81 ADDRESS OF JOEL G. BAKER.
The next exercise upon the pro-
! gramme was an historical address by
Henry Clark, but Mr.. Clark not being
present, the president called Joel G. Baker
to occupy the time allotted to the other
address, and Mr., Baker delivered his
torioai and biographical address upon
the life and services of Matthew Lyon,
in which he showed by extracts from
the public records of the town of Wal
lingford, that the same Matthew Lyon
who represented Vermont in Congress,
lived in Wallingford for several years
previous to December 25th, 1777, and
that he removed from Wallingford to
Arlington at about that time.
SUDDEN DEATH.
Immediately before this last address,
: Mr. Joseph Haskill, of East Walhns-
. ford, a ran "a years old, came upon the
stand and sang song "The building OF
\ Solomons Temple. He sang the first
few verses. with yigor for q man of his
age, but WAS apparently considerably
exhausted by the time he reached the
last verse; his voice was perceptfbly
more feeble, and though he acknow.
lodged by a bow the vociferous cheers
that greeted the close of his song, he
tottered from the platform and moved
4 slowly few rods. and sank to the eartl
/. and lived but few moments. Mr.
(. Haskill has often expressed his desire tt
die. without lingering sickness. Hi
wishes WEIR gratifed, and nearly his las
words were the song he sung from thu
platform. h, .s... i.
