the phenomena of dreams" Those who
listen will come away with a more definite
idea than they ever hal before Of the "stuff
that dreams are made Of and incident
ally they will probably be Invested OF

Everything is quiet on the surface as re-
CARDS next Tuesdays town meeting. Il is
understood that the present officers are
willing 10 be reelected. and there is little I
or no talk Of opposition unless it be for
the office Of road commissioner. Il is under
stood that Col. Thomas lannon's friends /
will present him for that place. and there
are limitations OF other candidates to be |
put in the field. Unless the election Of Of |
fcers is contested the business is likely TO |
be quickly transacted, there being only one |
article in the warrant outside the usual |
routine.
These scores have been made in the |
Vermont Wheel club tournament since last |
