Nearly all the first-class railway lines

THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR.

The New England Fair is an institution
holding an honored place in the esteem of
all true New Englanders, and its growth
has been of such a steady character, that
the exhibition now embraces every known
contrivance which trends to benefit and
improve the methods in agriculture be-
sides the display of stock and produce,
which alone is of sufficient prominence to
attract thousands.
Rigby Park is the ground upon which
the New England Fair will be held on
August II, Is, 10, 20, 81, and every effort
has been made by the management to make
the Fair memorable success.
Tuesday is Press day Wednesday, Grange
day; Thursday, Governors day, and May
or's day will be on Friday.
The famous cattle from Hoods farm will
be exhibited, and the French Coaching
horses from Sanborn's stables will be
shown off to the best advantage. There is
toJbe az Nfidwayl'' far More complete than
last years with many new attractions, and
taking all in all, it is the greatest show of
the season.
From every station on the Boston &
Maine System, tickets will be on sale,
which include an admission to the fair
grounds. Information regarding rates can
be obtained at station ticket offices.

AS the existence of the combination

A murderous assault was made last
week by Walter Mansfield on Geo.
Clifford, both living in the south west
part of the town of Stowe, resulting
in probably fatal injuries. In fit of
anger over some trivial matter,
Mansfield struck Clifford Cd the head
with an axe helve, as is claimed.
Mansfield was arraigned and bound
up under $4,000 bail, awaiting the
action of the grand jury. He was un-
able to obtain bail and now lies in
Jail at Hyde Park.
For two weeks clever pickpocket
has been quietly working the passen
ger depot at Essex Junction. In two
cases the victims were women. The
last was Mrs. Geo. Clayes of Bedford,
P. O., who was relieved of her purse
containing over 500 while changing
cars there. The thief cut her hand
bag. Another case was that of w. S.
Howden, of Bristol, whose account
book was found with Mrs. Clay6s'
empty purse in the depot water tank.
So adept is the thief that even his
victims are not aware of his presence
and not the slightest clue of his iden-
tity is obtainable.

But for England, the island of

of assistance to it's Christian inhabi-

as occurred at Heraklion last week,

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 10.-A combin
ed effort is about to be made by city
banks to decrease circulation of
American bills in this city. At pres
ent the city is flooded with American
silver certificates. The following
notice is posted in the Standard bank
today:
On and after Saturday August 15
American one dollar bills will only be
received for 90 cents.
1t is understood that other banks
will follow the example of this bank.
This action will probably result in
decreased circulation of American
bills in this city. In regard to Ameri-
can silver most of the banks are not
accepting it at all. Some will accept
it only from creditors but in small
amounts. The railway companies re-
fuse to handle it and departmental
stores are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY
of refusing it as money.
Following the example of the Tor
onto banks the Merchants and local
banks in Hamilton, Ont, have decided
to refuse to accept American silver
and silver certificates. For years
American bills and American curren-
cy have been accepted at par by many
merchants. United States silver or
silver certif Gates will not be accept
ed in payment of city taxes. This ac
ton is not due entirely to the silver
agitation in the United States but to
the fact that at present there is too
much American silver in circulation.

The Alaskan boundary trouble
again becomes topic of news. 1t
does not seem to excite the Washing

of the correspondents in the mining

turning tide of half starved adven-
turers from the Yukon region brings
the declaration that the stories of
rich discoveries of gold are swim

are some places Astounding in the

Wooden Mills.

These mills have just been refit-
ted with modern improvements, and
are now ready to do frSt-class
work. Arrangements have been
made to deposit your wool at
number Of convenient places in the
county, from which the Mills Co.
will receive it, and after carding
it will return it to the same place
for only &C.. just about what it is
W orth to card it. You can leave
your wool at the most convenient
Of the following places:
j. M. Jones & Co.'s Store.
John J. liners
Orndorff & Whitelaw's
Geo. w. HeYener's
Osborne Calhoun's
H. f. Colaw's
Bud Fleisher's house.
You cannot afford to sell your
wool at the distressingly low price
that is being paid for wool this
year and pay about as much for
your wooden goods as you did when
you received double as much for
your wool; so it will pay you to
have it manufactured.
Leave your package at any Of
the above places, plainly mark 1t
with your name, and you will have
no more trouble with it until you
haye it returned to the same place
in a few days afterwards. We will
make our first visit to the above
places about June LIST, and will
make second trip about the last

Prof. Sheppe is an institute in
structor Of note, boing the princi-
pal Of one Of the largest and best
known high schools in Southwest
Virginia. and for several years all
instructor in the Virginia Summer
School Of Methods He is recog-
nized as one Of the most progress
sive and up-to-date teachers in the
State. The student-teachers are
interested, earnest and determined
to make the best use possible Of
the time. Lessons are assigned,
studied and recited. and regular
school work done. No teacher or
prospective teacher Of the county
can afford to miss this opportunity
to fit himself for better work in the
sshool room. Skilled labor is de-
manded in all other lines Of human
effort. Why should the education
Of our children be committed to
the hands Of novices? If teachers
would have better salaries, let them
show themselves worthy Of better
salaries. Nine-tenths Of those who
teach in the public schools get all
they are worth and more.
The Institute has the endorse
nent Of the county board. At the
close of the term certificates show

Before Justice. Wilson,

Justice Wilson's court was large
~ attended yesterday. About O
dozen boys of the town and vicini-
ty, on Wednesday night Of this
week, eager to have some fun at
IKE expense of a lad who had re-
Gently come to town to remain
temporarily. and had not yet been
initiated as a town boy, after SUBJ
jecting him to manner of treat
ment not appreciated or enjoyed by
him, pinioned his hands behind
him, placed him on a horse and
started off with him as though they
were going to lynch him, but fl.
nally liberated him without any Sc.
sious bodily injury.
The boys doubtless started out to
have fun merely, but carried 1T be-
yond the bounds of propriety, and,
as a consequence, complaint was
made to Justice Wilson, who had
the offending parties brought be-
fore him, heard the evidence and |
took time to consider. After the
evidence was all in, the justice gave
the boys a plain, matter-of-fact |
talk with lots Of sensible advice, |
which they would do well to heed. |
