Lack Of Care of the Fountain.

Complaint has come to the writer's ears
of the lack of care that the fountain re.
ceives on our beautiful park. Children, it
is said, throw stones and sticks into the
basin of the fountain, wade in it, and keep
it stirred up so that what flows into the
watering tub in front of the residence of
Don Boutell is unfit for animals to drink.
II seems pity that so lax state of things
exist, and we regard it as demoralizing to
the children to be allowed in such mis-
chevous acts. And it seems there should
be some rules and regulations that should
be strictly carried out After legacy has
been left US as this given by Mrs. Fanny
Reed, to beautify our village, it does seem
to the writer it should be sacredly kept to
her memory, whose kind deeds we are so
often reminded of. We are sure if any one
had it in their heart 10 make gift to the
town, they would be discouraged in doing
so, in seeing the way this gift we are speak
ing of is cared for. Last winter the usual
covering was not put over it and it was
left to the mercy of the elements. If there
is no one whose particular business it is to
look after the fountain and care for 1t as it
should be, should not some one be appoint
ed to take it in charge?

The adjourned meeting of the Alumni
association Of Leland & Gray seminary
met at the Academy Saturday evening
last, and adopted constitution. 1t is de-
cided to hold an alumni banquet some
time during the commencement week next
year. No doubt that this association will
be able to do much for the interest of the
seminary.
Miss Hicks and Miss Spence, with two
nephews, from New York city are again
in town as boarders at Fred Livermore's.
Miss Hicks is connected with the city mis-
sion and it is very interesting TO hear her

Miss Hicks would talk in public Of the mis-

be very interesting.
Some time ago there was little item in
serted in this column saying that MRS.
Mary Parry of Townshend had in her pos
session a powder horn, the property Of
Mrs. NJ. II. Phelps of Pasadena, Calf.
which for fine workmanship and as a relic
is a treasure, with fine carvings, etc.
Elijah Case, it says, Of Semsbury had
this horn made Nov. :, 1918. Elijah Case
of this town (the father of Mrs. John
Dale) is a direct lineal descendant of this
| Elijah Case three or four generations
gone. Mr.. Case would be glad to COM
municate with Mrs. Parry but knows Of
no one here by that name.

and report a most delightful time. On the

summer is an observatory and with glass

Although the butter makers were well

until it was proved to be decided dam

The Academy has made a change in the
looks of the side hill. In the changes of
property to get suitable grounds, Selah h.
Holbrook became possessed of the old barn
which he has removed We do not think
this barn amounted to much or that it has
for 80 years last past, but its removal
brings recollections of early days in this
town. This barn had stood there for 100
years. 1t was the old barn on what was
the farm of Joseph Brown, who was one
of five brothers who came here in the early
days, Joseph somewhere about 1895. He
was a reputable man, a constituent
member of the Baptist church in 1905.
His son, Joseph Wright Brown, succeeded
10 the farm at the death of his father in
1927. On the death of Capt. Wright the
farm was divided and is now owned by 10
or u different parties, including Mr..
Heads Academy. Goodbye, old barn,
welcome, Academy.

Talk about a mortgage on'the govern
orship," in the name of w. W. Stickney,
is simply fippant tommy rot. Stickney
has the mortgage" on that or any other
office that any man of merit or proper
ability holds; the mortgage" that Nor
rill or EdmuDds held on the senatorship:
the mortgage that any man deprived by
wrong or fraud of the enjoyment of an
honor which majority Of his par Y asso-
cates had designed for him has when that
honor is again up for popular disposal.
Honor, propriety, decency, the eternal it.
ness of things constitute, in Mr. Stickney's
case, mortgage" on the governorship
which, like the rose, smells as sweet by
any other name partisan pettiness may
call it Montpelier Journal.
The talk of Hon. W. w. Stlckney's
mortgage on the governorship was started
by one of his own organs, and it distinctly
specified that the Republican party "owed
him the nomination next year for the
reason that he was defeated candidate in
a previous convention. All of which is
mighty poor logic, to say nothing of horse
sense Perhaps Mr.. Stckney is the most
available man, perhaps he is the logical
candidate, perhaps the interests of Yer
mont may be best advanced by having in
its executive chair a railroad attorney.
Time will tell about these matters. But
let not his friends fall back on that weak
est of all reasons for his nomination, the
fact that he has once been a candidate and
defeated Rutland News.

Colonel William l.. Strong performed
almost as many marriage ceremonies
while he was mayor as Smith Ely had
before him. and Colonel Strong made one
record. He performed the ceremony that
made Oliver II. L. Belmont and Mrs.
Alyah one. and this gave him the dis
tiuction OF marrying a richer and more
prominent American couple than has
ever been welded by any other Gotham
mayor Ii was Mayor Hewitt's fortune
TO marry the late Duke of Marlborough
10 Mrs. Hamersley-now Lady Beres-
ford-and that gives Abram S. a record
Of his own, for no other duke was ever
married by an American mayor, but does
not detract from the quality or impor-
lance of Mayor Strong's.
Both these well known couples were
content with the civil ceremony only be-
cause in each case one Of the parties to
the marriage had been divorced and so
could not Toe married by a clergyman Of
the Episcopal faith.
Colonel Strong's greatest trouble as q
marrying mayor rose from the old fash
Toned custom that the official solemnizing
the ceremony should salute the bride
This is a custom quite as often honored
in the breach as in the observance, and
Colonel Strong would have been pleased
had it been always thus. for he is 10y ma
ture a. modest man. He wouldn't have
been quite so unhappy had there been
some uniforr ity in the wishes Of the
various brides whom he united to the
SWANS of their choice, but there wasn't,
and the colonel could never tell whether
any given bride would or would not ex-
pect kiss from the mayors lips. 1t
was fairly safe rule, however, that the
good looking ones would scorn the salute
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1899-08-04
Extreme Cases.

There was one pretty bride, though,
who not only expected to be kissed by
the mayor, but insisted upon it,
She is now Mrs. Titus Werner; then
she was Miss Nellie S. Titus and has
since been famous as the woman lawyer
who was cast out of the fold by the
Society Of Friends because when APP
pionted receiver of a saloon keepers
business by the courts she accepted the
trust. When the ceremony had been
concluded, this comely young woman put
up her cherry lips to the mayor, but
somehow he seemed not TO know good
thing when he saw it-that time anyway
and he merely flushed, turned and
walked away. Was the pretty bride TO
be thus rudely turned down? Not she.
She followed the colonel till he was
ashamed to retreat farther, and then she
kissed him fairly and squarely on the
lips, TO his edification probably, after all,
and the sure enough approval of every
one of the spectators then in the mayors
room.
An antithetical case was that of a
brideof plainly Senegambian blood and of
Virginian birth. She and the bride
groom both told his honor that il was
the thing in their whole lives of which
they were proudest that the mayor of
the great city of New York had made
them one, and she put her up her lips as
entreatingly as had the good looking wo-
man lawyer. But the mayor wasn't to
be caJoled this time. He lodged the
bride so palr'bly that she gave up the
effort to get kiss from him without any
further ado. DEXTER MARSHALL.
