THE FATE OF A GREEN NOUN
TAIN BOY.

Among the brave men who left their
homes to fight for country, was one by the
name of Abel Blanchard, Jr, of Barnard,
private in the Vermont company. His
friends in B have recently received let
ter from sergeant Miller, Of Company ID,
informing them Of his death. Previous to
The battle of Chapultepec, he had been
out of health and unable to attend to duty;
but on the morning Of that evenlful day
he insisted upon taking his gun and going
into the ranks ,altho he was advised not to
do so, on account of his health. During
the engag cement of that day he fell upon
the rocks ard cut his head severely, from
which injury he died in the hospital Oh
the lst of October, Young Blanchard
was but seventeen or eighteen years old
but is spoken Of as possessing all the cool,
ness and decision OF the vetran soldier
While the names OF the gallant officers
who have fell are familiar to ALL we would
not forget this tribute due the no less brave
and meritorious soldiers whose valor has
won so many glorious victories and tho
his death must be severe affection to his
friends they will have the satisfaction o
knowing that he died in The service Of his
country.

The Wood Market,

1t seems as the fates and the wood
sellers had combined the present season,
with a determination to see how much they
can atlict us poor mortals who have no
"wood lots" There has been no sleding
thus far this winter, and the expense of
transportation is necessarily somewhat
greater, but that is no reason why we
should be Obliged to take sic feet or less
of miserable rotten wood for a cord, and
pay most unreasonable price at that
We are willing the farmers should make
all they can from their products but we do
think they are most outrageous on their
wood. The rate at which wood has sold
here for the last two months, so far as we
have known anything about it, has been
nearly double the usual market price
But, few inches of snow will change the
aspect materially, and we advise all who
would be prepared for an emergency of
this kind, to buy their wood when the
sIedlng is good and the supply is greater
than the demand. BY the way, we should
like Just one load GU: Of the twenty-five
or thirty cords, promised on subscrip lion,
about this time. Don't all come at once,
