EAST DORSET.
Mr.. Experience Barrows of Dorset, the
notice of whose marriage with Miss
Theresa G. Sexton, recently appeared in
THE GLOBE and who tills the broad
acres owned and occupied by his family
for three generations, was here the
18th inst and took from her fathers house
and from among us his estimable young
bride.
East Dorset is put down in some of the
railway guides as an unimportant station,
but 1t is a noticeable and suggestive fact
that those who are fortunate enough to
WOO and win here invariably wear a bloom
ing visage.
Widow Olive Deming died the 18th in
slant at the residence of her daughter,
relict of the late Marcus Roberts. Mrs.
Demlng had nearly reached her Goth birth
day.
Some mscreant ran a hand car upon the
railroad just north of j. r. Freddy &
Sons marble mill last Sunday night and
left it there, hoping, perhaps to throw the
next train off from the track, but only sue
ceeded in destroying the car.
The marble mill of Freddy Il Son is
now running night and day.
Miss Caroline Gale of Winhall who has
been for some time past at DR.. Marshs to
be treated for cancer, has just returned
home-her cancer having been successfully
removed and her health restored
| On the 18th inst, team belonging to
James O'Brien ran away in our village, but
did but little damage except TO trip up a
picket fence in front of one residence.
Mr.. p. d. Ames and family left here
nn fnr trit, 70 AoeI
and through Virginia. Mr. Ames has a
brother residing in Washington who is
clergyman and son-in-law of ex. Secretary
| Delano, and also other relatives and friends
living near that city. But it is guessed
that his trip means business as well as
pleasure.
The first number Of the Wallingford
Standard and Rutland County Advertiser
came safely to hand. 1t is quite a proper
child and no doubt has the right to life. lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness. If his
length of days corresponds to the length of
| HE name he will attain green
old age and may reasonably expect to at
tend the centennial of 1876 and, perhaps,
others. He hasn't the spirit of a martyr
and don't intend to take sides in the fierce
conflicts of life so as to get his handsome
face scratched. He don't intend to elbow
his seniors out of their places in city or
country, but SIMPLY to stand up in and fill,
not rattle around in, the unoccupied niche
of ''the usual line that girts him round"
His ''sole object is to pan out the perodi-
Gals of the day and treasure the gold dust.
Well, ''there is tide in the affairs of
men," and who knows but this lad may
take 1t sat its flood" He has little sight
among us. 1t is true one of our city news
papers has dwindled down from 100 sub
scribers to two, but we have plenty left
and choice public library of several hun
dred volumes and last, but not least, an
"organ' of our own. printing press-not
one of Hoes lightning presses to be sure,
but still veritable printing press.
| And now comes the properly constituted
committees, and through their head COM
mttee, Mrs. William II. Walker, authori-
tative proclamation make, that Ludlows
centenniary tea party will be duly held on
the evening of the ED inst, at Hammond
hall, where of all good and loyal citizens
are expected to govern themselves accord
ingly. 1t is perhaps entirely unnecessary
to observe that the selection of Mrs. VIM.
Ii. Walker for the responsible position of
principal manager, is one every way worthy
and eminently fit to be made" as it was.
To facilitate matters as much as possible,
and at the same time to interest as many
as possible, Mrs. W. has appointed COM
mittee consisting of gentleman and lady
| in every school district in town, whose
duty it will be 10 attend to everything con-
nected with the subject had IN view in each
of their respective localities. Thus in
augurated, we can sec no good reason
why the contemplated gathering should
| not prove an entire success. We under
stand that it is not the design of those hav-
| ing the management of the matter in this
| town, to exhaust themselves IN devisng
ways by which the last floating farthng
| in the form of scrip shall be captured, but
rather to get up an entertainment at once
| pleasing and useful, and at the same time
raising through easy and commendable
ways sum which would seem to he our
| quota compared with other towns IN the
state. OF course we are not in the entire
secrets of the committee in respect to what
will be placed upon the boards in the line
of entertainment and amusement on the
evening above mentioned, but it is entirely
safe to fully calculate on everything of
centennisry nature being dug up and placed
on exhibition. Then the supper, gotten
up on the most approved pattern of Eye"
olden times, will be another feature then
and there to be seen and participated in by
everyone who may have incinatons tend
ing in that direction. OF course there will
be the grotesqne promenade in all
| sorts of fantastic costumes, some
of which il would be nothing singular
If known to be considerable less than a
thousand years old. Still the whole matter
will show such an odor of mould about it
it will hardly be safe to wager anything Of
much value on the question. Should the
evening prove propitious there will be had
tip top time, and that, too, at so slight
expense that everybody can afford to at
tend and take with them even distant rela-
iions. One very close calculator has
already figured the thing so far
through, that he has fully satisfied
himself that it will actually be cheaper for
him to attend and take his entire family
along with him, than TO stay the same
length of time at home. We think it must
be very safe investment, judging from
the foregoing, for every one to put in a
good square appearance on Wednesday
evening, the 22d inst, and from what we
can learn, we judge such will be the case.
The supper at A. II. Green's of the
Ludlow house Wednesday evening last,
proved very enjoyable affair to those
who were fortunate enough to be present.
Some one hundred and twenty-five were
present, testitying thereby to their ap-
probation of Mr.. and Mrs. Green as mana
gers of the public house in this place. 1t
should be understood that this supper was
gotten up partly as an expression of the
public in reference to Mr.. G., az keeper
of the public house in this place and partly
as a benefit to him, now that business
of all kinds is so extreemly dull. The
reputation of Mr.. Green as a
first-class landlord is fully assured by all
who have had occasion to patronize his
house in this place. No better tables are
set between Burlington and Boston nor at
either of the places named after you get
there. On the occasion just named every
thing passed as pleasantly as the most fas-
