NEWS OF TIE STATE.

The school committee of White River
Junction have issued a signed statement
10 regard to a boy punished by the prin-
cipal of the High School in that place, : ~
ing there Is no occasion whatever for the
unreasonable stories that have gone fOrlb
and the vile and wicked attacks that have
been made upon the principal. There il
no evil ence worth credence that any un.
due punishment was inflicted, and the
story about the electrical apparatus being
applied is without foundation.
Randolph Is in some respects the most
peculiar town in the state. It has i've post
offices. Besides Il railroad I: has three
stage lines and three telephone lines all
owned by rs many different companies.
Its farmers patronize eight ere meries six

Unique Summer Home at Proc.
torsville.

George r. Blanchard of transport
tation fame has one of the most
unique summer homes in the state
of Vermont. "Nalemont" is at the
lower end of the village of Proctors-
Vile. The house is peculiar in con-
struction but the interior is where
the surprise comes; it is completely
filled with antique furniture, crock
cry and curios from this and foreign
countries.
Mr.. Blanchard's private room is a
museum of antiques. There he has
lamps, idols, implements of war and
other relics from India; cushions,
fans and vases from Japan; pipes,
war implements. ETC., from Turkey;
in fact there is something from every
part of the known world.

The north entrance to the canal
lust north of the Rutland railroad
bridge at Bellows Falls is being ma
terially widened. Some 20 feet OF
earth and rock on the west bank has
been removed and dropped through
the ice to stop leaks in the Connec-
ticut dam. A large quantity of rock
and dirt beneath the water will have
to be removed by diver next
spring. Strong piles have been
driven for Is feet along the west
bank and work was begun on laying
"A wall which will be about Is feet
long and will slope from the waters
edge to the surface of the Rutland
roadbed. This change makes a di-
rect current from the river into the
canal and will greatly increase the

Hen. A. n. Swain writes anothe
interesting chapter concerning thu
famous 1919" who in this state voted
the liberty party ticket for presiden
in 1870. Three survivors only hav,
been found. Their names and tn.
town where they voted, all in Orange
county, are:
Jonathan Stearns Perham, Brook
field.
Joel Grove Stimson, STAFFORD.
Lewis Holmes, Bradford.
A NORWICH MAN ONE OF THE SUR
vIvoRs.
Joel G. Stimson, now of Nor.
witch, was born in Greensboro, July
g, 1872. He lived in Stafford in
1870 and there, with fifteen others,
voted with the "immortal 49,"
His first wife was Juliet Walker.
They had one son, William H. Mr..
Stimson's second wife was Cynthia
r. Stone of Cabot. Their children
were Edward Payson, physician,
Charles W., farmer living in Nor
witch, Martin Luther, clergyman
and missionary to China, and Juliet
w., graduate OF Mt. Holyoke COL
lege. In 1874 Mr.. Stmson went to
Waterbury, there he engaged IN
trade until 1868, when he moved to
Norwich where he is today, and his
name will be found in Walton's
Vermont Register for this year 1900,
as it has been for more than half a
century, still in trade. January IS.
1900, in answer to inquiry MIR.
Stimson writes very modest letter,
in good hand, and in speaking of
lS3S-4o says:
II was Wing in my sentiments,
but on the advent of the Liberty
party | joined and voted as l prayed
that the oppressed might go free"
From other sources many inter-
esting incidents of his life are learn
ed. Among them is one which, it
is said, occurred at Waterbury. He
is one who has practiced what he
has preached. One day Young
colored man and his wife arrived at
the depot. They had travelled nights
from the south to escape slavery and
were footsore, hungry and pennilcss,
and the woman sick. Mr. Stimson
was hailed on the street, in sarcasm
and derision, about his love for the
negro-spe lied with two g's-and
challenged to show his sincerity in
this case. Instantly he started for
the depot, found the fugit,ves, took
them to his home, and sent for his
family physician. In week the
woman recovered and Mr.. Stimson
was warned by Il fellow "under-
ground railroad" director" that
United States marshal was on the
way to capture his guests and per-
haps make trouble for him. That
night he bundled them into an ex-
press wagon in an unrecognizable
condition and sent his eldest son,
lad of sixteen, to take them to an
other "station"-a farm house-trom
which they soon escaped to the free
land of Canada.
On one occasion an ardent Wing
with copious tears appealed to him
to vote for Henry Clay, but he was
more affected by the tears of the
slave.
MIR. Stilnson has always been not
ed for his liberality in the cause of
humanity. When the Civil war
closed, he sent, at his own expense,
two lady teachers South for the
One of these was Miss
Lucia Garvin Swain. She went
from Woodstock, was a native of
Reading, is now Mrs. J. S. Camp
bell Of Omaha, Nebraska, and has IL
son who volunteered in the army in
the war with Spain.

TRAINING HORSES.
Prepnrin. the New Animals For the
Circus Ring.

Preparing the New Animals For the
Circus Ring.
All through the winter circus men
are training the animals for new tricks
for the next summer. The winter is
by no means an idle time. Training
horses for the ring Is interesting work.
The first thing done is to put the new
horses in the stables with the old cir.
Gus horses to get them used to their
new company. and queer thing no.
ticed Is that the old horses are jealous
OF the newcomers.
\ great deal of patience and time is
required 10 train the horses to rHn
around the ring. They arc blindfolded
and taught to run around the ring in
circle. The natural tendency of the
horse Is to run straight, and it is n
hard thing for him to learn. A sys-
tenn Of checks and lines makes the
training easier than formerly.
The horse H. an observant animal
end apt to do what he sees another
horse do. SO when the blindfold is It.
moved he is placed alongside an old
GAINED horse. and the man who is to
ride the new animal does tricks with
tie old ones. then trcS them on the
pupil. \ good. intelligent horse soop
learns and actually helps his rider.
Horses are very sensitive to applause
and with THAI stimulus will do twice
as much work As without. They are
Just as likely to lose their heads as llu-
man performers and have 10 be care
fully watched. A well trained ring
horse is easily worth $1,000. and rid
ers who are stars usually own their
horses. The most careful attention Is
given these animals. Before each act
their backs are rubbed with resin,
which has to be washed off aftcrward.
