Mrs. Thomas Manley died in Chittenden,
Jan. 20lh at the age of "a years. She was
a daughter of Wolcott Baird, and men,
Der of the Wesleyan Methodist church.
Her disease was consumption, which in six
short months pr wed fatal. At very
early age, having improved The advantages
which the public schools Of Chittenden
and Brandon afforded, she became teach
err, and succeeded admirably in her chosen
vocation. Her death was that of the
Christian ready to depart and be with
Christ. She leaves an infant child, her
husband, and many friends, but their loss
is her gain. The funeral was attended
Saturday at her fathers residence. Rev.
Mr.. Ssco of Forestdale of1iciated, preach
ing very interesting and appropriate ser
mon.

Gov. W II. II. Bingham, of Stowe, was
in town Tuesday, although his visit was
purely of business character not poiti-
cal one, yet he had one application for
position upon bis staff as governors aid
next fall. The opinion is that the next
time be tries he will come out live gov
ernor.
Mr. Joseph Adams is but little, if any,
better. His many friends earnestly hope
he may still be spared. He has a strong
constitution though his age (73) is against
his giving his disease u very determined
battle.
| AS facts and relics for the centennial are
now the order of the day allow me to sug-
gest some facts. Hyde Wcstover of Castle
ton. now oyer so years DID, was a soldier
in the war of 1879. He was on duty in
Swanton. llighgaie and Sheldon, and sew
era times went on foraging expeditions to
| Saxes mills and other places in that vicini-
". He has often told me incidents con-
nected with his service have never seen
in print, and would make valuable addi-
lions to the history of the war of 1912. At
this day there can be but few surviving
soldiers of that war at he was only II
years of age.
AT the time Of the building of the Rutland
and Washington railroad, the ground where
once stood the old Castleton fort was used
for borrowing pit. In removing the dirt
many valuable relics were unearthed, some
of which think were taken by Mr.. Chas.
L. Prescott OF Troy, chief engineer of the
road some by S II. Langdon of Castle
ton others by Daniel Arms of Pittsfield.
Mr.. Prescott is dead his wife may have
preserved the relics and yet not known
what they are there are many facts con-
nected with the lives of Col. Lee and Lieut..
Hall yet in the minds of the living, that
have never been committed to paper that
would prove valuable and interesting, If
some one in Casteton would gather them
together. g. w. Mason, for years a neigh
Dor Of Lieut.. Hall, still lives and doubtless
can relate many facts given him by Lieut.
Hall. If we are to have new history of
the past, by all means let each one that can
point to any item do so. In that way full
history may be given to posterty.
Roofing slate are beginning to move to-
wards the depot again.
Rev. r. Hanger occupied the pulpit of
the Methodist church last Sabbath evening
Mr.. Clark, the pastor, being sick. s.
We would suggest to our Fairhaven cor
respondent, that all the incidents in the life
of Col. Lee and Lieut.. Hall are well pre-
pared, and will he found in the history OF
Castleton by Rev. Joseph Steele, which is
soon to be published in Miss Hemmenway',
Gazetteer. -ED.

In another column will be noticed tho
marriage of our well known townsman A
j. Sawyer. The movements of "Anson'
in respect to matrimonial affairs have beer
more or less shrouded in mystery for some
time past. The ''knowing ones" have hat
him about married for some considerable
length of time, but it would seem that
good many have ''Ieckoned without theii
host in his case, and were at last taken b,
entire surprise. We think the adage, "all'
well that ends well, singularly appropri
ate and applicable in this csse The brid,
ia remembered by not few of our citizens
as having resided in this place when {
{ young lady, and the recollection Of her il
that of an amiable, excellent young wo
, man, and from every source comes abun
dant evidence that mature years have no
only made Fgood the promise of early days
but largely added thereto We extend Il
both bride and groom, the sincere congrat
ulatiOns of their maDy friends in this vici
nifty, with the added WISH that ali thei
future may be unclouded, to the end o
lifes journey.
The disciples OF lsaak Walton in thi
region have had rare time of late, not
withstanding statutory prohibition, il
taking large numbers of pike and pickere
from the various ponds on Black river. 1
MIR. Hill of this village had the good for
tune to take tweniy-fOur in a single after
noon, averaging over two pounds each. A
other times he has caught several on
weighing III pounds, another 81, aud still
, another Y, But the largest ono we hav
heard of being taken was by Jnnn Parker
living about FIVE miles this side of Tyso
Furnace This we are informed weighed
, 1St pounds. Mr.. Parker captured it alive
, and had it on free exhibition four days
The last heard of it, it was on its way
with others, to the city of Notions.
One of the correspondents of your co
| temporary, who jots down newsy item
from this place, just now over the signatur
, of &C. presumed to be &c sharp" en-
ligbtens "our folks" with the astoundin
disclosure that one. Barney Tiereny, VIII
now regards himself as a well nigh 'uset
up man, certainly IN pecuniary point o
view, was at one time within five years
worth $4,000 Those having very goo,
opportunities of knowing whereof the,
, affirm, think that estimate would be neare
the fact, If cut in two in the middle
notice the independent papers of Lud
: low and Rutland stand indicted by thi
t writer for advocating state CT affair,
, whereby rum would be as free and plenty a
water. Now. if all this is susceptible
of demonstration, think TIE GLOBE an,
IIackett's Gazette had better subside Be
fore doing so, however, | wish to correct
small error in the communication allude,
J to, in reference to the amount realized b,
/ the Unlversalist society at it it's recent leye
in this place, that amount being $l60, in
stead of 1925, as communicated by G..
would also interest some to know how
many of the Nseyeral yearsn hara nanso.
