bride in Auburn, N. Y, April Z.
II. d. Ryder was in Hanover, N. H.,
Wednesday to make arrangements for a
reunion OF his class, Dartmouth 1876, dur
ing next commencement. Mr.. Ryder has
been president of the class since gradua-
ton.
The fire department has purchased two
spray tips for use on hose in entering apart
ments filed with smoke. These tips send
water in a circle 80 feet in diameter, and
are manufactured by w. w. Fiske, chief
of the fire department in Providence, r. |.
The Fall Mountain Paper Company
recently purchased cellar pipe, which can
be attached to hose, put through an open
ing in the floor, and so adjusted as to sehd
a strong stream OF water in any direction
desired. This is an important piece Of
apparatus in case of fires in easements.
1t should have been stated in Wednes-
days account of the celebration OF the
Kmball-Adams nuptials, that the informal
reception after the ceremony, was given at
the home of the groom's parents, instead
of the brides parents owing to the critical
illness of Mrs. Sarah A. Phelps, whose
home is with Mr.. and Mrs. II. A. Adams.
One of the greatest medical successes of
the year is the TruaX Rheumatic Cure
made here by Truax & Co. The sales al
ready exceed 800 bottles per week, and
it is performing cures more wonder
full than those of Newell the healer, as the
cures stay cured. Another home testimo-
NAL is published in another column.
P. Z. CLAIR severed his connection with
the F. G. Pierce clothing house yesterday,
and after vacation Of three or four weeks
will accept a position in another city. Mr.
Clair has a host Of friends here who will
regret his leaving the town. He is most

and a good salesman. His departure will

Ralsy c. Bidwell, shipping and billing
clerk, ,time-keeper and pay-master for the
Vermont Farm Machine company, has ten
dered his resignation to take effect May 1.
He will seek pastures green in another
field. Mr.. Bidwell has been with the COM
pany seven years, and has proved himself
thoroughly reliable and competent en-
ploye. His removal from town takes an
other good citizen away.
The horrible news is fast spreading that
a dog was killed in Brattleboro Wednes-
day, run over by an electric car. The
foolhardy dog attempted to cross the track
in front Of moving car with awful results.
Brattleboro seems considerably wrought up
over this heart-rending accident, and it
raises a grave question regarding the pro-
posed electric road in this place. If our
dogs are to be in perpetual danger, what is
to be doneP Shall the road be built Or not
1t appears that application for the
inf, of p,a1a hv tho
Grand Trunk railway last week to the
United States circuit court at Brattleboro
and that Judge Wheeler issued an order
appointing President E. G. Smith Of the
Central Vermont and General Manager c.
M. Hayes Of the Grand Trunk as receivers.
Papers of the same character were also
filed in New York and Boston last Satur-
day.
A small-szed law suit was heard in Il.
H. Allbee's office Thursday before Justice
G. II. Williams. An employee of the Moss
tJollity company trusted the gross receipts
OF the entertainment given here last fall
and in the hands Of Brosnahan and Blak
ley. Judgment was given against Fred
Moss, but it appears that he claims to own
no part OF the show, the real owner being
his father. On this contention the judg-
ment amounts to nothing. An appeal has
been taken by Il. H. Allbee, attorney for
the employe, and the money will remain
tied up until the decision of the county
court. II. D. Ryder represented the
Round Trip Tickets to Barre.
The reduced rate round trip tickets,
which have been placed on sale at the
