ABSOLUTELY PURE
EAST DORSET.

Quite rain Saturday night of last
week and Sunday rubber boots were
the only suitable foot gear for pedes-
TRANS.
AT about 5 p. m. Sunday Mrs.
Ezra Lilly, 81 of North Rupert,
mother of Mrs. Hosea Benson and
of widow Alonzo Brophy, died of
pneumonia.
John M. Griffith's store was burg
lariously entered one night last week
and pipes, tobacco, cookies and a
small sum Of money taken.
Deacon S. Grout and Mrs. Grout
who attended the Botanical meeting
at Burlington didn't find sunfowers
and hollyhocks in hight of bloom, but
report very interesting and enjoya-
BILE meeting. A. j. Grout of Co
lumbia College whose "Notes on
Vermont moses" were among tie
papers read, is nephew of the dea-
con.
Rev. Mr.. Pinkerton has closed his
labors here and gone to Iowa where
he expects a passionate. He is as
well liked as any pastor of the Union
church of late but he had no jam on
his anxious seat. Our sinners are
not easily "pricked in their hearts"
A plump young blacksmith lately
brought and still brings X(eks) Rays
into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Pickett. Two housekeepers
before.
Rollin Hicks has moved from
Freedleyville on to farm near Man
chester Depot.
Benz, P. Bennett has moved from
the Bowen farm into the Foster house.
Considerable shipments of marble
and lumber from our station nova
days.
No money up among us yet and
none likely to be on the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fisticuff. Both as everybody
knows can duck and punch admira-
bly,. But James will hardly find the
soft thing he had with Sullivan &
Mitchell. His boast that she shall
not hold out his chin for Bob to
punch" will hardly save that part of
his facial anatomy from the bruiser's
art, We venture the careful guess
that he will be knocked out"
The Anglo-American arbitration
treaty. Well what is in the hence
ness now :? Some "niggar in the
wood pile ?" Was England's chief
justice lately over here palavering
about it without foreseeing some adj
vantage thereby ? Henry Waiter
son tells us from Italy that the "Uni-
ted States has no friends among Eu-
ropean nations" Of course not.
Republican institutions are stand
ing menace to monarchical. We have
always "settled our own hash" with
out the assistance of King Oscar Of
Sweden and Norway and why not
'let well enough alone ?" We have
had some little friction with the
mother country. We stepped her tea
in Boston harbor, took her sword at
Yorktown and winrowed her red
coats at New Orleans. But these
are old by-gones, we are at peace now
and our relations friendly. Perhaps
madam has been born again and bap-
tsed into William PENIS policy.
Perhaps her heart of stone has been
replaced by heart Of flesh. But the
inference seems a fair one that were
we aproned sayages she would spread
the ''glad tiding of great joy up the
Connecticut and "where rolls the
Oregon" as she is now doing up
Benin river and the Nile. Arbitra.
ton, peace treaties with her, would
appear not to be a principal but a
policy. There will always be time
enough to arbitrate matters of differ
ence with madam when we know just
what they are and just "where we are
at" The best guarantee of peace
and the best defence of nation is
men with sand and shoot in their
gizzards and good trigger fingers.
