The pioneer centennial celebration, Ju.

four miles up the river from the village,
where the first clearing was made by
John Chapman, in behalf the chartered
proprictors Of the town, in 17G6. A large
gathering was had and exercises Of appro.
pirate aud Interesting character enjoyed,
which were subsequently, printed. 1t was

as their occupations permitted, entered
warmly into the design. Rev. Mr.. Hook.
err anticipated the time of his monthly
biographical lecture on Sunday evening,
to give it on the evening of December
2lst, the subject being the distinguished
President Dwight of Yale College, whose
counsels in 1898 were associated with
those which then projected here the es.
tabishmcnt of Middlebury College. This
lecture was given and made suitable in a
high degree to the day and its relations
The chairman Of the committee entered
with characteristic zeal into the duty OF
procuring speakers for the occasion, fol
which Nessrs. Stewart and Slade fortu
nately were at once secured. The letters
below were received from gentlemen, who
with more or less ground of encourage
ment, had been looked to for additions
assistance. A committee of citizens wal
designated for the necessary arrange
ments, which were literally made, Mr.
Fl. i. Sheldon being assigned to the duty
of preparing the department of relics anC
