Quite nice strings of trout have been
brought into the village since the law was
off on the first of May. The brooks and
ponds far and near have all been visited
by fishermen in quest of trout. A certain
gentleman in this village who had heard
of May Pond and it's beautiful trout, but
who had never visited the pond, started
out one morning at an early hour deter
mined to bring back nice string of trout
in time for breakfast. He wendell his way
up the hill until he came to beautiful
sheet of water when he unWOund his line,
prepared his bait, dropped the hook into
the water and watched for the expected
catch. Long and patiently he waited but
the speckled trout, if there were any in
the pond, were wary Of his hook, and he
finally returned in disgust to the village.
Later in relating his experience to friend
| he was surprised to learn that he had been
| fishing in the village reservoir!
NJ. W. Johnson has just purchased
very ingenious machine called the improv-
| ed edgeironer. There are two cylinders,
one heated by a little gasoline light and the
| other mOistened to wet the edge of a col
| lar before it is ironed and polished on the
hot one. It works to charm and burn
nishes the edges of the collar which under
| the old process were rough and uncOm-
Portable. Mr.. Johnson has also just in
| troduced into his laundry a gasoline en-
CINE which he admires very much. 1t is of
seven horse power but it is SO gagged it
can be run to do the Zig htest work. Every
thing about it appears to be nicely ad-
| justed, occupying only little room and
making very little noise. We were not
aware Mr.. johnson washed carpets but
saw several there being cleaned. The
many improvements indicate that the pro-
prietor is keeping abreast of the times.
| State Superintendent of Schools w. E.
Ranger sends the following notice for

The Laws of Vermont require that 1.-THE
last half days session of the public schools
before Memorial Day shall be devoted to
| exoroicaC commemorative of biStOrv Of
this nation during the war of the Rebellion
and to patriotic instruction in the princi-
| pies of liberty and the equal rights of

minded of the near approach of Pre-
Memorial Day and urged to begin early
arrangements for its appropriate observ-
ance. In the fitting cOmmemOratiOn of
heroic lives and in the worthy consider

our children and to contribute a potent
influence for better citizenship. The state
superintendent of education will soon issue
a circular with suggestions for the Observ-
ance of this day. The union of schools IN
sucn observance is heartily commended.
