A bill has been introduced in the house
to grant a charter to the village of Brattle

lic water works. The bill is one which
should pass the legislature without opposi
tion. The measure is not founded on any
opposition to our present water supply, but

fence, for the village. If the present water
works can be mado adequate for tho public
wants next year it will settle the matter
conclusively. Otherwise tho village should

There are surprise parties and surprise
parties. In some cases the surprised per
son at a surprise party would lie surprised
if the surprise did not come off. but the
gothcring Friday evening which announced
to Guy Howe that his friends were not un
mindful of the fact that he had attained
his majority was not of this kiud, being a
genuine surprise. One of the young man's
friends induced him to go to Wells hall to
tako flash light pictures, and then ushered
him into the presence of about 100 friends
who were in waiting, with a hall gayly
decorated. Guy was taken all aback, but

Mr. Ilardie, the artist, finished an inter-
ing piece of work just before leaving town
yesterday. This was a copy of a portrait
of Sir Itichard Saltonstal), a man promi
I nent in the early history of Massachusetts,
i and the progenitor in this country of the
1 Saltonstalls, a name well and honorably
I known in Boston and vicinity, Tlie fami
! ly havo supposed tho portrait to bo a Item-
: brandt, but this Mr. Ilardie doubts, as the
style of work is entirely different from
that which Bembrandt was doing when
this portrait was painted in Holland in
1044. It is, however, a work of very groat
merit, and unmistakably came from the
hand of one of the old Dutch masters. It
is valued at the tldv sum of S40.000. The
drawing and coloring of the head and face
I are remarkably strong, life-like and effect-
I ive, and the coloring throughout is pocu-
i liarly rich and warm. Mr. Hardie's copy
l is undoubtedly a very satisfactory piece of
i work. His portrait is to be hung by the
I Saltonstall family in the Harvard memo-
rial Hall, in recognition of the fact that
I every generation of that family in this
Washington, and one, a life-size standing
portrait, for tlie state capitoiat Montpelier.

GOOD ROADS.
The question of good roads is one which
directly interests every progressive person,
and it is a pleasure to record the step
made in the right direction at Montpelier
Wednesday evening, when tlie "Vermont
League for Good ltoads" was fotmed with
Gov. Fuller as president: Dr. W. S. Webb

membership. In bodies reporting directly to this
body: but the record of 1891 far surpasses any
previous year in our history in the increase of
membership: the same jurisdiction that report
ed S7,44i! as tbe gain in imo, showing the mag
nificent number of 43..MB added to the roll in 1K91,

The entire membership in 18(1. after an exist

gratifying to know that the subject of erecting

and the aged and indigent of the order, has re
reived marked attention in several jurisdictions
during the year. Large as the ooMtnbutions in

I The I'rnplr'a I'lvr Year llriirlll Order In
Trouble.
The People's Five Year Benefit order
I was enjoined last Saturday and placed in
I the hands of a sheriff ponding the petition
1 for the aptvolntmetit of a receiver. One
after another the various endowment or
ders have gone to the wall, and although
the People's Five Year was the biggest
concern of its kind and the oldest in Mas
sachusetts, there have been rumors for some
time Kist of alioged mismanagement on
the jmrt of the supreme ollicers, and of
extravagant oxeiidltures of money for
outside puriioses.
Like the Order of the Iron Hal), it Is
said lo have Iransacled much "legislative
work," professedly In the Interests of the
order, and its imperial commander on
many occasions at meetings of fraternal
endowment men was wont to tell of the In
fluence the order possessed, not only by Its
. large membership but by its power In de
1 featlng legislation that would prove detri
mental to its interests. Immense sums of
1 money have been paid out to its agents,
and the cost of getting business during tbe
past year or two is said to have been enor
mous. Its rent for offices, its commissions
to deputies, Its salaries to stipremes. Its ex
1 penses for traveling and legislative pur
poses, have, It Is alleged, lieen a drain up
, on its resources. Whetlipr anything has
been done of a fraudulent nature remains
. lo l proven.
When Its last report Was made this or
l der had a membership of KI.'J.Ho. and Its
, liabilities are alleged to be $.8,044,200.
This order was the first of the kind to be
established in Brattleboro. It has 14ii
, members here, lo whom fSOOO or fOOOO
i has been distributed in sick benefits. The
' larger part of the members have jaid in
I about $100 each. The members of the or
i der, both here and elsewhere, claim to be
I confident of the solvency of the order and
I the supreme ollicers claim to court the full
I est Investigation. However, the proceed
I Ings to apiKiint a receiver and the financial
