surrounding towns. Quite number went
across the lake in the afternoon for pic
mic Some of the boys got together IN the

An interesting union service was held
at the NJ. E. church last evening. Sub
| iect for discussion: ''Our Nations holiday;
ssIt's Uses and Abuses" Rev. Mr.. Sheaff,

Our base ball boys played the Shefields
at Glover last Saturday and were defeated
by a score OF 1873. The game was
about even up to the sixth inning
when few bad plays by the Barton
bows gave the Sheffields a lead which
they held during the game. The Shelf
field boys were REINFORCED by the regular
battery of the ST. Johnsbury academy
team which was great help to them.
1t is reported that when the change is
made in the Pension Examiners of this
county the new board will be Drs.
Rutherford of Newport, Human OF West
Charleston and Dow of Glover. The
change is made not on account of any
special fault with the old board, but on
the ground of politics. The Cleveland adj
ninistration knocked out a previous set
of good fellows, and now they are knock
ed out in turn. .,a.,ss<,-6
Fred KimbaIl and fanny arrived here
last Saturday and are stopping at their
cottage at Silver Cove across the lake.
They will have several guests during the
summer. Mr. Kimban informs US that
the accounts carried home last year by

were so glowing as to cause quite num-
Der from that place to express their de-
termination to come here for summer
outing. 4#as
The attractions of Vermont as summer
resort are admirably portrayed in the
ssSummer Art Number" of the Vermonter,
which appears as double number for
d
| elaborate issue of this magazine ever pub
lished, and contains over forty fine half
tones of scenery in different sections of the
state. The illustrations form a good
album of Vermont scenery, and the de-
scriptions of the mountains, lakes, rivers
! and other attractions are very entertain
ing.
For curiosity we would like to know if
any Vermont publishers who ran the
| Harmless Soap ad. for G. H. Post & Co.,
received their pay for the job. The ad.
and the method employed in getting it by
Post, who seems to be both Post and
ssCo'' did not commend itself to us, but
we run it little while and dropped it.
We have heard it stated lately that Post
| boasts that he made $4,000 off his venture
in Vermont, cheating, of course, the large
share of it out of his advertisers. If
| there is any method or way to bring the
fellow to time we want to be in it.
