Joseph Coreveau, in trying to drive from
the railroad yard across the track ahead
OF a freight train Friday, caught one run
ner on a rail and was thrown out, striking
on his head and shoulder. The crossbar
to the sleigh broke and the horse made a
short dash through the square before be-
ing captured. Mr.. Coreveau was consider
ably bruised and shaken, and the sleigh
was so much disabled that it was left in
the depot yard.
DR.. and Mrs. G. w. Scott entertained
the members of the Eastern Star and their
Masonic friends, to the number OF 81 in
all, last Thursday evening in a very de-
lightful manner. Music and games fur
nished entertainment, and a committee
that understands the art of catering for
such occasions served refreshments OF
sandwiches, cake and coffee. Musical
features Of the evening were piano solo by
Mrs. Louis p. Booth and violin solo by
Roland A. Smith, with Mrs. Booth as ac-
eompanist.
Besides Bank Examiner Fish, Randolph
had visit last Thursday from Mr.. Birds
eye Of Burlington, assistant postoffice in
spector for this division, and from George
Gilchrist Of White River Junction, assist
ant route agent for the Central Vermont
Railway company, the latter stopping here
for few hours on his way to another
point. The presence OF three such finan-
cial overseers made Thursday with the
business part of the community seem like
a spring house cleaning or one of Aunt
Dinah's clarin' up days.
b. A. Manchester had little accident
Monday evening when he went to the sta
tion to meet Mr.. and Mrs. +. A. Thomp-
son returning on the 5:19 express from
Brattleboro. He had double sleigh and
one horse and after Mrs. Thompson was
seated he started to swing around to the
postoffice to take in MIR. Thompson. In
turning, one runner went onto an icy
snow bank in front OF the station and the
sleigh tipped over in trice, its occupants
and entire contents being thrown out,
while the horse fell. No one was injured
and after a short delay in getting the ami
NAL TO its feet and reharnessed more sue
cessful start was made.
"General State Deputy Dana II. Morse
has been at work in Addison county for
the past month says the Middlebury
Register, 'sexplaining the aims and objects
of the Patrons Of Husbandry, with the re-
suit that he has organized three Of the
strongest and best oranges in the state,
one each in Bridport, Shoreham and Corn
wall. The one in Cornwall was organized
with 5S charter members. Mr.. Morse
informs US that he has never in all his
work in this state met better or more
intelligent class OF farmers than in these
three growing oranges. The grange is a
great educational, fraternal society that
seeks 70 make the farmers life better,
more enjoyable, and his occupation more
profitable. The best farmers OF the state
are members of il, and wherever its merits
are explained il grows FAST
Saturday was such a tempestuous day
as TO give rise 10 the suspicion that the
March lion had arrived ahead OF time in a
fine state OF rage, thrashing his tail and
roaring frightfully. A heavy rain all day
honeycombed the snow, which let the I'M
suspeetng traveller sink over his boots
through the treacherOus crust, leaving
footprints that looked like succession OF
deep wells, while to distract his attention
and prevent his worrying every step lest
his Christian sole should be interfering
with Chinese temple, the sportive wind
turned his umbrella wrong side out and
carried his hat on a trip through space.
He had TO let il go as cheerfully as he
could. for to pull his feet out OF the depths
fast enough to achieve a run in its pursuit
was out OF the question. During the
night staging on the roof of Dubois q
GAYS block blew over Merchants Row,
carving piece OF slate with IL, and land

store. tearing down his sign and taking of
pieces OF the show window frame without,
strange to say, breaking the glass
