"A Bold Robbery.

Last Thursday the quiet people Of
Georgia Plain were startled by the re-
port OF robbery, Of two valises con-
tanning notes, securities and valuable
papers, besides S52l.92 in currency Of
all denominations, amounting to about
$4,000. There were 800 in gold. 1t
seems that last Thursday the Misses
Sarah and Mary Goodwin, spinsters,
who are probably over sixty years old,
had sheep shearing in barn little
way from their house. Returning un-
expectedly, they saw the door to the
house unbolted and Charles and Hem
ry Densmore standing in a doorway
with valise at their feet. Taken by
surprise, they did not know how to
explain their presence there only by
saying that two tramps came along
and entered the house, whom they
frightened away. This story met
with a cold reception by the ladies.
However, they were permitted to stink
away, leaving the valise behind them,
and went over to Judge G. A. Hotch-
kiss and told the same story to him.
The Judge told them to hurry after
the tramps, and at the same time sent
word to States Attorney Isaac n.
Chase. There is as yet no clue to the
whereabouts OF the Densmores.

vermont's Summer Schools.

Superintendent OF Education Ma
son S. Stone has been instrumental
in arranging a series Of summer
schools in Vermont that viii undoubt-
eddy be largely patronized, especially
BY those expecting to teach. Summer
schools will be held at the following
places, beginning on dates given:
Barton, July s;>Morrisville, July s;
Bethel, July 30; Brandon, July %;
Essex Junction, July 20; Enosburgh
Falls, July 20; st. Johnsbury, July
30. Each summer school is to contin.
ue two weeks, and at same rates.
Board, Sc for the term, $3.50 for a
single week; tuition, 81 for the term,
1928 for single week. Convention
rates will be given on railroads.
There is an interim of one week be-
tween the first two and the last five
caused by the law requiring teachers
examinations to be held during the
last week in July. The projectors
have been seriously embarrassed in
seeking skilled workers, those who can
teach teachers how to teach the COM
mon school branches.
A number of the prominent educa-
tors of the state will be employed.
Among those from outside the state
are State Agents A. w. Edison, G. 7.

Snake stories from Fair Haven.

The rattlesnake season can now be
said to be fairly OH in the neighborhood
Of Fair Haven, says the Fair Havcn
Era. Some thirty rattlers have already
been captured by the Reeds and How
ards on the hill just north OF the town.
They capture them for the bounty OF
81 each. Doom Howard is an ex-
nert snake handler and is apparently
without fear Of his snakeship. The
story is told of him that one day he
saw two black snakes, each about seven
feet long, summing themselves by the
side Of the road He grabbed each
just back of the head and they wound
themselves around his arms, and with
the unnatural bracelets he walked into
the town, much to the amazement and
fright Of the beholders.

A Fire Bug Trapped.

rested recently on the charge of arson
by Sheriff Peabody and other officers,
and has been jailed at Rutland. It is
charged that Eubar and woman,
said to be his wife, about four weeks

tents, belonging to Mrs. Allard. The
motive Of the crime was to ''get even"
with Mrs. Allard, who, they thought,
had done them an injury. The wom-
an living with Eubar was once the
wife Of Edward Leno OF Ripton. She
and Eubar went up to Ripton not
long ago and abducted Leno's child.
The James r. Wood detective
agency Of Boston worked up the case
and was not long in gaining the con-
fidence Of Eubar and bringing about
confession in room which had pre-
vlously been arranged for the occasion,
and in which several citizens of Bran
don had been secreted for the pur-
pose of hearing the confession.
Eubar was Immediately arrested
and taken to Rutland, where, waving
an examination, he YVES put under

Vermont Press Excursion Abandoned

There win be no summer excursion
of the Vermont Press association this
year. owing to the numerous attrac-
tons, meetings and conventions Of the
season, and the difficulty OF arranging
a date for the trip that did not con-
fiict with engagements OF the menu
bers Of the association. The matter
of an annual excursion was made OPP
tional with the executive committee
under the amended constitution adopt
ed last year. The new constitution
provides for winter business meeting,
and ii is proposed to make the meet
ing of 1895 notable one. The pro-
gramme will probably include an adj
dress by some distinguished member
Of the profession, and a banquet. 1t
is the purpose of the executive COM
mittee to devote day to the discus
sion Of matters OF interest to publish
ers and printers.
