that comes in kisses the kittens and the
young men of the town are stricken with
grcen-eyed jealousy.
BAD FALIs.-Mrs. John Jones, by the
ovcrturning Of a bench on which she had
gotten to reach high shelf in the pantry,

deal of freight hauling, An immense amount
of coal, lumber lime, &c has been brought
over the mountain this week. The passenger
traffic also keeps up remarkably well. This
however, could be considerably increased

tue travelling public Vujey Register.
REvIvALs.-In the United Brethren church
at Lantz, Rev. E. G. B. Castle is conducting
a very successful! revival of religion. From
fifteen to twenty persons each evening dur
ing the past week have asked for prayer in
their behalf.
In the Methodist Episcopal church, Thur
mont, on Monday night of last week, under
Rev. Mr., Courtney series of revival meet
ings began. -
HAD IT BAD-Mr. Chas. E, Casscll, Jr.,
who left on the 4th inst for the Hotchkss
School, Lakeville, Conn, has now just about
finished his fight against u terrible attack Of
homesickness. Being his first away from
home experience, it got him down and came
very near to resulting in the renewal of for
mer relations with things in Maryland. His
convalescence 1t seems, came in the nick of
time. has been rapid ard he is now about
freed of the malady.
DRIVING ACCIpENT,-While driving up
the mountain one night last week, on their
way to the revival at Lantz, a dog rushing
out frightened Mr. Ross Wihide's horse,

loose from the buggy and ran home The
buggy was wrecked.
The tramp nuisance is on the increase,
and as the winter advances their number will
increase. Whilst many of these poor fellows
are ready to work meal or nights Logging,
many have become hardened by the life they
lead, and live only to beg or steal for an
existence. There should be plenty of work
at Montevue for these men, and when a
worthy case is found there is 70 trouble in
securing a days work for the board and
lodging asked. We should have stone
enough broke at our Institution to pike all
the roads to the top of the mountain and this
could be done if proper effort was mace
Good roads. good roads. is now the cry all
over the country Citizen.

There was a sensation in political
circles and in fact among all classes
this morning when the report became
current that there was some irregular
tiles on the bench at Vernal during the
last session of Judge Dusenberry's
court there. The judge was exceedingly
shocked and stated that he was sur
prised that the Vernal Express would
descend so low as TO give publicity to
such falsehocods as are contained in
the article in question. He went to
Vernal in il1-health and was given
medical attention by DR.. Hathenbruck,
who administered drug containing
morphine. That this had a Supplying
effect he does not deny, but does deny
that it initiated against justice or the
interests of the state. AS to granting
a divorce to a couple who had been
married but one day. this is character
lied as a deliberate lie. Judge Dusen-
berry states that this paper, which has
set this scandal afloat, has attempted
to disgrace other judges who have sat
on the bench at Vernal. Their asser-
tons are designated as libelous and
false

He is a transient and a suspicion was
aroused that he had stolen the goods
because of the bargains he was offer
ing. He was admitted to bail in the
sum of 500, which he succeeded in
procuring from one of Proves dealers,
who was soft-soaped into going on the

for sentence. He failed to appear and
his bonds were forfeited.
