the annual banquet and sugar party OF
the Nermonters in San Francisco az the
invitation OF the president Of the associa-
tion, Mr.. George Partridge, formerly OF

The five-year-old son Of Mrs. Maggie
Chaussey has developed fancy for bontires
without much judgment as to suitable
locations for them. First fine blaze was
discovered within two feet of the back
door to q. w. Barnes store and upon be-
ing molested bya crowd Of excited grown
ups with hose and extinguishers, the
young man betook himself to the corner
of Merchants Row and Pleasant street
and attempted to ignite with matches the
grass by Mrs. r. G.. Morton's house, oc-
cupied by Mrs. Ellen Young. Tuesday he
happened on chance fer glorious con-
fiagration in box Of waste paper and
other inhammable material at the rear of
j. f. Lamson's grocery store, and had the
flames cracking merrily in no time.
Again his fun was interfered with and he
sought refuge in the cellar of the Red
Lion Inn, from which he was chased by
y. II. Dyer with such a warsglaoop that the
youngster fled bowling, confident that ALI
the Indians left in the United States were
right at his heels. Z
m. n i \ l. II.
landlord. Harry Harnden, who has been
conducting ii FOR year past, left town
yesterday by team, which he hired, giving
South Royalton as his destination. BE eiose
his departure he mailed letters to tlrs.
HarDden and his clerk, notifying them
that he had left for good and instructing
them what to do to wind up his connec-
tion with the hotel. II is understood that
Mr.. Harnden's finances are all right, that
he is owing little, if anything, in town and
that his sudden departure is due chiefly TO
domestic infelicities. He came here
from Windsor, where he had been in the
hotel business, rented the Red Lion Inn and
purchased the furniture OF j. w. Brown.
being backed by j. G. Eneight of Windsor
to whom he gave a mortgage of the goods.
Mrs. Harnden's own furniture is being
stored at NJ. L. Chadwick's on Ran
dolph Avenue and she Will shortly leave
town. The unhappy experiences OF Ran
dolph's chief hotel the past few years
have been a source of chagrin to every cit
izen, and it is sincerely hoped that the
next management, whatever it is, will
prove more successful than recent ones
have been. A well-conducted hotel has
become a real necessity to every 1--we, pro-
gressiye town.
The concert in Grange hall Friday
evening by the Goddard Seminary male
quartet OF Barre for the benefit OF the
Randolph fire company was very excel
lent entertainment but had so slim an
attendance that the fire company instead
of being benefited in financial way lost
about s16. The quartet, which sang de-
lightfully, was composed of Marx A.
Davis, 1st tenor; Alfred +. Cadger, 2nd
tenor; g. Richard Grant, baritone; and
Harry b. Tarbox, basso. The vocal solo,
"Bandelero," by Mr.. Cadger. the piano
forte solo by Mr.. Grant, who is Ran
dolph boy and son of Mr.. and Mrs. V. A.
Grant, and the violin solo, ''Ia Sonnam-
bula.n by Mr.. Tarbox, and the vocal solo
by Mr.. Davis with violin obligato were
especially well received. The quartet
was assisted by j. Ward Carver, reader
who made a favorable impression here
last winter, which his appearance this
time served to deepen His selections,
'sThirty years with a Shrew," "Pyramus
and Thisbe' and FARMER stebbins at
the Bat'' were genuinely appreciated and
enthusiastically encored. There were
about thirty couples at the dance fol-
lowing the concert, and the music, piano,
violin and cornet. furnished by the Barre
company was all a dancers heart could
desire.
