He was brought about mile to the rear, to

less of his business affairs. He spoke freely
about dying and expressed his desire for a
speedy release from suffering, and spoke Of
being in heaven with Jesus, and said he was
willing to die for his country. He felt that
he was reconciled to God. He spoke of be-
ing through with fighting and going to his
rest. He has all excellent record during this
campaign, according to Col. Henry. He
fought with the greatest bravery, and has
earned good name as soldier. HIS regi.

Our fellow citizen, E. G. Redington, Esq,
who had been i'll for several days, was at
tackled on Wednesday morning with laryn-
gifts and pdema of the CLOTHS, which re-
quirel an almost instantaneous operation OF
,racheotomy to prevent suffocation.
The operation was successfully performed
by DR.. Newell, assisted by DR.. Brooks and
DR.. Browne, and on the insertion of the tube
into the wnd-ppe, the patient experienced
immediate relief. We are glad to learn from
Drs. Newell and Brooks, one of whom is ir

covery is favorable.

Brief Locals.

The improvements going forward in our
village are quite noticeable, prominent among
which are the clearing of Central Park, twill

of Winter street p the new fence around the
South Park, the'guard rail on Main street

Jack Frost nipped the tender plants quite
hard last Sabbath morning, not sparing even
the corn and potatoes. The freeze extended
north of us into Orleans county, doing
GREAT amour. of damage in some localities,
while in others the fog or the wind prevent
Cd any damage. The prospect now is that
there will be good crop of beans, which at
Dre.ent prices is about as good a crop to
raise as any. Since the freeze the weather
has been hot and quite dry and dusty.
AT the meeting Of the stockholders call
ed at their banking no use on Tuesday to see
# they would vote to close up the affairs of
the Passumpsic Bank, the matter was discus
.ed and the meeting adjourned for three
weeks.
In a private letter received from anoth-
er part of the state the writer says he is pre-
paring lecture-subject, " Hash )" and adds,

MIN never to deliver it them he might be
indicted for manslalghter.
The letter published this week from the
the % Brigade is from Walter Harvey, who
enlisted from Barnet in September, 1862,
and was assigned to Co. X, Sd Regt. Upon
the organization of the present pioneer sys-
TEN he was detailed, and is now acting as
sergeant of the Vermont Brigade pioneers.
Mr. E. d. Blodgett received dispatch
from his brother Capt. Pearl D. Blodgett
recently wounded, stating that he was COM
Portable and hoped to be round again in
few weeks. The wound is in the forearm
near the hand. Although the wound is Sc
we're it is believed that the hand will be
saved.
The town paid Boston firm last year
over fifty dollars for injuries their horse re-
ceived by stepping on small round stone
in passing out of this village. If every
round stone in the streets within our village
limits should be the cause of as much dam
age the present season there would be apret-
ty heavy bill Of damages to settle. The two
avenues and the hill towards Passumpsic are
particularly faulty in this respect, and team
sters make the matter much worse by trig-
gny their wheels with stones and then leav-
ing them in the middle Of the street. A
better way is to have a wooden trig attached
to the wagon by rope. But few things add
more to the credit or attractions Of village
or town than good streets and sidewalks, and
we hope to see increased attention to this
matter in our own village and vicinity.

The Late Colonel Preston.

On Thursday of last week our citizens
were notified that the remains of Col. Pres
ton would reach this place on the after
noon train. A large number assembled at
the depot, including the officers OF the
court now in session here, and the members
Of the bar. On the arrival of the body a
procession was formed and, with the stars
and stripes borne aloft-that flag which he
whom we honored so dearly loved-it moved
.orward to the slow measured beat OF the
drum, while the tolng bells sounded forth
arequiem for the departed spirit. The es-
cort accompanied the funeral train some
distance on its way to Danvlle, where the
last sad ceremonies Of consigning dust to
dust took place on Sunday afternoon.
FUNERAL SERVICES.

bled to do homage to the earthly remains of

capacity, hundreds not being able to gain ad-

Voluntary by the choir, Rev. Mr.. Eastman

Mr.. EDITOR: have always supposed that
our cemetery was to all its visitols.a sacred
spot but am constrained TO think that some
who 20 there have neither delcacy; Of feel
ing nor honesty Of purpose. Cannot a
mother place flowers above her child's head
without some passer by, boldly intruding up-
on the sacredness of her grief, and standing
over her, curiously watching her movements
while she arranges these trail memorials OF
her tender love? But even worse than this
ignorant intrusion, is the fact that when she
returns the next day to water her flowers,
and to replace the faded with fresh ones,
must she find her flowers gone, stolen from
her daring's grave? The past week saw
these things done in our own cemetery. Is
there no way to reach such thieves
