A Lamentablo Condition.
(st, Johnsbury Calcdonian1

The Bennington Banner expresses
regret that a county with about %,
600 residents should have thirty-two
divorce eases ON the court docket. I'm
fortunately Caledonia county with
about the same population has siXty
divorce eases on its county docket.
1t is lamentable condition. But we
are pleased to note that no people of
prominence have their names on the
docket. We think the better class of
people are not so prone to divorce as
they formerly were and hope their
example may restrain other people to
some extent.

The Marrying Business,
(Barre Timos.)

OF 100 marriage licenses granted at
Bellows Falls during the month of
April and May only five were to home
folks, the other l55 being for persons
who greta -greened there from points
without the state. The reason is that
Vermont is the only state in New
England which does not require the
five days notice of intention to mar
ry and Bellows Falls is one of the
border points fairly easy of access
from Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire. Bellows Falls is getting quite
n bit of notoriety therefrom, but Of
doubtful permanent value.
