Death Of an Editor.

r. B. Milliken, editor of the Brandon
edition of the Vermont Record, was
found dead in his bed on Friday morn
ing of last week. He was brother of d.
L. Milliken of the Springfield Record.
In the Brandon edition of last week is
the following feeling tribute to his men,
DRY:
Royal Bellows Milliken, editor and
publisher of this paper, and only brother
of ID. L. Milliken, its founder, died sud-
denly at his sleeping room in Simond's
Block, near his business office, at about
seven o'clock this Friday morning, Feb.
It'll, aged % years, 8 months, and % days.
He had been In feeble health for about
year, and within the few past weeks it
had become evident to all who saw him
daily that he was to fall victim to that
deceptive disease, consumption, but his
death at this time was wholly unlocked
for by his friends. During the present
week his friends renewed, with earnest
ness, their efforts to induce him to give
up business, and to return to his brothers
home in Brattleboro, but he stoutly re-
sisted, vainly believing that he was yet
fully to recover his health, and clinging
to his editorial and Office labors to the
last, literally "dying in the harness.
having performed his last labor in the
Office the evening previous, retiring at
half past nine o'clock to enter upon the
sleep of nature, from which he uncon-
sciously knows no earthly waking. On
Saturday his remains will be borne ten
derby to his mother, and his native place,
Springfield, VT, where the funeral will
be attended on Sunday.
Though cripple from early childhood,
a strong physical constitution and an iron
will enabled him to endure suferings and
hardships of the severest nature, and to
resist storms of giant force. Possessed,
too, of a mind that but needed the ad-
vantages of culture to have been felt

No MORE POSTAGE SrAMPs.-It is an
neunced that we are hereafter to have
stamped envelopes only. The old fash
Toned postage stamp once considered SO
great convenience, is now voted as a
nuisance. They are so often lost when
used, and are so often forgotten by writ
ers of letters, that the department has
decided to discourage their further use.
Accordingly, disseminating their further
manufacture, it has determined to issue
in future only stamped envelopes. These
will be issued of all sizes and rates of
postage, and to encourage their general
use they will be sent to any address,
when three hundred are ordered, with
the printed notification ON the back to
return to the writer if not called for in a
specified time. This remailing, also, will
be done free of postage.

An Old Paner.


Mr.. Samuel Guild of this village has
presented us with an old newspaper, con-
siderably older than the one noticed by us
some weeks since, and through which we
have looked with much interest. 1t is
in good state Of preservation and in
good typography for the times in which
it was printed. 1t is called the Far
mer's Museum or Literary Gazette" and
was printed at "Walpole, New Hamp-
shire, Tuesday. December Z, 1901" and
is vol. 8 and No 453. 1t is printed by
David Newhall, who appears to have
been an enterprising man in Walpole,
Judging from his advertisements, among
which is one of considerable length for
Almanacs for 1902. The following lines
stand just under the head as standing
motto:
This folio of four pages, happy work!
What is it but map Of busy life,
Its fluctuations and its vast concerns!
''Tis pleasant. through the loopboles of retreat.
10 peep AZ sucu II WOrlus 10 set the siiF
OF the great Babel. and not feel the crowd.
This paper had quite an extensive cir
culation for that day, and it received and
printed contributions from able men,
among whom were the late Hon. Royal
Tyler of Brattleboro, whose wit and hui
NOR frequently made its columns very
entertaining. Its patronage in the num-
Der before us covers quite an extent of
country. Asa Houghton at Keene, N.
H., advertises Diary and Almanac :"
for 1902. Another advertisement in it is
for the settlement of the estate of Giles
Marvin late of Alstead," N. H.. ano-
Their of some land in Duxbdry, Vermont.
and Mr.. Newhall himself wants a jour
neyrifan printer, and also one or two APP
prentices provided they shave good
learning" and come otherwise recon-
mended. Mary Nichols of Swanzey, On.
H., } wants divorce, and there is a Wind
sor County Court notice in it from Hart
ford in this State, signed BENZ. Swan,
clerk" We Judge that Walpole must
have been a more lively town in business
than at the present day. In its foreign
news it has dates to Oct. 25. From Rus
STA to Oct. II. 1t also gives the follow
ing account of a powder explosion at
Baltimore in Maryland, under the head
of Dreadful Accident" and under date
of Nov. 20, 1901:
1.-THE catastrophe happened about nine
o'clock at night; and, as near as we can
learn, was caused by one of the work
men taking the burning snuff of lamp
wick in his fingers, and finding it rather
hot, threw it hastily and inadvertently
into heap of about three hundred
weight of powder, then undergoing its
operation in the mill. The explosion
was instantaneous the house 80 by 40
feet, with every atom in it, was mounted
in the air. OF the roof, not vestige can
be found and the walls, which were of
massy stone, are levelled with the ground.
The man wdo was least injured said the
first place he found himself in, after the
return of his senses, was the mill-race,
without knowing, for while, what could
have placed him there.
