The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Sherburne 7/5/1889 [deferred from last week.] Some frost on the boards, the morning of the 18th, and thermometer down to 40 degrees. the ladies sprinkled their tender plants, but guess no great damage was done about here. I hear that our folks had a regular lawsuit, last week. The case was called an assault. There were three lawyers from Rutland and a part of the jury from Windsor county. Those who attended say there are other cases on the docket. According to the newspapers, the style or fashions are different now than when we were young. Most all denominations have one day each year they call children's day, and carry into the meeting house all manner of plants and flowers, canary birds, etc., making a nice celebration. Hold on grandfather! We old folks well have one, another year, and out-do them--carry in strawberries, pop-corn and sleigh-bells. Wm. GIFFORD had an owl visit his premises and kill his best turkey, that was setting on 16 eggs. He put the eggs under hens, caught the owl in a trap, and sold it at Rutland alive. he says financially he got out of it pretty well, revenge on the criminal being worth something. G. A .PETTY and E. S. COLTON are appraisers and commissioners on the estate of Mrs. Agnes DANIELS. A rare case in this town, where the husband is living. It is not a common thing in any town. Miss NICHOLS' school closed last week in district No. 1. Several scholars said they could not help crying which was a good mark for the teacher. The teacher and scholars in district No. 2 took a ride, last week, to Brigdewater. the carriage was packed full, and a few left behind. A beautiful day and a good time generally for the children.
