place were attacked at daylight By
force OF Trans7aalers, roughly esti.
mated at 1900 They lad placed four
Or five guns il position on hill 5, 400
yards east Of the British camp and fired
plugged shells. The artillery did no
damage. The British infantry formed
for an attack and got their guns INTO
position.
After the position Of the Beers had
been shelled the British infantry ad-
vanced to the attack and after hard
fight, las sng until 1850 p. NJ, az almost
inaccessible position was taken, the
Beers retreating eastward. All OF the
Boer guns were captured.
General Symonds. the British CON-
mander, was wounded.

CANTON, Miss, Oct. s0.-The little
town of St. Anne, 20 miles east Of Can.
ton, in Leake county, was last night the
scene of horrible tragedy sequel to
the burning OF the Gamtrsll family the
night before. Joe LeGo-e, negro, who
was captured by a posse, confessed that
he, in company with other negroes, had
tied Mrs. Gamb-ell and her four chill
dren to the floor Of her house, saturated
the surroundings with kerosene and
burned the unfortunate people alive.
The negro, after the confession of his
awful crime, was promptly roped to
stake ard burned to crisp while the
citizens looked on n grim silence. Ar.
other negro, Bob Anderson. was saved
just in the nick OF time, as some doubt
existed as to his guilt.

The fact that Vermont is not keep
ing pace with the rest of the union in
population may be brought home to
us unpleasantly when the reappor-
tionment of. representatives in Con-
gress is made after the next census.
Tt is very likely that Vermont's rep
resentation will be reduced to one
member. This will have disturbing
influence on the politics of the state,
especially as it will affect the So
called mountain rule. We may ex-
pect one or more of the aspiring
candidates to take up their domicile
on Mt. Mansfield or Cancels Hump,
in order that they can claim support
from each side of the state.-Herald

Commencement day at the Univers-
ity of Vermont was marked by a
steady downpour of rain, which be
gan about 6 O'Clock in the morning
and continued until after the corpo-
ration dinner in the afternoon. The
rain did not, however, dampen the
enthusiasm of the graduates of the
University for their Alma Mater and
the announcement that Hon. John Ell.
Converse of Philadelphia had supple
mented his former generous gifts to
the University by one of $500 to es
tablish chair of economics and COM
merce and by further offer of $4,000
towards the construction OF a gymna
siEm, conditioned on the raising of
$4,000 more, made the prospects of
the University SO bright that the alb
sence of the sun was forgotten. The
day marked the 50th anniversary of
the graduation of the class of 1849,
and three of the class were present to
celebrate the event. They were Hon.
Henry A. Burt of Swanton, ex-Gov.
Roswell Farnham of Bradford and
Rev. Edwin Wheelock of Cambridge.

In the wrestling match there was a
dispute over a decision given by the
referee, DR.. Gaines, of Newport and
Mr.. lO'Neil, whom the decision was
against, refused to como out a second
time and the match was given to Mr..
Mcdonald. The decision in dispute
was one in which the referee gave
Mcdonald the credit of a fall from
O'Niel's breaking his hold, and al
though the doctor without doubt de-
cided it as from his position he
thought to be right, there seemed to
be no doubt in the mind of the spec
tators who were close to the ring
that both men broke their hold and
that the decision should have been
given to neither of them. In the tug
of war the men formed on the ground
to pull and there was a little discus
sion as to whether all of the men be-
longed in the town where they were
credited and as it was very late with
several more heats of the races to be
trotted it was thought best to post
pone this event until fair time, when
it is expected it will be on the list of
attractions. Tommy, the "Guideless
Wonder," was sent around the track
twice with running mate; the first
time he made the mile in 2:27, afford
ing much amusement for the specta
tors.
The attendance was about fourteen
hundred and all appeared to enjoy the
days sports very much. Everything
passed off quietly and we have no
doubt but that all present would be
glad to attend a like meeting here
each year. The fair ground people
are doing all they can to get the
grounds into shape for a good times
later and the people will without
doubt give them the same strong
support in the future which they have
in the past. Let the ladies remember
that their exhibitions will not be
covered with dirt this year as they
have been heretofore and send in a
good display; this will also apply to
the home merchants, who will now be
able to exhibit their goods without
being damaged. The people who
have been demanding a new barn and
sheds will be suited and there should
be larger crowd at the fair this fall
then ever before.

ACCOUNT OF THE RACES.

Last Wednesday, the day appoint
ed for the grand celebration at Roar
ing Brook Park, was a very wet day,
the rain starting early in the morning
and continuing nearly all day. Al
though quite number of people were
on the ground it was thought best to
postpone the races and other events
until fair weather, and consequently
it was voted to adjourn until the first
fair day. Thursday morning proved
fair and cool and the people COM
menced coming early in the morning
in anticipation of the good time to
come. The fair ground association
have been expen6ing large amount
of money in fixing up the grounds;
floral hall has been foored and
sheathed on the sides and new tables
made on which the exhibitions are to
be placed. This will be a great i'm
provement as it will do away with
the great amount of dust usually SO
troublesome during fair time. A new
barn has been built for horses, and
also a good place for the sheep, and
barn will be erected later for the cat
tie, SO that everything will be in first
class condition for the fair in Septem-
Der. This expenditure will place
quite debt upon the association, but
as soon as their finances will admit it
is their intention to enlarge the track
and bring the judges stand to the
center of the grand stand. 1t was
hoped that the celebration last week
would prove financial success and
thus help to raise a part of the debt,
but being unable to hold it on the ap-
pointed day the crowd was much
smaller than would have otherwise
been and the association made but
little by the days receipts, so that
they are now nearly fifteen hundred
dollars in debt.
The sports opened Thursday morn
ing by the ball game between the
Lyndonville and Barton teams. The
game was a very close one and was
preciative audience. The visiting
team won by a small margin, but
both teams played a very strong
game, it being, perhaps, one of the
best ever played on the ground. Had
it not been for one or two costly
errors by the home team it might
have required more than the usual
nine innings to decide the supremacy.
Following is the score:
