Change of BASE at the Brandon
House.

The well-known and popular hostere at
Brandon, known as the ''Brandon house"
has been leased by Mr.. Wyman H. Merritt
and Demar ]. Vail, who take possession
to-day. The former landlord, Riley Dem
ing, has sold out his interest and we UNI
derstand goes TO Lancaster, Mass, where
he will have charge of summer hotel.
The new landlords are men well known
in Brandon and throughout this section.
Mr. Merritt is the son of Col. Ii. II. Mer-
rift of Brandon, and has won an enviabe
reputation as hotel man in many towns
and cities of New England. He COM
menced at Brandon eleven years ago as
clerk at the Brandon house, since which
time he has been for some time the chief
clerk at the Weldon house, st. Adams, and
as steward, clerk and manager of many of
the best hotels in New England. He
comes back to Brandon with valuable ex-
perience as landlord, and cannot tail to
please the public at large. The Brandon
house ia known as one of the best hotels
on the line of the road, under the old re-
ginae, and Its present reputation will be
sustained, If not increased under the pres
ent management.
Mr.. Vail is a son of Isaac j. Vail of
Brandon, and has many rare qualifications
for the business which he now enters upon.
We wish the new firm the best of success,
and are confident they will merit the
patronage OF the entire travelling public by
a thorough attention to their business in
all its requirements.

Three persons died 10 Cavendish, on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of last

and their funerals were attended on Sum-

ed by Rev. George S. Guernsey of Roches-

Wednesday afternoon, Roger Wing of
Middle Granville, while helping 9. Rasey
to saw cord wood with one of Gray's horse
powers and circular saw, stepped upon
the saw table to arrange something, when
the saw nearly severed the foot, causing
very bad wound which will confine him to
the house for quite awhile.
A little stranger having come TO Gran
vile about week ago, ii was found on n
visit being made by charitable persons, that
no one had been there to take care OF the
mother and child. The poor mother was
too weak to get up, while the little babe
had not been washed since its birth, and
had only an old shawl to cover it. A full
suit of clothes has been procured, and it is
hoped that they will now be well taken
care of. 1t is hard to account for the hus-
bands not asking some one of the many
kind-hearted ladies of the neighborhood to
come and help him.
The travelling public will be pleased to
learn that Z. j. Brown has again taken
possession of the Central House, Granville,
N. Y, and will hereafter conduct it, Mr.
Brown will thoroughly renovate the house
and put it in the best possible condition
for the coming summer, and it will be kept
in the same manner as when he was land
lord previously. Oscar Marsh will act as
clerk. The Mettowee driving park con-
nected with the house will also be consid-
erably improved before the racing season
where sporting men may ex-
pect to see some good races come off on
this favorite track.

AS the people were leaving the ice, the
driver of the trotting horse BLANK, with
two in the cutter with him, undertook to

moraized sleigh. Blank made for the
shore, and got well up into the city before
he was stopped.
