Another sensation has been created at
Montpelier Seminary by the expulsion OF
young woman, who has confessed to stealing
money from her mates. 1t appears that
small sums of money have been missed by
several of the girls of late and suspicion
pointed strongly to this young woman. She
was brought before the faculty and con-
fessed her guilt. Her parents are respectable
people residing in the eastern part of Wash
ngton county and her father has sent
check to Principal Davenport to pay any
losses the young women may have sustained
through the acts of his daughter.
