Edward Eaton, the last member of the
ancient stock of Eatons, long associated
with the history of Casteton, was buried
last Friday. He had reached the age of
eighty-tllrec.
Colonel and Mrs. Parker returned last
week from their western trip, evidently in
the best health and spirits.
The regular monthly meeting of the Good
Samaritan society was held last Sabbath
evening in the Methodist church. Presi-
dent Cole opened the meeting by reading
the twentieth psalm. Prayer was offered
by Rev. l.. II. Stone, followed by singing
by Messrs. Cole and Armstrong and Mrs.
Sherman and Clark Remarks were offered
by L. II. Stone, b. w. Burt, Col Parker
and VI. III. Cook, and a select temperance
story was read by Rev. r. G. Williams.
The quartette above mentioned furnished
several pieces of good music, noticeably
well rendered.
The many friends of Miss Emma Lee, ar
fist in Photographic colorng, will be glad
to learn of the success which has attended
her during her vacation, which she is spend
ing in Vermont. She has received large
number of orders from our townspeople
and others, which she has executed to the
entire satisfaction of her patrons. Miss
Lee studied painting with James Hope,
and became a teacher in Casteton seminary.
She accompanied Miss Haskell to Month
cello, Illinois, in the same capacity, re-
naming there several years. At the urgent
solicitation of friends who knew of, and
justly estimated her genius, she relinqushed
teaching and went to New York, where
her success has surpassed the most sanguinc
hopes.
very remarkable bed spread in the pos
session of Mrs. Ellery, deserves little
newspaper notoriety, although no descrip-
ton can give any adequate idea of its
beauty and uniqueness. The blocks com
posing it are of white cloth, with designs
scwcd on, cut from coppcr-patc. The
work was done by an aunt of Mrs Ellerys,
and the fine stitching puts all the sewing
machine performances to the blush The
designs comprise almost every imaginable
figure, flowers in baskets, birds, animals,
children and trees in colors, which glow
with tropical gorgeousness. One remark
able piece is revolutionary courier on
horseback, announcing great events
through trumpet. The figures were cut
from the wonderful Chinese copper-platc,
from goods imported by the grandfather of
Mrs. Ellery, and are valuable for their
antiquity as well as for their beauty.
The sudden and peculiarly distressing
doath &C Moaoo q. Moves of Poultney,
comes to many of our citizens like per-
sonal aiiliction, inasmuch as his step
mother, brother and sister are now residing
in our village, and have gathered large
circle of warm friends. Mr.. Noyes was a
Mason, and as such, was prominent at the
funeral of Col, Philip Pond two weeks
since.
The death of Samuel NJ. Lapgdon. which
occurred last Friday evening, afflicts with
grief a large number of friends and rela-
tives His affectionatc disposition and
singularly gentle manners had formed for
him strong ties of attachment among his
own kindred, and during the past few
months he has become an object of warm
interest to many who had not the privilege
of knowing him intimately, whose SYM
pathies have been enlisted by his youthful
appearance and the unearthly beauty
stamped upon his face by the disease which
held him in its merciless grasp. W.
