Representative Gamble Of South Da-

by the house his bill in regard TO dis

is that dividing the present southern

making five divisions in al. The terms
of the courts are fixed as follows:

At Pierre, on the first Tuesday in

The report from Mr.. Updcgraff.
from the committee on judiciary, said:
The bill is the same as the statute
now in the state governing the sub
ject, except that it makes a new di-
vision from what is known as the

terms in the new division do not con

new division is contiguous and ada

proposed to be held. and is much near

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1896-02-07
AN EPISODE IN LOCAL HISTORY.

AS many know, st, John lie Crevecnur,
French consul at New York in 1885, a
resolute lover of liberty and an ardent
friend OF the Green Mountain State,
sought to be of some service to a people
that had earned his respect by its energy
and industry. The Vermonters knew
this, and to distinguish his friendship and
kindly acts in their behalf, at the sugges.
ton OF Ethan Allen, St John lie Creve-
cGur had the naming of Dauvile Yer.
gennes and St. Johnsbury. He was nat.
uralized, and wrote a book well received
in France, recording the patience, bravery
and suffeiings of Americans in their War
of the Revolution.
A century later an interesting episode
connects the past to the present Young
Robert Turner, great grandson Of Major
General Hawkins, son of an early settler
of St. Johnsbury, and a man of note in
his day, was at school at the Lycee at
Paris, and at his side sat young Creve-
occur.
you are an American ?" said the latter
one day.
YES. :"
MY ancestor was in America in the
last century, and had the naming of a
town"
"Where2"
In Vermont, and the towns St. Johus-
bury"
THE very home of my ancestor" was
young Turner's delighted reply.
Mr.. Turner likes to consider himself a
son OF Vermont, although now a resident
Of Paris and it will interest many read
ers OF the CALIFORNIAN to know that he
has recently earned very gratifying
place for himself in the hospital lite OF
that city, 1t appears that an "Interne in
the Hospitals is very desirable place
for a young physician to reach. is a
prize worth struggle. Five hundred
and fifty young men, among them Mr..
Turner, were given two hours in which to
write uponsome medical subject. Alittle
later, the same time was given o another
subject. Still later, by some weeks
about fifty whose papers were deemed
mertorious by the examiners, were called
to an oral examination, and from them
