WELLS RIVER
Boys Hike Over Mt. Mansfield and
Back Home.

l 1ath AlVhhNs
Last spring Principal French prom.
Used some of the younger members OF
the high schools weeks hike over the
mountains of northern Vermont. Last
Monday was the eventful day and the
boys started. They left here in the
afternoon on the airline going as faI
as Morrisville by train. That evening
they liked out about two miles to a
place called Benson's Corners, where
they camped in the open for the night
Getting up early in the morning, they
walked into Stowe, where they had
| breakfast, thence into Barnes camp
where they stayed the second night. Be
fore dark they made a trip into Snug
glers' Notch and return. On the morn
| ing of the third day they climbed Mt
Mansfield, going over the chin and
thence down the Long trail to the
Mansfield Trout club, and from there
| into Moscow, there taking conveyance
into Montpelier. About two miles this
side of Montpelier, they camped for the
| night and walked the next morning IN
TO Plainfield, there taking the train
back home. They all report wonder
| full time and by the color OF tan, they
must have made good. No one was sick
on the trip and all were able to carry
their share of the load and keep up. A
| great deal Of credit is due Mr.. French
| for the interest that he takes IN the
youngsters and the great good that
these hikes will do them. II is too bad
| that every youngster in town was not
able to make this trip with him. Those
who were fortunate enough to be in.
cluded were Harold Miller, Porter Far
we'll, Ellsworth Amidon, Lloyd Willis,
Francis Peach, Robert Mayhem, Ernest
Brock, Herbert Sherwin and youngest
one of the party, Gibson Perry.

friends in honor of Miss Morse of New
Jersey, who was visiting at the home

The three hoboes whose trial was
held in the local court last Thursday
received twenty days in Orange county
| Jail at Chelsea for drunkenness. The
charge against them when arrested was
for holding up parties, but as no one
appeared against them, this could not
be proved One good point was gained,
| however, in their arrest and that is
that when they are freed from jail
they will be just twenty-eight miles
farther away than they were before.
One Of the uncommon things hap
pened last Thursday, when a horse ran
away and smashed things up generally,
uncommon on account of the scarcity
of horses seen on the street. The horse
became frightened in front of Brock S
shop and started, keeping the road until
it reached the drug store, where it came
onto the sidewalk, missing the glass
windows by a fraction of an inch and
stopped in front of the meat market.
| The wagon was completely smashed,
but the occupant, Mr.. Morrill, of Pike,
n. H., went through the whole affair
without a scratch.
