Mr.. Anthony Colvin, who died at Ben
pinAton, July 25th. he was one of the
oldest residents of this town, being at the
time of his death over 20 years of age, and
having nearly his whole life resided here,
until within the past year, during which
time he has lived at Bennington with his
son-in-law, Mr.. Milo G.. Remington, at
whose residence he died. He was son
of Stephen Colvin, who died in 1907
a grandson of Luther Colvin, one Of the
pioneer settlers of this town, and Rive
of Rhode Island. Mr.. Colyin was a tan
ner and currier by trade, having for
many years carried on that business, in
different parts of the town. Although a
hard laboring man, he never acquired
much of "this worlds goods" but by
honesty and uprightness in all his deal
ings, he won and retained the respect Of
his townsmen, in an eminent degree. He
had worked at farming more or less for
the past few years of his life. Being a
member of tie Masonic fraternity, he
practiced and applied the tenets of his
profession to his everyday life, and was
one of the oldest Masons in town, having
been member of the old Farmers Lodge
some fifty years ago. He squared his
life by the square of virtue, and was well
fitted for that Celestial Lodge above
where the Supreme Architect of the uni
ntso Il

He leaves a large circle of relatives to
mourn his death.
An interesting Sabbath school has
been in progress at the Corners. for two or
three weeks, Daniel Fish superintendent
The school is well attended each Sabbath,
and has good corps of teachers. Mrs.
William Vail is teacher of the Bible class,
which numbers about thirty. The sub
ject of the Divinity of Christ is selected
for next Sabbath. The Sunday school Is
the land, for it is there the youthful mind
receives those religious instructions,
which are to guide it in the right direc-
ton through life, and where we learn the
golden rule which leads to heaven. II j.
a place where pleasant associations are
formed, where the moral and social yir-
tues are unfolded, tending to make IL
better men and women. Many Of our
most eminent men, who have blessed the
world the most, could point TO the Sab
bath school, as the starting point, and
where the seeds were sown that resulted
in a life of usefulness to mankind.

Women's Rights I'm the Council Of
CenSOrS.

We learn that on Thursday the Com
mittee on Suffrage made a unanimous
report in favor of extending the right of
suffrage to women, which was ordered to
lie and be printed. Mr.. Dewey offered
the following resolution
Rssolced, That the Committee an Suf-
frage be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pedieacy of 80 amending Sec. %, Part
Second of the Constitution as to read as
follows:
Sec %. The inhabitants of this State,
aoith0m regard to sec, shall be trained and
armed for its defence under such regula-
tions, restrictions and exemptions as Con-
gress, agreeably to the Constitution of the
United States and the Legislature of this
State shall direct. The several companies
of militia shall as often as vacancies hap
pen, elect their captain and officers, and
the captains and subalterns shall recon-
mend the field officers of their respective
regiments who shall appoint their staff
officers and no person shall be disqualified
from holding any military office on account
ofser.
This resolution was read, and Mr.
Dewey said that speaking for the bet
ter half Of the constituency of that body
be would move that the resolution be
printed as an appendix to the report o.
the committee in order that the ladies
might be informed that the Council wer,
taking into consideration the propriety o
extending to them also the natural and
inalienable right of the women as well al
the men, to bear arms in self-defenee, ant
for the preservation of their liberties.
The President: The chair is in some
doubt, whether it is the intention of thu
gentleman from Rutland to have his reso
luton precede or follow the report. L
seems to be sort of tail to kite ant
that it should follow.
Mr. Dewey remarked in his scat, tina
doubtless the President was correct il
comparing the report to a kite, and asked
what would kite be good for without
went further than the report of tn
committee, and proposed to extend t
women what is declared in the Declare
tion of Independence, to be an inalienabl
right of all men, meaning mankind
while the ballot was nowhere declared t
be such.
Objection being made by a member o
the Committee on Suffrage to printing
the resolution of Mr.. Dewey in connec
ton with their report, Mr. Dewey remark
ed that he had no desire to embarras
them. and then withdrew his motion.

SUMMER ENEMIES. is quite the
number of cholera morbus cases usual at
this season of the year. Green and parti-
ally decayed fruits and vegetables are
plenty at the market and street corners,
and the purchasers, of all ages and sexes,
are numerous. 1t is useless, perhaps, to
repeat the warning which nearly every
ones experience and observation suggests
in reference to the use of immature gard
en- and field products at such season.
Three-fourths of all who thus tempt sick
ness and danger do SO with full know
ledge. A craving appetite overcomes
reason, or cheats into belief "for inst once
the green apple or peach, the half ripe po-
tatoe, may be eaten with impunity, and
that the crisp and cool cucumbers, which
give such relish for the meats at dinner,
will not get up a quarrel with the stom-

doctor. Ii full grown men and women
will do this, it is their own and their
friends business but children should not
only be warned of the danger, but all
provooations of cholera placed beyond
their reach. The mortality reports show
that the death rate among children goes
up fearfully in the months of July and
August. There are doubtless other causes
of this than eating unripe fruit and vege.
tables, but this is the principal cause
beyond doubt Their frail system,
