The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-10-17

he was. full of business. lie held the vari-
Gus offices of Captain, Justice of the Peace
and High Sheriff. He also kept store
and tavern, the first that were opened in
the town. These establishments were not
ON very large scale for the house in which
they were first kept had only one room and
bed room. But this was only the begin
ming and greater things came afterwards.
For according to my Informant, Mrs. Mil
linda Chatterton, he subsequently built
frame house where he kept his store and |
tavern and had II painted and papered and
was pretty smart
In order to show what changes have |
come over US in q century, will relate one |
incident:
Mr.. Ives one day started out to 90 up to |
Mr. Richmond's, near the Elakim Ballou |
place, to carry home an iron wedge which |
he had borrowed few days before but |
having gone about half way, what should |
he encounter but huge panther, which, |
with glaring eyes, stood; only q few feet |
distant In the path before him. OF course,
the uppcrmost question in his mind was
what he should do. II occurred to
| him that contcnding with such
creature with only an iron wedge might be
rather serious business. But though
fighting might be dangerous, any attempt
to flee might not be adapted to better his
| situation. So making up his mind to stand
/ his ground he hurled his wedge with all
his strength al the creatures head which
| giving terrible scream dartcd off into the
forest. leaving the valiant captain in undis-
putablc possession of the path.

Rev. pr. Walker then made few Ir-
marks relative to the absence of his son,
Col. a. I. Walker Of Rutland, who had
been announced 10 speak but had excused
himself upon the plea that the time would
be sufficiently taken up BY others, and inn
portant business needed his attention at

Re-. iMoc. WoH.r:
Ny Dean Sir i have hoped until the
last, that | might be able 60 he present,
with my old neighbors and townsmcn, to
join in celebrating the hundrcdlh year of
= the history of Wallingford,my birth place,
hut now find quite impractcabc to do
so. My memory reaches back over more
than half that period, and links my life in
association with the men who first let the
sunlight into the forests of that goodly
town bu: who, long since, have rested
from their laboys And Of the bows of
my boyhood--how many have gone to
sleep in the quiet churchyard, the Gods
acre Of the village plot how many have
been scattered like winged hower.seeds to
to take root and grow and ripen in far
distant longitudcs; while of the few that
are left, and who will join in your festi-
val greetings, you will sec men hoary-
headed or bald with age, but, | tiust. not
sed and hcayy-hcarted, nor overburdcned
with cares or griofs, and, least of all.
With blamefulills, May the good Lord be
very g God to Ill these friends of my early
days, and help you all to keep in the ways
of qnieIneFs and peace, and of a good con.
: science.
J Wishing yoa all Il merry time and good
= time, send you ell kindly greetings, and
:, in memory Of AUD Lang Sync, am
Yours, very truly
