Rand, last week. Mr.. Scott formerly
lived in Craftsbury but some time ago
went to Massachusetts and when the war
broke out enlisted in a regiment from
that state. He has just returned with his

had been stationed for some time. Mr..

heat was intense through the day, al
though the nights were cool and damp.
There was very little sickness among the
troops where he was stationed. He will
return to Boston soon and be mustered
out of service with his regiment the 28th
of this month.

favorites among our musical people. 1t is
hoped that many of our singers will be
able to attend this festival and also avail

We have had a great amount of trouble
each year from the bad roads in this vii
lage, Main street being especially bad in
the spring; last year the village trustees
had a part of this streetEcoated over with..a
fair amount of gravel and at this time al
thoughIthe upper part of the street is in a
terrible condition, the portion .onwhich
the gravel has been placed is dry and 4
makes a good road. Although"th b first
cost in putting the gravel on is high, the
roads need but a little work for some time
to keep them in good. repair. We under
stand thai more gravel is to be added to
the streets this summer which will i'm
prove them so that they will be- quite
passable during the mud time.
