ORwELI.-Mrs. Bascom, wife of Sam.
uel III. Bascom, Esq, of Orwell, died on
the 4th inst, after lingering illness OF
several months. She was possessed OF
those rare qualities of Christian virtue
which endeared her to the family, the
church and the community at large. Few
pass away to the spirit land leaving be-
hind them purer record, and wider cir
Gle of sorrowing friends. To know her
was to love her. She passed peacefully
into the arms of her Saviour, breathing
the prayer which He offered in the garden
of Gethsemane eighteen hundred years
ago. 30, My Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me; nevertheless
not as I will but as thou wilt" Her fun
eral was attended from the Congregations
al Church on Wednesday the 7th inst.
The sermon was preached from the above
text by the pastor, to large conoourse of
sorrowing people. ....-.

RUTLAND, VI, THURSDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 29 1870

LUDLow.-ST. JOINS CHURCH FEs-
TIvAL.-This festival, which was held
under the direction of "The Ladies' In.
dustrial Society,"" at Hammond.Hall, on
Wednesday evening, was one of the most
successful entertainments ever given in
Ludlow, both financially and socially.
Though stormy night, there were about
300 persons present. The play, "The
Spirit of 49," 1876, was received with
abundant laughter and applause by the
audience. The music, though not 30 much
of it az we would have liked, was very
fine-especially the duet by Mrs. Fl. III.
Howe and Mrs. c. R. Raymond. Mrs.
Howe's voice never showed to better ad-
vantage. A very attractive feature was
the young ladies, dressed in the olden
time costumes of our grandmothers, who
served the old-fashioned New England
supper. If our grandmothers were as
beautiful and charming in these old cos.
TUNES and ooiffures as were they who so
bewitchingly served us at this festival,
we don't wonder that our grandfathers
fell in love with them. The silver tea
service and tea pot, valued at SIS, was
drawn by Mrs W. b. Hoskinson of Heald-
vilre. The imported French doll, with
her complete trousseau, valued at $50,
was drawn by Miss Minnie Mansfield of
New York.
We think that the "Ladies' Industrial
Society of st. Johns Parish" have every
reason to congratulate themselves upon
the abundant success of their first fair
and festival. When they give another
may we be there to see.
The treasurer of the society reports
that the profits of the festival over all ex.
penses are over $3.50.

IEhSONAL.--a OOCSEsSr OL nuAN'-<A
good and funny fellow is Sam Spaulding
of the Tobacco manufacturing house Of
spaulding & Merrick, Chicago. We have
often heard of him and his fund of mirtb,
but it has never been our good luck to
meet him until he called upon us yester-
day. Mr.. spaulding looks like the good
feeder that the Chicago Tribune of late
date says he is: HE does not look like
man that would be easily frightened away
from good meal" Mr.. spaulding is in
Vermont, on a visit to his father, an old
and much respected resident of Brandon,
who has reached the good old age of 80
years. At the same time Sam has an eye
open for business, and is establishing
agencies East for the sale of his celebrated
chewing tobacces. Messrs E. D. Keyes &
Co., of this place ale the sole agents Of
Spaulding 81 Merrick's tobacco for this
state,-and from what we hear and know
of their goods, thy are of a superior
quality and are fast coming into general
use.
Mr spaulding says that he intends to
forward to Messrs. Keyes & Co., for gratu-
itous distribution, enough tobacco so that
every lover of good tobacco in the town
of Rutland can have free Of charge, one
can containing IA pound of their cele-
brated brand "Charm of the West"
Mr.. Spaulding left Vermont in the year
A. D., 184S, and for a few months fol-
lowed the life of a travelling peddler,
trunk in hand. He soon procured situa-
tion with the Claremont Manufacturing
Company OF niaremont, n. H, which
position he held as general agent until
the year 1854, when he embarked in the
general Yankee notion trade, in which
business he remained until 1856, when he
sold his stock and team to the now world
known Col. Woodbine James Erie Fisk,
Jr. In 1857 Spaulding went TO Mil
waukee, Wis, where he engaged in the
manufacturo and sale 1T tob~ eco. The
year A. D., 46Gl, found him Ia the grow
ing city of Chicago, under the firm name
of Spaulding 4 Merrick. To-day they
are the leading house in their particu-
lar branch of trade, selling their own pro-
ductions nearly s500,000 per annum, and
paying into the treasury of Uncle Sam
from one to two thousand dollars per day;
besides knowing that they have the pleas
ure of giving employment to nearly one
hundred operatives and occupy, from cell
lar to dome, building No. 9 and II,
River street, five stories in height, be-
sides a 10 foot basement in which is To-
Gated their engine, boiler, printing press,
etc.
A call from genial, anterprising Yer
monter-one who like Mr.. Spsulding
has made his own way in the world, un-
aided except by the force of the elements
of perseverance and character that are
within himself-is always hailed with
pleosuro and made welcome. We wish
the young men of the present day had
the force of character and indomitable
will that have been exhibited by Mr..
Spaulding, and this would be buster
world by far than it is. We trust our
friends will never fail to give him call
whenever he visits his native hills Long
may he wave-his shadow never be less,
and his enterprise meet a merited re-
ward.

CAvENDIsH. - Messrs. Sargent and
Amsden, two worthy and eaterpriaine
farmers, who occupy large rarm in the
north part of this town, recently lost a
a large nice fatting COW, in the following
somewhat singular manner; The COW
was tied up at night in long stable with
many Others, and was fed as usual. On
going to the barn in the morning the cow
was found lying dead in her stall She
was at once examined to ascertain, If pos:
sible, the cause Of her death. A large
piece of turnip was found in her mouth
but she wss not round to be choked
Upon rolling her over large breech was
discovered near the bag, which protruded
to the size of half bushel. Upon re.
moving the hide a part of the intestinos
rolled ont showiniug that she had burst !;
or as some express ii she had "explod-
ed" At all events she exploded"
the honest farmers out of $50, for which
we are all very sorry.
The weather has been very mild here
on the hills of Cavendish till lately, and
the mercury has not yet sank to zero, al
though the wind blows fierce and cold.
Upon looking at my weather record
I find that up TO Dec. IS, we have had
a fall of 22A inches of STOW in this town,
but all but n inches has departed.

SAN D2MINGo.-The Senate debate on
San Domingo shows that Senator Sumner
will oppose every proposition looking to
L. annexation. 1t was rRmorsd at one
time r-at he would not object TO the in

eaas "a sham and humbns." There IL,
howeses. no doubt that majority of
both houses gill vote for the investiga-

question of time. The President wants to
get q vote on annexation this winter
