The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1875-04-20

The father and mother of Gov. Kellogg
OF Louisiana, were natives Of Castleton.
His mother was an Eaton, and, fifty years
ago, the Kelloggs and Eatons were numer-
Gus in this town, but at this day, the
names are hardly known here. 1t was and
is the same with the Reads.
A lady who left here for Colorado,
few months since, wrote in her last letter
that she had received on that dav three
letters frym Castleton, one from Middle
bury, and the two Rutland papers. Doubt
less she felt that they conveyed good news
enough for one day from friends at home.
One OF our village men, on leaving his
home for business, last Monday morning,
was inormed by the woman of the house
that she wanted gallon of kerosene oil,
two cakes of Rabbit soap, two or three
dozen clothes pins, q quart of milk, and
box of bluing and she further said that
the flour barrel was about as empty thing
as there is in the house, but he could trot
that home in the evening. He sighed and
said go for lodge in some vast wilder
ness"
Quite a sensation was created around
here not long ago, by the report that Julius
Lura, a hired man of Edward Jones, who
resides about half way between here and
Poutney, had been instantly killed by n
falling tree in the woods. Two young men
living mile or two from Jones went to
see him, expecting to find him laid out !;
they approached the door of the house
tremblingly and gave the signal for admis-
sion, when, to their surprise, Mr.. Lura APP
pcared to them alive and well, with pipe
in his mouth enjoying good lusty smoke.
They say their feelings can be better
imagined than described. Lura relished
the joke hugely.
The hulled corn and milk cart, the We
locipede, the marbles, the croquet and the
base ball, are abroad in the town again. in
dicaiing that the winter is over and gone,
and that spring has come, although the
snow drifts in the dooryard are from two
to four feet deep.
Nearly every family in the village has or
ganized into spelling class, and are at it
morning, noon and night, The fever is
running high among all classes, and such
veterans as the following are in for the
campaign next Wednesday night Rev.
H. G. Higley, Rev. U. Maynard, Rev. l..
III. Stone, Rev. d. Il. Knapin, a. Loveand
and NJ. II. Cook.
Altogether the finest, richest and rarest
entertainment of the season, in Castleton,
was the artistic rendering of the reading
by MIR. Frank Bradford of Bennington, at
Town hall, last Tuesday evening. He won
golden opinions for himself, and many en-
terrain the hope that he may be seen and
heard again in Castleton at some future
time not far distant. POSTER.
