The Avenue House Reopened.

After being closed since March II, the
Avenue House was reopened Thursday
with Landlord Andrew Folsom at the
helm. The house has undergone extern
sive changes during the past few weeks
and the general expression is that it is in
better shape than ever before. An at
tractive entrance on Railroad street
admits to the elevator and stairway
leading to the office on the second floor.
which is pleasant room, excellentlv
fitted up tor the purpose. Another large
room is devoted to smoking and writing
room.
This is an addition which has been
greatly needed in the past and i'll prove
very useful to the travelling public. The
parlors remain as before. The walls of
every room have been tinted in attract
i've shades and the woodwork has been
entirely re-hnished. The office force con.
sists OF A. c. Blodgett, dav clerk; Harry
Moulton, night clerk; Jack Bertrand,
porter; Henry Folsom, bell boy. 1t is
evident that the travelling public has not
forgotten the Avenue House, for the reg
lister shows that during the first five DAYS
more than SO persons were guests there.
The Iandlordship of Mr. Folsom certainly
starts out uspiciously and the CALEDo.
MAN unites with the people at large in
best wishes for the success of the house
and its landlord.

Increased Tuition at the Academy.

The trustees of the Academy have an
nouhced that beginning with the next
term the tuition at the Academy will be
increased from $36 year to SAG, divid.
ed by terms into SIT, SIG, and $13.
The trustees are forced to take this step
because of the fact that the Academy
cannot pay expenses at the present rate
OF tuition and they have explained their
position in an open letter to the people
OF st. Johnsbury, which has been widely
circulated throughout town the past
week.
As explained in the letter the town Of
st. Johnsbury has been paving the
Acadeuy $33 60 year for the tuition
OF town pupils who have been graduated
from the ninth grade of our public
schools, The trustees now ask that this
sum be increased to SAG per pupil. AS
the town school directors do not care to
take the responsibility of such a stem
Without the consento the voters, a town
meeting will probably be called sometime
next month to ask instruction from the
voters OF st, Johnsbury.

-Four generations were present and the
occasion was 4 very enjoyable family
gathering,
On March l, 1850, Mr. Randall moved
to St. Johnsbury from Sheffield to work
at his trade as a carpenter. The first
work he did was to make 1873 doors for
the old Passumpsic House, which was
| then in process OF construction, ans on
! Monday, when CALIFORNIAN repr esen-
tative called to congratulate him on the
event OF his S0th birthday, he found him
busy at work at his old trade, finishing
| off a tenement in one of his buildings on
Randall square, apparently as mucn inte-
res ed in his occupation as he must have
been so years ago. The talk drited to
the Railroad street OF those days, and
Mr.. Randall told in an interesting
manner of the street as be found it.
In 1850 the railroad came to St. Johns
bury, and that was the year Railroad
street was born. Two burrows were
turned up by the plow about as far as
the present gully, where a hill then
blockadtd the way, and these outlined
tie future street. The only building on
the street then was the Joseph P. Fair
banks farmhouse, now occupied by MIS-.
Kate 6. Brock. AS was said, the Pas
sumpsc House was under construction,
and that summer Amos Morrill, OF Dan
vile, who had charge of the construction
OF the railroad shops and buildings, built
what is now the ell part of the house oc-
cupied by the Gilman brothers. Eastern
Avenue was laid out and worked during
the spring.
Mr.. Randall bought the lot where his
block now stands shortly after coming
here, for 5000, and in 1866 erected a
3Ox50 building, two stories in height.
In 1868 the building was enlarged to its
present dimensions, and later, additions
