The Ripton gambling saloon is still open and in full blast.

On the night of Tuesday, April 9th some scoundrel visited the stables of Mr. Samuel S. Andrus, in West Cornwall.and sheared off the manes and tails of his three fine horses. This act of vandalism aroused tho indignation of the community and investigation was made which led to the arrest of one Joe Germaine a Frenchman who had vowed vengeance upon Mr. Andrus for some fancied wrong.

The respondent was called to answer to the charge before Justice Slade, on Friday last. The evidence was entirely circumstantial but quite convincing, and he was bound up in $1000 for appearance at the next term of the County Court. Mr. E. B.

Bristol has lost a "Lamb" and with tho Lamb has gone a "Cooke." And so under the head of lost we chronicle both the Lamb and Cooke. The mercantile circle has lost one of the number, for this Cooke was a female merchant, as also a woman's rights merchant. The peculiar tonets of women's rights now are so well known as to make the rehearsal of them here useless.

He went from there to Price's house and asked his wife where Price was. She suspecting that all was not right she said he was not at home, but a little girl spoke and said, papa is in the bed room. Hoag then demanded loaveto search -'that bed room," and Mis.

A daring attempt was made early last Thursday morning at norm uennington, ine ourglars only being prevented from effecting their purpose by tho use of an overcharge of powder, and the terrible explosion consequent thereon.

Having gained an entrance into the building, the outer doors of the vault were burst open with wedges, and by exploding powder in holes bored for that purpose. Having gained access to tho vault, they commenced operations on tho outer door of tho safe within. In this door holes were drilled, and loaded with powder, and tho charges fired.

II. Stevens, Dear Sir. I have heard from very many sour. ces of the great success of Yegetine in cases of scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Ca tarrh and other diseases ot kindrou nature. make no hesitation in saying that I know the Vegetine to be the most reliable remedy for Ca tarrh and (ieneral Debility.

My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many years, and at times vory badly. She has thoroughly tried every supposed remedy that we could hear of, and for all this she has for several year? boon gradually growing worse, and the discharge from the head was excessive and very offensive. She was in this condition when she commenced to take Vegetine. I could see that she was improving on tho second bottle. She continued taking the Vegotine until sho had usod from twelve to fifteen bottles.

I am now happy in informing you and the public, (if you choose to make it public), that she is entirely cured, and Vegetine accomplished the cure after nothing olse would. Hence I feel justified in saying Vegetine is the most reliable remedy and would advise all suffering humanity to try it for I believe it to be a good, honest vegetable medicine, and I shall not hesitate to recommend it. I am, respectfully. D- CARDELL, Store Uroadwny. HOW YEGETIXE ACTS OX THE BLOOD.

Our food furnishos material for the growth and nourishment of the body by absorption and assimilation. In like manner Vegetine acts in the euro of disease. AVhen swallowed it is absorbed, taken up by the veins, and circulated through the system with the blood, reaching the most hidden and remote parts. It is evident, by this direct action, that the wholo system mnst feel the effects of the remedy. VAL XI A X.

Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the whole surface of my skin being oovered with pimples and eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and annoyanco, and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of tho advertised blood preparations, among which was any quantity of without obtaining any benefit, until I commenced taking the Vegetine; and before I had completed tho first bottle 1 saw that I had got tiic right nicdicino.

Consequently I followed on with it, until I had taken seven bottles, whon I was pronounced a well man; and my skin is smooth, and entirely free from pimples and o-luptioiis. I have never enjoyed so good health before, and I altributo it all to the use of Vegetine. To benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, I will make mention also of tho Vegetino's wonderful power of curing me of this acute complaint, of which I hnve suffored so intensely. C. II.

Bought at 3G cents per pound. Vergennes voted a city tax of one hundred and fifty coats on a dollar of the grand list for expenses and payment of indebtedness, at their meeting on Tuesday. The appointment of Mr, P. II. Lew is, as cashier of the National Bank, of Vergennes, is a merited reward for his arduous labors during the period he so courteously filled tho position of teller and assistant cashier.

The Addison Railroad seems to be doing a thriving business. On Monday and Tuesday the conductor of tho morning train from tho north found it necessary to add an extra car at Leicester Junction for passengers going over that road.

Tho Addison has been under water several days. Tho trains run regularly up to Saturday since which time somo difficulty has been experienced. Wre believe they are running again however. A gentleman going to Middlebury on Friday from Richville, went part the way in a sleigh, part in a boat and finished his journey in a wagon. The exhibition of tho Vergennes Graded school takes place Thursday and Friday evenings, and is sure to draw a large audience.

This school is under the able supervision of L. F. Benton, A. assisted by a talented corps of teachers, and was never in a more prosperous condition than at the present time. It is seldom, in a school of this size, thai more or such varied talent can be found, which is ably exhibited at these annual exhibitions.

Wevbridoe. M. V. Baker has opened a paint shop on Church street, where ho has done good work in painting, and proposes to be exoolled by no ono of his trade in tho County. lie has painted wagons and cutters from Addison: Middlebury, New Haven, Wcybridge and other towns, within the past few weeks.

Junior Exhibition, that long time popular entertainment, will bo given in Academy Hall on Tuesday evening next.

Mrs. Oliver of New York, formerly of Rutland, will appear prominently in the music of the occasion. She will be assisted by Prof. Iliglcy at tho piano. The class exercises will be of a high order, if wo may judge from previous indications.

Change of Base. Henry Soper Co. are preparing to move their tailoring establishment into Allen's Block, and occupy jointly with Mr. C. J.

Soper. The old store is being thoroughly renovated and improved, and it will be a nice plaoe with plenty of light, air, room, and every convenience of furniture and surroundings. This bed renovating is really no humbug. Messrs. Burt Coates do accomplish wonders in this regard.

We have given the matter some attention and find that the process does not injure but benefits the feathers, while as a measure of cleanliness, its value will be readily understood and appreciated. They are still at work in Middlebury, and please all who give them work. Consolidation. Earl Clay, hardware dealers, have dissolved their copartnership, Mr. Earl having sold his interest to Messrs.

Wilcox Hyde. Tho latter firm will also be dissolved, and the two stocks of goods consolidated, and a new firm formed, embracing Me6srs.

The Congregational Sunday Sohool concert, on Sunday evening, was exceedingly interesting. The exercises consisted of verse recitations by the school, a beautiful sous by tho bird-like voice of little Hattie Bond, a clas3 exercise of questions and responses by two of the classes, addresses by Profs.

Sanborn, Ilig-ley and Parker, and these exercises were interspersed with the usual singing by the children. The meeting of tho Board of Superintendents of common schools for this county, held in this village on the 12th is represuutea as having iieen very harmonious. There was an evident desire to advance the causo of true education, by careful and judicious action, rather than radical measures. This annual conference of tho responsible school officers of the county can but be productive of good. The only regret is that all do not attend.

We trust that a lack of of interest in their work, or a light estimate of its responsibilities, did not keep away al! of tho absentees. Chapman Brothers' illustrated Journal of Fashion Patterns is tho name of a now eight paged sheet which has made its appearance, and seems likely to have an extensive circulation. The object for which this is issued is to announce to tho ladies of Addison County that Mmo. Dcmorcst has estab lished a depot for her reliable patterns at tnc store or Chapman JJrothers, where a comploto assortment of the latest styles and most popular designs will be kept. An agency of this kind has boen long needed here, and ladies desiring patterns wilt nod it a great accommodation to be able to procuro them without the trouble, delay and expenso of sending by mail.
