Landlord Black to Remain.

On Saturday F. M. Black leased the
Avenue House of its new owner M. ].
Caldbeck for term of five years. This
will be welcome news not only to our
townspeople but to the travelling public
as well, for during the 21 months that
Mr. Black has run the Avenue House he
has demonstrated that St. Johnsbury
can support frst-class hotel. At first
it was loosing venture for Mr.. Black,
but during the time that he has been here
the business of the house has increased
one third and the steady gain that has
been, and is still going on gave him cour-
age to renew the lease. By the new con-
tract Mr. Black gets the pool and billiard
room in the basement and will fit it up
in frst-class shape and run it in connec-
tion with the hotel.
The quality of the hotels of town
have much to do with it's reputation
abroad and st. Johnsbury has exper-
fenced many ups and downs in regard
to hotels during the past few years but
OF late our reputation in this respect has
been good, and the fact that Mr. Black
is to remain is an assurance that it will
not suffer in the future. The CALEDoNIAN
wishes Landlord Black and the Avenue
House'continued and increasing success.

Road Commissioners Meeting.

Hon. ]. o. Sanford of Stamford met the
various road commissioners of Caledonia
county, and some of the selectmen, at
the Avenue House last Wednesday.
Nearly every town in the county was
represented and the meeting resulted in
the exchange of a great many practical
ideas on road making. Al the morning
session H. E. Hovey of Lyndon and Hor-
ace Jackson of st. Johnsbury, two of the
oldest officers in point of service that
were present, spoke somewhat at length
upon road construction. Mr.. Hovey was
strongly in favor of a gravel road and
described in detail how he constructed
them. Mr.. Jackson rather favored grav-
el roads and said he drew 1000 loads of
gravel the last year upon the roads of
this town. He also told how he drained
the roads before the gravel was put on
and said the best results in road making
could be obtained by horse or steam
roller, though he was we'll aware that
few towns could afford the latter. At
the afternoon session other commission
ers gave their experiences and questioned
Mr.. Sanford upon various points.
During the session Mr.. Sanford read
the number of miles OF road in each town
in the county and the amount raised for
the care of the roads. The figures are
quite interesting and are given herewith:

The Next Theatrical Attraction.

"Tennessee's Pardner," comedy-dra-
ma, which was one of the most pro-
nounced successes OF last season, will be
presented at Howe Opera House, Mon
day evening, April 20. 1t was suggested
by Bret Harte's popular romance of the
Nevada Sand Hills, and is an excellently
constructed play and meritorious from
literary point of view. The plot involves
Harte's favorite High toned and Legiti-
mate Keard Dealer" a sweet waif of the
mountain in the orphan Tennessee Kent,
an adventures who marries the gam
bler's best friend; two comedy charac-
ters, and number of others who are
modelled from those found in Bret Harte's
romances.

body of deer that was chased down to
Crystal Lake at Barton by hounds. 1t
ran out on the ice, and broke through
but could not get out without help.
Some citizens helped it out and took it in
by fire but it had been in the water
over an hour and was so chilled and ex-
hausted that it died in a short time.
On Wednesday and Thursday after
moons of last week E. & T. Fairbanks &
Co. shipped two more of their big hopper
scales by express and since that time
have been sending them frequently by
freight. 1t took gang of IA men less
than three minutes to load these great
scales into the express car and the
largest single piece of the scale weighed
over 500 pounds.
e. H. Blossom, assistant superinten-
dent of the st. Johnsbury & Lake Cham.
plain road, will resign his position May
1 and accept a position in Boston or
with the new road to be built from Nor
risville to the asbestos qnarries at Eden.
1t is understood that George w. Cree,
now secretary and treasurer of the road,
will succeed Mr.. Blossom. The latter
has been here for about Is years and his
many friends wish him continued success.
"A newspaper paragraph is going the
rounds of the state to the effect that the
Boston & Maine will buy up the stock of
the st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
road and make it a part OF their system.
The directors of the latter road are heavy
stockholders in the Lake road so that it
has practically controlled the road for
many years, and the Boston & Maine
has guaranteed the interest on the Lake
road bonds. At the present time the
Lake road is operated at a net annual
loss OF about 100000.
The monthly meeting of the
Young Mems Club of the North church
last Thursday evening was devoted to
the discussion of the subject of trusts and
some of their promoters. George E.
Hazen spoke upon the life of Andrew
Carnegie; Charles H. Higgins gave char
acter sketches OF Armour and Morgan,
and A. B. Noyes presented the general
subject of trusts. After these carefully
prepared and interesting addresses the
subject was informsly discussed by half
dozen of those present.
