Flag Raising at Saxtons River.

The flag raising at Saxtons River Mon
day evening was enthusiastic and highly
successful. From 1000 to 1900 people
were present and shouted for Mckinley
and Judge L. M. Read. The home band
with a few additions, provided appropriate
music, and the fire works and balloon as
cension were enjoyed by all. The speaker
of the evening, Judge L. M. Read, was in
troduced by w. B. Glynn in few we'll
worded remarks. The speaker gave a
concise and comprehensive review of the
tariff legislation in this country, and showed
that the panics which have afflicted the
country in years past have been caused by
Ubiquitous tariff legislation on the part o.
the democratic party. He spoke for about
80 minutes and was enthusiastically re.
ceived.
The beautiful flag, the gift Of John A
Farnsworth to the Republican club OF thai
place was unfurled to the breeze with three
hearty cheers for Mckinley and Hobart.

Them As Hez GIFTS"

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press SAYS that "The writer spent last
summer on a little farm he rented for the
season up in Vermont, and hired native
of the soil named Job K, to take care of a
little garden and cut his hay. Job was a
character in his way and about as unique a
looking specimen as one often runs across
He was about feet in stature and
weighed in the neighborhood of 100
pounds. He had the features and the COM
plexion of an Indian, and | doubt if he
could have told the name of a single presi-
dent of the United States. His general in
formation was appallingly vague and
meager. One day he was asked: How
many children have you. Job?' Nine at
present. That's quite family 'Yaas,
It's. My folks run to big families. I'm
one of IS, an my dad an nam was both
one Of 49, How long have you been
marriedP Twelve years. And you have
nine children?' 'Yaas, sir. | have been
married ~ years and hev he'd nine children
and two suits O clothes in that time ITS
about time for you to get another suit,
isn't it?' 'Yaas, It's, but then-gee thar,
Buck!' He brought his CAD down on the
back Of one of the big black oxen with
which he was getting in the hay, and the
conversation was not resumed. Two DAYS
later he said when he came to work
about that thar suit, | reckon I'll hev to
put off gettin it another year. We've got
twins to our house. WAL, as the old
| sayin is, them as hez, gifts.

velous teat of writing 706S words in long
hand on an ordinary postal card.
Mr.. Wellman copied on the card eight
columns OF newspaper, selecting his ma
terial from three different articles. The
writer says that he could have put $500
words on the postal card without difficulty
The writing can be read by any one with
strong eyes without the aid Of glass. The
zoos words are written with an ordinary
steel pen in violet ink. The writer is near.
sighted and wears eyeglasses.

his achievement. The writing was done al

Barnum & Bailey.

The coming of the circus is looked upon
as one of the most notable of annual events
but when that circus is Barnum & Bailey's,
the interest is doubly increased. The date
of this big show is near at hand as they
will exhibit at Brattleboro July 10, which
will be the only appearance of the show in
this vicinity this season, and for which
occasion extra preparations have been
made by the railroad to handle the enor-
nous crowds that will doubtless attend,
a special low rate for the round trip in
most instances including admission to the
show having been made by the various
roads and when necessary extra trains will
be run.

Two Suicides.

George M. Lawrence, living about three
miles from Saxtons River on the Rocking
ham road, committed suicide early Monday
morning. The deceased was subject to
melancholia and had been suffering there
from for some time. Funeral service this
afternoon at o'clock at the late home of
the deceased, the pastor of the First Uni
versalist church of this place officiating.
Mr.. Lawrence leaves widow but no chill
dren. Aged 81.
Mr.. Lawrence was a well-to-do citizen
and his sudden demise was surprise to all
who knew him. The cause no doubt was
insanity as the grandfather ofthe deceased
committed suicide, and an uncle attempted
to, it is supposed that insanity was heredi-
tary. Mr.. Lawrence's body was found in
the basement of his barn in the part SET
aside for hen house.
Our correspondent in Perkinsville writes
of the suicide of Rev. William H. Rugg,
the Baptist preacher Of that town, which
was by hanging and also occurred Monday
morning and also in hen house. Though
in poor health for some years, Mr.. Ruge
preached in Amsden on the preceding Sun.
day and attended funeral at Ascutney.
vile on the preceding Saturday. His
Youngest son Edward who found the body
had Just returned home from Vermon
Academy for his summer vacation.
These two suicides occurring at nearly
the same hour Of the day, by the SAINT
method and in the same environment was
rather remarkable coincidence.
