BRATTLEBOR
THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1891.

The Governors Message, together with other
papers relating to affairs of our own State,
occupy our columns this week to the OK
clusion of the usual details of the war. In two
collisions with the enemy, on the upper Poto-
mac, our troops have proved themselves valiant
men, having obtained at each place an advont-
age, though our last position was held at the
expense of losing so good man as Col. Baker,
the distinguished. Senator from Oregon and
as we go to press rumors come of brilliant
little fight in Missouri, with retreat of the
rebels. However the past week is without a
decisive feature, and would be classed one of
''masterly inactivity" from the sur face but we
believe the Endorsements are running strong
still, and success awaits the right.

OBrUARY.-The death of DIR. Grau, which
occurred on Saturday evening Of last week.
must be accounted great loss to our commu-
nifty, in which he has resided for thirteen years.
sustaining high position in his profession as a
medical practitioner, and winning the esteem
of all who knew him, in every relation in life
So thoroughly a scientific man and one of SO
varied culture may not be found in this or hard
ly any other place in the country, and in addi-
ton to rare personal qualities, we are called to
mourn in this removal by death, loss of ac-
cumulated treasures from every department of
knowledge. Dr. Grau has been in charge of
our different Water-cure establishments during
his residence in Brattleboro, and by his skill
has relieved many sufferers from disease of
various kinds, but himself became a subject of
enlargement of the heart, which at last tcrmi-
mated his life, at the age of forty-tNo years.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

MIITARY.-Tho sixth regiment of Vermont
Volunteers passed through this village on Sat-
urday evening, en- route for Washington. So
unusual an occurrence as the arrival of n train
carrying troops, within two hours of the time
appointed, quite disconnected our reporter who
fastened to the depot at the call of the whistle.
The paragraph, "this regiment was composed
of the hardy sons of the North, ably of
fcered and fully equipped, ercelling greatly all
others that haze taken the .feld," was clipped
from New Jersey paper of week ago, to be
held for an emergency, and is handed to the
printer as the correct report of a thorough in
specton of these last departed soldiers,
upon the occasion referred to; while 1t is
whispered for the consolation of those who were
entirely unable to get to the depot, that If they
will take position any rainy night in mud
puddle of about four inches in depth, well
blmdfolded and faced up against wood-shed,
having one or two men within, Of brass lungs,
to sing out at intervals, II want hold of
Beaurtgard's wizzen-pipe~ "Kcep your tenn
per till Ce get there, JEFF " they may form a
very adequate idea Of the passage OF the sixth
regiment.

>PRoF. HARRINGToN.-From q preparatory
visit of f. NJ. Leslie, the agent, we learn that
the celebrated Boston Ventriloquist, Mimic
and Magician whose name heads this article is to
visit our citizens this week and give two of his
irimitable entertainments at the Town Hail.
1t is t,centy,fce years since he has appeared in
our town and he now makes it his initial place
previous to canvassing the State. The exhi-
billions Of this New England's favorite are at
tended by the elite and fashion of all the large
cities and at this day it were work of superb
CATION for us to do more than call attention TO
the fact of his appearance here, for probably no
man in his profession possesses so many friends
or is more generally known-alike for his gen.
tlemanly and genial manners and his profess
sional superiority. For thirty-four years has
merited prominence been accorded him-ond
alike to old and young his entertainments pos
sess that fascination which always contributes
to his success. By his advertisement in anoth-
er column will be seen further particulars, and
we bespeak an enthusiastic welcome for him
from our citizens.

PERsoNAL-Our Italian friend Gagliardi,
long time associated with young Mead in his
studio, has returned to this place from hasty
trip to his old home. His expectation was to
again make Rome his residence, but state of
things now exists in that city which renders it
most undesirable for home, and peculiarly un-
safe for person who has once enjoyed freedom
of speech as we know it in America. Gagliardi
represents the people of Italy as watching the
progress of events in our own country with
great interest, the problem of the perpetuity of
a Republican form of government being here
brought to the test. He thought the evidences
of an interest in him, quite unusual, when the
officers of customs at New York thrust their
hands into each of his pockets, pulled off his
shoes, opened his private papers, ETC., as he dis
embarked from the steamer. They probably
inferred from the general appearance Of the
man that he might like hand in all that is now
transporting on this side the water, but had not
possession of the fact that too many blows have
been given by him for liberty, in his native
land, to suffer him TO draw a traitors blade in
his adopted country.

A RIGHT STEP,--A preliminary meeting of
the "loyal women" of our village, was held on
Monday, with reference to acting in concert
with the Sanitary Commission, recently estab-
lished for the relief of cur sick and wounded
soldiers at the scat of war. With a channel
thus opened by which busy hands in our cheer
ful homes, can directly minister to the comfor;
Of those whose condition is distressing at the
best, the cooperation of an entire community
may be relied upon. A plan OF organization
and system of operation in this matter, can be
given in our next weeks issue.
