LUDLow.-For some reason we have
not been favored with as many lectures
as the people of many other towns. 1t
may be that the public taste has been
vitiated by dramatic and other exercises
of a sensational character, until that
which promises only to profit without
diverting, has lost its proper attraction.
Or it may be that we have failed of be-
ing provided with speakers because what
is everybody 'business is nobody's, and no
one takes the responsibility of leading.
But we are gratified to learn that the
Good Templars propose course of leo
lures, to begin with one from Rev. e.
Mills of Rutland, followed by other
speakers of ability. We bespeak for the
course generous patronage.
Many of our citizens were surprised
and grieved a few days ago on being in
formed of the death of Mr.. Hiland J.
Dodge, in Andover, of consumption, on
the 25th ult., as few if any had known
but that he in perfect health. Mr..
Dodge was the son of the late Judge Jo-
seph Dodge of Andover, and was twenty
five years of age. For about two years,
beginning in 1866, he was a resident of
Ludlow, being some portion of the time a
student in the academy and the remainder
pursuing legal studies under the direc-
ton of Sewall Fullam, Esq. AS stu
dent be was notable for the most scrupu-
lous exactness in performing all require
ments, clearness of conception and I'M
derstanding, and apsunusual power of
logical analysis. From Ludlow he re-
moved to Nashua, n. H, in the spring of
1868, entering the office of Barrett s.
Anterior. Here he manifested the same
mental qualities as in Ludlow. In the
fall of 1869 he entered the Law School at
Albany. We have no record of his pro-
gress except that he was graduated and
admitted to the Bar at the December
term of the Windsor County Court.
Thence he returned to his native town
with health impaired by too close applica-
ton, and as it proved, to die. MIR. Dodge
was young man of superior ability and
might well cherish expectations of unu-
sual success in his chosen profession.
While student hespracticed composition
to much greater extent than was required,
and had attained to very neat and forci-
BILE style which, by subsequent cultiva-
ton, he had improved until the produe-
tons of his pen would have done credit
to writer of much greater age and ex-
perienee. He displayed remarkable
facility of seeing through the clouds and
obscurities which misled others and of
coming at the real point of discussion.
His moral character was above reproach.
His many friends in this community
deeply sympathze with his mother in the
loss of the support and stay of her de-
clining years. CALVIN.
