| j. R. Brevoort, Professor of Perspec-
tive in the National Academy of Design
of New York city with Mr.. Dabb, Mrs.
| Bascomb, who received the frat prize
silver medal from the Academy of Design
last year, and Mrs. Culver, amateur, as
pupils, have been prospecting, penciling,
sket ching and painting some of the pic
turesque scenery amid our hills and val
leys during the last six weeks. The prin-
cipal specimen of their artistic skill taken
while here were Killington and Pico with
the chain of mountains between these two
points in the distance Bird Mountain
and it's environs, being a life-like repre-
sentation of this old familiar peak, that
rears itself above all others in this vicin-
ity; Whittak Hill, lately known as Har'
ris Hill, and it's surroundings of valley.
stream, and forest with other points OF in
terest that could be designated, did time
and space permit. Prof. Brevoort previ-
GUS to visiting Castleton, spent few
weeks at the seaside. Among his
cester Half Moon Cove; Old Stage Fort !;
Gloucester Harbor, and others in the
same vicinity, together with pencil draw
ings at and around Keene, n. Fl. The
above named works are truly meritorious,
and demonstrate the fact that the Profess
sor is master of the art he represents. His
pupils are skillful with the pencil and
brush as applied to the paper and the
canvas while in Castleton.
The old people of our town are pass
ing away one after another in rapid sue
cession, and conveyed to their last long
home in the village cemetery. Two of
them departed this life last week. The
first was Mr.. Elan Moore, whose age was
IS years. He moved into town from
Connecticut in the year 1910, since which
time he has been a constant humble and
respected inhabitant of the place. In the
year 1918 Mr.. Moore met with a fearful
accident caused by the premature dis
charge of gun, on the occasion of the
raising of the Medical College
building, depriving him of an arm,
and the remaining hand all but
the thumb and index finger. Under
such difficulties for more than fifty years
he accomplished a great amount of labor
of almost all kinds, patiently and cheer
fully as one could under the burden of
such a great affection. His funeral was
attended from the residence of his son
st Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Moore
had manifested an earnest desire to re-
in the war of 1912, it came to hand the
the day following his death. The second
death was Mr.. Samuel Woodward. His
age, as announced in the HERALD last
Thursday, was rs years He took up his
residence in Castleton abont 45 years ago, |
and was always a worthy citizen of the
town, having held the offices of constable
aud tax collector many years and proved f.
himself true to their trust and honest to
a hair. His familiar face and voice will
be missed in many circles. He was
brother of the late Theodore Woodward, |
NJ. D., and the late J. d. Woodward, M /
D, and uncle of A. T. Wood ward, NJ. D., /
of Brandon. His brother George survives |
him and has reached the ripe old age of
years or more. The funeral OF
Mr.. Wood ward was attended by large
at the Advent Church last
Thursday morning. Rev. J. Phillips, of
the Methodist church, preached an i'm
pressjve and valuable discourse. Mr.. w.
had been consistent member Of this
church for a long time. The pail bearers
were J. N. Northrop, M. D., Dyer Bah
bett, Harry Armstrong and Harry Like.
Mr. Moore and Mr. Woodward had suf-
Tered about two years from the terrible
effects of olnoer on the lip. They were
taken about the same time, their snffsr-
ngs nearly similar, and their delths aad
ourials were 1ot more than twenty four
hours apart. Thus are we moving on to
that bourne from whence no traveller
returns" Il. WI.
