gold watch because of the fact that it
was given to him by his mother. Bog
row landed in Montpelier about 10 days
ago. He was without place to sleep
for some days and, out of the goodness
of his heart, Sheriff Tracy fed and lodged
him for q few days, then Bogrow went
to work for the city but he held that job
only three days and did not work enough
to merit remaining longer. Then he
went to work for e. c. Gitchell but had
worked there only three days. Accord
ing to his story when he landed here he
had no money. He had been paid for the
three days he worked for the city but

hat A hearing win take place the latter

Gov. p. w, Clement and Major Harvey
e. Goodell left this morning for Rutland,
where a meeting of the board of control
will take place tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that the matter of the consoIda-
ton OF the house of correction with the
state prison will be taken up. The re-
cent legislature gave authority for doing
this if, in the opinion of the board of
control, it seems best.

Adjt. Gen. II. II. johnson has received
notice from the war department author
izing the formation of the nucleus of the
old National Guard, which means that
in some places probably the companies
of the present Vermont Volunteer militia
will go out of existence. He is given
authority to organize one battalion of
the National Guard and he is also given
authority for machine gun battalion.
Ii is more than General johnson thought
the small state of Vermont would be able
to secure but apparently the war de-
partment thought kindly of his idea, for
it is known that the federal appropris-
ton for this work is very small at pres
ent, SO Vermont has obtained probably
more than some of the other states in
proportion to her size.

cipal of Montpelier high school for near

at once. 1t is reported there are to be
several other changes in the high school
