A meeting of the executive board of the Vermont Merino Bhecp-fjhearliig m-tovlatlon will he held at the Addison House here on Wednesday, the 14th at 1 ad o'clock. Such a meeting was appointed for last Wednesday, but was adjourned two week. Rev.

S. C. Beane of Salem, preached two excellent sermons at Odd-Fellows hall last Sunday to Die Liberal Christian society of this village and vicinity. The morning discourse wa from the text In Isaiah, Watchman, what of the night We regret that lack ot space compel to omit an abstract of the sermon which ha been sent us. A very ancient round dining table, constructed that hen not In use It can be turned up against the wall and answer the purpose of a chair, ha been presented to the museum by Mr.

S. N. Brook. The bos viol used In the choir of the Episcopal church about 1820, when services were held In the Osborn house, was presented by Mr. Eollo I.

If nothing happens to the weather and the Ice, the postponed races of the Addison Couuty Colt-Trotting association, which come on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, will be well attended and Interesting.

The programme already announced will be followed. The tracks on the creek are in flue condition, better, indeed, than before the thaw that necessitated the postponement. The lecture on Egypt, by Eev. T. A.

Hopkins of Burlington, at the Congregational lecture-room on Saturday evening, for the benefit of the Ladles' library, is highly spoken of by those who heard it. Owing to a number of causes the attendance was smaller than it should have been. Mr. Hopkins was to haye preached at St. Stephen's on Suuday, but was unable to do soon account of a severe cold.

Alvin M. Williamson, a well-known res-deut of this village, died on Sunday morning last, of obstruction of the bowels, at the age of 54 years.

Palmer and Thompson officiating. A large number was preseut, including many members of the Grand Army post and Odd Fellows lodge, to both of which organizations the deceased belonged. Mr. Williamson was the oldest of six brothers, two of whom, Abram and Edson, reside in town, two others, George and Samuel, in Colorado, and anothei Harry, in California. The latter has been here on a visit for several weeks past.

The deceased leaves a widow and two young daughters. There have recently been published In the papers accounts of two men who got up in their sleep, and, walking off in their night clothes, froze to death. Such stories are improbable, but a case In town shows that they may be true, The circumstances as we understand them were these About 10 :30 o'clock last Sunday night Capt. M. V.

B. Bronson's 17-years-old son Eugene, who lives at the home of the family near Henry of a mile east of the village, got out of bed in his sleep and Jumped through the window of his room, taking the sash with him. He alighted on the roof of the shed below, "and sprang thence to the ground. Then he went out into the road and started for the village. He had nothing on but his night-clothes.

Julius Williamson, whose house is half a mile this side of Bronson's, had just reached home and was looking out of the window when he saw the young man coming. It was a bright moonlight night. He went out and spoke to Bronson, but did not succeed in wak In sucli quantities as you want.
