10 Gardner, fellow who has caused
some serious doubts In the minds Of some of
our merchants, was arrested on Monday by
Sheriff Graves, charged with the larceny OF
full suit Of clothes from George Burnham.
The suit was found in the cellar OF the
house where he lodged, thus furnishing
sufficient evidence to lodge him in Jail at
Montpelier, pending an examination. The
man has played several sharp tricks in the
village, but has certainly gone one step too
far, and will probably pay the penalty
which he richly deserves.
The fifth anniversary Of the marriage OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey A. Graves was cell
ebrated in pleasant manner last Monday
evening. Owing to the illness of Mark
Moody, the celebration was held in the Odd
Fellows Hall, where the party assembled,
and made complete surprise for the un-
suspecting couple. A pleasant evening
was enjoyed by all and light refreshments
were ser we'd. The presents were numerous
and inexpensive. A feature of the evening
was the reading of letter to the couple
from an old friend, and the bright allusion
to one Of Waterbury's lonesome young men
was appreciated by all but himself. The
party broke up at an early hour, leaving the
best OF wishes for the future Of Mr.. and Mrs
Graves.
