Hon. Myron w. &. wright.

His many friends will regret to learn of
the death of Hon. Myron w. c. Wright,
of ShOreham, which took place at his resi-
dence at Richvlle, on Friday, August list.
Some two years since he was stricken with
partial paralysis, and his mental and ply
steal strength have been gradually failing,
and his death was not unexpected. Judge
Wright has been for many years one of the
prominent and foremost men of his town
and county, and was well known in the
state.
The Middlebury Register says of him, as
follows:
Naturally man of strong intellectual
power, with keen perceptive faculties and
sparkling hrmor which gave him rare So
cial qualities, he attached to himself num-
erous warm friends in this section and
throughout the State. He was a member
of the legislature from Shoreham in 1S47,
80 and 80, being regarded as one of the
strong men of that body. In 81 and 5She
was chosen assistant Judge of the county
court filling that position with marked
ability. His name adds another to the list
of those prominent and useful citizens, who
have fallen by death, whom the commune
ty can lily afford to spare.

the Long Island Oil Company would be in
volved in the conlagration. but, owing To
efforts of the fircmen, the fire was confined
to the sheds of the Standard Oil Company.
