A procession will be formed with the Swanton Cornet Band as escort, which will march to the cemetery where the old sol diers will decorate tho graves of their fallen comrades, after which the procession will eturn to the Park and decorate the Sol dier's Monument.

The Fire Company will appear with their engine some time during the day. We hope the boys will have a uniform before long. Perhaps they intend to wait and have it new for the 4th of July. Cankei rash is fast disappearing. The grounds the convent have been improved this Spring by the setting out of trees, shrubs and flowers.

Wo aro glad to know that Dr. G. M. Hall, who is having a run of fever is doing as well as could be expected. Franklin.

Mr. F. W. Wheeler has some eight or more different views of our village which can be obtained of him in Richford. Our farmers arc beginning to put in their crops and turn out their cows.

There seems to be a general complaint of the luck of Cream on the milk some explanation of this may be found in the fact of so many cows coming out "spring poor." It has been a hard winter for all classes of persons, and the expected visit of the Col lector is dreaded by many. That team still belongs to D. S. Clenvc- hind which performed the following labor in two days time: Ploughed five acres, harrowed twice and bushed iu grass seed on ante piece. It was done ou Mr.

This is business, and we are glad to see it. The shoe-shop of James Dingman was broken into last Sunday, and tools to the value of $10 or $12, belonging to himself and two workmen were stolen. No traces of the thief or thieves. Tho spring term of select school here, closed last Saturday with tho usual examinations and exercises. It is generally re garded as the best school wo havo had here for some time.

Mr. D. G. Furman, of Highgate, was the successful teacher. On complaint of State's Attorney Pow ell, G.

Archambault was brought before Justice Gardner Fassett, last Thursday, charged with selling liquor contrary to the statute, which liquor tho prosecution did not claim was anything but leer. The respondent waived an examination, and a compromise was effected by his agreeing a to pay $10 and costs. The ceremony of baptism was perform ed in tho Episcopal Church last Sunday, and during tho week two persons were confirmed by the Bishop of this Diocese. This Society, though yet in its infancy, is growing rapidly under the able and care ful management of Homer White. The Old Folks' Concert, under tho di rection of the Ladies' Aid Society of the M.

E. Church, was held last Saturday evening. Tho pieces sang were mostly old songs, nnd the singers wcro dressed in old- fashioned costumes. Quite a largo num ber of people wcro present to hear these old hymns and songs, which made the af fair a success, in a money point of view, for the Society. There is room for a little liquor crusad ing in St.

Johnsbury yet. Robert Pend- ridgo went home drunk, Friday afternoon and amused himself for a whilo by pounding his wife. Ho then drew pistol to shoot her, when a policeman was sent for, but befsro tho latter arrived tho wifo had forgiven Robert, nnd sho prevailed on tho officer to let him stay in tho bosom of his family.

though much of it was created by them, propose so far as possible to ignore. They have now run the road less than a year, have paid no rent to tho Vermont Cana da, no interest on the Vermont Cential 1st and 2d mortgage bonds, no dividends on the Vermont Central stock, carried on no mprovemcnts, reduced the number of their shop hands by half, and yet they admit they have run behind b.ind more than fifty thousand dollars, and wo assert without the fear of successful contradiction that when they will make up their accounts so as to present an honest exhibit of their af fairs, it will be found that they have ac tually run behind hand nearly or quite four hundred thousand dollars. But even un dcr their own showing, what prospect is there that such a receivership, thus con trolled, will ever bring these roads out of the slough of despond? This question can bo answered by the mathematician who can tell how long it will take a frog to get out of a well when ho climbs one foot a day and falls back two. Thcro was great consternation among tho boys of Fairhavcn last week. A large number were arrested and a few were found guilty and fined for disturbing a public meeting.

20. The committee on ways and means this morning adopted two very important resolutions in connection with the Sanborn matter. The first censures the Secretary, and Assistant Secretary and Solicitor of the Treasury, for their conduct in the mat ter. This resolution, if adopted, is designed to be a resolution of severe censure. The second resolution directs the Clerk of the House to present to tho President a copy of the two resolutions, together with a copy of the report and testimony.

These resolutions will be appended to the Sanborn report, which is the special order for to day's debate.
