The following brief extract from the
concluding remarks Of Rev. j. d. Bee
man, upon the funeral occasion Of Esq.
Sawyer, being little more in detail upon
some points, than the foregoing, we arc
permitted to copy them -
"Joshua Sawyer was born in Old Hav.
erhill, Mass, July 23d, A. D. 1899, and
was consequently 70 years of age last
July. His ancestors were highly respect
apie pcop'e, aud settled in Havcrhill as
el'ly as 1917. lie was educated in the
schools Of Haverhll and Newburyport,
and studied law with the Hon. Edward
Little of the latter place, and his old law
prec 'ptor gave him a letter of introduc.
ton to friends in Vermont bearing high
testimony TO his integrity, scholarship
and gentlemanly qualities. He was edu'
Gated in what is called the old school oil
glntlcmen, and great urbanity marked all
of his intercourse with his fellowlneu
through life. For bis old master Little
he maintained warm friendship as long
Mr.. Little lived. and cherished his memory
with affectionatc regard to the close of his
own life.
In 1909 he came to Burlington, W.,
bearing, as VIC have said, the highest rec.
concentrations from his old tutor, and of.
ter remaining a year in the Office Of Judge
Farrand, was admitted to the bar, and
came to this place in 1910 and immediate
y entered upon the practice of bis pro-
fession.

Mr.. Hardy was emphatically self

when sixteen years of age. without the
advantages of education or friends to help
him, he launched himself, burdened with
the debt ofhis purchased minorage, into
life, with an indomitable will, and uncon-
querable courage to win success. LIS
foresight and practical good sense were
displayed in the first use Of his time ana
ges,-using them to procure the rudl'
mcnts of an education. And he would
often relate to his children while extend.

most incredibly short time, he lay the
foundation Of what afterwards, increased

first came TO Lebanon sixty-seven years
ago. and commenced working for Mr..
Packard, in his mills near where Mr..
Chandler's mills now stand, Excepting
two or three times that business has called
him to reside for q short time in Canaan
and Hebron, he has made Lebanon his

Commencing life in debt, he won a
handsome property by sheer hard work.
He probably bought and sold more farms
and carried on larger farming business
than any other man who has ever done
business in Lebanon, and nersr failed mar

The Cashier of your Bank and the older
portion Of your business men will bear ne
out in the assertion. And more than this
he never sued debtor to distress him,
and nerer unless he thought he was try

his active business life, extending over the
long period Of more than half century,
has he been charged with dishonesty in
any business transacton.-An earnest,
determined man, and one of clear, decided
principles, his life naturally jostled
against the shutting, the tnlid and lazy.
lie was often heard to remark that there
was but one class Of persons he despised,
namely, lazy folks. In him passes away
almost the last survivor Of II generation
of men who helped to make the business
reputation Of Lebanon, whose names are
indelibly stamped upon the history of the
town. c.

remarks, expressing himself satisfied witt
the explanation, and said he could sec ne

cheers, AMI the meeting dispersed in OK

conditions of the town subscriptions, dt
not in any way increase the liability o.

For several weeks past the Republican

Local Matters.
Death of Joshua SlwYer.

The NevsdeaLer announces the death at
HydePark, March 10th, Of Joshua Saw
yer, Esq, in the S0th year of his age.
Esq, Sawyer came to Vermont nearly
sixty years ago and located at what is
now the village of HydePark, where he
resided until his death. He was men,
Der of the Legislature during the war OF
1872, and for many years the youngest
member. As member he at once took
high rank, and became the intimate
friend of the then rising young men ofthe
State, of whom the late VIM. G. Bradley
was one Of the most eminent, and with
the exception of Esq. Sawyer the last
survivor.
1t was however, as a lawyer that he
acquired the greatest reputation. He
commenced his professional career at the
age of twenty-one, and continued in active
practice till within year of his death.
For forty years his practice was one OF
the largest in the State, and he was nro-
badly engaged in more suits than any
other lawyer in Vermont. In his early
practice he came to the courts of Fra nix
lin and Chittenden counties, bat his best
field was in Orleans and Caledonia. In
those days the bar of those Counties was
the most brilliant in the State, and there
Esq. Sawyer, by the fertility of his re-
sources as a manager, and the brllliancy
of his wit and his imperturbab,e self-pos-
session in trials, fairly held his own as u
practitioner and commanding his full share
of business and success. At later per-
iod in the early history of Lamoille coun-
ty h e became associated with a circle Of
strong men, and here a2a,n, although dis
tractcd by pecun;ary embarrassments, and
fast approaching the decline of his life,
he sustained himself with credit, proving
himself no unequal match for the best Of
his competitors. To the end Of his days
he ways remarkable for an exhaustless
fund of anec tote, a readiness Of rerartee
and courtlincss of demeanor, which mado
him most agreeable companion. With
him the garrulousness of old age had lit
tie that was tiresome; his stories were
seldom rep3titions, and his wit was fleh
and sparkling as the youngest. As he
mingled with his younger associates his
erect form, straight to the last as an ar
row, and his dignifed carriage reminded
one of an ancient tree, standing above its
surroundings, whitened by storms and

The Concert.
town.


Wehad the pleasure of attending the con-
cert of the Morrisville Cornet Band on
Thursday Eve. last. The entertainment was
a good one, consisting Of a good variety Of
songs, quartettes, etc. interpreted with the
performances by the Band. The Band
play better than we expected it could, and
have certainly made very creditable pro-
grcss for the time they have been in prac.
tice. OF course, we were not expecting
to hear new Band perform an Andantc
as smoothly as Halls or the Marine Band.
1t was easy 10 perceive that some of the
members were a little deficient in lip, and
we supposed it to be those who had lost
their Instruments in the recent fire, and
consequently, had been deprived of prac-
tice for four or five weeks. However, a.
the bakers dozen who went from this vii
lage-ft ind the music better than they had
expected, they all returned very much
pleased.
The concert was, however, poorly pat.
ronized by the people at Morrisyllc; and
when VIC reflected that ''that Comical
Brown" had just drawn a house of nearly
400 there, We were upon the point Of feel.
ing a little ycxcd; but the excuse that
about every family had the measles seem.
ed quite sufficient. When the roads GET
settled, we hope to hear the Band over
here, and think our people would be dis.
posed to give them good house.
