Granite State Provident Association.

This association is doing about as
large a building and loan business as
any similar organization in the coun-
try. 1t has branches in "A Of the states
OF the union. Hitherto it has sustained
good reputation. Recently, however,
the bank examiner for the state of
Maine reported unfavorably regarding
the business methods and solvency of
the association. This has caused a great
deal of excitement among the
shareholders. Col. Fred e. Smith of
Montpelier, state inspector of finance,
says that an examination of the asso-
citation is being conducted and that a
report will be made early in October.
This association has branch in Bel
lows Falls, j. e. Byrnes being treas.
urer. About 100 shares are held here
Some of these who bought shares be-
came alarmed and sold at big dis
count. Az soon as Col. Smith makes
his report these shareholders will know
where they are at.
A meeting of the bank commissioners
of the New England states was held in
Boston Monday. A special to the Man
chester Union says: "There seemed to
be decided difference of opini on
among experts as to the solvency of
this big institution, and question in
the minds of several bank examiners
as to whether or not it is advisable to
allow it to keep on doing business i'm
their respective states"
AT the conference the bank commits
sloners of the several states decided to
make separate reports. The New
ID hampshire commissioners give out
their report, which was adopted in its
entirety by the commissioner of Con-
necticut. The Vermont commissioner
agrees with the New Hampshire com.
mis-ioners that the association is SOL
vent, but on account of illness, desires
time to consider the details of his re-
port.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

The Poole & Parsons Co. put this
play on the stage here Monday even
ing and were greeted with good sized
house. The play is very ancient and
as decentralization was never a success
in the best sense Of the word; it was
thought some years ago that it had had
its run. The company appearing here
was of average merit only. Topsy and
the Tennessee jubilee singers were good,
but not much eau be said in praise of
the other characters.

SaXton's River would be of much bene-
fit to both places. At the latter place
is located Vermont Academy, one of
the most fourishing educational insti-
buttons in the state. The distance be-
tween the two places is six miles. The
grade of the projected road is an easy
one, and there is ample water power
in the vicinity to furnish the necessary
electric power to operate the road"

While the game was characterized
by several rocky plays and was far
from being errorless, it was exciting
from beginning to end because the OPP
posing teams were very evenly matched.
The first half was played near the mid
die of the field, neither side being able
to advance very far toward the goals.
In the second half the Bellows Falls
boys started out with rush and the
ball was forced to Vermont Academy's
seven yard line. Excitement ran riot.
1T looked as if Bellows Falls would
surely get touchdown, but alas long
kick sent the ball far down the field
and bad tumble gave it to V. A. In
the last few minutes V. A. took brace
and sent their big men, Newell and
Therrien through the line for repeated
gains; but when time was called both
teams were not far from the centre of
the field.
The features of the game were the
fine runs of Coffin, and the tackling of
Clarke and Bacon. Bidwell had never
played game before, and Bellows is
deaf and dumb. Twenty and Is min
ute halves were played; Ellis and Truax
referee and umpire.
Neither side scored, but the V. AIS
were outplayed at several stages of the
game. If, however, the local team ex-
poets to hold its own it must depend
less On its line plays and more on end
plays and punts. But in view of the
fact that this team never played together
before, some of the players hardly
knowing the signals, too much cannot
be said in praise of the work done by
the Bellows Falls boys.

and he was for the time being
alone, with none of the other mel
even in sight. He was nervous
and experienced vague tear OF
impending danger. Just then h.
heard footsteps, and looking up
saw Jane coming toward him. She
came quite near and stopped be-
tween where he was and the woods
that skirted the mountain taI
away. She did not speak nor even
look at him. Her eyes were turn
ed in the direction of the woods.

would speak to the girl and ask
what she was looking for there,
but at that moment he heard
Joaquln's voice nging up the
river, aud his heart gave a great
bound of Joy as he turned to look
for him, Almost simultaneous the
report of a gun rang out uppn the
air, a shrill scream pierced his ears
and Jane tOttered and fell almost
at his leet. 1t required no examinA
tiOn to see that she was shot, anA
filled with terror Dan tenderly
caught her in his arms with al
possible haste and bore her toward
the camp. Joaquin overlook him
on the way, and together they
cIrried her into the cabin gently
laid her upon their bunk. Two or
three other miners came In about
that time, ,and 1t was only the work
of few seconds to open her clOtn
ing sufficiently to show the wOnnd
where the bullet had pierced her
breast. They tried to stanch the
flowing blood, and did all In their
power to relieve her, but 1t was
plain that she could live only a
short tlme-perhaps a few mo
ments.

asked in a low vOic who did il.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The boys have got pretty good
start with their foot ball playing, but
there is still one great obstacle in the
south part of town that will have tC
be overcome before much progress
can be made.
The mumps are still devastating
the High School. Misses Hobart and
Swearingen and Messrs. Piester and
Brewer are the victims since our last
report.
A contest in arithmetic between
the various grades of the High school
took place yesterday. We send this
to the press too early to report results.
A test in spelling took place last
Friday afternoon. We were not pres
emit but were informed that every one
of the words ended with the syllable
coed or seed. Such being the case,
the spelling could not have been 9th
erwise than seedy.
The pupils OF the ninth grade have
been practicing diligently for the rhe-
torical exercises which take place
next Friday evening the 18th.
Hurrah Our rank for last week
was 4. This is the highest rank we
have haG this year and we think we
have right to feel proud of it.
Mr. George Cochran, former stu
dent o. this school, paid us pleasant
visit Monday morning.
We regret to report that one OF the
bows in the High school whispered so
much that it gave him stiff neck.
The ninth grade met Tuesday even
ing and elected Mr.. Taylor President,
to fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Mr.. Cozine. The retiring
president has performed all the duties
of his Office faithfully and promptly
and it is with regret that the ninth
grade accept his resignation.

Best Varieties of Small Fruits and
their Cultivation.
Paper read by u. Chase be fore the Horticul-
tural society March S, 1895
Another year of observation has
given me no cause to change my mind
in regard to varieties. One thing we
should always bear in mind, and that
is, our climate. We do not need some
thing that will stand the Arctic win
tiers, but what we must have is a
plant that will live and bear fruit in
our dry hot summers, and 1 shall try
and confine myself to such varieties
as think will do this.
In making our selections much de-
ponds on what we want. Commence
ing with the
STRAWBERRIES.
If you want plenty of fruit and are
not particular about the size or quail
ity plant the Crescent" with enough
staminates to fertilize it. If you want
better fruit and plant that roots
deep Giving where many other kinds
die,) and will bear more fruit to the
plant than any other variety ever
saw, plant "Parker's Early" If you
want very large berries, plant "Jes-
sle'' or "Bubach, No. s." but if you
want the largest of all and of the
highest quality, plant "Trimbrell"
and Marshall" The MARSHALL"

SO a dozen. There are other good
varieties. but have perhaps mention

WHEN SPRING COMES
81 Recommend Pe-ru-na TO All Suffers
Says Editor w. T. Powell, of CIar-
ington, Ohio.

SAYS Editor w. Il. POWeII, Oh Clar-
ington, Ohio.
w. II. Powell, editor of the indie
pendent of Darlington, Ohio, writes
that he was taken sick with bronchitis
and catarrhal fever, head was in ter.
rible condition, lungs were badly af
iected being so tight and sore he
could hardly breathe, and coughed al.
most necessarily. For two months
tried local physicians, took cough
medicines and other medicines. Took
three bottles of Pe-ru-na and was en-
tirely cured.
1t is needless to attempt to give on
ly the vaguest outline of the wonder
full success which Pe-ru-na has met
with in the cure Ofcatarrh. This sue
cess is entirely due to the fact that
Pe-ru-na eradicates the disease from
the system, instead of temporarily
relieving some disgre9able symptom.
Not only is catarrh in all stages and
varieties cured promptly, but also
colds, coughs, bronchitis, lagrippe,
catarrhal dyspepsia, ALI yield, surely
and permanently, to the curative vir-
tues of Pe-runa.
AS spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a
neverfailing remedy. 1t cleanses the
blood throufih digestion, and gives
tones to the whole systOm by increas-
ing the nutritive value of the food &.
"Spring fever" as it is sometimes
called, which produces a tired out,
sleepy feeling, and inability to do
much mental or physical work, is the
result of sluggist digestion. and no
blood medicine will be of any use
whatever unless it is able to rectify
the impaired digestion. The great
popularity that Pe.ru-na has is due to
the fact that in all such cases it at
once corrects digestive arrangements
and enriches the blood by purifying
this very important source of that VI
tai fluid. Send for book ON spring
diseases. Also valuable treatise on
catarrh, lagrippe, consumption, cough
and colds, by DR.. Hartman, sent free.

HORTIcUL TURAL DEPARTMENT
TREE PRUNING .


| "a paper read before the Horticultural Society
by J Hogueland.)
L think there is only one right way
to prune and that is to commence
when you set your orchard, and keep
pruning every year as long as the
tree lasts. If this is done you will
not have to cut away big limbs to
wound the tree.
But if this plan has not been follow
ed, then do the next best thing. Now
some one will say, "let them alone
and they will take care of them
selves" We will see if that is the
case. IF trees are left to themselves
they are bound, sooner or later, to
prune themselves
You may ask, chow is that?"
The trees will form tops too heavy
for the roots to support. Consequent
~ the limbs will commence dying one
by one, until the tree is full of dry
limbs. The fruit on these trees will
be small and scrubby, and the trees
will be short lived. On the other
hand if they are regularly pruned the
trees are apt to be healthy and bear
fruit of good quality and size.
am as much opposed as anyone to
cutting big limbs, but even then, it is
better to prune, if you understand it,
than to let it go. You will be re-
warded in the longer life of your trees
and with better fruit. But if you cut
and slash regardless of the welfare of
your tree, you had better have LETT it
alone. l don't think one man out of
every hundred would make a success
at pruning. 1 would say to anyone
who expects to prune, before begin
ming work, make kettle of wax and
and wax the places from which the
limbs are cut, thoroughly. This will
keep the wood from cracking and let
ting the water soak in which would
iDjure the tree.
TREE CULTURE.
There are many different opinions
on tree culture, but l will give you
my experience.
When selecting trees never take
forked tree or one without limbs. A
good tree is one that will have its first
limbs two and one-half to three feet
from the ground, and the limbs wide
enough apart that they will not
wedge together and eventually kill
