    3. The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, April 16, 1886 Perkinsville 4/16/1886 P. C. SAWYER has left town. Miss Ida CHANDLER has gone to Springfield to work for R. G. BRITTON. Carroll PIKE has been laid up with a lame leg caused by a kick from a horse. H. S. ALBEE has moved back to his own house. Geo. HOWE will occupy the TRUSSELL house, the ensuing year. We read in last week's papers that we had a now hotel proprietor. A slight mistake. The outfit is to be sold, April 24th. We understand that Ell KEYES will stay another year with BIXBY. Ell is a faithful, obliging clerk, and Mr. BIXBY would do well to retain his services. Mr. ROBINSON tells us that he now has orders ahead, for turned stock, which will take him a year to fill--amounting to fifteen car-loads of chair legs. he contemplates putting in another lathe, soon. Eighteen western horses arrived here, lately, under the direction of Fred GIBSON. He purchased them in Michigan and has succeeded in securing a fine lot. Some of them have been at ALFORD's livery. We would like to hear farmers discuss the question as to whether grain can be raised here in sufficient quantities to keep the stock, or must it be imported from the West? Let farmers' clubs try its discussion and let us hear from them. Miss Lilla NEWHALL has been hired to teach our school, for the next year. this fact is sufficient to guaranty fo a good school. Miss NEWHALL has had experience and comes to us highly recommended. Should she fail it must be the fault of the pupils. Some Weathersfield farmers thought to be economical and so imported some Hungarians direct from Castle Garden to work for them, this season. They came and hopes ran high as the employers saw in prospect the saving in money over what a good steady Yankee would have cost. how rudely these hopes were dashed when said Hungarians decamped suddenly. The economical farmers are looking sad over the loss of sixty dollars for car fare, agents' fees, etc. Let them learn wisdom from this.
