their homes Speaker Merrifeld will re-
main in town over Sunday ana will an

convenes Tuesday afternoon.

augufaton of Governor Mccullough and
the delivery by him to the joint assembly
of his inaugural message This message

sure to receive the most careful consid-
Grafton.
The license bill introduced to-day in the
Senate by Senator Backus of Rutland
county and the one introduced in

identical. These bills differ but slightly
from that introduced in the Senate on
