years. The trolley cars were out of COM
mission at times during the day. many

were blown down on the grounds of
John Towers and the same number OF
pines were laid low at the Sherman
residence
At Bennington considerable damage
was caused by the violent windstorm
Many shade trees were blown down and
small buildings were overturned or un-
rooted. The flagstaff of the graded
school was blown down. a plate glass

Because of the severity of the storm
the schools were closed at noon and the

A large gathering of relatives,
friends and neighbors met at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Goyette Tuesday
evening, October IL, to help them to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding.
Father Vezina of Vergennes made
very fitting remarks and sang solo es-
pecally adapted to the occasion. All
but one of the twelve children of Mr..
and Mrs. Goyette are living, and ten of
these sons and daughters were present,
as were many grandchildren and one
great-grandchild.
The house was prettily decorated in
gold and white, and the lawn brilliantly
Lighted.
The youthfulness of this pair, who have
walked side by side for fifty years, was
very generally commented on during
the evening by those present.
After being served to very bountiful
refreshments, the guests departed but
first leaving behind them their best
wishes and many gifts of gold and
silver, cut glass, linen and both gold
and silver coin.

GENEROUS REQUESTS.

The will of the late William A. Law
renee of Bristol shows a broad and
generous spirit, which should reflect high
honor upon the testator's memory.
There can not be man, woman, or
child in the town in which Mr.. Law
renee spent his life who will not be in
some way benefited by his benefactions.
For any one to remember in his will
every church in town is most unusual
Few will be able to cite similar in
stance. Bristol is to be congratulated
on the secure foundation of its public
library, and it may be hoped that the
example of Mr.. Lawrence will suggest
to some one the like need which exists
in Middlebury.

FIRST HOME GAME RESULTS IN
TIE.
school building

On Saturday, the 9th, Middlebury
played her first home game resulting
in a tie, 90. A good crowd was
present and the band furnished music,
after marching to the athletic field at
the head of the freshmen P-rade, lead
ing the crowd
The game started little after three,
Stevens kicking off. Keefe received
the kick. A tumble and loss on the
third down forced Condit to punt, and
short kick gave Stevens the ball near
our 2O-yard line. A series of end runs
and line punges advanced Stevens to
our 10-yard line, when Middlebury held
them and the ball went over to Middle
bury. Condit again punted. Stevens
was held for downs again and Lynch
made an end run for 20-yards just as
the whistle blew for the first quarter.
In this quarter Keefe sprained his
ankle and Hard went into his place at
full back.
The second quarter started near the
middle of the field. Bowers, our new
half back. gained ten yards on an end
run, but loss and an incompleted pass
forced Condit to kick. Stevens made
long series of advances, mostly through
the line. but was stopped when Bres-
nahan intercepted forward pass. Mid
dlebury just got started as time was
called out for Bresnahan with two
minutes more to play. We gained some
IL yards on punt formation just as the
whistle blew.
The second half started with Hubbard
in Bresnahan's place at quarter. Mid
dlebury kicked to Stevens and held them
for downs. The features of this quarter
were an end run by Bowers for 35 yards,
and later sensational pass from Condit
to Hubbard for like gain.
Middlebury lost her chance to score
at the start of the fourth quarter which
started with the ball on Stevens H.
yard line. Middlebury was held, and
Stevens punted on her first down.
Neither side was in danger again during
the rest of the game. Bowers played a
strong game this quarter.
Bowers comes from Worcester
academy. He was to have been cap
tain there this year. He is a big ad-
dition to the backfield.

A USEFUL VERMONTER

Albany, Vermont, is small town of
Orleans County, back from the railroad,
mountainous and rugged, in which a
large number of college lots" are To-
Gated because they were not of suffi-
Gent value to attract settlers. Some
sixty years ago boy was born TO a
family of Scotch ancestry there. He
went to old Peacham Academy, where
there was a good teacher, one of the
old-fashioned masters who knew Greek
and who knew boys. The master told
the boy from Albany he ought to 90 to
college. At great sacrifice he made his
way through Dartmouth College and
became himself the master of an acad-
envy in northern New York. He was
one of those born teachers that need no
training course, man who made his
pupils think and dream. Year after
year he sent out classes of young men
and women who never forgot the in
SEPARATION he had given them. Many of
them are today the strong, active citi-
zens OF Malone, who are making it one
of the best business towns in the EN-
pire State. Many, of course, found
other homes, like Superintendent w. A.
Beebe of Proctor, one of the ablest
school officials in Vermont. The pres
ent writer went to his school re-
solved to stop his education at the close
OF the year, but was led by the first
great teacher he had ever had to aim
higher. Later the teacher entered
the law and represented the New York
Central railroad in its large interests in
the Adirondack region. He prospered
at the law, but he retained his interest
in school matters and was influential in
making his old academy one of the very
best schools in the State of New York.
He died few days sso, -cre :. past

MISSING Word Game,

A game that affords much amuse
ment is played with letter that has
been written beforehand, with blank
spaces left where the adjectives be
long. The writer does not let the play
ers know what he has written, but
asks each for an adjective. placing the
adjective 80 given In the blank spaces
in regular order When the spaces
have all been filed the letter is read
to the company, and 1t never fails to be
amusing.
The game may be varied by leaving
a number Of blank spaces, and instead
Of asking for adjectives to fill them the
writer may ask for any part Of speech
that the players may choose to give
him. AS no one knows about what the
letter is written, very incongruous
epistle will be the result.
