A Good Man Gone.

A letter Just received announces the death Of
Captain JosErH SorERBY, one Of the old and
highly-esteemed residents Of this town. lie died
at Lowell, Michigan, on the 81 instant, in the
18th year Of his age. Two years ago the present
month Mr.. Somerby and family LEFT this place for
residence in the West. Only month before
leaving. he and his wife, Soma PERRIN, who sur
wives him, celebrated their golden wedding, from
published account Of which we take the following

God and all mankind why should not the accumulation
Of years rest lightly upon him. and his old age be
crowned with the reflected glory Of the setting SUM-
Mr. Somerby was born in Newburyport Mass.
Nov 0, 1897, and came TO Montpelier, we be-
lieye, prior to his marriage. During the two
generations since, he has been most familiarity
known and universally respected by our people.
Though characterized by a placid temper, gen
ial, kindly heart, and an unysrying overflow Of
good spirits, he was, nevertheless, firm as the
hills in his principles. Among the earliest to
espouse the anti-slayery cause, he was one Of the
five who first brought their principles to the bal
lot-box in Montpelier, in 1889, we believe and
thereafter he knew no shadow Of turning. We
doubt IL mlre than one Of the number survive

wife, removed his relation to the church in

mOnstrated against his removal to a new climate
at bis advanced age, as the change generally

his death was thus FASTENED, still how many Of

tender interest to the obituary notices of Dea.
Storrs and Father Bancroft, who had just proceed

| During the late Summer and Fall Mr.. Somerby
had suffered severely from the ague. from which
he never fully recovered but the immediate
cause Of his death was an affection of the heart
and kidneys.

Messrs. Editors Allow me to Justify my.
self through your columns, in regard to al.
evil report that has been going the round. ii.
Montpelier, since the sad affair. Of Deacon Bos
worth occurred 1t has been reported as com
ing from Deacon s. H. o. Bosworth that Dea-
con z. +. Andrews, Of Rerlin, together will
a brother of his, had said to Mr.. b. at the time
of the accident with his SOW, that the meat OF
said SOW was all right, and that they also advised
him to sell the same for eating purposes. That
such report is quite common in your village there
can be no mistake, and if said report originated
from Deacon Bosworth, would like to ask m,
brother by what authority he took my cloak to
cover bis sin? But IL be is not guilty of thi,
additional sin, lie stands acquitted. To justify
myself, these are the facts in the case, which |
call upon God to witness, that for several days
previous TO the illness of BJsworths SOW, up to
the time of his trial, had no occasion to speak
to said Bosworth upon any subject whatever, and
until after the SOW was butchered, | knew moth.
ing Of the affair and never saw the meat at all.
On the day of his trial, after adjournment, he
came to me for sympathy and aid in regard t.
settling with certain individual to whom he
had sold meat, and, instead of justfying him in
the sale Of his meat, as q Christian brother, ]
most sharply rebuked him for his great wrong
and expressed myself fully in regard to the mag
nitude Of the crime, which MIR Bosworth will
not deny. And only for the fact that a man.
character is about the only true element Of hi
nature, SHOULD have taken notice Of the evil
report in crcnlstion, and, thinking though
might have but aspark remaining in consequence
of such report, yet | thought it worth blowing
into life Most respectfully yours,

wolcott Versus Hardwlck.

MEssRs EDITORS The lIardwick Reporter Of
the goth ult., contains report by D. W. T."
Of the proceedings at the Railroad meeting held
at W olcott, March 22l, in which he states " n
tods freely remarked BY prominent gentlemen Of
the Black RiUer, ioho were men Of good judgment,
that Il rould cost more TO grade a road from VOL
colt 10 Albany, than Il Uouid the whole disfdHo,
from Hardleick 10 Nagport.' Now, Messrs
Editors, let us look and see what kind of a road
these prominent gentlemen would have
First, let US calculate on the cost of the road
from Wolcott to Albany, say the distance TO be
fifteen (l5) mil :, at $4,000, per mile, would be
sl95 900. From Hardw lex to Newport, distance
Of thrty-nlne 1897 miles, at $1,000 per mile
would be sl95 900 Now, if these " men oil
good judgment " can find contractor to 4" build
and equiv" the road from Hardwick to Newport
at $1,000 per mile, with the present price oil
iron), think, Messrs. Editors Montpelier had
better lend hand and aid the enterprise. Now,
let us turn our attention to the route from Mont
pelier to the Lamoille Valley
1t is claimed that the tangent and level line be-
tween two points is the best for the con pleted
road but this is not always practicable Way
towns must be accommodated, but not to length
en- the road unless the traffic and capital furnish
ed by such towns is sufficient to pay for the con
struction and maintenance Of the extra len 9Th
and also to carry the through traffic over the in.
creased length. viii the town of Hardwick dc
this It will cost US some eight 10y miles NOR
to Newport ria East Montpelier, and some four
(4) miles more ria the witham route, than by
the Eagle Ledge or Wolcott route while by the
last mentioned route, we can accommodate wor-
cester on level with the village, and reach the
Eagle Lodge with a maximum grade Of rs feet to
the mile; while Wolcott on the other side will
be reached by the same grade per mile, with a
slight exception c.

Grand Army of the Republic of Vermont
HsADouARrrRs DEPARTMENT or VERMONT, I
GRAND Army OF THs REPUBLIC. s
RUTLAND, VI, April 9th, 1872
SIR The Grand Army Of the Republic in this
Department are DESTROYS Of securing for every sol
dier's grave, the Both Of May next, that hjwery
tribute which it is the peculiar mission Of the
order to bestow. To that end, as well a. to adj
vance the other objects of the organization, the
late soldiers Of Vermont are urged 10 form Posts,
in localities where none exist. Doubtless many
are deferred from doing, by the feeling that the
q. A. II. lisa political organization, or that it is
used for partlzan purposes. Nothing can he fur
ther from the truth, for politics are forbidden by
regulation and o0ndemne dby repeated resolutions
Of National epd Department Enca 'upments, and
the membership IL composed Of men Of all parties,
united in a common cause.
The order is built upon a desire t0 cherish that
Fraternity of feeling and interest that can only
subsist between those who together have " worn
the blue /" q resolution 10 extend needed Charity
to the worthy returned soldier, and 10 the families
which our dead comrades have left TO our care and
protection and iirm purpose ~ inculcate and
maintain that Loyalty to flag and country, which
to greater or less degree animated those WIN
fought In the nations defense
Experience has taught thar these objects can be
better attained by united than by Individual e.
| fort.
The Department is now Thoroughly organized,
the dues triing, and IL is believed that rs the
ohjectsfor which the order battles are understood
and appreciated the veteran soldiers Of our Green
Mountain State will once more :" Rally round
the Flag"
All that is required to secure the formation Of
Post, is to forward an application therefor, sign
ed by ten honorably discharged soldiers, with the
charter fee 10 these Headquarters
Your early attention is respectfully invited Il
the matter, with the hope that you will add Il
your services as soldier an equally worthy ser.
vice asa citizen by joining this society ofyoul
comrades in arms.

SAD DEFALcATios. The Burlington Free Press
of this morning confirms painful rumor, which
has been current a day or two, that Gen. GEORGE
j. STAsNARD, Collector Of Customs for Vermont,
is defaulter to the government, and has resigned
his position Tho Free Press says " We under
stand his coin account with the government, for
customs, to be square but in the account for
fees and perquisies, which is required to be set
tied annually, balance Of $4,000 appeared
against him ON a recent settlement, which he was
unable to make good. An agent Of the Treasury
Department came on, last Friday or Saturday, to
investigate the matter and the result is the dis
closure Of the deficit the holding of his bonds
men for the amount, and the resignation of Gen
Stsnnard, who has also gone into bankruptcy to
secure his bondsmen with what property he has,
as far as it will go. The government will lose
nothing, as his bondsmen are amply able to make
good the loss, and will do 80 at once

DR. CoLLYEh's LEcTURK.-The lecture of Rev.
DR.. Colyer on Thursday evening, on the subject
Of " Clear Grit, J." attracted large audience, the
undivided attention Of which the gifted lecturer
held to the close Very many of his hits were
appreciated by the audience, as was evinced by
the applause which repeatedly greeted him. No
lecture Of the course we think has given better
satisfaction, and we trust wa shall soon have the
pleasure Of hearing him again.
