PROPER EVEN IN HIS SNORING.
Fallen Dandy Evidently Was Idol to
Kings Messenger.

When Beau Brummell, the celebrat.
ed dandy, was, in consequence of his
fallen fortunes, residing at Calais, he
had occasion to visit Paris Through
the kindness OF the consul at the for
mer place, he was enabled to accom-
pany a kings messenger to the CAPT.
tai, and thus travel free OF expense.
When the messenger returned, the
consul was curious to know how he
and his aristocratic companion had
fraternized upon the road. What
kind of travelling companion did you
find Mr.. Brummell?" asked he. "Oh,
very pleasant one, indeed, sir; very
pleasant" replied the messenger.
"Ah! And what did he say?" SAY,
sir? Nothing He slept the whole
way" Slept the whole way! Do
you call that being pleasant? Perhaps
he snored!" The messenger acknowl-
edged that Brummell did so, but i'm
mediately, as If fearful of casting an
improper reflection upon so great a
parsonage, added, with great gravity:

nell snored very much like a gentle

Most people have far too much fur

The Phoenix Libel Suits.

Allen A. Leonard of Wallingford and
Allen c. Mason of Pawlet have brought
suit against the proprietorof the Phoe-
nix this week in an action for libel
each demanding damages in the sum
of $4,000. Both suits are returnable
at the Rutland county court and in due
course of events will be tried next
March. Mr.. Leonard is a deputy sher-
III for Rutland county, and Mr.. Mason
is constable of the town Of Pawlet.
Both officers were by the direction OF
states attorney of Rutland county en-
gagged in the pursuit of Elroy Kent,
and in that pursuit visited London
derry on August 4th last. In the issue
of the Phoenix of August 9TH there
was printed in the column of the items
of news from South Londonderry an
article making statements as to the
conduct OF the deputy sheriffs of Rut-
land county while in the pursuit of
Elroy Kent. The plaintiffs claim
that the article Is libellous and has in
jured them.
The article was printed as news
item and came to the Phoenix in one
of the usual ways of securing news
items about the county. The pro
prietor of this paper has no personal
knowledge of the affair. The Phoenix
undertakes to give the news and give
it impartially and fairly; it has nc
purpose to injure anyone and intends
TO print nothing but what is true. We
shall make a thorough investigation Of
this matter and shall in due time file
in court our answer to the suit. While
the cause is pending in court the Phoe
nix will not discuss the case nor refer
to 1t other than to print as matter oil
news the progress of the case. If 1t is
found that any injustice or wrong has
been done these men or either Of then
the Phoenix will frankly and fully
state it.-Brattleboro Phoenix. 4.

markable recovery in this city. There

swollen with dropsy and the albumen
was in such enormous quantities as to
solidify in the tube.
Death was expected daily by the
physician and family, when she was
put on a California treatment that was
alleged to be curing Brights Disease
in that state The results created
great astonishment. symptoms began
to subside and recovery was then grad
ual till finally complete. The patient
has since passed for insurance.
The popularity of the treatment Is
that II does not seem to wear out, the
patient in question taking over eighty
