For several days past b. M. Shepard has
observed that his setter was having trouble
with his nose. This morning he made an
examination and found stick had lodged
in one of the animals nostrils, probably
while out hunting, which when extracted
was found to he three inches in length and
and the size OF q late pencil. The dog
does not appear to have suffered any injury
from the obstruction outside of the rfita-
tion produced before its removal.
Prof. e. A. Bishop, ID. d., formerly the
efficient principal OF Montpelier Seminary,
| now president of Chamberlain Institute
Randolph, N. Y, retains a lively interest in
the city that was for many years bis resi-
dence. Closing business letter Just re-
ceived at this office he says: The McKin-
ley good times have struck us out here

That fine rifle, 1903 Savage, owned by G.

indeed, for a practical knowledge of which
we have to thank Mr.. Smith. The open

A contemporary states that the sentenc-
ing of Nancy Stevens OF Middlesex to the
asylum at Waterbury sis the outcome Of
the road case, when she prevented the men
| from widening the highway with firearms"
There seems to be something wrong in this
statement. Contemporaneous reports OF the
affair were to the effect that the men were
widening the road with the proper tools for
such work, not with firearms. II the latter
were true the road makers, not Nancy,
ought to have been sent to an asylum for
the insane.
| Harry Dearborn, one OF the professional
decorators who has been in town during
the past week, returned Mon1ay to his home
In Sangus, Mass. Mr.. Dearbor is MASTER
alarms on the battleship "Texas" and is
away on leave OF absence. He was on the
Texas during the battle of Santiago and
is able to give very interesting descrip-
tion of the fight. Mr.. Dearborn was never
in Vermont before, but he is charmed with
Montpelier and with the treatment he has
receiv ed here. During his stay here he
had rooms at the home OF Sheriff Bancroft.
The demand from Montpelier for tickets
for "The Christian" at Barre opera house
Thursday evening rejoices the heart of
Manager Lapoint, and again assures him
| tDAU nTSJ GLASS; hlbtdCblOub III Will
draw a liberal patronage from this city.
With the best seats at $3.50 the demand
bids fair to exceed the supply, and the
house will probably be sold solid by Thurs
day morning. A few good seats still re-
main which can be secured by telephoning
to the Red Cross Pharmacy, Barre. Ample
accommodations on the electric road will be
furnished.

Ale xander Dumas novel entitled, "Twen-
ty Years After" is brought to mind by an
interesting incident connected with the
pastorate Of Rev. Newton Glazier of the

or twenty-three years ago. Mr.. Glazier
united in marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Frank j.
George who now reside in Worcester. In
making out their marriage certificate he in
advertently neglected to sign it. After all
these years he is visiting in the city and Mr..
and Mrs. George have presented the certih-

Mrs. Maria Bingham, who was a former
resident of Montpelier and will be remem-
bered by the older inhabitants as Maria
Kimball, and later as Mrs. John Barker,
whose husband was a merchant in Mont
pelier some years ago, died at her home in
Cleveland Ohio, on the first instant after
a lingering illness. She was lady greatly
beloved in her adopted city for her most
noble Christian character and most tender,
affectiouate and lovable disposition. She
had warm heart and open hand for all OF
Gods needy ones, and it was her delight to
be at the front in all works Of charity, u.s.
ing the means God had put into her hands
as a faithful steward. She has left large
circle OF friends to mourn her loss.
