C. AVERILL, Register. ARMS HAINES, Wholesale Grocers, BARNARD. At the town meeting it was voted to rescind the vote taken at March meeting: raising a tax of twenty cents on the dollar, to be paid in labor, for repairing highways. The tax for highways is now fifteen cents on the dollar to be paid in money to the collector.

The now law abolishing the office of surveyor has made some trouble. The people are not satisfied with it. L. S. French, who has always been a democrat, has held the office of postmaster continuously for over thirty years in Barnard, twenty-four under republican rule.

ST. GEORGE. The grass fields are showing1 favorably for an unusually large hay-cut, although some meadows disclose the want of new seeding. Quite a number of our farmers have sowed more than the average acreage. Oats and barley are the principal grains.

We notice also larger fields and more in numbers of potatoes. Among those who make a specialty of potatoes are Edgar and M. W. Hinsdill. Each markets hundreds of bushels.

At this date, May 17th, but very little corn has'been planted. Many farmers think barley just as good, and it can be grown with Less labor. Among those of our farmers who are making noticeable improvements is R. O. Castle, who recently took possession of the Sutton farm.

He is building a large addition to his already large barn, clearing away the unsightly fences along the highway, grading, and planting trees in the front yard. James Millham is another wideawake farmer who is making many improvements. Besides working his own farm he has rented and tills those of Loomis Allen and Gilbert Isham. Improvements of a noticeable character are seen at J. C.

Downer's and Hiram Isham's. Others will be spoken of in the future. Harry J. Sutton has sold his two farms the mountain farm of 320 acres to William Babcock, with some stock and tools, for $,500, and the Nathan Lockwood farm of Ki4 acres to John Noonin for $4,500. NEWFANE.

The season is from two to three weeks earlier than usual grass and winter grain are looking splendidly. The prospects for fruit are fully as good as at this time last year. A BEAUTIFUL EASTER CARD. The Virgin Salt of New Haven, are making a grand offer to introduce their salt. Go and ask your grocer for Virgin Salt and get an elegant Easter Card.

In addition we offer an extra inducement: a pair of doves beautifully lithographed in ten colors, as natural as life on a large card 9x10 inches. Virgiu Salt is the cheapest, purest and whitest salt ever seen or used. A large package costs only 10 cents. lowed an offset of $1,700 for debts owing, but appearing that he had $300 in the Barre Savings Bank, his offs was reduced to that extent. It should be stated that Mr.

Scott was misinformed as to the law. Mr. Gray claimed that only the income of the $3,900 which he had loaned to the Methodist church should be pot in the list, and cited Section 270, Part of the General Statutes. The listers, under the Carlisle table, put it at 81,700. The action of the listers was sustained, aa it appeared that they had followed the law, but it should be stated that upon the death of Mr.

Gray the whole snm vests in the church. In the case of Joseph Poland, it appeared that the board mailed him at two different times blank forms for an inventory to Paterson, New Jersey, where he was when the listers made their rounds and for a month or more after; that he made no return by the 25th of May, the latest date allowed by law; that upon his return, on the 27th, he asked to be allowed to make a return and have it regarded as a compliance with the law; that the listers refused, but said he might make a statement which they would regard as their own, and they would then double it, according to the statute, and an appeal could then be made to the board; that he made no statement to the listers, but to the board he made out a quasi statement by which his list would stand somewhat less than last year, but the board proceeded to ascertain, as best they could," his taxable property, doubled it, and made the appraisal $30,000. He appeared before the board by attorney, S. C. Shurtleff.

He claimed that the listers' appraisal of the Gould house $1,200 was too high, but the facts were drawn out that he had bad it insured for $1,000, and that one of the listers offered to take it at the appraised value. Nevertheless the board cut it down to $556. The outcome of this case was that Mr. Poland's list was fixed at last year's appraisal. The Bennington battle monument project still hangs fire, and it looks as if monuments will be erected over the grave of every one of the members of the association before the cornerstone of the battle monument ib laid.

Boscoe CoNKLTNGsays that the smallest country newspaper is worth more to its country subscribers in one month than its price for a year, and does more for its neighborhood than many a high official does for his munificent salary. The Central Association of Vermont Univer-salists will hold their annual meeting at Barre, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 2d and 3d days of June next. Entertainment will be furnished to all who desire it. The usual courtesy of half-fare will be extended by the Central Vermont railroad. The national encampment, G.

A. is to be held in San Francisco, beginning August 2 and ending August 12. The railroad fare has been fixed at $87.50 from New York. Tickets will be good for about three months with stop-over privileges, and return tickets will be extended for sixty days on payment of $25 additional. Excursionists can carry 150 pounds of baggage.

Elaborate preparations are being made. Details of the programme will soon be made public, and it is hoped many of our Vermont veterans will avail themselves of this chance to visit the Golden State. Windsor county republicans are summoned by the county committee to meet in convention at Woodstock, Wednesday, June at eleven o'clock A. to nominate county officers. Each town in the county will be entitled to one delegate and one additional for each fifty votes and fraction of over twenty-five cast for governor at the last state election.

Caucuses for the choice of delegates are to be held Saturday, June at such hour of the day as the town committee directs. The republican state committee has issued its call fur the state convention at Montpelier, Thursday, June Oth, at ten o'clock a. to nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor, state treasurer, secretary of state, and auditor of accounts also to elect a state committee. Delegates are to be chosen at caucuses called by the republican committee in each town in the state. The basis of the convention is one delegate from each town and city in the state and one additional delegate for each one hundred votes and final fraction of more than fifty cast for the republican candidate for governor in 1884, The convention will be held in the Golden Fleece.

Died, of pneumonia, in this village, Sunday, May 23d. Mrs. Thomas Reed, in the eightieth year of her age. Mrs. Reed had lived far beyond the allotted span of human life, but until a few days before her death her prospects for the enjoyment of added years of existence were scarcely clouded by a sign of dissolution.

Vigorous health had been hers and a mind on-dimmed by four score years of time. She had dwelt in the living present." Not many half a century her junior took a livelier or more intelligent interest in passing events, and few have brought forward to her advanced stage of life feelings so unmarked by Time's corrosions. The impress of advanced age was discernible chiefly in the frosted head. The cheery welcome, the expressive features, the sunny discourse, the gleam of merriment and bright humor that often shone out in the unrestraint of social life, betokened a lady of dignified but graceful and unaffected manners, passing with serenity the golden years of the meridian of existence. To her friends her death brings sadness which will seek amelioration in the legacy of fragrant memories of a character as lovely and symmetrical in all its aspects and proportions as the bodily frame which was its physical representative.

To a family circle in which she has been the central and revered figure, her passing away brings sorrowing which the departure of the aged, bowed with the infirmities of time, rarely evokes. The thinning ranks of her contemporaries at her obsequies on Wednesday, the reverent concourse of friends and neighbors, the words of the preacher deriving eloquence and impressiveness from the subject of his discourse, fitly attested the honor and affection the venerated lady's well-rounded life had inspired. The Musical Festival. Indications multiply that the season of music which will open in Montpelier next week will be crowded with brilliant attractions to music-loving people.

It is a delicious sparkling water of very excellent qualities, curative rather than medicinal a delightful table water of itself or to mix with wine.

It is derived from an overflowing spring about nine miles distant, a visit to which is one of the most delightful of neighborhood excursions." For dyspepsia, an acid state of the stomach and similiar ailments, as well as for a delicious table water, abundant personal proofs of the unrivaled excellence of the Mattoni can be produced. It is without doubt vastly superior to Appolliuaris for dietetic purposes. LOCAL AND GENERAL. W. LoI fell and broke his leg lust evening.

There has been a change of time on the Montpelier and Wells River railroad from that printed on the fourth page. The mail train leaves at 8.15, express at and mixed at 4. It is embarrassing enough for a young business man to have to encounter suspicion without being subjected to the partial trial which the people are too prone to give him before all the facts in the case are made known. Leas readiness to give credence and circulation to floating rumors would be becoming to certain people of this town. Hundreds of gullible Mont pel ierites are anxiously awaiting Felix Pratt's return from Boston in order to congratulate him upon his drawing a 157,500 lottery ticket.

When Felix returns with his new chair, the true inwardness of the joke will be seen by those who believed he had sold out and gone to Boston to cash his lucky ticket.
