place to new. Old men are fast being
crowded of the stage by new aspirants
for places. This is all right and as II
should be. Men outlive their usefulness
as well as buildings. No matter about the
has beens, we are looking forward, and
whatever is past, let it go into history, but
don't block the way. Either fill the road
or turn out and let enterprise go on. The
coming season bids fair for Barnard and
we predict that the town will bs filled
with summer visitors. The old harness
shop one TODD on the premises occupied
by the late John Ward and was used by
Samuel Wood for making chairs. Some OF
those chairs are now in existence, and are
as strong and solid as they were in 1880.
Sixty years ago it became the property OF
Harrison French and was moved onto its
present site, over the neck of the lake, n
side standing on the wharf and the other
upon piles in the water. 1t was occupied
for many years by Mr.. French for making
and repairing saddles and harnesses. Later
by Amos Jacques as a shoe shop and still
later by s. @. Cady, now OF Bethel, for a
harness shop. The last occupant was the
late Edward t. French, whose genial
countenance will forever live In the mem,
DRY of his friends. Could the walls of this
shop speak, its wonderful tales would fill
a large book. Here states were formed
and caucuses held for town and school
meetings. 1t wasthe headquarters of those
who wanted office n where the news of
the day was discussed by the habitual
evening loungers of a country village. No
one would think of going to bed without
making a call at this shop. Here we're ed
ucated many apprentices, who became
skilled orkmen, and afterwards emigrat-
ed to different states and engaged success
fully in business OF their own. These will
remember the shop with interest and
regret its sudden exit. Here the many
races over the ice were made up, pools
sold money divided and merits OF the vic
tors discussed for days and days. Here
arrangements for the Barnard fairs we're
formed and here a few Republicans de-
cided to vote for Horace Greeley, but only
a few afterwards remained with the Dem
ocrats. This building was really the Dem.
ocratic headquarters and could truthfully
have been called a club room. .'Republi-
cans always welcome" Its first and last
occupants were Democrats true to their
faith. Altho' its roof was often shaken
by the wind and its door washed by the
waves, yet Democracy still lived. Among
all that used to congregate in this shop
for gossip and story telling, how few could
answer to the roll call today. As ] stand
upon the bridge and look at the desolated
spot, the thought comes-where are they?

Vermont stockholders Must Settle.

Il. ID. Wigton, receiver of the Iowa
Savings bank, of Sioux City, Ia, and
T. f. Bennington, attorney for the
bank, arrived in Montpelier last week.
They come here to confer with the
stockholders of the bank, of whom
there are about dozen or fifteen resid-
ing in Montpelier and vicinity. Their
visit is for the purpose of effecting a
settlement if possible, and if not to
put the question to the test in the
courts.
About $4,000 of the capital stock
of the bank is held in the east, and
from Sl2,O G0 to Sl5, 900 in Montpel-
Ter, Waterbury and Burlington. The
original assessment was 100 cents on
a dollar. 1t has since been cut down
to 80 cents. Efforts will be made to
make a settlement on this basis.
Some time ago most of the Mont
pelier stockholders dubbed together
with the intention of fighting the
cases They retained Dillingham;,
Huse Il Rowland. Spaulding of
Burlington was originally among the
number, but settled about two months
ago after the assessment was reduced.
The payment of the so per cent as
sessment releases all stockholders from
paying any additional assessment.
Many have already settled.
Others, however, look on the fail
ure of the bank as the biggest swindle
that was ever perpetrated on the pub
lie and do not feel any too communica-
tive on the subject. They want the
case to get into court, so that it a
be aired, as they believe in that way
that the actions Of the officers of the
bank NAV be shown IN.

Recommended by Grand Jury for
Washington County at Montpelier.
The special grand jury OF Washing
ton county court made their report
last Friday.
They said among other things
that the sanitary condition of the
Jail does not meet their approval; that
they find the Jail insufficient in point
of size, inadequate in its accommo-
dations, improperly constructed and
arranged, deficient in heating and in
sufficient in ventilation for the needs
and requirements of a Jail in Wash
ington county.
"The condition OF the building i,
such in the above named respects that
in the opinion of the grand jury no
repairs can be made which will make
it a proper place Of confinement t,r
prisoners. Your grand jurors, there :
fore, recommend that a new jail be
built that will properly meet the de-
mands OF the county, having accom-
modations for more prisoners, both
male and female, so constructed MS to
remedy the defects apparent in the
present building; and advise that leg
islation be enacted at the coming Str.
sion of the General Assembly, which
will authorize the carrying out of
their recommendations"
The only indictment found by the
grand jury was against John Kelley
of Cox Brook, Berlin, for assault with
intent to kill one Corcoran.
The jury refused to report a bin
against G. j. Heath of Mortified, for
incendiarism, and also refused one
against Wendell Il. Phillips of Dux.
