FINAL SETTLEMENT

The JOURNAL of last Friday made brief
mention of the presence in town Of Hon. @
A. Prouty Of Newport and others, and of
their attempt TO settle with Vermont stock
holders in the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
and Trust Company. Beside Mr.. Prouty,
the committee representing the stockholders
was composed OF II. @. Royce OF st. Albsns,
w. P. Smith of st. Johnsbury, Henry Bal
lard Of Burlington, L. Bart Cross of Mont
pelier and Attorneys Young & Young OF
Newport. The Vermont stockholders OF
the defunct concern through this committee
finally decided to settle for twelve cents on
the dollar, and the affairs were wound up
on that basis.
The history of the company is familiar to
all Vermonters. Much of the stock was
held by Vermont men and women, and at
the time of the failure. four years ago, many
people in this vicinity were hard hit.

any virtue in the food he will be blessed
with colossal nerve.
The residence OF II. W. Coburn at North
Montpelier was broken into between twelve

awakened by man in the room where she
and Mr.. Coburn were sleeping. She awak-
ened her husband who gave chase to the
burglar. They ran through several rooms,
the thief finally escaping through windo
MIR. Coburn was sure he recognized the in =
truder as Fred Field, who works for Aus
tin Cate, neighbor. On being charged
with the crime, Field stoutly denied 1t, and
offered to accompany Mr.. Coburn to Mont
peier which he did Monday morning.

rowly escaped fatal injury while w tching
the erection Of a tent on Haymarket square
on Friday afternoon He stood directly be-
hind one OF the men who was driving a
stake with hatchet when the blade flew
off the handle and struck the boy in the
right shoulder. Fortunately the wound
was not deep and did not cut an ar.
terry, though 1t was of such length
that several stitches were required to close
the cash. The little fellow showed good
grit after he was hurt and during the dress
ing Of the wound.
President j. w. Titcomb of St. Johns
bury has iesued a statement regarding the
midsummer meeting to be held at Isle La
Motto on Friday, September 6. at which

OF honor. Among other things Mr.. Titcomb
says: "These meetings in the past have
been so successful, added to the fact that
we are to entertain and be entertained by
a most noted man and thorough sportsman,
means that our hospitality will be thorough
ly taxed, and 1t is very important that
should know before hand how many men,
bers want to attend 1t will be impossible
to entertain ladies, but every member OF
the league or branch club can be accommo-
dated Covers will be laid for one thousand
people at the banquet"
The case of State against Frank Ccrcoran
OF St. Johnsbury. for keeping bucket shop
was called ia Caledonia County court Fri
day morning. This case Is a familiar one in
the Supreme Court and Caledonia county
court dockets, and is OF general interest,
because IL is in the nature of test case. 1t
was heard on demurrer at the October
term OF Supreme Court. The opinion was
handed down in January, but had never
been filed with the official reporter OF the
Supreme Court. The respondents council
moved for continuance because owing to
their ina ility to secure the Supreme
Courts ruling, the case could not be pre-
pared. The motion was granted by Judge
Tyler and the case goes over to the Decem-
Der term. Before this motion was made by
respondents counsel three hours had been
put into an attempt to empanel jury.

Johnson asked his help in the work OF
unloading, which the negro insolently re-
fused to give and some words followed
whereupon Foster threw rock and struck
Johnson over the eye, then ran off. AT
first the wound was not considered seri-

gan to vomit and suffer terrible pains
in his head and finally became unconsci-
GUS Medical aid was summoned, but
he died before the doctor arrived Upon
examination the skull was found broken.

1T is known that the castor oil bean

tural Department, that experiments be
made, planting these beans near resi-
dences to prove their efficiency. They
are great improvers of the soil. If they
will also keep away chills and fever

Strong Constitutions.

Many animals lack in constitutional
vigor, simply because their parents have
been allowed to get too fat, and have not
had enough exercise to keep the muscles
firm and the digestive organs active, while
others have failed because of the feeder
having gone to the opposite extreme,
failed to feed enough, and in giving exer-
else have exposed them to cold and hard
usage The box stall or pen is better for
the breeding animal than closer conhne
ment. and as much good food as they
will eat better than a scanty ration, but
it should not be what is called carbona-
ceous or heating and fattening food, but
such as to produce muscle and growth oil
frame. Out-of door exercise is needed,
but that does not mean standing still in a
cold storm or wind until chilled through
or being turned out to drink ice water &c
chill the internal organs and the unborn
offspring.
