There is no company of national guards

serves IN our town, the young men feeling

have begun enlisting in the Fuller battery
of Brattleboro.
Several days ago representative of the
battery came to town for the purpose Of
enlisting men to swell the ranks to the full
fighting capacity. Barney Cannon, Jr.
was appointed enlisting officer and up to
present writing has enlisted about Is men,
while several others have gone to Brattle-
boro and enlisted there.
The battery are expecting to receive
orders TO move at any moment. When
such orders come the following OF our citi-
zens will likely be compelled to don the
blue coats and march to the front: Frank
E. Adams, A. M. Douglass, Charles F
Noyes, John B. Murray, Frank E. Ayers,
Lyman E. Jennison, Benjamin o. Butler
Percy G. Reed, Perley Mandigo, Charles

Considerable excitement was caused
near the toll bridge last Thursday morning
by the Rutland railroad attempting to lay
a spur track over the property on which
Edward Germans house stands and which
Mr.. German claims is his property. Mr..
German has lived there for over eight
years, having bought the house and lot
from Mrs. Kiniry in 1890. This is his
side Of the story, but by others it is claimed
that the real owner of the lot is not known.
Patrick Bowen, now deceased, lived in
the house for Is years previous to Mr..
German and it is said he never paid rent
for the ground. The case was tried at
court years ago, but without determining
the real owner. Thursday morning Mr.
German found railroad ties and rails in his
newly made garden and Roadmaster She
han had crew of men ready to begin lay
ing track. German began practicing for
war at once; Selling pitchfork, he
charged bay onets on the railroad gang,
who withdrew at once, then German threw
the ties out into the street. 1t is likely
another attempt will be made to put in the
track and it may be that the real owner OF
the property will be known before the
affair is ended.
There seems to have been considerable
misunderstanding regarding the transporta-
ton Of scholars to and from the Saxtons
River school and also regarding the high
school examination conducted here some
time since. Last term scholars living some
distance from the Saxtons River school
were carried back and forth at the towns
expense. At the end of the term the di.
rectors were told by one who should know
that there were none who had over one
and one-half miles to walk, so as many
scholars in other districts must walk ar
equal distance, it was suggested that Mr.
Rand, the liveryman, be ordered to dis
continue carrying the scholars back and
forth. This it seems was neglected and
| Mr.. Rand was not notified. When one o.
our officials learned that Mr.. Rand was
still doing as before, he ordered him te
stop, whereupon several parents were
heard from. Upon further examination il
was found that there were a few who were
entitled to transportation, and learning this
the official Immediately ordered Mr.. RanC
to continue his services Regarding eXami
nations it has been said by number tina
the examinations for entrance into the higl
school were very difficult and that some
who had received certificates in the spring
OF ~, failed to pass. The entrance init
the high school does not depend upon wha
a student was capable of doing year ago
but upon his scholarship at the time o
entrance The examinations were nom
too rigid for such an institution as the Bel
lows Falls high school and should hav
been passed by those who attempted them

Healer Stands Without Peer.
Suffering Humanity Cured and Benefited
by this Wonderful Physician.

Thousands of Vermont people can tell
you of DIR. j. Fraser Barbrick, of Boston,
who is now making tour through the
state.
The marvellous cures made by this won
derful physician and healer have attracted
the attention of thousands of people in
every walk of life and have given to the
sick and suffering new life and hope. That
the deaf are made to hear, the blind to
see, the lame to walk, that the unsightly
tumor is made to wither and waste away
and the foul cancer cleansed and dried up
simply by the application of his treatment
seems beyond belief but such are the
claims made by those who have been
treated by him and you are given the
chance to test for yourself whether such
things are true, as the doctor will visit Bel
lows Falls and be at Towns hotel Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, April 90, 80. aud
May 1.
The doctor treats all diseases and those
who call on him will receive consultation,
examination, advice and surgical service
free of charge. II you are sick it would
be advisable to see him at once.
