OBITUARY.

Died in Bushnell, H., Dec. 10, 1875
Mr.. j. d. Whittlesey, aged 70 years.
Mr.. Whittlesey resided in Piermont
n. H., from 1910 till 1913, and in Brad
ford, VT, from the latter date until 1852
since which time he has lived in New
Joroey ana IllinuIs. early III line ne en-.
tered upon the calling of public school
teacher, for which work he had excellen,
requirements and great enthusiasm, fol.
lowing it most of the time for 80 wears,
achieving success and establishing an
honorable record. With u liberal and
humane nature he was ever ready to as
sist in all retormatory work. In political
affairs, as well as in spiritual matters
he was always upon the progressive
side. AS husband, father and friend, he
filled each relationship faithfully and
well. For many years he attaentively
studied the Sacred Volume, and lead a
life of daily prayer; he did not live in
vain; he labored for the good of others
the world was made better bv him, his
lamp was trimmed and burning, and
the light thereof was seen from above.
With calmness he waited for the call,
"come up higher" and when it came he
was ready to obey. May those who sur
vive him be also ready to welcome the
invitation.

Changes have been in order
since the world began, and will con
tinue to be until the end of time.
The latest change is in the. man
aeement of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine business here. Mr.. Wilson,
who has so ably and efficiently con.
Quoted the business for the past
four months, goes up higher, (St.
Albans). We "hate to have him
co." because-well, if you know
him you know why.
The "Singer" business has in
creased wonderfully in the last year,
and why shouldn't it? 1t is beyond
doubt the best machine in the world,
but that is not the only reason, any
machine, or any business, uuder
such high toned and honorable man
agemant as that of Mr.. ID. N. Mich.
olson of Burlington, State manager
for the Singer Co., and his able
corps OF assistants, must win the
confidence of the people.
MIR. Terrill, who succeeds MIR. Will
son. comes to us well recO mmended
and we feel assured will conduct
the business in such manner as
will add to the already brilliant rep.
utatiOn of the Singer Manufacturing
Co., for honorable dealing with its
customers. We cheerfully recommend
him to the people of Oran &c county
and vicinity.

On Monday evening the 25th, a

the marriage of Charles w. Pierce,
Esq. and Miss Martha A. Howard.
Everything seemed in perfect keep
ing with the occasion, the weather
being most beautiful out doors which
with everything in the best of taste
indoors, made it one the most pleas.
ant gatherings we ever attended,
and everything passed as merry as
a "marriage BELL" till it was time
for us to depart, leaving the happy
pair, wishing them many "Merry
Christmas"
On Monday evening very pleas
ant gathering was held at the Town
House, where oysters and other re-
treshments were served up in most
excellent style, and music was fur
nished by the Orfordville band. At
the close of the entertainment a nice
Overcoat and a pair of mittens be.
