OLD NEWBURY SEMINARY.

A handsome memorial window, contain.
ing the names in their proper order of all
the principals OF the school, is to be placed
in the Methodist church at Newbury, at the
rear OF the pulpit.
This institution fourished at Newbury
from 1884 to 1868. The principals of those
and their power was great in their day and
time. Rev. Charles Adams, who was prin-
cipal from 1884 TO 1888, was succeeded by
Rev. Osmon @ Baker, 1S38.1S4i; Rev. Clark
4. Hinman, 1S44-1846; Rev. Harvey G.
Wood, 1876; Rev. Francis 8, Hoyt, 1847;
Rev. Joseph E. King, 1848.1853; Rev. Henry
s. NOyes, 1858 1855; Rev. Charles w. Cush-
ing, 1855-1858; Rev. Fenner e. King 1855
1862; Rev. George Crosby Smith, 1862 1866;
Rev. Silss K. Qulmby, 1S66.1S67; Rev.
Simeon f. Chester, 1S67-lS6S.
The window is to be heroic in size, five
feet wide and twelve feet high. Great
credit is due Hon. Horace W. Bailey of
Newbury for his efforts in the matter. The
cost OF the window has been contributed by
prominent persons, who have gone out from
the old Seminary into all the States of the
Union. Hon. Alden Speare, Freeman !. .
Doe and Albert II. Hoyt of Boston are ac-
tive In its erection.
The erection of this window has been
steadily reaching its development for year
or more, and its execution has been placed
in the studios Of Redding, Baird & Co., of
Boston. It's dedication will attract visitors
to the old town from all over the United
States, and II will rank as one of the i'm
portant memorial windows in New Eng
land.

COUNTY POLITICS

Although convention time is scarcely two
months distant, the larger issues in Re-
publican State and National politics have 80
obscured county politics that little has been
heard regarding the probable nominees for
the various offices at the coming Washing
ton county Republican convention. The date
OF the convention has not yet been fixed
but it is intimated it will be called to meet
at Montpelier on Thursday, June 49, the
day following the Republican State conyen-
ton to be held in this city.
Considerable interest is felt as to who
will be the Senators from Washington
county in the coming Legislature and IL is
pretty certain the delegates to the Repub-
lican county convention will want to know
for certainty whether candidates for
these offices are for Dillingham;, Grout
Ross or Prouty for United States Senator
before they give them their support
1t Is generally conceded that one Senator
will come from Montpelier. Inasmuch as
l.. Bart Cross failed of the nomination two
years ago. he is thought by many to be the
logical candidate for first Senator.
For second Senator it is understood Rox-
bury will present the name of Hon. u. S.
Stanton and that he will have probably the
unanimous support of the western half of
the county. So far as can be ascertained,
no other candidates for this office have
appeared above the local political horizon
In accordance with an unwritten law,
Judge Mark Mears of Marshfield will re-
tire as first assistant Judge of county court
he having served four years next December
and as a matter Of course Hon. @. ID. Ed
gerton OF Northfield will be re-nominated
There appears strong unanimity of senti.
ment throughout the county, 80 far as heard
from to nominate E., w. Huntley of Dux bury
as the other side judge. Mr.. Huntley's
friends were ready to present his name at
the county convention Of 1898, with good
chance for his nomination but in the inter-
ests Of harmony and at the request of North
field and Roxbury delegates, his name was
withdrawn and the field was left clear for
Judge Edgerton. II is understood that
Roxbury, Warren, Northtied, Moretown
Duxbury, Fayston, Wakefield ana Middle
sex will be unanimous for Mr.. Huntey for
this office. The names OF q. A. Watson
of Woodbury. and j. s. Wheelock OF East
Montpelier have also been mentioned in
this connection but how much strength they
will develop In the future is problematical.
So well have Sheriff q. @. Graves of
Waterbury and States Attorney Il. A.
Hoar of Barre performed their duties dur
ng the last two years. that 1t Is evident they
will receive denomination without opposi-
tion.
Hon. Hiram Carleton, Judge of probate,
has for several years been the nominee OF
! both the Republicans and Democrats of
| Washington county for the Office he has
| 80 long and acceptably filled, and no one
| questions his continued tenure thereof
| High baliff George III, Fisher OF North
field has died during the year. Daniel
| Worcester Of Montpelier will doubtless be
renomlnated as county commissioner.

GRANITE POLISHERS

The granite polishers of Barre and this
city. some 260 In number. are out on a
strike as a result Of meeting OF the
Polisher's Union held in Barre, Monday
evening.
The polishers claim they are entitled to
recognition as much as the cutters and de-
mand that hereafter they shall receive nine
hours pay for eight hours work as compared
with the present schedule OF rates which 10
an average rate Of So per day for nine
hours.
They consent to work nine hours at the
increased rate but after hat time demand
time and quarter for extra time.
The polishers are confident the majority
OF the manufacturers will favor granting
their demands at the meeting of the Manu-
iaclurers' Association which 1t Is expected
will be held tonight in Barre. They also
are confident that fully half Of the POLISH
ers now out on the strike will be at work
Wednesday morning because OF their en-
ployers signing the bill.
Several Of the larger manufacturers, how
ever, are OF the opinion that this sort of an
arrangement will not prevail as they be-
lieve their association will vote to resist the
demands made by ths polishers.

AT session OF chancery court, held Mon.
day afternoon in Burlington before Chan
oellor Chief Judge Taft, decisions were rem
dered in several injunction cases. In the
case OF State VS.. Urban A. Woodbury., Her
bert K. Woodbury. and Herbert N. CLARK,
involving the banquet given by the Ver-
mont Fish and Game League at the Van
Ness house, Chancellor Taft ordered an en-
try not to be carried forward. He said the
banquet was gathering of sportsmen and
1t was perfectly legal for them to serve liq-
uor to their members 1t would not be le-
gal for them to furnish to friends and Mr..
Woodbury. would be liable II he was cogni-
zant OF such fact. While there was some
evidence that he knew there were visitors
In the dining room 1t was not sufficient to
warrant q procedure. Hence the case was
to be entered as not to be carried forward.

Three years ago a young man, while as
sisting Leland Brothers in their haying, lost
an upper set OF false teeth. During the day
the teeth had hurt his mouth and he had
taken them out and placed them in his
pocket. When he again reached for them
they were missing and have been dead
letter to him ever since. The piece of
ground on which the teeth were lost has in
the meantime been repeatedly plowed, har-
rowed, planted, rolled and harvested. Mon
day while one Of the Leland brothers was
at work tilling this land he came upon the
long lost set of teeth which were in as good
condition as though they had remained in
the pocket of their owner instead Of taking
part in all the changes which have been
mentioned as occurring to the land on
which they have rested during these many
months. The teeth have been restored to
their owner whose surprise will equal the
uniqueness OF the episode.

REBELS ACTIVE
 l ON WEST COAST
Colombian Government Greatly HarraSsed by Their
 Operations

New York, November 29. = dispatch from Guayaquil. Ecuador, to the Herald says:
 News of rebel activity on the Pacific coast of Colombia, not permitted to pass over the wires controlled by the govern ment, has been received at Esmeraldas.
 Although driven from positions com- manding the port of Bunea Ventura by the expedition brought from Panama on the steamer Taboga, the Liberal forces are op- erating in the interior east of that city. They hold the road to Cali, which is now besieged by a strong insurgent force and must soon surrender unless relieved.
 "A strong rebel expedition is now being fitted out at Tumaco, in the southeast, the actual stronghold of the Liberal forces on the Pacific coast. The armed rebel steam CTS, the Gaitain and the Salinas, which re- tired from the blockade of Buena Ventura on the arrival of the Tobaga are al Guay- auuil and cooperate with the expedition. Its destination is not known, but 1t may attempt to renew the siege of Buena Ven- tura Throughout the State of Cacuca' which embraces almost the entire Pacif1c coast line, rebel activity has practically paralyzed business. Unless the government forces soon succeed in restoring order that important region vii be ruined for years.
 Reports of the fighting at Buena Ven- tura show that the port had been closely blockaded by the Gaitain and the Salinas for three weeks when the Taboga expedi- ton arrived. The Taboga, which flew the British flag during the action, was equipped with artillery She was reinforced by the gunboats Boyaca and Darien, which had been held in the harbor by the blockade and the three so vigorously bombarded the positions on points Bazan and Soldado that the rebels retired into the interior.
 An advance by the garrison resulted Tn the capture of General Salamanca and General Hoves, who fought to the last. Three guns were also captured.
 'The Taboga took to the port a cargo or arms, ammunition and provisions. The ar tillery it carried will be mounted for the defense of the port"
