LUDLOW.
If there is any one thing for which
sane person should be thankful, it is the
possession of a comfortable degree of
health. The variable weather which has
characterized the present season thus far
has been promotive of anything but so de-
sirable result.
Among others, your not very efficient
correspondent has been laid up for repairs,
which will account for any seeming neglect
of duty in this particular time. Even now
he is obliged to keep his room as precau-
tionary measure lest a worse thing, pre-
adventure, might como. of premature e1-
posure. One James Pollard. farmer liv-
ing on what is known as north hill, has had
a very serious time for some days past, the
immediate cause of his unenvIable con-
dition, being the formation of an abseess
at the very roots of his tongue. Mr.. Pol
lard, was soldier in the late war, and re-
ceived bad wound extending along the
side of his face in close proximity to the
point where the abscess seemed to be bur-
rowing, and the attending physician thought
it not at all improbable that this wound
might have had something to do with the
locating of the abscess in this instance.
The danger in the case was that the throat
would become completely filled up by the
unavoidable swelling before it could be
lanced, if the location would permit of the
operation, or come TO a head and discharge
itself. Happily the worst has passed in
this case, the sbscess having matured and
discharged itself without surgical opera
ton. Jim" would prefer to have the next
visitant of this sort, if he must have rep
itition, locate under the pit of either of his
thar tlo, -,
arce at the roots of his tongue.
Mr.. Orlando Clark, long time resident
of this village, we regret to learn is in a
precarious state of health at the present
time. Mr.. Clark will be remembered by
the more aged of your readers in Rutland,
as having formerly lived and carried ON
the tailoring business there. He removed
direct frsm Rutland to this place, between
forty-one and forty-two years ago. Before
removing to Rutland he resided in North
ampton, Mass, where, if we are not mis-
taken, he carried on the same business.
Mr.. c. has always been what may be called
natural born pollution until comparative
ly limited period, he has been what 1
should call thorough going Jeffersonian-
Jackson Democrat. The writer can readily
remember when almost all his disputes on
political matters we're referred to Orlando
Clark for final arbitrament, nor was the Sc
lection lily made, more especially at the
time have in mind, twenty-five to thirty
years ago. For great many years, say
until the dawn of the era of ready made
thrown-together clothing, Mr. Clark gave
employment to several, mostly young wo-
men learning the trade as a means of pro-
curing livelihood, and as smart girls as
over ''trod shoe leather" in this or any
other town, have been known IS the en-
ployes in o. Clark's tailoring establishment
Mr.. G. has always given a good deal at
tention to gardening, generally having as
early products as the next man. When
what is called current worms first made
their appearance, it was almost constant
specticle to see the subject of these re-
marks moving around among his thrifty,
well set bushes, pearing with his naturally
keen eye, for the worm that dared not show
itself when he was on duty. whole days
and even weeks, l have not doubt he
spent in this manner. On going into his
garden and seeing nothing to indicate the
ravages OF the worm, one was almost sure
to make the remark that the pesky worms
worms spared his bushes if they did not
those of anybody else. The reply would
usually be, look here, and pointing to the
ground Deneatn ana nara by the Dusnes, II
would be found to be literally green with
the worms he had picked from his bushes
and after pinching their heads deposited on
the ground. Should his illness prove of SO
serious nature that his weakened system
cannot longer successfully resist, some.
what marked person will be missed by those
who have known him at least intimately for
the bigger part of almost a half century.
+ We learn that Mr.. c. has attained to the
age of ~ years.
We have to announce among the changes
of ownership, that NJ. II. Edison, furniture
dealer in this place, has disposed of his
stock in trade to w. J. Hall and G. II.
Howard, one OF Charlestown and the other
of Walpole n. IL. MIR. Edson's health is
not sufficient to bear the confinement nee
essary to successfully carry on the bust
ness. A model of a gentleman in every
sense of the word, he will be greatly missed
by those who have heretofore had occasion
to patronize him. We rejoice that he has
no intentions of leaving the place, certain
ly not for the present, and we hope not at
