A worthy but eccentric miller of
Cavcndish has prepared his final
resting place, and on the monument
which marks the spot is the follow

world no what | have done it is ev-
er been my heart desire to do unto
you as ] would that We should do

The Lyndon Union, speaking of
the approaching Musical Festival
at LyndOnville, says: ''The Festi-
val is carrying all before it, and no
doubt the town will be filled with
strangers during the week. OF
course every family in town will do
all they can towards entertaining
visitors. We advise those at dis
lance who come in companiesto pro-
cure tents when it is convenient
They will find it pleasant i'll the
grove, and if the weather is favora-
bic they will enjoy a few days of
that kind of life. But those who
oppose that style of lodging may
rely contideI tly upon being accom-
modatcd somewhere in the villages
of the town.
