There is to be a Christmas tree at the

The New York parties who have been
cutting and earring Christmas trees in
this and adjoining towns during the fall
did large and lucrative business with
all who engaged in the work. The farm.
ers who sold them find no profit in it,
as they sell the trees for SIS per thousand
and the high stumps which remain will
be growing nuisance.

Opera House Burned,

About 1890 Tuesday morning while
returning from East Hard wick George O.
Kimball discovered fire in the town hall
or opera house, in which the ]. P. Hall
Comedy company played but few hours
before. The building was burned to the
ground and is thought to be partially
covered by insurance. The fire origi-
mated from the furnace in the cellar. The
building, which was worth about SIS 900,
is ruined. Nothing but the francis saved.
There was $500 worth OF nearly new
scenery in the building, nearly 700 opera
chairs, piano worth $500, and other
furnishings, all OF which were burned or
charred and water soaked. The man
ager OF the show said he could smell
smoke all the evening, and asked the jani-
tor il something wasn't on fire, but no
FIRE was found at that time. Part of the
]. P. Hall Comedy Co.'s goods, which
were in the building, was saved, being
near the door. There are several houses
near the opera house, and had the fire
not been discovered when it was, these
might have been burned.
The building was owned by the town
and was used for town and village meet
ings. 1t was remodeled into an opera
house four years ago at considerable
expense to the town.
G. H. Bickford, general manager Of the
Woodbury. Granite Co., has been in
Bethel the past week inspecting progress
made at the new quarry there. Investi-
cations that have been made seem to
prove that the one point to be feared in
this quarry does not exist, namely, that
the granite sheets were TOO thin for
practical purposes. To test this question
the company has been boring down many
feet in solid ledge and taken out core
few inches in diameter which showed one
layer four feet thick.

He has also given the Methodist Semi
nary at Montpelier $500 and he gave

the official board of the Methodist church
at Danville tor years; very liberal in
supporting it and all other benevolent
enterprises connected with his church.
No one was ever turned away when an

has made many one happy by kindness
and gifts bestowed upon them and all
that ever knew him can truly say good

reward.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
BUSINESS. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. You can get this
reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug
Store.

The Venezuelan Arbitration.

London, December 27-The press
today is almost unanimous in ex-
pressing regret over Roosevelt's re-,
fusal to act as arbitrator in Venezue-
Ian affairs, believing that the award
by him would have commanded uni
versal respect. They say there has
been down right fear that the pro-
cedure at the Hague will be dilatory,
and as it's award will lack guarantees,
it will not be surprising if Venezuela
repudiated it's decision. The general
belief is that Roosevelt is not obey
ing the whispers of uneasy politicians
in refusing, but the dictates of his
own judgment on mature view of
the facts and the feelings of his peo-
pie.
Paris, December 27.-A Caracas
dispatch received here today says the
agreement to submit the German,
English and Italian claims to The
Hague tribunal is satisfactory to
Castro.
Berlin, December 27.-Germany is
disappointed at Roosevelt's declina-
tion to arbitrate the Venezuelan
troubles, but will refer to The Hague.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year
when the prudeut and careful house
wife replenishes her supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. It is GER
tain to be needed before the winter
is over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it
has become settled in the system
In almost every instance a severe
c,ld may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first
indication of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. It is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it. Buy
it and you will get the best. It
always cures. For sale by J. E.
Kaufman.
