PERCY CO. Having reached in the regular course of business that point in the season's trade when we make our Annual Closing Sale The Late W. II. Root. The funeral of the late William H.

Root will be held from the Unitarian church to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Grand Lodge of Vermont having charge of the services. The members of Stannard Post will also attend in a body. William II. Root was a grandson of the late N. B.

Haswell who was one of the most prominent Masons of Vermont in his day, he having been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge for twenty years. He was born in this city in 1833, his father dying a few weeks after his birth. He remained in this city until shortly before the war, when he went to Hartford, where he engaged in the insurance business. Upon the breaking out of the war he enlisted and served nearly two years, after which he returned to this city. In 1809 he was elected city clerk, and he held the office until the spring of 1885.

He was made a Muson in 1854, and was for some years junior warden of Washington Lodge No. 3. About six years ago he was appointed assistant grand secretary of the Grand Lodge and four years ago he was elected grand secretary. He married Miss Ellen Cornwall, a young lady whom he met in Hartford and three children were the result of the union, two sons aud a daughter. They lost one son, grown uearly to manhood, and four years ago Mrs.

Root died. There remains therefore of the family a sou and daughter only. Mr. Root was a man of considerable natural ability and fenial feeling, and he had become widely nown among the members of the fraternity who cared for him so tenderly during the painful days of his last illness.

Talk about enterprise A South Carolina man has a newspaper on wheels, which he moves from county to county, printing editions alternately in the principal villages and towns. Our Burlington readers will remember how a refractory and ugly prisoner was subdued at the jail, a short time ago, by a liberal application of the water cure. A similar case is reported from an Ohio village, where, all efforts to disarm a desperado having failed, the fire department was called out and, after a liberal deluging with water, the rough was subdued. It is a curious fact, sometimes alluded to by theatrical people while admiring the Howard Opera House, that in Philadelphia a large portion of the theatres are painted white. The idea was started by Haverly.

who thought that white was a lucky color. It is also said that actors prefer to play in a theatre painted white. Boys are too apt to lionize, and sometimes to emulate, the long-haired Indian fighter and scout of the West, made familiar to them by dime literature and travelling shows. But here is what one of the best of the class a genuine frontiersman. Captain Crawford has to say on the subject "If I had my way I would imprison for life all writers and publishers of the yellow-backed lies that ruin many young men and bring them West to fight Indians." Says a writer in the Cleveland Leader: "Montreal aud St.

Paul brag of their ice palaces in a way to convey the belief that the idea originated with them, but it is quite an old idea, originating in the bryn of Empress Anne of Russia, who reigned from 1730 to 1740. A noble of her court. Prince Galitzin, changed his religion and was punished by being made court buffoon and page. He was commanded to marry, the queen offering to defray all expenses. He did so, selecting a peasant girl for the The queen ordered a house to be built or blocks of ice, with all the furniture, even the bed, also of ice.

She ordered a grand parade, after which the bridal pair were taken to the ice palace, put inside and guards placed at the entrance to prevent their leaving it, and they were obliged to spend the bridal night in the house of ice. Colonel Ingersoll is one of the most poetical speakers in the world. He uses language beautifully, and if he only used it truthfully and in sympathy with the universal convictions of the race, a volume of "little classics" might be compiled from his lectures. Read this, for instance it is poetry in form, if not in essence From the Christian's cruel hell, and from his heaven more heartless still, the free and noble soul, if forced to choose, nhoulri loathing turn, anl cling with rapture to the thought of endless sleep." But now see how the other Bob" Bob Burdette takes this off. His remarks are not poetical in form, but they breathe the best essence of poetry which is truth Well, if the free and noble soul has been trained to endure a heap of rest, that is a fairly lolty ambition for freedom and nobility.

That is a fat boy's idea of heaven. The ground hog, that goes to bed in October, and on the 2d of February of the following year turns over for another si.x weeks' nap, probably dreams of that kind of a heaven. The Christian is a very faulty sort of a man, and many of his ideals are eurthiy and imperfect, but he is wide-awake, high pressuie rusiler compared with the energetic suoofcer that "ciings with rapture" to the hope of "eternal sleep that dreams of a heaTen where all the music of all the angels and all the redeemed is one long, blended, "rapturous" and eternal snore. Here is a collection of weather proverbs for March. Those who coined them evidently didn't do it with the same die but there are enough of them to cover all possible emergencies, and the reader can take his choice March comes in like a lamb aud goes out like a lion.

If March comes in with adder's head. It goes out with peacock tail. Winds in March and rains in April premise great blessings in May. In beginning or in end March its gifts will surely send. A windy March and a rainy April make a beautiful May.

When March is like April April will be like March. A damp, rotten March gives pain to farmers. March damp and warm Will ao the farmer much harm. March grass never did good. Snow in March is bad for fruit and grape vine.

A dry March, wet April and cool May, Fill barn and cellar and bring much hay. A bushel of March dust is worth a king's ransom. A peck of March dust and showers in May Make corn green aud fields gray. Dust in March brings grass and foliage. March wind and May sun Make clothes white and maidens dun.

There was a pleasant sociable in the parlors of the College street church, last evening. Very nice refreshments were served, and a pleasant and social time was enjoyed. Coasting and tobogganing are things of the past just at present, and other vocations of every-dav life will probably re-same their wonted place in the estimation of our residents. The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Society of young people were invited out to the home of Mr. Nathan R.

Spaulding on Appletree Point, for their meeting and a general good time, last evening.

Astronomers are now able to promise the general public a splendid spectacle, as both Fabry's and Barnard's comets are likely to be easily visible to the unaided eye about the end of April and beginning of May, both, too, in a position where they will be above the horizon all night, and not far distant from each other.

NICHOLSON, THE HATTER, CLOTH IER and FURNISHER, by persistent ef fort and careful study of his patrons' in terests and wants, and by his untiring zeal to please and satisfy their demands, has built up a business second to none in this city. He is not disposed to be avaricious and grasping, nor is it his aim to become wealthy on a few years' business by charging fabulous profits, thereby systematically robbing his customers, but he is content to sell the best goods for a fair margin and thus, as in the past, enjoy the confidence and continuous patrouage of his fellow citizens. This spring he has made notable additions to his stock in the way of CLOTHING and wishes to impress upon the minds of the public that no nicer assortment of the finest goods in this line is shown in Burlington.

His store has been handsomely frescoed and additional tables and other extra facilities for the increased stock have been provided, and with such volumes of light shining in through the elegant show windows in front as well as through the numerous windows in the rear of the store, renders this the place to select your supplies.

If there ever has ever been any doubt as to the benefit of the High School hall to the pupils, its availability for occasional social gatherings cannot be questioned. Priucipal Lamlon, at the urgent solicitation of his scholars, has consented to one reception each term, aud if the one last evening is a fair sample of them, they may be considered great successes. The hall was handsomely trimmed with flags, while the bright and happy faces of the pupils as they mingled with each other and their teacher in pleasant intercourse, was a sight not soon to be forgotten.

The few exercises consisted of instrumental music, singing by the school, quartettes unler the skilful direction of Prof. Thompson. A short and laughable scene from the "Village Lyceum," in which several of the scholars took part, and readiugs by Mr.W. II. Hopkins, the teacher of elocution, which are always a treat to hear.

Among those present were Superintendent Wheeler aud some of the members of the school board. The pupils of the High school deserve great credit for the admirable manner in which their reception was conducted. Vermont State Baptist Meetlug.

The show windows of the dry goods stores are resplendent with fine patterns in the line of spring dress goods. The principal change in these goods from last year is the substitution of satin rhadame and embroidered dress patterns for plain silk, there being some particularly handsome goods shown under both these heads. Other new classes of dress goods are boncle, striped velvet, furet and bo-rette, either one of which makes up in a handsome manner. Camel's hair will be worn to a great extent, and appears in the market in great variety. Rough goods will be used as much as heretofore, and the indications are that there will be a fcreater variety in dress goods than for a ong time past.
