fulness OF the village has been somewhat
disturbed the past week by the arrest for
slander of c. Fl. Bagev former boot
and shoe dealer and ne secretary OF the
Merchants association. The suit was
brought by H. H. Carr the Railroad
street dry goods dealer, who claims dam
ages at $1,000 The whole affair grew
out of matters connected with the Mer-
chants association, of which Mr. Bagley
is secretary and Mr.. Carr treasurer. Mr..
Bagley presented a bill of services rem.
dered, to Mr.. Carr for payment, and as
the bill was an unusually large one Mr..
Carr declined to pay it at sight and sug-
gested that it would be too bad to draw
all the funds of the association out of
the savings bank just before the dividend
was declared Mr.. Bagley then went to
the bank to find out how much the asso-
citation had on deposit. The bank Off
cials gave him the amount that is kept
for current expenses, about S55- hut fail.
ed to tell him about the 5000 that was
drawing interest in the savings depart

dent Of the association that there was
only $55 in the bank, and Mr.. Carr al
leges that Mr.. Bagley reported that the

The Shoe FactOry.-The first meeting
OF the shoe factory stockholders was
held in the Board of Trade rooms Mon.
day evening. President Mackinnon called
the meeting to order and requested Capt.
Hovcy to give the particulars concern
ing the amount of stock raised, etc Capt.
Hovey said the large number of sub
scribers to the stock in this new enter
prise was harbinger OF success. There
are 275 different names on the papers,
representing S42 shares. % of these
shares being subscribed conditionally.
II Mr.. Stocker's property invoices $10,-
900 or 400 shares, the 1900 shares stip-
ulated in the contract are raised
w. P. Smith said that the success the
committee had had in raising the stock
was very satisfactory, but whether they
could make success of the business was
thing yet to be seen, though it certain
ly looked favorable. 1t would open the
way tor some larger institution, would
give employment to men, was a respect
able institution and was something St.
Johnsbury wanted. In speaking of ap-
praising Mr.. Stocker's machinery, ETC..
MIR. Smith said it had been agreed that
the Board of Trade should have one man.
Mr.. Stocker another and that these two
should choose a third. The meeting
could not choose man to represent them
at the appraisal, as there was no man in
town who knew anything about the
machinery required Tor manuiactur-
ing shoes, but they could select
man to act as their agent and
he could find man to properly represent
them at the appraisal. Mr.. Smith nom.
mated Capt. L. +, Griswod to act as
their agent and he was unanimously
selected.
Tuesday evening another meeting of
the stockholders was held to elect a man
to take Capt. Griswolds place, who was
unable to serve. Z. l.. Hovey was elect.

Christmas at the Town Farm.-One
OF the happiest Christmas occasions of
the season occurred at the town farm
last Saturday evening. twas conceived
by the generous hearts that preside over
that institution, Mr.. and Mrs Dockham.
They communicated their idea to Over
seer Sulloway, who at once entered
heartily into it's realization. 1t was to
have Christmas tree for the people at
the farm. So on Saturday evening a
number OF invited friends gathered at the
farm to help along in he festivities. There
was a beautiful tree, gaily trimmed, and
loaded with useful articles, furnished by
Mr. and Mrs. Dockham Overseer Sulo-
way and other friends. There was
short musical and literary programme,
Rev. Mr.. Tyrie offered prayer, the Advent
church choir sang an anthem, the three
little daughters OF Mrs. Dean sang a
sweet Christmas hymn, Rev. Mr.. Tyrie
read one of Eugene Fields stories. The
First Christmas Tree" and Rev. Mr.. APP
pleton made few remarks pertinent to
the occasion, then Mr.. Sulloway and +.
A. Pierce, assisted by others, distributed
the gifts to the delighted people of the
home. 1t was a splendid thing to do
and ought to be repeated each year.

SOUTH CHURCH.
The exercises at the South church
last Sunday attracted unusually large
audiences. There was tasty and effect
i've arrangement Ct evergreens about
the altar and organ. In the morning
the pastor, Rev. Edward 7. Fair
banks, preached an appropriate and
very able sermon on "The Babe" and
the choir rendered an excellent pro
gramme of music. An offertory solo,
GLORY to Cod" was finely rendered by
Mrs. Kimball. The concert in the
evening was carried out in an interesting
manner and the little people who took
part did themselves and teachers much
credit. A pleasing feature was the creed
read by the congregation with responses
by the choir The several carols by the
school chorus OF girls were nicely render
ed, as was also Away in a Manger," by
little choir consisting Of Dorothy Fair
banks, Mary Ely, Mabel Shields and
Bessie Merrill. A quartette OF young la
dies, Misses Nellie Albee, Maud Daniels,
Laila Mcneil, Helen Abbott, rendered in
pleasing manner, Watching Il he Stars"
The rendering of "Sing, o Heavens" by
choir and chorus was grand. The solo
by Miss Ethel Abbott, GLORY to Heav-
ems Eternal King was given in fine
voice and greatly enjoyed by the audi
ence. The musical part of the programme
was in charge of c. S. Adams and his
work was well done. Recitations were
given by Frances Ross, Clayton Bond,
Harold Abbott, Grace and Lucy Merrill,
Grace Cree, Miss Dodge, and dialogue
by Lottie Sleeper, Mabel Hudson, Julia
Esterbrooks and lone Barrett.
ST ROSE.
The first Christmas exercises by the
parish OF st. Rose were largely attended
in St. Agnes hall. Rev. Father Carmody
preached an eloquent sermon at the mid
night mass. The choir rendered pleas
ing programme OF music under the direc-
tion OF Miss Trainor with Miss Roderer
at the organ. The Christmas day sing
ing was very interesting, especially the

NORTH CHURCH.

Exercises began on Christmas eve with
tree for the children in the chapel. The
superintendent, ]. w. Sault, imperson-
ated Santa Claus in remarkably good
makeup and every child in the juvenile
department received a present from the
tree as well as an orange and bag of
candy. The evening passed off very
pleasantly lor the little folks and many
of the older ones enjoyed watching the
affair.-On Sunday morning the pastor
preached an approriate Christmas sermon
and the choir rendered special music. The
offertory consisted of a solo by Miss
Browne, the former first soprano OF the
choir with response by the Mahogany
quartette In the evening the children
gave the annual Christmas concert and
the church was well filed for the occa-
sion. The programme consisted of reci
tations and music by the little folks,
singing by the choir and Others respon-
sive readings by the school. At the close
of the service 40 valuable books were
given to those in the Juvenile department
who had attended church regularly dur
ing 1896 and recorded the texts of the
sermons in the text books. The same
generous giver who has kept up this
beautiful custom sent word that the
offer was open to the children oranother
year. After the books were distributed
DR.. Heath briefly addressed the children,
telling them that il they considered this
the only blessing from church attendance
they made serious mistake. Any child
that attended church regularly received
blessing even if the sermon were long
and heavy. The floral decorations around
the pulpit consisted of evergreen trees, a
halEcrcle of evergreen bearing the words,
peace on earth, good will to men," and
lew flowers. The effect of the whole
was very striking.
