some 800 of them, small. large, fancy

but that the said Charles H. E%llicott,
on his part, had not kept the same,
for the said Charles H. Ellicott had
wilfully deserted the petitioner, and
had neglected and refused to support
her, and had treated her with intol-
cradle severity and further setting
forth that the petitioner has three

and praying hat for the causes afore-
said the court would grant her a
divorce from the said Charles H. Ell

custody of the said children be grant
ed to her.

that the said Charles H. Ellicott re-
sides without the State, where the
process of this our cannot be served
upon him, it is therefore ordered that

of the tendency of said libel, and
given opportunity to make defence

the said Charles H. Ellicott.
Given under my hand at Montpelier

ley, raining a perfect deluge for one
hour.
1t was with difficulty that the stage
got to Middlesex Monday owing to
the washouts caused by the cloud
burst which did so much damage at
that place Sunday night, The freight
teams had to turn back as it was i'm
possible for heavy loads to cross the
washouts. When the stage left in the
morning nothing had been heard Of
the effects of the storm at MiddleseX
and the first to receive the news OF
the disaster was j. j.. Kelly, the stage
driver, upon his arrival at Moretown.

The Stars of Worcester played the re-
turn game wirh the Sodom team, at the
latter place last Wednesday, The Stars
won the score, standing 81 to 7 in their
favor. 1t is plain to be seen that the
Sodom boys are no match for the Stars
and unless they get in better shape the
teams are not likely to come together
again for we think that they are satisfied
that they cannot win frem the Worcester
boys. Time of game, two hours and
twenty minutes. Umpire, Dean Witham.
