ed clerk OF Dutton & Richmond, who

| A. e. Lane OF Montpelier has severed
his connection with the Northern Supply
company OF Burlington as travelling sales

stock holders Saturday evening, Mr.. L. P.
Thayer was pat In charge Of the camping
arrangements at Highgate Springs, and

The Woodstock Standard says, "Mr. F.
B. Thomas sets a strong pace when he
mounts his wheel for spin, though he
doesn't 60 in for rd-breaking. He
started for his home in Randolph the 9TH
or afternoon and covered the distance, %
miles, in one and three-quarters hours
He was not riding against time-it was
only an ordinary run-and consider ng
the fact that there is some uphill work
between here ard Randolph, it was very
good for an every day spin"
Mem bers OF the Magazine club are re-
quested to bear in mind the fact that the
club books and papers are public proDerty
Some OF the magazines have come around
in very much the demoralized condition
OF returning excursioDists. Their leaves
have been tattered and torn with now and
then one missing, making 1t necessary for
the readers imagination to FIJI out great
many blanks. The president OF the club
asks the members to have care that the
books leave them in good state OF pres
ervation.
A careful perusal OF the testimony In
the Woodbury.. Herald libel suit would
lead one to imagine that the men OF Ver-
mont we're strongly in favor OF prohiDi-
tion for every one but their individual
selves. Whether they were attending
Democratic convention or Sunday school
rally, they all seem to have registered at
the Van Ness and made haste to establish
an intimate acquaintance with the bell
boys and head walters. 1t has long been
a source OF wonder why all sorts OF ami
versaries, conventions, annual meetings
aud family reunions should always be held
In Burlington, but the revelations made
by the witnesses In this famous case, com
to throw food OF light on great
many mysterious things.

The village Of Randolph, veteran tells

he Gettysburgh cemetery occupies the
anne position that ours does, and the
Tnion troops held the road on that side
the hill while the rebels were in pos
