ROBBERY AT ASYLUM.

Leon Butts of Moscow, one of the
employees of the Vermont State Asy-
lum at Waterbury was discharged on
Wednesday. For a long time rob-
berries have been going on, committed
for the most part in the rooms of
some of the male employees of the
asylum. No clue to the robber could
be found but the thefts were evidently
carried on by some one familiar with
the rooms
a diamond ring, two watches and
several hundred dollars have been
missing and never located. The prin-
cipal losers were William Woods, Mr.
Warren and Mr.. Mclaughlin. A
short time ago trap was set for the
thief by marking some money. 1t
soon disappeared and was found on
Mr.. Butts He is modest young
man and was not suspected by the en-
ployees. AS there is no evidence that
he stole money previously, although
it is self evident, no charge will be
brought against him. His place is
taken by Bert Barrows.

known orchestra is a never failing
source of delight and the solos by
Messrs. Wilder and Whittier were es-

TRIB UTE TO DIR. L1ZELLE.

A large number of Dr. Lazelle' S
friends attended his funeral on Jan
uary s, at his late residence in Plain
field, and Mr.. Sheaf gave an apprecia.
tive eulogy of the deceased, but nei-
ther in that nor in the one published
in the Waterman was one of the traits
of his character mentioned, probably
because no one knew of it as we'll as
myself. 1t is not difficult for physi.
clan to treat his patrons with respect
and kindness. 1t is not as easy for
some to treat competing physician
as well, when self esteem and self
interest appear to combine to impel
him to disparage his professional abil-
ity. DR.. Lazelle and | lived in the
same village for thirty-six years and
for the larger part of that time we
were the only physician in the place,
yet he never gave me any cause for sus-
picion, even, that he had done any
thing to Injure me in business or in
any other way, and | always felt safe
to call upon him for advice or assist
ance, knowing that l should receive
fair and even generous treatment.
He did much to smooth the dis
agreeable things that have occurred to
me, as they have to every doctor. in
the course of many years of practice.

The Frost Successfully Expelled. A
Gay and Halcyon Time.

Some one hundred of the yeomanry
of Montpelier and Barre responded to
the Macedonian call of Ex.Mayor
Boutwell, to come over and help him
repel the invasion of the Frost King
whose hordes were penetrating his
dominions at Grsniteville. Arrived
at the locality of the disturbance,
the rsscuers found a princely irclosure
and received a princely welcome.
In place of the buildings burned
last spring barn of palatisl dimen-
sions and appointments has been
erected, and for the foreman house
whose architectural style and con-
struotion would not be out of place on
the best residence streets of Barre or
Montpelier. In the barn is spacious
carriage room, six wide stalls, and
two roomy box stalls. The basement
story has floor Of granite blocks and
is 10 feet between joints. Grain
shutes, watering and feeding arrange
ments, everything pertaining to con-
venience or animal comfort, make
the structure very notable one. For
this occasion, the whole building had
been warmed by stoves and made as
comfortable as we'll appointed
hotel.
After accommodating the premises
the yoemen were marshalled for the
assault on the Notifications raised on
the hay loft. These we're in charge
of Angelo Scampini, famous Italian

mercury seldom rising above 20 be-
low zero and ranging from that down
to 28 and 800 day after day The

such long period of so intensely cold
weather In the Adirondacks it was
so cold that the trains, in railroad

real with her modern triple cylinder
Baldwin engine. Before leaving the

The train is limited in its city
limits and when the train was just
leaving the city and BEGINNING to speed
up, little, the trailer wheel located
just behind the rear driver snapped
like pipe stem, the steel being made
so brittle by the intense cold that it

from the cab and struck his forehead
on the rail of the adjoining track
He is seriously, if not fatally injured.

them AS they were coming out of

SIX SUSPENDED.

Middletown, Conn, Jan. As a
result of hazing scrape in Wesleyan
University last month, President
Raymond of that institution last night
suspended six memb ers of the sopho-
more class, until the mid year exami-
nations in February and ordered them
to leave town by Saturday night.
They are: Arthur K. Dearborn,
Middletown; Clarence E. Hancock,
Syracuse, N Y; Arthur j. Munroe,
Brattleboro, Vt. /; Frank II Syrett,
Montclsir, n. j., and Ralph NJ Cole,
Tottenville, N. Y. The trouble had
its beginning in the attempt of a
number Of sophomores to haze Frank
B. Taylor of Cambridge, Mass, on
December 16. He prevented their
first attempt 60 enter his room by pre-
senting revolver, but they returned
later. Taylor fought his way through
the crowd with screw driver and
struck Howard Richards of New
Haven over the eye, causing the loss
of sight OF the eye. Learning Of the
affair, the faculty took summary ao-
tion. The students drew up res
olutions disproving the action of
the faculty on the ground that to
single out six men of the class was
unjust, there having been many more
students implicated in the hazing,
President Raymond says the incident
is not closed.
