by a large and appreciative audience at
Athenaum Hall, Saturday night and his
lecture on "The Making OF Vermont"

in St. Johnsbury The lecture was given
under the auspices of ST. John de Creve-
cour chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and the speaker
was gracefully introduced by Mrs. P. F.
Hazen. The lecture traced the brave and
successful struggle our Green Mountain
Bows made to preserve their homes and
their lands from the New York land
grabbers down to the date OF the states
admission to the Union. Judge Stafford
was frequently interrupted by applause
and at the close the audience sang one
verse of america The four hundred
who were privileged to hear this lecture
are @, eatlv Indebted to the local chapter
of the D. A. R., as we'll as to Judge Stat
ford, and left the hall with a much
clearer idea of the issues involved in the
struggle, as well as a greater degree OF
patriotism and admiration for these
revolutionary heroes of our own state.

Fire at the Freight Depot.

Sparks from an engine yesterday after
noon set the roof of the freight depot on
fire and the first alarm was given by one
of the engines in the yard. The depart
ment responded promptly and several
streams were soon playing on the roof.
The fire was on the side of the building
which covers the track running through
the depot so little damage was done to
the freight stored in the building. The
flames were soon extinguished and the
building will have to be re-shingled.
