! noticed little error in the WEEKLY
GLOBE of May 10, giving notice of the
death of Ezra Wilson who died May 18th.
1t reads, Ezra Sherburne. Ezra Wilson
was born in Leominster, Mass. His father
moved to Putney in this state when Ezra
was five years old. Ihave heard the old |
gentleman tell the following incident He
being the Oldest Of three children, the
youngest an infant, they were short Of |
provision, and his father went some dis
lance to get some meal, and while gone |
there came on severe snow storm so that |
he could not return for several DAYS, and |
for five days his mother and the three chill |
drcn lived upon nothing but beech buds. |
He purchased farm in Sherburne GS years |
ago upon which he has always lived, and |
died on the same farm. lie was the Oldest |
person in town, and outlived all of his ia |
theirs family, and all of his own family ex-
cept one son who lives in one of the west
ern states. l.. nm.
MOUNT HOLLY.
An arbitration between w. d. Holden
and Ii. Holden, administrator of the estate
of Fitch Holden, came Off at the town hall
on Wednesday the 18th inst 1t seems that
W. d. Holden bid off the homestead for
merry occupied by his father, for twelve
thousand dollars, with an understanding
with the other heirs that he should be re-
imbursed if he paid more than the farm
was worth, as 1t was the wish of all that
! the farm be kept in the family. This they
subsequently refused to do. Hence the
arbitratIOn. Judge Prout of Rutland and
Judge Pingroy of Westhersfield acted as
arbitrator, ard Joel Ainsworth aud VIM.
II. Walker, as counsel for the plaintiff
and defendant, respectively. The result
was that the price Of the property was re-
duced to ten thousand dollars. This estate
has been one Of the largest, if not the
largest, ever settled in this town, with a
large number OF heirs, and this is the only
| difficulty they have encountered in its sei-
| Element. General opinion is perfectly satls-
fled by the award, although many consider
it too small.
Mount Holly has three postofIlcts and
three telegraph offices within it's limits:
with efforts to establish another of the
latter has eight vlles, viz. Mechanics,
| Tarbel, Goodell Bowl, Sleek, Horton,
ieald and Scamp. ard about as many
acres to The square mile, as any other
town mas LOGO inhabitants. 375 voters

The Baptist church is without pastor
at present. 1t seems to want q two thous-
and dollar man for five hundred dollars,
and IS likely to be disappointed. 1t is a
pity the Rev. Mr.. Deane can't be induced
to abbreviate his applications 80 as to suit
it, MS in our opinion he is equal to any they
have had since Mr.. Archibald left in 1865.

ARLINGTON
The car company have nearly completed
two more narrow gauge passenger cars for
some railroad near Chicago, Ill. They are
beauties to look at, and A No. in eyery
resdect. They are furnished with the new
Iron trucks, loose WHEELS, etc, Iof the Mil
umore patent, which is fast coming into fa.
vor with railroad men. These coaches,
Ike The centennial car finished at these
WORKS short time ago, are admired by all
VINO see them, and are well worth a call
and inspection.
Decoration day will be observed here as

EAST DORSET.
An now we have the privilege and pleas
ure OF itemzing the recent marriage of Mr..
Delmer Vail of Brandon, only son of /. J.
| van, also or Brandon, and Miss Marion
| cochran, youngest daughter Of Hon. Ira
| Cochran of this place. Everybody wishes
the happy pair a long life and merry one.
MIR. Vail was very fortunate in coming to
East Dorset, and in his choice after he got
here. Aud he was very liberal with the
| boys and so escaped the serenade OF the
echoins horn. Our boys can't ''wake to
estscy the living Tyre" but they can wake
from estacy any bridegroom that isn't de-
funct, Summer evenings latest sigh
that shuts the rose' don't quite disturb the
deep repose OF the honey moon like the
dulcet symphonies of their music. And
our brldegrooms generally "come right
down" like Crockett's coons, without wait
ing.
Some cold weather of late.
Monday night of this week freeze and
tuesday night frost. On Monday night
an attempt was made to burn the marble
mill OF the late Field marble company, but
before the fire had done much damage it
was seen and extingushed Tie tramp
seems to be the centennial scapegoat, but
whether this sin can be laid upon his head
is doubtful.
Also on the same day little son of Nit
chel Seymour was badly burned by run
ming against dipper of boiling water, and
is not expected to live.
1t appears that the 1000 pound OK has
arrived at the great centennial exposition.
Some OF the readers of the GLOBE doubt
less remember that we had larger one
near here only few years ago. Mr.. Rus
sci Dean of Factory Point raised him and
kept him I'll he died, and still has his hide !
