Annual Village Meeting.
Small Attendance and Little Excite
ment.-A Vote that the Village
Collect the Highway Money
from the T0wn.-Large
Sum Involved.

The annual village meeting held last
Wednesday was very quiet one, the
candidates nominated at the citizens
caucus being elected without a dissent
ing vote. Only $50 voters cast ballots
during the day. A tax of 80 cents on
the dollar of the grand list was voted,
which is the regular rate. No report
was made on the advisa ability of install
ling a paid fire department as the COM
mittee asked for an extension of time.
It was voted to allow them to report at
an adjourned meeting on Tuesday,
March /, at seven o'clock in the evening.
1t was voted that the compensation of
the village treasurer be fixed by the vii
lage trustees and that the action of the
trustees in paying the treasurer's salary
for the years of 1908 and 1909 be rati-
fed.
Probably the most important action
of the meeting was vote instructing
the trustees of the village to effect a set
tlen1ent or bring suit against the town
of ST. Johnsbury for highway taxes col
lected and received by the town which
belong to the village. Between SIS. 900
and 900 is involved in this case.
The resolution reads:
Resolved, that the trustees of the vii
lage be, and they are authorized to settle
and adjust with the town of ST. Johns
bury upon such terms as they think best
all claims and demands of the village
against the town for taxes collected and
received by the town belonging to the
village that have not been accounted for;
and if the town declines to make an ad-
justment to institute such legal proceed
ings as may be necessary to protect the
interests of the tax PAYERS in the village.

votes cast for them follow:

The Word "Canvassino. j"

How "canvassing' got it's election
significance is one of the unsolved
puzzles of etymology. The word ap-
pears originally to have meant tossing
in canvas or blanket and thence gen
orally mishandling or assaulting. "Tn
canvass thee i'll thy broad cardinals
hat" is the Duke of Gloucester's
threat to the bishop of Winchester in
king Henry VI" The next stage OF
meaning was that of destructive criti
cism, from which to thorough discus.
sion-"canvassing" a subject-was sim.
pie enough. But how exactly did it
arrive at the election sense? DR.. John.
son explained that the term meant
trying votes previously to the deci
sion and derived it from canvas, as
it signifies sieve" The Oxford Die
tionary, however, is unable to find this
use of the word.

Quick Justice at Ascot.

Not only the horses. but the .A~ers
of the law, says the London Chronicle.
are swift at Ascot, for the course has
a special tribunal for the punishment
Of evildOers. No sooner is the pick
pocket, welsher or ticket snatcher ar
rested than he is standing in a little
room in the royal stand, where the
evidence Is heard and the verdict and
sentence pronounced before the offend
er fully realizes that he is caught. No
where else does punishment so swift
~ follow crime as at this court, which
is decreed by clause 81 of the in
dictable offenses act of 1S4S. This
race course tribunal arose curiously
in the eighteenth century from an as
sault upon a royal parsonage. In his
indignation at the impossibility of in
slant punishment of the assailant he
ordered that in future a magistrate
should always attend the royal race
meeting. This has ever since been
done, and by the above mentioned act
the chief magistrate of Bow street was
constituted ex officio a justice of the
peace of the county of Berks in order
to enable him to hold this court at

Natural Ace of Man.

The question as to what is the nat
ural age of man is by no means set
tied, of course, but many are of the
opinion that the Frenchman Flourens
was not far out Of the way in his esti-
mate of the time man should live.
Taking his observations from the
group mammalia, of the class vertebra-
ia, as having the closest resemblance
to man and such species as are per-
mitted to live the full term of theil
natural life under circumstances not
admitting Of error or doubt, Flourens
found that their natural life extended
to about five times the period of their
lives from birth up to maturity. Ap-
plying the rule thus obtained to hui
man life and taking the age at which
the body is fully matured to be TWEEN
ty years, he concluded the natural
duration of the life of man to be 100
years.-New York American.

In Perfee. Accord.

Some years ago there came to an
American city a delightful German.
Herr Won Blitz, who intended to sup
port himself by giving lessons In his
native tongue. When he had been here
several months and had secured a
moderate number Of pupils he went
one day to the mother of one of them
and to her great surprise asked for
her daughters hand in marriage.
"But, my dear sir" said she, my
daughter has no fortune
The sutton smiled upon her in an ex-
pansive generosity.
me. too" said he reassuringiy.
"And, although we are not rich. we
have thus far been able to give her
every comfort. She is indeed used to
luxury"
"Me, too" was the smiling rejoinder.
But. Herr Won BIitz. she will never
be able to manage affairs
"Me, too" rejoiced the lover.
"And feel obliged to tell you that
my daughter has a very high temper"
me too-me too"
That was enough. The mother re-
tired from the contest, and the pro-
fessor won his suit.
