The heat of Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday was something extraordinary
for the season. The hot wave appears
to have extended as far west as Chicago
and caused much suffering there. 1t
also was severe in New York city. The
shower Of Wednesday afternoon abated
the heat somewhat in this vicinity
Yesterday at noon Alexander Daniels,
who makes his home with his son-in-law,
E. II. Bruya on South street, had
stroke of paralysis. He had been down
town as we'll as usual at about l | O'Clock,

In our report of the Decoration day
exercises appeared the names of "Andler
and Rooney, credited by Mr.. Foster in
his speech with heroic act during the
civil war. That should have been
"Chandler and Rooney"-and the Chand
Ter no less person than the well-known
j. S. of Ripton. Acknowledgements come
tardily sometimes, but they should reach
the right person when they do come.
The program for the commencement
concert of the class of 80, Middlebury
college, is taking shape. The committee
has secured a quartet of singers from
New York, of which Miss Mabel Bond is
member. We understand that n
part of the quartet's repertoire is recent
ly set to music passages from the Rubai-
vat of Omar khayyam, and that
this will be in the program to be render
ed here.
The forest worm has Just appeared in
BrattleborO. Some sage over there pro-
posed method of stopping them, and
quite number of people had acted upon
the suggestion before the experiment
station put stop to it. The plan was to
cut away a band of bark at the base of
the tree-trunk and fill in with tar, cover
ing the whole with tar paper. Killing
the trees is, of course, a sure means of
getting rid of the worms.
The extremes of temperature in the
village during the week were exceptional.
Last Friday noon the thermometer regis
tered So at noon; that night it got dow n

took place at night. During May only
2 is inches of rain fell; rainy days. .

Report comes from Proctor that the
Vermont Marble company will erect this
summer twelve new dwelling houses
with all modern Improvements. They
will be offered for rent, and the company
will find it has made good investment.
Middlebury capitalists could realize
handsomely from like investments. For
the most part tenement houses in the
village are ancient structures with no
improvements. Modern houses with
reasonable rental rates would never be
without tenants.
Vigilance appearsto have been relaxed
In the fight against the forest worms, the
tar on the trees being allowed to dry off
and the cotton to blow away. This is
the time when the worms go into cocoons,
where it will be hard to get at them. If
they are allowed to enter the chrysalis
stage of their existence and become
moths later on, they cannot be prevented
from depositings eggs for next years
crop. As they make their cocoons in
the branches of the trees, as many as
possible should be kept down and
destroyed.
