The Prison Board.

One of the new laws passed by the last
Legislature provides that prisoners de-
tanned in the county Jail on the charge of
ntoxication or as tramps shall work
not more than 10 hours each day of their
confinement under the general super
vision of the prison board. This body,
as provided in the same law consists of
the assistant judges of the county court,
the sheriff and the county supervisor of
highways. The latter office hasj Just been
filled by the appointment of George o..
Ford OF Kirby and the prison board is
therefore complete. There are now ten
prisoners in the county Jail and it will be
the duty of the new prison board to
provide for them manual labor within
or without the walls of the county Jail
each day of their Imprisonment, except
on Sundays or on legal holidays"

Special Village Meeting.

The voters OF this village hardly neec
to be reminded of the special village
meeting at the Town Hall this evening
at 7 O'Clock to take action upon the by
laws submitted by the trustees. These
have been published in both the local
papers and some of them, at least, have
been pretty freely discussed by our citi-
zens. Several new ones are proposed
besides those now in force and the ninth
bylaw in the warning provides for the
control of all places in the village where
drinks are sold or disposed of as bev-
erage. There are 1412 names on the
village check list and yesterday a circular
was sent to every voter urging his at
tendance on the meeting and reminding

SUPREME COURT.
Special Term Adjourned Wednesda

The special term of the Vermont SUI
preme court adjourned Wednesday after
only session of two days. The court
heard Wednesday the case from Essex
county offs. S Place VS.. the Grand Trunk
Railway which was an appeal from the
lower court of the verdict awarded the
plaintiff of 1885 for having his foot
crushed while working on freight train
in the defendants railroad yard in
Island Pond. The arguments in this
case were presented by H. W. Blake of
Island Pond, for the plaintiff; and States
Attorney H. B. Amey of Island Pond
and l.. l.. Hight of Portland, general at
torney for the Grand Trunk company,
for the defendants. The arguments were
completed Wednesday noon and the case
$ with Judge A. A. Hall of St. Adams for
decision.
The Orange county case of Martin c.
Rowell against B. Frank Kicker, submit
ted on BRIEFS was left with Judge James
NJ. Tyler of Brattleboro.
Concerning the courts construction of
the new law the Essex County Herald
says
The law providing for special terms of
the supreme court was intended to ex-
pedite the disposal ofcases and save
parties expense, but the construction of
that law as announced by the court at
St. Johnsbury will work great hndrance.
Under the construction of this law, cases
from certain counties can be tried only
at the special terms provided for those
counties, which means no oftener than
once a year, whereas formerly such cases
could be tried at Montpelier at three
terms during the year.

A Red Hot Destiny.

A very small girl had a great deal of trouble making her dolly sit straight. Dolly would slide over side ways and tumble down so often that the little mother was out of patience with her china daughters disobedi- ence. At last she said: "Oh, dollyi You are just as wicked as you can be. You'll have to go to the bad place, and you won't burn dead; you'll live always, an just sizzle an sizzle."

These shoes, it may be remarked, are made in the most practical shades and kids, and can be cleaned with prepa- rations specially made for them, and the colored stockings are everywhere to be had of suitable warmth.

Japan's Iron Coinaqe.

In Japan an iron coinage, begun about 1636, has existed up to the pres ent day. A curious coin made of a mixture of silver and copper was long in use in Japan. It varied in size from small pea to large bean. Lead coins were also used there for five centuries. Glass was employed as substance for coin for many centuries in Egypt, while wooden money is men, toned in many of the Buddhistic writings.
