Col. Charlie. II. Joyce of Rutland. de-
liyered his historical address on the cold
Vermont Brigade, at this place on Satur-
day evening, April 4th, to an interested
and appreciativc audience. lie followed
through and narrated the experiences Of
the brigade from ITS organization in 1861
to the collapse of the rebellion in 1865
The regiments constituting this brigade
were the I'd, Sd, 4th, 9th and 9th, and the
annals Of war furnished few if any instan-
ccs Of devotion to duty and heroic exploits
as were furnished by this brigade. But
few Of the officers and men who first en-
listed in this brigade continued with it to
the cnd-thc ranks being constantly dcplc-
ted by sickness and the casualties of war,
but the authorities OF Vermont kept their
ranks constantly full, and the reputation
and prestige of the brigade sustained no
loss. Although at first salutcd by their
''West Point general rs I'd corn-stalk
militia their proves soon elected from
that same commander his earnest common
dation
Messrs. Rising and Nelson have complet-
ed their new store and will soon fill it with
stock Of seasonablc goods. \. L. Phin-
ncy has, within II few weeks, erected Il
grocery and provision store and meat mar
I keI. This is place OF growing import
ancc. and nothing seems lacking but CAPT
tai to make this a first-class business centre.
| The slate qualrics at present furnish con
siderable amount Of freight, and the bust
ness is susceptible of indefinite expansion
| The adjoining country Is studded with
cheese factOnes-one new one going INTO
operation on the farm of Asa Rinne, fouI
miles south. The adjoining town OF
Hebron, which corners here, maintains its
standing as the greatest potato growing
town in the country. 1t would seem that
the slaty loan of which most of the soil in
this town is composed would never veal
