The funeral of Thomas Macdonough
Brooks was attended on Wednesday at
the residence of Milton Brooks, q prayer
was made by Rev. Mr. Hooker, and from
thence the remains were taken to Brooks
vile, where very impressive and appro-
pirate sermon was preached by Mr.. Hooker
to a large gathering of old friends and &C.
quaintances of the deceased The body
was then carried ID the cemetery near New
Haven Mills, where his mother was buried.
Dlr. Brooks, through life of more than
sixty years. has been a very active and
Woodworking man. He commenced bust
ness when young with his father as an axe
maker, and by his skill, enterprise and per-
severence, established reputation which
resulted in the establishment of large and
prosperous business under the name and
firm of Brooks Il Brother. Mr. Brooks,
the subject of this notice, was made the ac-
tive travelling member of the firm on ac-
count of his age and experience, and prob
ably knew and was known by more men
than any man in the state of Vermont
His genial and social character made him
at once the friend of all classes of his fell
low men. He was decided and outspoken
advocate of I'll the reforms that were cal
culated to benefit and amellorate the con-
dtion of his fellow men. In politics he
kept himself well informed, so that he
could always act promptly and intelligently
the part of a freeman. In religion he was,
perhaps, more decided and active than most
of the profcssed followers of Christie
was naturally Christian man. While
he loved the Congregational church, to
which he was attached, he was always per-
fectly al home in the prayer circle among
all evangelical denominations of Chris
tians. His place is vacant and we feel sad.

genius displayed as is contained in the fol-

POLITICAL POSTAL CARD.
! postal card was recently dropped to the
office at Mlddlebury, bearing the address OF
Miss Mary L. stewart, Iowa. Here follows the
message
Dear May, I've long sought for the reason,
But can't understand for my life,
| why, among the events OF the season
You have not become somebody's wife;
For I'm sure you possess destinations
SUFFICIENT too turn to your side
From among llfe's diversified station
Some one who would make you bride.
No doubt you've had offers in plenty,
All of which you've seen III 10 refuse
| For the reason, that nineteen In twenty
Fall 80 far below meeting your views;
And It's better by all odds to tarry
A maid all the days OF your life,
1 Than some vagabond outcast to marry
And from thence live n heart-broken wife.
But forgive, dear, the freedom I've taken
| In thus thrusting upon you unsought,
What has seemed in my breast TO awaken
These few broken fragments OF thought;
And while hoping that happiness never
I May fail on your steps TO attend.
| Believe me henceforward, as ever,
sincerely and truly your friend,
AIM.
