terday for little spin on wheels. One of
| them rode borrowed wheel, which, un-
known to him was little skittish, and
while coming down the steep hill leading
/ into Glover vi.4age on the road from, West
Glover, it suddenly threw up it's hind feet,
| pitching the rider over it's head and landed
him in heap in the road. The young man
is out this morning and says he will be
ready for another spin as soon as he can
get new wheel and gets dislocated finger
and wrist back into position.
| G. B. Harding & Co. are doing rushing
business at the tub factory at present, and
within the two weeks just past have been
| obliged to refuse orders amounting to II

Harding's management and the company
have on hand today enough orders to keep
their force busy for a long time to come.

people last evening to hear Rev. j. K.
| Fuller, who delivered a sermon fit to make
a Vermonter's blood Jingle. He spoke

me in pleasant places; yea, have goodly
/ heritage" How much reason we have for
thankfulness that we inherit good clean
blood, and the environments surrounding
US in Vermont, Ia state which has given
more great men to history than any
other in the Union according to the pop
ulation. a state in which the sabbath is
kept in more quietness than in any other.
| Mr.. Fullers friends in this village wish
| him every success in his new field of labor.
Mrs. George Reeds Russian wolfhound
| dog given to her by Mrs. James Kernochan
of Hampstead, L. l., recently disappeared.
/ Mr.. Reed sent inquiries all over this sec
| tion of the state and received information
| that the dog had been seen as far south as
! Wells River and at different points be-
tween here and there. The dog returned
! last week much to the delight of its owner.
i Mrs. Reed values the dog highly, not alone
on account of its being a gift from her
friend, but also from the fact that this par
ticular wolfhound cost $500 when it was
three months old.
The will of the late Mary Quinn settles
about 5000 in requests. Among the ben
efciaries are the Catholic Orphans Asy-
lum in Burlington, which receives $1,000,
the new Catholic church in st. Johnsbury,
which has recently been dedicated, $500,
the Catholic society in this village $50,
which sum is to be used for the purchase
of bell to be placed in the church, and
many smaller requests to friends and rel
atives. The commissioners found, upon
settling the estate, that Mrs. Quinn had
been much more liberal than the world
knew. In many instances she had loaned
money to poor people whom she knew
would never be bile to pay her and merely
received the acknowled cement of the loan
without any security.
