4 waiter W IdHuoh ahl John ~. Baxter,
as will be seen by their advertisement in
another column, have formed copartner-
shp,and taken the store formerly occupied
by French II Kingsley for the transaction
! OF q wholesale and retail tirocery and
| Provision business. This firm will be
! quite an acquisition to the business of Rut-
land.
Our friend Ben k Chase has also asso-
eiated with himself, Mr. w. II. Parker,
and business will hereafter be transacted
| by them under the firm Of Chase and Par
| ker.
The favorable reputation as business
man and citizen already obtained by Mr..
Chase, together with the strength gwen the
concern by Mr.. Parker, is a sure guaran-
tee of success to them, and thew have our
best wishes. M
We also learn that Colonels Veazie and
Proctor are soon 10 open law ohice in
Rutland. Ii they prove themselves as ef-
tcient Az the bar as they have shown
themselves gallant in the field, they will
add materially to the character Of the
Rutland County bar.

enforced IN fitting terms the obvious NOR
al and religious lessons to be drawn from
so unexpected stroke-of Divine Proyi-
dence. MIR. Stafford spoke of DR.. Pease
as having been all his life emphaticaIlv a
growing man, and of the fact that the
nigh and holy purpose of fitting himself

Intellectual efforts. The ceremonies closed
