three crops Of potatoes per year is now
undertaken by the farmers Of his sec.

Thomas says: "The second crop Of
Irish potatoes, planted in August from
the seed Of the first crop. which was
planted In March and harvested in
June, has become very important la
dustry. In this immediate vicinity
about four thousand bushels have been
harvested, and the quality is superior
to the first crop. and much better than
northern, both for seed and eating, A
number Of our farmers have planted
the third crop. which will be harvested
In March. and of this crop the mode OF
culture differs materially from that Of
the first and second crops, 1t Is but a
short time since the expectation Of pc
tatoes was thought Of. Now It Is lu
crativo business. Think of Il; three
crops In a year. The future will show

B. F. Bowman, Vermont agent Of the
Central Vermont, has arranged for and
will have charge of another party going to
the great exposition. This is primarily a
private party gotten up by Hon. IL. w.
Bailey of Newbury, but there is nothing
exclusive in the arrangements. The car
viii start from Wells River on Friday,
Sept. q, and will take passengers for
Buffalo from along the line OF that rail-
way and the Central Vermont, leaving
Montpelier on the 5:55 p. m. express.
Tickets are good for fifteen days and the
fare for the round trip is s11.90.
The members OF the Book Club met last
Saturday afternoon .at the home Of j. p.
Cleveland. where they were entertained by
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Lewis. The
literary exercises, which were mostly in
memory of President Mckinley, consisted
OF the following: Current events, especially
OF the last two weeks, by Miss Nellie
Harwood; extracts from Senator Hoar's
speech at the memorial exercises in
Worcester, Mass, were read by Mrs. Bass;
poem on the "Martyr President" by
Mary Wheeler Wilcox, was read by Miss
Nancy, and a paper on lace making BY
the Indians, by Mrs. White. Light
refreshments were served.
Interest being revived, by the death of
Mckinley, in the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln, II is worth noting that our
townsman, c. w. Proper, was in Ford's
theatre at Washington the night that
Lincoln was shot. He was at the time
cashier in a restaurant and on the night
in question attended the play at Ford's.
He sat in the sixth row OF the parquet,
heard the shot fired by Booth, was able to
look into the presidents box and had
full view Of Booth as he vaulted from the
box to the stage below and made his
tragic utterance and exit. He was one OF
the first to rush onto the stage after
Booth, whom he had previously known as
leading actor. He was also acquainted
with Boston Corbett. who shot Booth.
There is considerable dissatisfaction in
town over the summary falling of Dennis
Cassidy under execution issued in favor of
j. H. Lamson. Cassidy is a day laborer,
without any means whatever, and the
town must pay his board in Chelsea jail as
long as he stays there. He has little
girl who is left without mother to look
out for her, and must also be supported by
the town. Nobody wants to see Cassidy
dodge his rent, but there is no prospect
that the falling process harsh in itself
will bring him to time. Dennis is hard
worker and with proper management OF
his finances ought to get along without
trouble, but this element seems lacking.
The town has no interest in the matter as
between the two parties, and naturally
dislikes to foot bills of this kind. Town
Agent Church and Overseer Beedle have
retained j. ID. Denison to look after the
towns interests. habeas corpus has
been issued by Judge Rowell and hear
ing set for Saturday afternoon at chambers
here for the purpose of determining
whether Cassidy is lawfully imprisoned.

soldier. Mr.. Darling gave his personal
recollections OF the assassination OF Presi-
dents Lincoln and Garfield, and called at
tention TO the fact that those tragedies
were distinguishable from this in the re-
spect that each of those could be bic
10 some motive. whereas in the present
case none could be discovered. Mr..
Darling was severe and emphatic in de-
nouncing the followers OF anarchist do
trines, and advocated laws which would
make attempts upon the lives Of rulers
treason. and punishable as such. He
called attention to the fact that great
many good people were too prone to be
harsh and censorious in their criticism of
our rulers, particularly if the rulers hap
pened to be OF the opposite political
party. He closed by saying that while all
true hearts were bleeding at this national
calamity we should bear in mind the
thought suggested by the last words of
the martyred President, st is Gods way;
His Will, not ours, be done"
Rev. w. +. Allen spoke to the students
and young people present in a very earn
est and patriotic address. He drew lessons
from the day for them to follow through
life that would make them better men and
women and better citizens Of this beauti
full home land of ours.
Principal John NJ Comstock presented
a tribute to the dead president in the form
of John Boyle O'Reilly's poem, "Mid-
night which he read.
Judge William II. Nichols of Randolph
was the last speaker and we give in brief
some Of the good things he uttered. Pres
ident Mckinley was a self-made man. He
began at the foot u the ladder and work
ed his way to the top. He carried a gun
in the civil war, the great st civil war the
world ever knew. Why, do you stop to
think, only two short weeks have passed
and how much has been crowded into
them. Our president shetland died-and
new president in his place-and still the
country goes right along-so far as the
government is concerned, it is the same
today as then. Garfield was killed by
man who had a personal grudge against
him but who had nothing against the
government, but the man who killed Pres
ident Mckinley did not have anything
against the man, but il was the govern
ment, the president, who represented it,
to whom be struck the blow. We have
got big job on our hands to civilize the
people of the Philippine islands, but We
as government have another job that IS
far more intricate to deal with and that is
the anarchists in our country.
The audience then sung America" and
the exercises closed with the benediction
by Rev. A. j. Eastman.
The exercises had lasted for over two
hours, bat the large audience remained
perfectly quiet through the whole. A sol
emn hush Of mourning seemed to be over
all, both old and young, in the death OF
President Mckinley.
