NORTH HYDE PARK.


Our people are still listening for the loco
motive whistle.
But few DRINKS the past week. What there |
were, we're OF a mild form unworthy of notice |
q. B, Allen continues to be the busiest man |
in this vicinity or any other that we know of
DR.. Eastman and wife go to Montpelier the
present week to attend the medical conven-
ton.
Mrs Maria Robertson of johnson spent a

past season, has closed his laboTs and re-
turned home for the present.

ILL.,, last Wednesday. There she expects to
meet friends that will escort her on the
Journey of life, for a while at least.

| Irving Bailey, former North Hyde Park
! boy, now of Underhill, Vt, is making his
mother and brother Leon a short visit
| Irving is looking as fresh and as fair as a

| Albert Heath can well go to the head on
1
| SO, with fair prospect OF 80 or 40 more in a
few days, if his setting hens attend to bust
| ness.
Rev. r G Clapp, who is supplying here
! during Rev. Mr.. LOehin's absence preached
his first sermon last Sunday. He made an
excellent impression. We shall all like him
Come out and hear him.
The gold excitement in this vicinity con-
tinues undated. If reports are true and
could the old pine tree Oh what is known as
the D. Wilson farm, speak, its language
would astonish the natives. More anon.
Ira ODER had the pleasure of viewing three
wild deer near his home place one day last
| week. He did not say which were the more
scared, he or the deer. The fish and game ex-
terminatoTs ought to be notified at once
Norman Adams completed his labors with
W. FL. Nye and has returned home. He
speaks very highly of Mr.. Nye and his treat
ment while in his employ, plenty to eat,
good place to sleep and something to do
most every day.
Prof P. A. Parren is booked to enighten
the good people of the east half of Orleans
| county on the cussedness of intemperance, or
the beauties of temperance, or both. He ex-
poets 10 be absent 10 days or more May
success attend his efforts.

|
Cobb last fall-new barn and other improve
ments Also Joseph Burnett, our village
blacksmith, is making extensive and expeu-
sive repairs on his buildings.
W. }. Parkhurst can go to the head on
| large trout. He captured one last week that
| measured II inches from stem to stern and
was well proportional. We saw it, but did
not taste it. Will ought to join the state fish
eXtPrminatOrs and attend their "banquets."
Ashley Dodge, who resides on Johnson
| Plot, had the misfortune to lose four out of
seven nice cows one night last week by hang
ing by the head till dead. The stable floor
gave way, letting them into the basement
below. The stanchions refused to give the
poor creatures relief in their time of need. A
sad job for Mr.. Dodge as he is a hard work
ing man and can lily afford the loss. The
state COW butchers have lost the job OF slay-
ing tour innocent healthy milk glvers at the
expense of the state.
Bertron Lampher ST., and his wife Mary
have been having some more misundeTstand-
ings on the liquor question. This time, some
four weeks since, Mr.. l.. visited some of the
adjoining towns. On his return brought
home a pint of rum just for his stomach s
sake He set it in the usual place, feeling be
he'd a remedy near in case his mortal body
shGulG become affl ctod In due time he be
gan to feel the usual symptoms approaching.
He at once made rapid strides for the remedy,
drew the cork and commenced to get outside
of the contents. Before he got outside OF
half the contents, he began to strange and
choke and gag and damn his poor wife Mary
for changing his rum to water. She pro.
claimed her innocence which proved to be
true as Bert Lamplfer, Jr., afterwards ad.
| mitted that he was the one who made the
change. Then Mary had the floor and made
the closing argument in her own favor, re-
sulting in Mr.. Lam her leaving Mary's home
with his effects inside of 20 minutes, standard
time, which he most grac fully performed and
had several minutes to spare.
Yes, we have returned to the place of ou1
childhood and still composed of flesh and
blood and the grip-had it when we went
away and all the time we we're absent and
) are not over it yet, but are better We had q
, very pleasant time, considering the weather
and our infrmties. Found the children al
: well and busy, which means enough to eat
and a good place to sleep with temperate
habits. We visited the state Legislature and
many other places of amusement while away
All had to do was to take off my hat and
tell those in charge that | was from North
Hyde Park and acquainted with the Fence
Viewers of Hyde Park and on speaking terms
with c. NJ. Gray, Ed Billiard and Z Gallop o.
North Hyde Park, C. N. Harrington and
Alfred Crowell of johnson. That was all that
, was necessary to give us free access to all the
dives, beer saloons, police stations and
rogues galleries that we cared to visit. We
met hundreds of people on the sidewalks
every day that never seemed to notice us
neither said good morning" nor chow dc
you do" We forgive them for the reason
they did not know who we we're, or where We
were going, or where from. In conclusion
we trust II any have dropped the Citizen by
reason of our absence they will renew al
once. sEWELL.
EDEN.
