For some time it has been known to
the residents of the county between
Portsmouth and Deep Creek, that an
application would be made for a lie
ense to sell liquor at Julian Creek. The
application was put off until near the
time for the County Court to adjourn
Tor the term. and yesterday being the
last day. the applicant was present to
make application, but finding that
nearly every farmer living in that vicin-
itv was present to oppose the granting
OF the same. he concluded to WITHDRAW
the application rather than fight such
odds. The people living In that section
saw thew have been free from LIQUOR for
several wears and will not again be dis

came out in full force both old and

Springfield Summer School.

A correspondent Of the Springfield Re.
publican writing to that paper last Satur.
day said.
The work of the Windsor county sum.
mer school has gone smoothly on with in.
terest and enthusiasm, in spite of the al.
most torrid heat which prevailed until Fri.
day. Some recreation has been connected
with the work. An excursion to Cavendish
gorge was taken on half-holiday the frs,
week. This gorge is bit of wonderland
The waters of Black river have worn the
rock into steep precipices, great basins and
several caverns. A lovely bit of ''the for
est primeval' hens it in. The whole place
looks like the playground of giants and
gnomes. One day many of the teachers
accepted an invitation given to all, and
visited the Jones & Lamson machine COM
pany's works on lower Main street. They
were courteously received, escorted about
the shop and the various interesting pro-
cesses carefully explained. The exactness
of all work and the perfection of detail were
object lessons not soon to be forgotten
The Commonwealth club rooms were visit
ed by many teachers. A reception at the
high school hall brought together in a social
way many of the citizens Of the town and
their pedagogic guests.

The grand Republican rally that was an

was thought best to do this because
all the stores are open on Wednesday
evening and also because there is a rally at
Rutland on that evening and quite num-
Der from here desire to attend.
The date now fixed upon is final and the
rally will be held Thursday evening, rain
or shine. The Bellows Falls band will
provide music both for the parade and for
the exercises in the hall. The speakers
will be Ex-Gov. w. P. Dillingham; OF
Montpelier and Gen. o. o. Howard Of

tors. Judge L. M. Read will preside.
Republicans of this and surrounding towns
are earnestly requested to be present and

Bradley Newell at Wilmington.

A contemporary says: 1.-The manage
ment of the Raponda hotel at Wilmington,
VT, have secured Bradley Newell, the
Jacksonville healer, for months stay al
the hotel. He was asked to make the
contract to be at the hotel several months
ago but he hesitated considerably before
he was induced to stop there. The man.
agement finally agreed to build him cot
tage near the hotel if he would come, and
just before he started for Europe he con-
sented. Mr. Newell had a national repu-
tation before he went, but now that he has
dined with the queen and treated members
OF the royal family he has added attrac-
tons. The people who have induced him
to stop for the month of August at the
Raponda hotel know him as the same
Newell as he was before he went to Eng
land"

Lightning In North WaIpole.

During the severe storm of Thursday
afternoon lightning struck the house Of
Jerry Moynahan in North Walpole, doing
considerable damage but injuring no one.
The bolt struck chimney, followed the
ridgepole for ways, went down the side
Of the house, tore off plastering and clap
boards, and finally struck the sink and fol-
lowed water pipe into the middle of the
street. The pipe was burst about five rods
from the house and had to be dug up and
new piece put in. There were four or
five people in the house but no one was
injured. The damage was considerable,
but is covered by insurance. The shock
was so severe that most Of the neighbors
thought their own premises had been
struck. An elderly lady who lives in the
house stood so near the scene OF the mis-
hap that some of the plastering hit her,
bus she was not in the least injured.
