Mrs. Veniah Brown of Poultney was
seriously injured during the past week by
falling down stairs We learn that her

comfortable, and hopes are entertained of

An auxiliary association of the Con-
necticut Valley Orphans Rolief Associa-
tion, was organized in this village, Aug.
10th, 1870, under the direction of Chaplain
D. A Mack, and much interest was mani
tested in the success of the undertaking.
Chaplain Mack seems to be the right man
in the right place, earnest and persever-
ing in the good work before him in secur-
ing a home for the homeless amongst us
especially for the orphans caused by our
late war. We cordially recomed him to
the sympathy and support of all who may
take any interest in the cause which he
is engagaed in (and may they not be few
till his object shall be attained. The fol-
lowing were the officers of the organiza-
ton Frederick Parmenter, President
A @. Randall, Mrs. A. @. Randall, Mrs.
Charles Griffith, Vice-Presidents Silas
f. Deane, Secretary. Among those who
were out and took e deep interest in the
meeting we noticed Hon. John Crowley,
W1n. and Phillip Lord, and many others
whom we have not space to mention. A
large number of directors were elected
from different parts of the town to aid in
the success of the work.
p. E. Chase's new store room for his
wares is about completed. We also notice
an improvement in the general appearance
of his shop which has of late been treated
to new coat of paint.
While on this subject we would remark
that there has been decided improvement
in the general appearance of other build
ings in the place. B. f. Stones and
Leander Derby's both look almost as good
as new. Still there is room, keep the ball
a moving. d. +. p.
