of Miss Louisa Bell Simonds, was a very
attractive affair and reflected much cred
it both upon the teacher and her class.
There were several cases of prostra-
ton in Chester from heat on the 18th
inst, but none fatal.
Jesse Hosmer resident of Chester,
and brakeman on the Rutland railroad,
had his collar bone broken by being
thrown from car near Healdville, July
10Th.
Miss Emma Ordway was quite severe
ly injured on the 10th inst, by the over
turning of carriage in which she was
riding.
On the 10Th inst, the school taught by
Miss Susan Church paraded the streets
with music and banners and afterwards
adjourned to the grove near Osgood Sar-
geants and spent the afternoon in So
cial pic mic.
VIM. III. III. Cram while at work at the
mill of Parmenter q Powers on the 18th
inst, was injured by piece of board
flying from the circular saw and striking
him in the face. 1t was at first feared
that he would lose the sight of one eye,
but it is now hoped that such result
may be avoided.
Among the list of delegates purported
to have been elected to the Conservative
Soldiers and Sailors Convention at New
York, by convention at Montpelier,
was the name of Lieut.. Warren C. VIII
liarls of Chester. Lieut.. Williams being
an earnest and active republican, is pref
ty indignant at the unwarranted use of
his name, and well he may be, since a
man who by dint of the strongest resolu-
ton marched for days when he was sick
enough to be lying ON his bed, that he
might strike blow for his country at
Gettysburg, is not the man to be accused
even by implication with an affiiation
with the draft-sneaks, rioters and cow
ards who are the acknowledged friends of
Horatio Seymour.
