The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-05-22

this loss is comparatively small The Yer
mont Mutual lost larger sum than this in
the South Royalton fires; and in the fires at
Montpelier In 1875, it paid $50, 900 in insur-
ance. The Union Mutual will lose between
$4,000 and $4,000, and A. G. Brown & Son
had no risks in st. Albans in the burned
district.
The largest crowd of the season gathered
on the seminary campus Last Saturday after
noon, when the U. V. M Varsity and Mont
pelier Seminary baseball teams struggled
for supremacy. No one expected the home
team would win the game, and considerable
money was wagered that they would not
score. When three of the seminary team
crossed the home plate in the third inning,
the crowd went wild. No one Of the home
team was able to score after the fourth
inning. 1t was by far the best exhibition of
baseball that has been seen on the home
grounds this season. The score by innings

The ladies residing in "Happy Hollow"
seized the opportunity of Miss Mary Gam
bles removal to her new rooms, No. 7
First Avenue, to give her a surprise house
| uvo II n vu;t uho
the plan originated, opened her own house
as Meeting place, where all remained un-
til Miss Gamble went to Mrs. Leonard
LulPs where she was detained until the
ladies had taken possession of her rooms,
when Mrs. Lull was notified that her skill
in entertaining somewhat unwilling guest
was no longer required. Miss CANDLES
look Of surprise on entering her rooms was
highly appreciated by the score and more of
ladies in possession After few minutes
devoted to greetings and band.shakings, an
easy chair, a small table, and down sofa
pillow were pushed forward, and, in be-
half OF the ladies, were presented by Mrs.
II. B. Cross in one OF her happiest rhymes.
Miss Gamble was then seated in the chair,
with the cushion at her shoulders and the
table drawn up before her. Various sug-
gestions were made, comical and otherwise,
Of the uses for the different articles; also
the things for which they must not be used,
one of which was 'the cat must not lie on
the sofa.pillow." But the end was not yet,
for
"They may sherbet cold. when the weather
Is colder,
Or tea when the weather is hot
| But wherever women gathered together
The goodies are never forgot"
So of course Mrs. Colton's plan had included
refreshments, which were served and en-
joyed, especially when it became known
that the invasion had prevented Miss Gam
ble's having supper. The oldest guest
passed unnoted, but the youngest, little
Miss Jacobson rwo months of age, received
her full share of attention. All agreed that
the evening had been happy one as the
good-nights were spoken.
