 The village sexton, in addition to being gravedigser, acted as a stonecutter, house repairer and furniture remover.
 The local doctor, having obtained a more lucrative appointment in another county, employed the sexton to assist in his removal
 When it came to settling up accounts the doctor deducted an old contra ac- count due by the sexton. He wrote at the same time, objecting to the charge made for removing his furniture
 If this was steady it would pay much better than gravedigging.'
 The sexton replied:
 'Indade. Oi wud be glad ave a steady job: gravediggin' is very slack since you Ieft.r

the statement which Mr.. Harris made
concerning " Blood Wine" II will be

years ago was a remarkably healthy
man, being seldom, if any sick. About
that time l had severe attack of con-
gestion of the liver, which left my
health shattered. ] could eat very
little and gradually wasted away, to a
mere shadow of my former self. My
normal weight before 1 was i'll was 100
lbs. and 1 lost flesh so that l barely
tipped the scales to 154 lbs. ] was so
weak that l could not walk to the post
Office short distance, without being
greatly exhausted. Well, had tried
physician and physician, and also medi-
cine after medicine, some of them MAX
ing me worse, and some of them gave
me no relief whatever. One day / saw
an advertisement in the newspaper of
Blood Wine.' AS last resort l went
slowly down to the corner drug store
and purchased a bottle; at that time
my stomach was in fearful condition !:
could eat nothing without the most
distressing nausea and life was actually
a burden. Ten minutes after / took
the first dose of Blood Wine l felt
better, and from that day to this, l
have been continuing to improve. /

and enjoy every mouthful of it and can

Letter to A. ID. FarwelI Co.

Dear Sirs: Clothing is just like
paint 1t fits or it don't; it wears
or it don't; turns weather and water
or not; ana goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did
you ever think of It'll? Different per-
sons have different reasons, no doubt,
but one paints Devoe for beauty, to
be in the fashion, and keep-out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint.
There is beauty in paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And buildings are
costly and fashionable; put-on a
waterproof two or three coats of
paint, and you buildings last as long
as you keep them dry. 1t costs nothing
to paint; it costs your buildings not
to-
Devoe is the paint that lasts; dis
appointing paints are the paints that
COST
Yours truly,

H. a. $LADE
COW And LANTERN.

A COW belonging to Juan De Col
LANES, who lives on the upper Berlin
road a few rods beyond the city
limits at Hill street, emulated the ex-
ample of Mrs. O'Leary's famous COW
on Thursday morning by kicking over
a lantern and causing fire which
destroyed the barn where she was
domiciled Unlike the famous Chic
ago cows unfortunate move, however,
the resulting damage in this case was
comparatively small. About 6 80
O'Clock Mr.. De Collaines went to the
barn and finding some trouble with a
COW s foot attempted to remedy it,
at the same time holding the lantern
in his hand. The COW switched her
tail, accompanying this movement
with kick and between the two the
lantern was thrown from Mr.. DeCol-
laine's hand against the side of the
stall and in short time the whole
structure was in flames.
Mr.. DeCollaines succeeded in getting
out the live stock, consisting of two
COWS, yearlipg heifer and horse,
but about two tons of hay and some
farming tools were destroyed. He
figures his loss at about $500 and car
ried insurance in the Vermont Mutual
which partially covers it. He plans
to rebuild soon.

NORTP FIELD ROBBERY.
Alleged Burglars Captured on Fri.
day Night

Mortified, Oct 17,-Two arrests
were made last night in Mortified
which the officers believe solve the
mystery of he burglaries committed
on Thursday night. Eugene Davis,
aged twenty, who resides with his
mother, Mrs. John Davis, in this viii
age, and and Neil Knapp, aged
twenty one, whose home is in East
Montpelier, are the persons arrested,
and they have been taken to Mont
pelier and lodged in Jail to await
further action of the law
On Thursday night three burglaries
were committed here two of which
were in the very center of the village
The clothing store of Colburn and
company was broken into and relieved
of overcoats, suits, and dress suit
cases to the value of $500 The
Mortified News office and the North
field creamery were also entered but
nothing was taken it is thought.
Chief of Police Joseph Fitzgerald set
at work to ferret out the persons who
did the jobs. He found some clues
which pointed to Davis and Knapp
and further investigation convinced
him that he was right, though his
evidence at chat time was none too
strong He called in II. @. Shurtleff,
of Montpelier, as counsel in the mat
ter and as result search warrant
was issued authorizing search of the
| Davis house, which is close by Michael
Broggi's saloon. Deputies George
Lsckey and Martin Fitzgerald went
from Montpelier to Mortified on the
evening train. They remained at the
Mortified House until midnight, when
they started for the Davis house, re-
! enforced by Chief of Police Joseph
Fitzgerald, Fred Fuller, w. A. Shaw
and Prof. II. A. Chase. The house
was surrounded and admission de-
manded. A ten minute parley finally
resulted in the door being opened an d
a search was made which resulted in
the finding of four dress suit cases I'M
| ueT Ulle WOOuSneu lOOF anu large
amount of new clothing between the
| floor of one chamber and the ceiling
of room under. In the chamber
boards in the floor had been taken up
and replaced and some heavy furni-
ture put over the place.
Davis and Kapp were at once ar
rested The officers say that Davi
tried to make his escape through a
window cut saw Fuller under it.
The clothing and grips found are the
same that were stolen from the Col
burn & Co. store. No property was
! found which came from either the
News Office or the creamery. but it is
thought by the officers that the three
breaks were made by the same person.
The case will be brought before the
! special grand jury now in session in
Montpelier at some time next week.
Knapp had been in Mortified but
three or four days and Mrs. Davis
says she did not know he was staying
with her son. Knapp's father is a
blacksmith in East Montpelier.
