hall on Tuesday evening. Three of
the charter members, Mrs. f. r.
Smith, Mrs. Amanda Newcomb, and
Mrs Mary Snow, were present. They
gave interesting talks on the incep-
ton, growth and work of the corps
during all these years Mrs. Oliver
Wheelock, the present president OF the
corps, would have been charter
member had not surprise party Of
1875 friends detained her at home on
the evening the corps was organized.
Chief of Police Brown and Deputy
Sheriff Camp of Barre created consid-
cradle excitement on Friday afternoon
by running down South Main street.
They were followed by throng of
boys, and business men rushed to their
doors and windows to rubber, " evil
IDENTIFY thinking the officers were in
pursuit of some desperate and escap-
ing criminal. Such, however, was not
the case. The officers had been at
tending county court and were sprint
ing to catch train for home. They
also were disappointed for the train
for which they wasted some good
speed to catch was only work train
and they had several minutes wait
at the station.
AS a result of the Injunction placed by
the city upon the continuance of work
upon the Central Vermont trestle near
the Sabin crossing the workmen engaged
there were set to work removing the
sunken railroad bridge near the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad car works.
At first, as the structure was taken apart,
the timber was allowed to float down
stream and lodged about the apron of the
Cotton Manufacturing Company's dam.
This was demonstrated against and now
the debris is taken ashore. 1t will be
loaded on cars aud carried away This
work of removing, not only this bridge,
but the Granite street bridge from the
stream at once was demonstrated to be
important this morning when it was
found considerable ice had come down
stream and lodged against them.

at Trinity church vestry on Friday
evening was very large and the occa-
sion was thoroughly enjoyable. The
first hour of the evening was devoted
to social converse, during which Rev.

their power to make strangers feel at
home. Later, games were played, an
old fashioned sing was enjoyed and a
scene, in correct costume, was given
from "Little Lord Fauntleroy,
with Richard ellison as the Earl,
Ralph Walker as footman, and little
