precincts. In addition to many Offices
held both in town and county, he was
judge of the probate court Tor the dis.

consecutive years, and at the close Of his
judicial career was probably better versed
and more familiar with probate law, than

W. II. Iolley, Esq, must be acknowl.
edged as a representative man in the mer.

T. G. Smith of Monkton said to me that
himself and the late Mr.. Fordyce Hun.
tineton Of Vergennes, and Mr.. Holley
constituted a trio Of the Oldest merchants
in Addison County, claiming that he com.
menced the business Of selling goods a
little earlier than either named. After
his death, Mr. Huntington claimed to
stand next in priority. Since his death
Mr.. Holey stands eminently the old.
est merchant in the county, if not in the
state. Commencing a mercantile life in
1919 he has continued the business of a
merchant every consecutive year, and
continuously until this day, at the old

Holley is emphatically mercantile

Bristol and its Elephants.

EDITORS REGISTER, Having heretofore
at various times attempted to describe
Philadelphia and environs, its points OIL
local general and historic interest through
the columns of the REGISTER, it may moi
be inappropriate to attempt a succint de.
scription of Bristol and its points of local
if not historical Interest through the same
medium. 1t may not be generally recol.
lected or known, that this town was orig.
inally chartered by New Hampshire, by
the BOT very euphonic name of "Pocock .
and not until the year 1889 was it
changed to its present name. 1t was or.
iginally settled by natives of Connecticut
and Massachusetts,, of the true and genu.
inc purtanic stock,
The first inhabitant of which there is
any tradition, was John Broadt, who re.
sided here twelve years previous to 1885,
and led sort Of hermit life very nearly
secluded from any traces Of civilization
nearly as much so as did Alexander Sci.

it was alleged that in one OF the central
counties Of New York during violent
alteration with a neighbor 10 relation to
disputed boundary line of their respec.
tive farms, he killed his antagonist and
fled fearing an arrest and consequent ju.
dicial trial for murder, and located in
what was then an unbroken wilderness,
where no accent of the human voice had
probably ever been whispered through
the dense forest, within the limits Of the
township, during his residence here, un.
less it were the incoherent jabbering of
the untamed Indian ;-and no sounds at
his humble hearth stone could have greet.
ed his ear unless it we're the roaring of
the winds among the tree.tops, the bel.
lowing thunder, and the pattering rain
drops, aud perhaps superajded to this, the
occasional growl Of bruin, the scream of
the panther, or the howl of the WOLF
and the sbrill notes of the screech owl,
and the cries Of other birds of the night.

there was a small settlement during some
part OF his stay here, on New Haven riv.

since told me that when small boy, he
recollected Broad; coming to his fathers
house ON New Haven river, dressed in
in wolf skins, and cap of same, carrying
a gun and attended by dog gray with

The undersigned, pursuant to a request made b,
a meeting of the members and pew holders Of the
congregation over which the Rev G.. ". = Por.
ter was appointed, attended the recent investiga.
ton of his case at Dandy and state as follows:
The evidence on the part Of the prosecution
consisted almost entirely of the testimony Of the
female implicated. There were no letters ne has
been stated but scraps or bits of paper on which
was tho Objectionable writing. That they were in
the hand writing of the accused we think unprov-
ed. They We're without date or signature. Their
force depended mainly and we may say entirely
ON the testimony Of the witness named We re-
gard the testimony of this witness ILLEGAL being
assured by good authority that it would not be
allowed in "A civil court. 1t was strongly and
persstently objected to by the counsel for the de-
Tense, but to no purpose. II may be set aside at
conference.
On the part Of the defense there appeared the
following:
LIST: The full and complete impeachment Of the
principal witness
I'd. The good character of the accused
50. His averment of his innocence and positive
denial of every particular alleged against him.
Attn. DISPOSITIONS taken at Weybridge to set
forth that the chief witness on leaving that place
declared that Mr.. Porter was innocent of any
wrong towards her. We understand that she did
this unasked and uninauenced.

was at times much afflicted witch hysteria II an
peared also in evidence from two medical men that
this disease affects T. @ nervous system and the
mind, inducing sometimes demented state which

Rev. Watson has been several times at Mr. Pemb-
ers, tho residence of this young lady witness 1t
appeared in evidence that Rev. 5. Washburne
went to Dandy the day before the investigation
and examined her, and at the investigation he
examined her from questions in manuscript. We
were disappointed at the finding Of the committee;
our own honest verdict was acquittal

Fruit Trees.

EDITORS REGISTER Il am credibly in.
formed that parties who are capvassing
in this town and county, selling trees and
nursery stock for a nursery in Rochester,
N. Y, have represented that my trees
were procured from the same nursery,
and that their trees are safe from the at.
tacks of the borer. Both statements are
false. | never procured any trees from
Rochester, being convinced that trees from
that place are not so likely to succeed
in this location as those from other places,
and | also say that my own experience,
as well as of all the older fruit growers
proves that no kind of apple trees is ex.
empt from the attacks Of the borer, and
he who represents to the contrary is
guilty of deception. So long as we have
reliable parties among us who will fur.
nish such trees as we want, | shall not
be deceived by the representation of
strangers, who show bea utiiul pictures of
varieties that may be as little suited to
our climate as figs or oranges.
