CHEsTER.-W made visit 10 Chester
the first of this week, and though the wealth
er was of the most unfavorable nature, our
stay was made Of the most pleasant char
acter. We made our head quarters at
Ingrahams' where no better care could pos
sibly be wished for. Mr.. Ingraham is a
peoples man, and they will part with him
with sincere regret. We spent Monday
evening with the Band, as it, fortunately
for us, happened to be the time of one of
their regular meetings. Without giving
particulars Of the charming manner with
which they discourse music, we have no
hesitation in saying that they justly rank
among the first bands in our State. We
shall always speak good word for Chester
! Band.
| Tuesday forenoon was mostly spent in Wis
iting Chester Academy. The exercises of
the opening session are solemn and appro-
pirate. All of the students paid deep
respect to the occasion, and many of them
seemed to have it deeply in their hearts
The school is rapidly gaining in public ia.
vor. Mr.. Laws, the principal, is evidently
the man for the place. He is building up
the school. During the recitations we lis
tened to, he scarcely used book, but put
forth questions pertaining to practical things
1t was the useful, and when the main query
was answered the student receives a volIey
of "wbys." Mr.. Laws has secured a CAPT
tai board of teachers. Miss Sargent, whc
is lady of fine talents, is precepIess, ant
Mrs. Laws, the amiable wife of the princi
pal, is, we believe, teacher of languages

BURGLARY.-The store of Mr.. S. A.

evening last and the money drawer and
contents taken. 1t seems that Mr.. Nelson
had missed the key to his store, some three

question, at about 9 o'clock, he left the store
with light burning in it, and went some

SALE OF HoRsEs.-There was recently

age price paid is not less than one hundred
dollars, which would make ten thousand
dollars paid out in one week for horses in
that county. We are informed that the
"Jennison horse" sold for $500; several
other horses brought from $3.50 TO 5000.

Death of o. A. BOwe.

We are panied to learn of the death OF
o. A. Bowe, which took place in New
York on Sunday afternoon, of the 9th inst.
He was Vermonter and printer. We
first met him when we became connected
with the Republican Office at Bratteboro,
in 1854 He was then associate editor Of
that paper, and so continued till near 1893.
He was fellow apprentice with Horace
Greeley at Poultney, in this State, and at
forwards published a paper at Herkimer
Falls, called the Herkimer Freeman, and
for short time he published a paper
at Bradford in this State, in 1850.
His somewhat sudden death at this time,
will startie our readers who have recently
become acquainted with him as the author
of the article published in the TINES some
weeks since, relative TO the Vermont Book
of Poets, signed "Asculney." which at
tracted so much attention and called forth
so many replies. He was always earnest
and devoted TO the cause of Temperance
and Anti-Slavery. Our acquaintance with
him at Brattletoro, was one of unusual
pleasure and pr,fit, and had been continued
by occasional correspondence up to the
time of his death, which has come upon US
in most unexpected moment. lie has
for three years past, been connected with
the Office of the New York Sun, and we
copy from that paper of March 7,as follows :
DEATH OF O. A. BowE.-MR. OBADI-
! All A. BOWIE, for some time past connected
with the editorial department of The San,
died yesterday afternoon, at his residence

BowE was a native of Vermont, and was a
fellow apprentice to the printing business
with Mr.. HORACE GREELEY, of The Iri6-
une The friendship then founded has new
err been interrupted, and it was through Mr.
| GREELEY's representations of the expert
ence and personal worth of his friend that
he became, about three years ago, con
nected with our office. At that time, anc
for some time previously, his general health
was good, but with slight interruptions, he
was able to attend to his duties until lately
when he was seized with an intermittent
fever, which acting upon an impaired con
stitution, terminated fatally after a shor
illness.
. Mr.. BowE has been connected with tn,
American press, as printer and publisher
and in other capacities, for thirty years
I AS newspaper publisher, he was not for

keen business habits; his yielding good ma

advance of tie times. He was man {

an ardent, infexible advocate of what Ii
u believed to be right and just. Our ow

IMPORTANT TO HARD DRINKERs.-We
had occasion in our last, to present the
painful circumstances connected with the
death of Mr.. Chester johnson, of Wards

we were told if Mr.. johnson had remained
in the establishment where lie drank his
liquor, the probability was that he might
have been saved, as some young men were
out at Wardsboro, from Jamaica. a sbor,
