st. Andrews Easter Sale.

The annual Easter sale and supper was
held at Pythian hall Thursday afternoon
and evening and Friday afternoon. The
fancy work was attractively displayed
and the food and candy tables looked
very tempting. The aprons, many made
by ladies of 70 years Of age and older,
attracted many purchasers, and in the
evening the steamboat which piled on
the waters of an artificial pond, ingen-
iously arranged, was the center of at
traction for the older people as well as
children, and was the source OF much
amusement. When the sale concluded
Friday afternoon the tables were practi-
cally denuded of their wares and both
the Rector's Aid Society and St. Mar
garet's Guild deserve great deal of
credit for the success of their enterprise,
from which they will net very salts
factory sum.
During Thursday evening Miss Emma
Shufelt was heard in pleasing vocal solos.
and guessing contest on pictures of
famous men and women in public life
was an entertaining feature.

Young Ladies Entertain.

The young ladies outdid themselves in
the dance given to the gentlemen last
Friday evening. 1t was an assured sue
cess from the start and everything
passed off pleasantly.
About $50 fifty couples formed for the
grand march, which was one of the most
pleasing sights of the evening. AS the
couples came around one of the young
ladies handed out the orders, consisting
mostly of round dances, and it was then
carried out. The ladies were very pret.
tily costumed, white being the prevailing
color. At couple of tables in the rear
Of the hall, presided over by four misses,
punch and sherbet were served during
the evening, and many sought the cool
ing effects of each, at intervals.
The music consisted OF an orchestra OF
seven pieces played by local musicians.
The party ended about IL 80, each ex-
tending vote of thanks to the young
ladies who had so royalty entertained
them, and many of the gentlemen express
sing wish that it might be repeated in
the near future.

A Thief Captured.

Sheriff Suloway was notified on Sun.
day afternoon by telephone that horse
and carriage had been stolen from the
stable of A. L. Gadbois & Co. of Man.
chester and not returned and that the
man had been traced as far north as
Warren. Mr.. Sulloway Immediately put
five men on his trail and the men STAYED
up all Sunday night, but did not see their
man. Monday morning Mr.. Sulloway
ascertained that team had been left at
John Rays in Passumpsic by man
who claimed he wanted it boarded and
the man gave st. Johnsbury as his resi-
dence. Mr.. Sulloway found that the
man had left Passumpsic a few hours
before, walking up the track. Another
posse of men was put on his trail and by
Monday afternoon he was caught near
Lyndon. The Manchester officers who
were hunting in vain for him at Essex
Junction came to st. Johnsbury and
identified him and he was taken to the
Manchester jail Monday night. This is
the third team that Gadbois & Co. have
had stolen from their stable and they
have every reason to suspect that the
man under arrest is regular horse thief.

Vermont's War Governors.

Under the title "The New England
Governors in the Civil War;" Miss Eliza
beth Ballister Bates contributes an in
teresting illustrated article to the April
number Of the New England Magazine,
in which photographs of Gov. Erastus
Fairbanks, Gov. Frederick Holbrook and
Gov. John Gregory Smith appear.
In the opening paragraph she says:
Vermont claims to have been the first
to throw up Union entertainments in Vir-
ginia, the first to assault Confederate
fortification, and the first to send a full
cavalry regiment from New England.
She was first in proclamations calling
for men, Governor Fairbanks proclama-
tion bearing the same date as President
Lincoln's. If the militia machinery was
rusty in other states, here it had dropped
to pieces altogether The governor,
Erastus Fairbanks, was one OF the men,
bers of the great Fairbanks house of
scale-makers. He had fought his way up
through hardship and encouragement.
Eight years before he had served term
as governor and had defeated his re-
election by signing prohibition bill.
With increased wealth, he had become
an active Christian philanthropist."

Other Millinery Openings.

A visit to the millinery openings this
spring is pleasure to any one with an
eye for the beautiful. Mrs. A. M. STAN
ton, Miss L. c. French, Miss Ella Will
hanson and Mrs. A. Boucher held open
ings last week and many gorgeous color
ings were displayed in the trimmed hats
and bonnets. At each of these stores no
pains are spared to satisfy whatever
taste may dictate. Nobby turbans
trimmed with nets and quills, stylish
walking hats, dainty bonnets and leg
horns trimmed with null and incline,
suggestive of delightful summer weather,
and flowers in profusion in all bright
shades and colors are found. The new
"Owl" rose and the dewey" trimming
are the latest acquisitions. AS ever, en-
tire black, and tasty black and white
trimmings are very effective.

The SummerviIle Bridge.

The railroad commissioners will come
here next Friday to look up the question
of a viaduct over the railroad tracks at
Summervile and it is expected that a
hearing will be held in the Avenue House
at that time. The petitioners will be
represented by Henry c. Bates and the
town by L. P. Slack, the attorney for
the town. Harry Blodgett appears for
the Boston & Maine railroad, who are
understood to be opposed to the project
on the ground of expense. Some of the
property holders who would be affected
by the erection of the viaduct will be
heard on this occasion and the hearing
promises to be full of interest to all
parties concerned.

Life in rlanila.

Ernest Peterson, a former resident of
this town who is now engaged in the
hospital service in the Philippines, has
written home to his parents in Barton
concerning his life there, that he was
never in better health in his life, although
he is not very fleshy. He says that the
heat is intense there as the hot season
advances. The fighting during the past
few weeks has been sharp; the sharp
shooters are constantly watching for a
chance to get shot at the Americans
and it is not safe to show ones self in
the day time. The natives did not ap.
preciate the lessons Spain learned to her
sorrow but like Spain they took clemency
for weakness and now they are begin
ming to find out where they are. They
do not understand how our troops can
fight all dav and night without rest, and
when the Americans charge in face of
their fire they are still more surprised.
He speaks very highly Of the valor shown
by the troops under Gen. Otis.

The next term will open Tuesday,
April 19, at $50 a. m. The work on
construction and repairs, which has been
going on for several weeks, is reaching
the finishing touches, and the effect of
the whole is exceedingly satisfactory.

vided with more ample facilities and
space for their work, and the students
cannot fail to find the improvements
which have been made most conducive
to new effort and interest on their part.
The changes in, and additions to, the ap-
pliances and working plant of the Acad-
envy insure greatly strengthened curric-
ulum, in all lines of study.

clatiOn.

The Eastern Commercial Teachers AS
sociation held it's spring meeting at
Salem. Mass, April and 8.

here, states that the attendance was the
largest and most enthusiastic of any
meeting yet held. At the banquet Fri
