The project is broached of building a bridge across the Winooski, near the Wetmore & Morse Company's works. A bridge at that point would certainly be a very desirable thing for both Berlin and Montpelier, and large subscriptions from both sides could probably be secured to build it. We hope this scheme will be pushed.

On Monday, John McGuire, charged with intoxication, was brought before Justice J. H. Senter, pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs, or $10.01. Daniel McGallen of Barre was also brought before the same justice, on the same charge, and paid the same fine. He is now in jail for refusing to disclose where he procured the liquor.

The condition of the plank side-walk on lower East State street, opposite and above the repairing department of L. P. Gleason & Co.'s store, is deplorable. Many of the planks are so loose as to give a spring-board impetus to every passer-by. The authorities should see that a decent walk is provided.

The annual Catholic excursion from Barre and Montpelier to Missisquoi Park occurs August 6.

QUARTERMASTER C. H. FULLER, in company with General W. H. Gilmore of Fairlee, went to Bennington on Saturday to arrange for the militia encampment at the muster in August. The grounds were staked out, and other preliminary arrangements made. Major Fuller has a map of the grounds and vicinity, and the routes thereto.

The Foresters' excursion to Missisquoi Park, last Friday, owing to the threatening weather in the morning, was not the success in numbers it might have been. Some over four hundred, including the Military Band, went from this place and Barre, and a few got aboard at St. Albans. Most of the afternoon was spent in dancing, and those who went had a good time despite the dampness of the morning.
The St. Albans Messenger, in speaking of the part to be taken by Dr. C. E. Chandler in the convention of the Vermont Medical Association, held in Burlington October 15 and 16, says: "Dr. Chandler is one of the most promising young physicians of the state, and, being a graduate in diseases of the eye, he is fully competent to discuss this subject intelligently."

The Northfield News says the base-ball game between the Northfield and Montpelier juniors, played here July 17, was characterized by the rank decisions of the Montpelier umpire, and that "the boys of the capital were outplayed in every respect." Impressions concerning the merits of rival base-ball teams depend largely on which side of the fence the observer stands.

Sheriff Howe, who brought suit against S. A. Luke of the Volunteer Hose Company for the wetting he received on the Fourth, while in the performance of his official duties, has withdrawn his suit. Mr. Howe placed the damages at $20, to prevent extended litigation, and the case was to have been tried at Northfield on Monday. Mr. Howe, we believe, has acted wisely in withdrawing his suit.

As "Chin" Davis was crossing the street between Barrows & Peck's and Blanchard's stores, last Friday afternoon, the pole of his wagon struck a buggy passing just in front, and quickly upset it, landing the occupants--a man and wife from Middlesex--in the soft mud. The horse freed himself from the wagon, breaking the whiffletree and some parts of the harness. This was the only damage done, save muddy garments.

John Smith of Moretown, fined last Saturday for drunkenness, and now in jail, was also arrested for cruelty to animals. His horse, an antiquated brute with hip knocked down, wash-board sides and eyes sunk nearly out of sight, was put in the Exchange hotel stable, and being unable to get up alone on Sunday morning, was killed by Harvey Gallison. Smith's trial on this charge will come off when his case for drunkenness is disposed of.

We hear of a fellow, calling himself A. M. Brown, taking subscriptions for the Boston Journal, Ladies' Home Journal and other papers, including the WATCHMAN. The subscribers complain that they do not receive their papers, and are writing the publishers for information. The man is evidently a swindler. The money he takes he puts into his own pocket. He is described as a man of sandy complexion, about forty years old. Look out for him. Every authorized agent has, or should have, a certificate from the publisher he represents, and in cases of doubt he should be asked to show his credentials.

A party numbering about forty-five, mostly Boston people, left the Wells River station Saturday afternoon on the half-past four o'clock train, in a chartered car en route for the White Mountains. They had been in Saratoga, made a trip up the lake, and came from Burlington Saturday morning. Members of the party expressed themselves as much pleased with the capitol and the post-office buildings, and were greatly surprised on learning that the large brick building near the Central Vermont station was being constructed by a life-insurance company. From reading newspaper articles highly laudatory of Vermont's bracing atmosphere, and her beauties as a summer resort, they had formed the impression that life-insurance companies in these parts were as superfluous as hair crimpers in Africa.

Berlin has an Almy. This Almy carries the alias of Frank Dudley in Berlin, and Fred Dudley in Montpelier. This man came to E. H. House, in Berlin, on Monday, and offered to work at haying for one dollar a day. Mr. House hired him. Mr. House and his neighbors think they see in this man a resemblance to the Hanover murderer. G. H. Willey came to Montpelier yesterday afternoon and got Sheriff Howe, who arrested the supposed murderer in Mr. House's dining-room. On his failure to satisfactorily account for himself, he was brought to Montpelier and jailed. Dudley says he was born in Brookfield, Mass., and has been working for one Bixby in Brookfield, Vt., during the present hay season. In the dark he answers in a general way to the newspaper description of Almy. What the light of this morning will reveal remains to be seen.

And now it is C. A. Spaulding. Officer Hunt had been holding papers since last Wednesday, and Monday night happened down on Elm street. He saw five or six men, more or less intoxicated, come from Spaulding's saloon, and thought it proper to investigate. An hour or two later Mr. Hunt saw two men enter the lower door, and go up the stairs. Through a window, he saw a match struck, and a basket of bottles placed in a convenient place. About one o'clock, when all was quiet, Officers Hunt and Demerritt visited the establishment, broke in the lower door, and secured the basket, containing eighteen bottles of lager beer and several whiskey tumblers. Spaulding was brought before Justice Hinkley yesterday afternoon, charged with maintaining a nuisance and keeping with intent to sell. The case was continued until to-day, J. H. Senter furnishing $500 bail.

Miss Annie S. Young, a graduate of the Seminary, a member of the Baptist church in this place, and who is now a missionary to China, is having a very anxious time. She went out under the auspices of the Baptist Missionary Society and located at Kinh-wa, China, over two years ago. As usual during the hot season, she is now at Shoa-hing, nearly two hundred miles from Kinh-wa. In recent letters to friends in this vicinity, she tells of a native boy in their school, who twice refused to show the usual courtesy to the ruler of the place by rising when he passed. For his misdemeanor, the lad was imprisoned and beaten, and the natives roundabout are greatly excited. They affirm that disrespect to rulers is taught by the missionaries, and threaten to demolish the school buildings and expel the miscreants. There is a very bitter feeling against all foreigners in China, and Miss Young and her friends may not wholly escape the vengeance of the excited natives.

The heavy rainfall of Friday morning left several street crossings about town more or less submerged. Ponds on State and Main streets were monopolized by private enterprise. W. P. Huntington made a deal with J. V. Babcock and got sole possession of the water-front along his restaurant, while C. S. Whittier improvised a "landing" in front of his meat-market. Boats (of paper) were launched, pond-lilies suddenly opened their petals and the small boy "bobbed for whale" in the unsalted but somewhat turbid seas. In the depression in front of Blanchard's store, on South Main street, a muddy lagoon was formed, in the depths of which an equine, harnessed to a milk cart, was pawing vigorously and doing his best to perform the duties of street commissioner by his efforts to discover and open the grating to the sewer-chimney. It is high time that something of a practical character was done to provide properly-graded and paved gutters, particularly along the westerly side of South Main street. It has long been in a disgraceful condition. The street commissioner could in no way spend a little of the public money more satisfactorily to the long-suffering tax-payers than by cleaning off the street crossings during these rainy times. Hundreds of people coming into or leaving town by the Wells River railway, as well as resident pedestrians, particularly petition for a clean

crossing on South Main street, at the Hyde building. On every rainy day it is usually under an inch or two of the stickiest kind of mud. All the public crossings should have due care in "mud-time." It is one of the first things for which the public money should be spent-with system and good judgment.

The following cases were tried before Justice J. H. Senter during the past week:

State vs. Adam Benzie, for intoxication. The defendant pleaded guilty, disclosed on some one in Montreal, and was fined $5 and costs, or $10.01. Benzie was in G. B. B. Denny's store Tuesday afternoon making himself troublesome, whereupon C. S. Whittier conducted him to the "cooler."

State vs. John Burke, for intoxication. The defendant pleaded guilty, was fined $20 and costs, or $26.81, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment. He appealed, J. G. Wing and L. D. Russell becoming sureties in the sum of $100. Burke had just returned from a stop at Rutland.

State vs. Michael Kindowner, for intoxication. The defendant pleaded guilty, was fined $5 and costs, or $10.01, and disclosed on Barney McKenna. McKenna was defended by H. W. Kemp, and acquitted. Justice Senter has several substantial tokens, taken from Kindowner's numerous pockets, which show that the defendant was not hilarious without a cause.

State vs. John Smith of Moretown, for intoxication. The defendant pleaded guilty, was fined $5 and costs, and disclosed on a stranger. The stranger not being identified, Smith was incarcerated over Sunday, and his costs are still accruing.

Yesterday afternoon, at the new foundry of the Colton Manufacturing Company, were cast the first composition saddlery-hardware castings ever made in Vermont. Mr. Colton, the president of the company, has long contended that money could be saved and greater promptness and convenience in procuring castings secured by doing their own work of this kind. The company uses over one hundred and fifty tons of composition castings yearly. His plans in this respect culminated, in the early summer, in the purchase at Chicopee, Mass., of the foundry of F. J. Chapin, and the removal of all its fixtures to the works of the company at this place. A foundry was provided in the westerly end of the line of shops in which the works are situated. A week ago the fixtures arrived, and yesterday the first castings were produced. Mr. Chapin has charge of this department of the business, securing for it an intelligent, practical management. His brother, W. J. Chapin, a practical workman, is also in the employ of the company. In a short time some ten or twelve men will be employed in the foundry, making an aggregate force of fifty in this company's employ. Custom castings are also made by the company, several orders having already been received.
Montpelier is at last thoroughly aroused. The good work begun on the Fourth has been followed up in a way that means business. Last Wednesday the C. B. Roberts saloon, run by Evans & Clark, was raided by Deputy Sheriffs Long and Cook of Barre. The trap was sprung, and the liquors on hand dumped, but a one-gallon jug, partly full of whiskey, and four bottles of lager were fished from the river. On the same day, Sheriff Howe, assisted by Deputies Cook, Heath and Long, searched T. H. Moriarty's barn, in the rear of French's block, and found a two-gallon jug, partly full of whiskey, and eleven bottles of lager. Tom claimed, with great show of reason, that the wet provender found in his barn was stored there by A. W. Spaulding, a neighboring saloonist. Spaulding gave himself away by visiting his depot of supplies too frequently, going empty-handed and always returning with a tell-tale cargo. Evans and Clark were brought before Justice P. H. Hinkley, and each fined $100 for keeping with intent to sell, and $200 for keeping a nuisance. Evans pleaded guilty and appealed, and Clark's cases were continued until Saturday, at which time, owing to the absence of the defendants' counsel, they were continued until two weeks later, J. H. Senter furnishing $500 bail for each. Moriarty appeared before the same justice and J. G. Wing furnished $500 bail for his appearance for trial yesterday, when he was tried before a jury for keeping a nuisance and acquitted.

On Saturday, Deputy Sheriffs Camp, Cook and Heath raided J. A. Locklin's saloon and caught the proprietor napping. Careful measurement between the walls on the first floor was made, and it was found that one partition in the second story was so arranged as to afford considerable space between it and the next partition. Several articles hanging innocently upon the wall were removed, and a nail-hole, with a nail made to order, was found. The nail was removed, a match inserted, the curtain rose, and lo, a secret vault was disclosed where were found five gallons of cherry rum, five quarts of whiskey, five quart-bottles of apple-jack, six quart-bottles of wine, one quart of gin, and six quarts of a liquor too poor to carry a name. P. G. Dewey's saloon was next visited, but the trap was sprung and the stock dumped. A pitcher, partly full of liquor and placed on a counter, was knocked to the floor by an attendant, and its contents spilled. The old skating-rink, run by Humphrey Campbell, and William Miller's saloon, were also raided, but the search was fruitless. Locklin was brought before Justice P. H. Hinkley and Grand Juror Laird, and O. P. Forbush furnished $500 bail for his appearance for trial August 8. P. G. Dewey's case for keeping with intent to sell was continued until August 7, J. H. Senter furnishing $200 bail.
