A New Street.-Joseph Gauthier, who
recently purchased quite large piece of
land in Summervile, will have it surveyed
in the spring, building lots marked out
and new street put through. The new
street will run from Portland street about
midway between and parallel with River
and Caledonia streets. Mr.. Gauthier
will name the street next Monday,
Washington's birthday, and has decided
to call it Washington avenue. There is
no street of that name in St. Johnsbury,
and Mr. Gauthier thought it fitting
way to observe the birthday anniversary
of our first president. The land will be
divided into eighteen good building lots
and Mr., Gauthier will begin the erection
of a residence for himself to cost about
1900 on one of them early in the spring.
The plans for the residence have been
drawn by Packard & Thorne and the
lumber is already on the ground.

Won't Pay His Taxes. s.-Robert Blair

of West Barnet was lodged in Jail here
last Saturday for refusing to pay taxes
amounting to $9S. Taxpaying is dis
agreeable thing to him, and he doesn't
propose to pay. He is supposed to have
considerable property, but keeps it where
the listers can't get at it. They find
what they can ana then double his list.
This is all the more dsagreeabe to Mr..
Blair, who has evidently made up his
mind that he prefers board in the Jail to
paying the taxes and that is where he is
now stopping. 1t will be interesting to
notice how long man can be content to
remain shut up in Jail when he can get
out by simply paying his taxes. Barnet
will have to stand the expense of keeping
him in Jail.

The Luncheon Given the Regiment By tht
First Cadets In BOSTON.


The Seventh Regiment got homo from It's
triumphnl trip yesterday morning whilo the
morning air was still fresh with the nights
dampnoss, and by 10 O'Clock all OF it's busy
members were back at their work as blithe,
brisk, and alert as II they had been spending the
double holiday between Saturday and Tuesday
In some quiet country nook instead Of on a
flying trip to Boston.
BY a slip Ave important words were omitted
from a sentence In yesterdays SUN, which de-
prived tho Boston Cadets OF the credit for enter.
tanning tho Seventh at luncheon on Monday
after the parade in honor OF tho late Col. Shaw.
The Suns reporter in Boston wrote: Meantime
the cadets had prepared an elaborate luncheon
at their armory for their own men and those Of
the Seventh" but the types ended tho sentence
at their own men,"
Had the facts ended at tho same point, the
Seventh would have been deprived OF one Of the
most charming of the courtesles which the
guardsmen received from many sources In
Boston. The luncheon was not only elaborate.
but the manner of its service was extremely
complimentary. Each member Of the First
Corps Of Cadets took charge Of q squad OF tho
Seventies men and waited upon them in person,
and Y was only when their quests were served
| The men, OF the Seventh were q tired lot when
they reached the steamer MASSACHUSETTS, at
| Providence, and 1t was not long after they got
aboard before hundreds Of them were lying
about on mattresses on the decks, glad OF rest,
and some even asleep. Lunch had. been served
on the train. There was n lively business done
at the little room opposite the purscr,s office for
q time after tho boat started, and tho band filled
the great vessel with music until after 10
o'clock. but before IL nearly every one was abed
and asleep; 1t took a long reveille in the morn.
ing to awaken them all.
The boat landed at East Thirty-second street
at $40 o'clock. The troops formed In compa-
mics on the boat, and as soon as the gangplank
was out they marched forth and, stepping to q
lively air, went up Thirty.second street to Third
avenue. and there took elevated railroad trains
for Sixty.seventh street. The band and the
guard arrived at the armory at $40 o'clock. and
close behind them came the rest of the regiment
Each company marched to its parade ground on
the armory floor. stacked arms, and was dis.
missed in tho company room a minute. or so
later. Then the men Jumped into their citizens
clothes and hurried away to business.
