ing quite so bad off as some others,
Vermont could have it in comparison
with some Of the Northwestern States
during the severe weather of last
week Wednesday was one of the
worst days in many years here, but
neither the cold or the wind was equal
to that reported in Wisconsin and
some other Western localities.
Mr.. Chaffee, agent for the Express
and Standard, has been here Of late,
writing up the business and affairs of
the town, pleasantly plimenting
the most of US good people. He has
made the MONITOR Office several |
pleasant calls, land, we judge, finds it a

The Dartmouth Alumni Association |
of New York had a notable gathering
recently in that city, at which a large
number were present. We notice
that Charles F. Mathewson, formerly
Of this place, is president of the asso-
citation, and that he took a prominent

roads blockaded, making trains from
TWO to SIX hours late. Never since the
water works were put in this village
were SO many service pipes frozen
and burst.
Those who attended the musical con-
Ventlon at Newport speak very pleas
antly Of the work done. A thorough
drill was given in chorus work and all
singers had excellent opportunity to
Climb up the musical staff in the knowl-
edge impaired. 1t is a credit to Mr..
Bla1sdell that he is able to keep up his
reputation in the county so MANY

she presides at the piano.
