grand march; refreshments OF ice cream
and cake. About 200 we're present and a
nice time was voted.
Judge w. II. Nichols hands US the fol-
lowing Hearing the question raised,
tWho are voters in town meeting ?n
find that the statute reads, "Male citizens,
tweBty-one years of age, whose lists are
taken in any town at the annual assess
ment next preceding town meeting, or
who are exempt from taxation for any
cause, while residing in the TOM, shall be
voters in town meetings. Vermont Re-
ports, Vol. 55, page ASP, reads, 1.-THE term
list and grand list as they are used in
our statutes, mean the schedule OF the
polls and ratable estate OF the inhabitants
upon which taxes are to be assessed"
This disposes of the general belief that a
man must have a property qualification in
order to vote in town meeting on ques-
tons relating to the raising of money.
''The American Girl,p which opens an
engagement at Dubois a Gays hall May,
15th,is an exceptionally bright comedy
drama in four acts, written by II. Grattan
DonDelly. 1t is tale OF two continents
and appeals especially to women and
children. The play is produced by A. @.
Scammon's company, which is strong in
every part. Geo. +. Hall enacts the part
OF Ross Bolter, an American hustler, and
gives highly amusing performance. His
limitations OF prominent actors make a
decided hit. The feature OF the play,
however, is the acting of the two winsome
little girls, Lille lawson and Oracle
Hickey. frankie st. John is also favor
lite. The specialties, including songs and
dances, are excellent. The piece always
meets with popular favor and Is deserving
OF large patronage.
Friday afternoon Henry Noble stepped
into the postoifice without hitching his
span OF horses, attached to a lumber
wsgon. They were frightened by a
freight train and started at once. Mr..
Noble tried to climb into the wagon to
secure the reins but failed and started in
pursuit. In his haste and excitement be
dropped his pocketbook, containing
about S35. The horses ran down Main
street and out Park street, overtaking a
team driven by Mrs. Eugene Abbott, &C.
eompanied by her aged aunt, Mrs. Manor
"a Flint Of st. Paul, Mimi, who is spend
ing few weeks in this vicinity. Mrs.
Flint was torcibly struck in the back by
one OF the horses heads. A little farther
on the carriage was upset and damaged
somewha by the runaway team and both
ladies were thrown out. Fortunately
Mrs. Abbott succeeded in controlling her
horse until help arrived. Both ladies were
severely shaken mp but were taken into
Mrs. Mary Mann's where they soon re-
covered. Considering Mrs. Flint's years,
it is remarkable that the accident did not
result more seriously. Mr.. Mobiles horses
we're stopped near Lucius Goodhart's
without having done further damage.
Mr.. Noble found 81 so in silver in the bot
tom OF the wagon, where it might have
fallen from his poeketbO when be tried
to climb In, but the pocketbook and bills
have not been found.
