A. Lord is expected to return to Mont. pelier on Thursday and a strong effort will at once De made by his friends to induce bim to become a candidate for the Montpelier postmastership. If Mr. Lord concludes to go in for the position it is probable that the other candidates might as well retire.

It is not generally known that Mr. Lord could have bad another position than the district attorneyship which he was after, but he re fused to consider it, as it would not permit him to look after his legal business here at the same time and he was unwilling to give up that for any position that must in the nature of things be temporary.

Delin, of Fayston, was arrested here last Monday by Policeman Demeritt charged with rape, on a complaint sworn out by Miss Addie Berthelot, a domestic, em ployed at the Langdon farmhouse. Miss Berthelot, who also comes from Fayston, charges that the deed was done near her home there two weeks ago last Sunday.

Smith came here from Winooski some time ago to work for the New England Telephone company, And up to last Sunday attracted no especial attention. On that day he changed his role, and for a time completely filled the public eye in the vicinity of the Union house, where he boarded.

He loaded himself with whiskey and a desire for blood, and ballasted the cargo with a disposition to make trouble for the inoffensive and harmless. His career came to a close at the Union house, where he met other spirits similar to his own, and the war whoop sounded abroad. A few minutes later the police arrived and gathered up the remains, which were Smith's, and they were entombed in the Eim street repository. On Monday afternoon, with the assistance of a faith cure and an electric battery, Smith was resuscitated sufticiently to plead guilty to a plain drunk before Justice Lucia, only to be sent back to jail by the marble hearted judge, who refused to accept the "disclosure" that he bought the whiskey of a pocket peddler whom he did not know.

The tarmers of this vicinity state that the present has been the worst season in their memory for harvesting hay. The crop WAS never better but it has been almost impossibie to gather it without having it badly injured by rainy weather.

The damage to streets, highways, bridges, has been immense in this State but the loss on all these has been insignificant compared with that on the hay crop. The damage to roads, has been only in sections while there is hard. ly a farmer in the State who has not had his crop of hay injured to a greater or less ex. tent. In the government erop reports for New England drst July the grass crop was recorded the highest in several years, but In later reports the percentage has dropped steadily until now 1 is below normal and first class bay, dried without wetting, promises to be unusually scarce and high the coming winter, while there will be an over supply of the second and inferior grades In this section the hay crop is ally all harvested by the 20th of July but this year the rain has fallen SO persistently that some of the best farmers bave hardly begun their haying.

Wood to St. Augustine's Church last Monday evening was a striking and most impressive ceremony. Bishop Michaud was present, as were also Fathers O'Sullivan, of St. Albana, and Shannon, of Under bill. The church was crowded to the farthest corner and could hardly have held another person, unless the surplusage had been pinned against the wall like butterflies in a boy's collection.

The fine-t flower gardens in the city must have been despoiled to supply the many beautiful flowers used in the decorations of the in terior of the church. Wild flowers and potted plants bore their part in honor and beauty, while nodding palms and drooping ferns graced the approaches to the church. The altar, communion table and the various pedestals bore groups of symbolle tapers, the interspersing of flowers and candelabra mak. ing a pretty and artistic effect. Directly in front of the entrance to the chancel sat Thomas W.

Wood, the creator and the donor of the beautiful work of art. Beside Mr. Wood were John Mooney and Moses Morey, trustees of St. Augustine's Church, into whose ownership the beautiful painting passed, to become the pride of the present and the future as long as the church and its boly work shall continue. The picture itself, and the frame by Mrs.

J. W. Bur. gess, have been previously described in the colums of the ARGUS AND PATRIOT. Followin the opening musical selection, Mr.

Wood made a brief address, turning over the picture and its trame to the church. Mr. Wood said: YOUR REVERENCE: I have the honor to represent those who have joined in the creation of the gift now about to be made by us to your congregation. Born and raised as Protestants, and still adhering to that faith, we are nevertheless able to appreciate and to prize the work which your great church has done for civilization, not only in religion and morals and charity, but also in art and letters. It is especially for what it has done in the creation of art, and in the protection and conservation of the objects art, that we as artists desire to make recognition of our indebtedness to it.

And we desire to make that recognition after the manner of artists, by intrusting to your care a copy of one of those treasures of art which the genius of sour great re igion luspires. We have selected for this purpose the Madonna of Rosary, by the great Spanish master Murillo, the original of which how hangs in the Dulwich Gallery near London, as the masterpiece of that superb collection. It is with profound that I now hand vou the title to this painting with its accessories, in the full faith that you and your successors will cherish and preserve it, and with the earnest hope that may prove a source of culture and delight you and them, and to all who may be permitted to look upon it. Father O'Sullivan said in MR. WOOD, MRS.

BURGESS: With the sanction and approval of the Right Rev. Bishop of the diocese of Burlington here present and in the name and on bebalf of the parishioners of St. Augustine's Church of Montpelier and in my own name, William Joseph O'Sullivan, actually pastor of St. Augustine's Church of Montpelier, do hereby gladly and gratefully accept at your hands the magnificent aft of this beautiful painting of "La Madonna del Rosario." to be forever held in our parish church and preserved as a most inestimable treasure. And now, esteemed and generous friends, at utterance of mine can properly express our sentiments of gratitude for this princely gift 9 Words are inadequate to fittingly translate our deep, heartfelt sentiments of appreciation of your kindness and genrosity; therefore we will simply say, we thank you--we sincerely thank you and will forever cherish this noble gift with fervent sentiments of esteem and gratitude.

The game last Friday was an easy thing for the home team and the Marble Slabs from Rutland were engraved with the epitaph, "20 to in favor of the Granite Monuments. The raids last Sunday made up in part for the recent quietness in the -pasm of liquor law enforcement. Two officers, Deputy Sheriffs C. C. Graves and Cooley of Waterbury, came to Barre with a warrant signed by Jus.

lice Scott on an information filed by State's Attorney Howland, and visited the City botel and Commercial hou-e. In the first place their entrance failed to attract much attention and they were shown down stairs to the wash room where the officers requested to be shown the liquors in stock. On the cellar bottom they tound 41 pint bottles of whiskey, which WAS taken. They then went 10 the Commercial house, but that place didn't know what intoxicating hquors were and officers found nothing. The case came up Monday evening when it was adjourned to next Friday.

The proprietor of the City botel was placed under $200 bonds for keeping with intent to sell. The city council held a regular session last week Tuesday evening. The first business was a petition from Rodney MeLlav, No. 15 Church street, asking that something be done to abate the nuisance of sewage running through his cellar, which be claimed was from a blind well on the grounds of H. A.

Phelps, and a poor drain from the Foster tenement houses. At this point Dr. Chand ler, the health officer. www gent for, and upon his appearance he stated that the board of health bad a meeting Saturday night and adjudged the matter a nuisance. and were waiting for a reply from the City Attorney in regard to right and title before proceedIng further.

Mayor Gordon stated that be had gone to Attorney Hoar and stated that the parties were ready to put a water tight iron pipe across Me Lay's land to the sewer on Church street. McLay claimed that the parties had no right of way across his land, and he had cut off and plugged up the old drains in bopes that would stop the leaking into his cellar, but that the pipes were 80 bad that the leakage was worse than before. After a lengthy discussion a resolution WAS presented notifying and ordering H. A. Phelps and William McElroy to make a suf.

ficient drain before July 25, or the city would do it as called for in the city ordinance: passed. A petition to the street commissioners was read asking for a street from Elm street extension to Park street extension across to East and parallel with Eastern avenue. An drew, of Bannett, was given a license to run night lunch cart near Scampani's, on North a Main street. Permission was given to connect several houses with sewers; also to hang signs. A 30-candle power light was ordered to be placed at the corner of North Main street and Maple avenue.

The balance of the business of the board consisted in granting building permits, except a report of the city engineer. He made a final estimate on building sewer Hill and Camp streets, at a cost of $82.75, on Patterson street at $47 35. He also presented a grade plan of North Main street which was accepted. George H. Howe and Frank Williams were eleeted special policemen for the remainder of the year, and the board adjourned.
