:. IN the statement above it viii be observed
of 1897 was made in the first half OF 1898, and
is. accounted for thus: -
Business was quite good in the first half
of:1S9S by reason of abundant cereal har-

.;iots of money" enabling them TO pay or
lJeved the financial stringency that had been
prevailing in the first half of 1887 and prior
thereto.
The clearings of the second half year of 1898
would have been much larger had not the
season lS97-1S9S been a dry year" which
caused the cereal crop to be about one-third OF
the usual amount. and consequently the grain
farmer has received little money with which
to pay off ''old Scores
The: clearings were augmented during the
year by transactions arising from unusual
trading in securities and army supplies and

The Nuisance Cases.

Several of the nuisance cases which
arose from the beer prosecutions in st.
Johnsbury were brought before Judge
Thompson as chancellor last Thursday
on demurrers. The attorneys for the de-
fendant keepers and property owners are
Hon. H. c. Ide, Bates, May & Simonds,
H. B. Howe and Marshall Montgomery.
States Attorney L. P. Slack is assisted
by his law partner, Alexander Dunnett.
The vigorous and learned argument in
support of the demurrers by Judge Ide
was met with equal strength OF argument
by the States Attorney. There are mo-
tions i'll the contested cases for jury trials.
The cases all stand on practically the
some basis, except that against Allison &
Davie, keepers and Citizens Bank property

"Ship Ahoy."

Having got accustomed to seeing a
steam roller pass up and down Eastern
avenue the presence of large boat on
the avenue Saturday did not attract the
attention it deserved. The boat made
the trip down the avenue in good time
and is now at Joe's Pond. The "Min-
neola" is owned by James S. Sanborn.
During the winter he remodelled the
boat by increasing its seating capacity
to accommodate 25 people. 1t is now 80
feet long, 7 It. beam, draws about 80
inches of water and is run by horse
power engine. With the exception of the
machinery the boat is of Mr.. Sanborn's
own design and construction and has
been used by him for a few seasons at
Lake Memphremagog. He has now
taken it to Joe's Pond for his summer
vacation, and in response to a very
general demand he will allow the boat
to remain there during the season and
arrangements can be made to accommo-
date picnics or camping parties who may
wish to use it.
