The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-06-14

This weeks "hospital issue" of the
Bellows Falls Times is anything but a
sickly edition; and the ladies' OF Bellows
Falls who published it are to be con.
graduated on the general excellence Of
the paper. They also took full advan-
tage Of the opportunity to further the
interests of the hospital by well-written
articles concerning many Of its features.
Altogether, the number is worthy OF pro.
fessional newspapermakers.

The seigneurial court of Canada, being
the direct lineal descendants of the orig
inal French .feudal lords of the country.
through Forsyth de Frosnac, Vicomte ct

the State Department a petition begging
the United States to intervene to induce
Great Britain to submit to the arbitra-
ton of The Hague the claim of the seig-
neurs to their vast estates and properties
in the new world. of which they assert.
in their petition, they were unlawfully
dispossessed by the swarms of English
peasantry which overran Canada after
the cession Of that country by France, in
1863
Declaring that this act on the part Of
the British government was in direct
violation of the treaty with France, the
petitioners beg the government of the
United States to take up their cause and
insist that it be arbitrated before the
Panama canal tolls question is laid be-
fore The Hague tribunal. The State De-
partment will give the petition the usual
consideration.
