Brattleboro, They make very fine APP
pearance in their neat uniforms and the
people who collected in the Square were
much entertained by their excellent
playing. In such band any place may
feel just pride, and they are doubtless
appreciated at Ludlow. They were under
the marshalship Of Il. +. Hathorn, so
well known in the old 18th VT.
"A tramp printer came into this
office Tuesday. He had come down
from Windsor foot on the New Hamp-
shire side. He well understood the new
tramp law of that state and did not
call at houses, living on berries on the
way down, but gives an incident which
amused him at least He was picking
berries by the way side, probably not
far from Claremont, and STOPPING down,
when man drove along which caused
him to rise up suddenly from the BUSH
es, whereupon the man instantly whip
ped up his horse to a 2,40 speed and
kept up the.same till out of sight, look
ing neither to the right nor left and
much less back. Tramp has no doubt
that he was taken for highway-man in
ambush. In the present state of things
these incidents may be expected.
The firm of Frost, Derby & Co.,
manufacturers of scythe snaths, having
sold out their business, the old firm name
passes into the business history of this
place, though the business itself is con-
tinued. This business has been carried
on here for some thirteen years, and al
most entirely under the administration
of Mr.. A. Derby, who has made it a sue
cess, giving it his time and very close
attention. He is now engaged in ano-

if his success in his new enterprise proves
equal to his former business it will be
well, and if greater, all the better.
Geo. Andrews is this week finishing up
one of the finest pieces of monumental
work ever done in this place 1t is a
monument for the late B. o. Woods of
Boston, the inventor of the novelty
printing press, and brother of Dr. o. F.
Woods of this place. 1t is an octagon
shaft, neatly paneled, and stands at a
height of IA feet, surmounted by an urn
partially covered with drapery, the whole
standing on a granite base of some Is

did piece of work, the cross and crown
being neatly wrought on rays, under
which is a scroll and figured work. On
each corner is column surmounted
with caps as of temple. 1t costs some
$500, and is a piece of work in all re-
spects, in which Mr.. Andrews may very
reasonably take much pride 1t may be
seen for few days at his shop, but
few steps in rear of the TIMES building.
= DIR. Van Dyck of Brooklyn, L. l.,
who has been a guest of Mr.. E. w. Ban
croft for few days, preached at the
Congregational Church last Sunday,
both morning and evening. The Dr. is

ers with his earnestness and wonderful
ability to bring them up to his own
grand conception of Divine truth. His
sermon in the morning upon the " knowl-

doubts conclusively. The Dr.'s com

Divine illumination of the soul. His
subject in the evening was the Gentle
ness of God manifested in his various
attributes, and was no exception to the
sermon in the morning in point of bril-

must be the heart that could not be
reached with such presentation of truth,
