1t was, indeed, a Merry Christmas
for the 90 children entertained at The
House Speedwell Farms, Lyndonville
last Saturday afternoon. The children
met at the Library and at Mrs w. A.
Walls at Lyndon Center, where large
barges were waiting for them. They
arrived at the House at o'clock and
went at once to the music ROOM
where there was a large tree decorat-
ed with everything that goes to make
up Christmas tree, with many col
ored lights among the boushs. While
listening to the music from the large
pipe organ their eyes could hardly
leave the tree Soon Santa Claus made
his appearance and then the children
danced in merrimcnt about the Won
drous tree. After this all went to the
billiard room where ice cream and
cake were served. Leaving this room
each one was given favor that add
ed to the merriment of the occasion.
Going back to the music room the
presents were distributed, each child
receiving an appropriate gift. Follow
ing this the children gathered about
the great fireplace while II. n. Kas-
son of New York city told them fairy

chosen president to succeed the late
Mrs. f. Stewart Stranahan. l.. s.
Tillotson and George M. Hogan were
elected committee to prepare suit
able resolutions on the death of Mrs.
Stranahan. IL was voted to commu-
nicate at once with Mrs. Stevens and
n. p. Coffin of Keene, N. H., who
has been the director since the or
ganizatioh Of the society, in regard
to plans to begin work at the earliest
date possible. 1t is expected that re-
hearsals will begin by February /,
possibly by the latter part of this
month. Mr.. Coffin will direct the
last ten or twelve rehearsals before
the festival, which is to be given the
latter part of May, but no definite
arrangements have been made yet

There is reason to believe that the
erorts OF some of the leading bust
ness men of Burlington will bring an
industry worth while. Three marble
concerns have looked the ground over
carefully and as the J. w. Goodell
company is closing out its business an
opening in this line of work is left.
Chief among these is one which in
tends to carry pay roll of from $4,000
to $2500 per week and as all of the
labor employed will be of the skilled
variety, it looks good. The company
will build its mill on unimproved land
so that nothing will be taken from
the grand list.

tor Charles M. Bailey of the Customs
House of Newport, acting on informa-
tion that wool was being brought from
Canada by team without payment of
duty, took the trail of the smugglers
and secured about 10000 pounds of
wool, the value of which is in the
neighborhood of $4,000 The seizures
were made along the line of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad between New
port and st. Johnsbury. Many people
not conversant with customs laws
have an idea that once well across
the border there is safety in this class
of transactions, but that is not the
case, as these transactions date back
to the menth of May in this year. To
ferret out this wool much of which
had passed through the hands of more
than two parties required detective
ability of no mean character and Mr..
Bailey deserves much credit for his
success.

j. Noble Hayes, who spends his
summers in Bennington, last week
refused an appointment by Mayor
Gaynor, of New York City. to an i'm

in speaking of the matter said THE
only information which furnishes a
line upon the kind of men the mayor
elect is seeking for his official family
was the statement yesterday tina:
he had offered a place in the Munich
pal Civil Service Commission to J.
Noble Hayes and the report of sew
eral days ago that he had rendered
the post of water commissioner to
William B. Ellison, Both men have
declined. The fact that the mayor
elect is after men of the stamp OF
hayes and Ellison has created in
tense uneasiness among the dyed in
the wool machine men. Mr.. Hayes
is one of the foremost lawyers of the
city, City Club man, former coun-
sci of the Commission on the Laws
Delays and now has in hand consid-
cradle reform legislation designed to
expedite litigation in this city. His
desire to put through this legislation

An alarm was sounded at S:45
o'clock Saturday evening at ST. AL
bans for a fire which proved to be
the Edwin Wakefield barn, situated
on South River street on the west
side of the river. The barn was des-

municated with the dwelling and
barn of Alfred Tetreault, on the north
which were also burned with their
contents. The exterior of the dwell
ings of Mr.. Wakefield and G
H. Chapel were both somewhat dam
aged, and it was with difficulty that
these and other buildings were saved
as strong south wind prevailed at
the time of the fire 1t is thought
the fire caught from sparks of a pass

for 81 900 and the other sufferers
We're also insured. At one time ii
was feared that the fire might strik

was protruding far enough to be cas-
