fred
Dunklee, the .lriver Of the baggage wagon.
He carried it to the baggage room at the
station, and at the regular time for the
train placed it on a truck and drew the
truck out under the electric light, where
the mail clerk gets the pouch regularly.
The train was u minutes lite and Dunk
lee went into the station to ask Night
Operator Boyden the report from the train.
The weather being extremely cold Dunk
lee remained in the station about 10 min
utes. When he came out the pouch was
gone. He notified Postmaster Childs Of
the loss as soon as possible and the latter
summoned Chief Of Police Hall, but during
this time the train had arrived and started
north. Officers Turner, Worden and Will
son were summoned to work on the case,
and telegram was sent TO Bellows Falls
with hope of stopping the thieves in case
they had gone in that direction. Tele-
grams were also sent to Greenfield, Spring
field, Boston and other places.
About ! o'clock the officers found the
pouch near the storehOuse opposite the
freight depot and behind cars standing on
the eastern side track. The bottom of the
pouch had been cut open and all the letters,
with the exception of - or 20, torn open.
The letters and their contents were scat
tered about on the ground and inside the
car, through the open door of which the
thieves evidently passed.
There were probably 400 letters in the
pouch and about 200 that were opened and
thrown way were recovered. Those that
were kept are supposed 10 have contained
drafts, checks and money orders, etc, to
the value of 5000. About half dozen
checks that were probably overlooked
were found in the letters thrown away.
Nobody was seen about the railroad sta
tion who could have committed the rob
berry, but it is evident that more than one
man was concerned in ii. Suspicion rests
upon three strangers who were alb Jut town
yesterday and who spent some time at the
breweries. Two left there in the after
noon and the other in the evening. Ii was
found this forenoon that three men board
ed the train here without tickets, paying
their fare to Bellows Falls to the conduct

Per cent Of alcohol
BY volume

A sample of Eddy's chop beer taken
from one of the lots seized at the raid of
November showed AT per cent alcohol
by volume, as analysed by Mr.. Farmer of
Boston.
The difference in the alcoholic strength
of the different samples is accounted for
apparently by the fact that when first
made the beer is light in alcoholic strength,
but this strength increases with increase
of ace.

The racing board of the League of
American Wheelmen will recommend the
abandonment of the semi-professional form
of bicycle racing as exemplitied by class B
riders. The class was created TO relieve
the amateurs from competing with men
who were employed by makers of wheels
and who, while carried on pay rolls as
statesmen, clerks, ETC., were, in reality, do
ing nothing but going around the country
racing to advertise the wheels of their en-
ployers. The fast class men express
themselves willing to become professionals.

lected by Casper W. Whitney of Harper's
