The Fletcher Family.

The descendants of Robert Fletcher, of
England, who came to New England in
1880, held their first family reunion August
Both, at Lowell, Mass, the site of which
city was originally owned by son Of
Robert Fletcher, a portion of whose land
is still, after 200 years, owned by his des-
cendauts. Two hundred members of the
family, from the New England states and
from Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon and
other states, were present. An historical
address was delivered by E. II. Fletcher of
Chicago, sketching the history of the
various branches of the family. During
the meeting the following telegram was
read by the President:

a Prehistoric Race in the Champlain
Valley,

Fragments of pottery, made by a race
that inhabited the Champlain valley prior
to the Indians, have been unearthed. Mr..
G. II. Perkins of Burlington, Vermont, read
paper on the pottery of this race at the
recent meeting of the Social Science con-
vention IN Buffalo. The following alb
strsct of his paper appears in the reports
of the association in tha daily papers:
"Perhaps no more than six or seven CON-
pete Jars of prehistoric origin have been
unearlhed and preserved, though many
more have been found and then, from sheer
ignorance. destroyed. Still it Is plain that
the ancicat inhabitants of Vermont had
used much earthenware, and that some of
it was quite elaborate, although uniformly
free from pictures of living objects. The
material employed is mostly soft and un-
enduring, clay mixed with quartz, with
feldspar, and sometimes with numerous
scales of mica; its color ia dark red, brown
or black. The ornaments were usually
placed on a fiat surface, aud rectangular.
The size is very slight, and no jar contains
more than twenty quarts its thickness
ranges from two to five inches. Most of
this pottery occurs along Lake Champlan
and in Essex county. Pots of steatite or
any other stone are very rarely found in
Vermont, although they are not entirely
wanting. Yet these have little ornament,
except one which is adorned with parallel
dashes, thus ==. These relics
form a slight, though not unimportant,
part of the utensils used by the race that
preceded the Indian inhabitants of YER
mont and north America"

The Close Of the Campaign in Ibid
dlebury.


The democrats of Middebury having
made a very creiitable demonstration on
Thursday evening Of last week, their re-
publican brethren determined TO Guido
them, and accordingly made the most ex-
tensive preparations for final rally on
Monday night.
Eary in the evening the people Assem-.
| blei in vast numbers from all the surround.
ing towns. and with the residents of the
village, filled the park near the Addison
house and the adjoining streets. From a
stand in the park the Middlebury cornet
band discoursed such music as fitted the
occasion, and eloquent addresses were
made by Ex-Gov. j. w. Stewart and Ex-
Congressman +. Z. Woodbridge.
Alter the speeches the immense process
sio was formed under the direction of the
chief marshal, Col. A. S. Tracy, assisted
by he following aids l. NJ. Trip, L. d.
Eldred3e, It. NJ Chapman, f. A. Bond
and Henry X. Harris.
The van was led by an old.fashloned
drum and fife corps under Harry G. Lang.
wothy. Next came torch bearers on foot.
whose numbers are variously estimated,
but who must have reached nearly three
hundred. They were under the charge OF
Capt Henry Maynard of East Middlebury,
AID II. X. Harris was detailed a. marshal
for that part of the procession. Following
the pedestrians came large wagon con-
tanning the Middlebury cornet band, and
next in order were horse companies from
various towns, as follows: Shoreham, Capt.
Frank Moore; Cornwall, Captain Will
liam Delong, Lieutenant Harvey E.
Taylor; Weybridge, Capt Geo. Childs {;
New Haven, Capt. VIM. p. Nash; Middle
bury, Capt, w. w. Dewey. The rear of
the procession was brought up by long
line OF carriages, containing the speakers
and numerous citizens. Besides torches.
there were borne in the procession flags,
transpaTencies, notices, and humorous and
sentimental devices. All along the route
| oil the procession the streets were tbronped
with people, and ia estimated that above
hve thousand persons were upon the
thoroughfares, the wonder being where all
came from.
The procession tIaversed all the principal
streets, in which most of the houses were
brilliantly and handsomely illuminated il
being estimated that above hundred pri.
Vate residences, with nearly all the hotels.
stores and public buildings were decorated
Fireworks were set off at various points.
and al the evening cheers rent the air and
the enthusiasm seemed unbounded and IN.
comfortable. At Col. Tracy's, Franl,
BONDS, DR.. Turrill's and NJ. A. Monroe's
little maiders appropriately and sugpes.
lively bedecked, were stationed upon plat.
forms, under arches, and waved flags as
the procession passed All in all, it is pro.
nounced the most extensive and well man.
aged celebration ever held in Middlebury on
any occasion.

to the many already given in favor of your
WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY.
In the spring of 1858 | was most severe
ly afflicted with hard, dry cough, with
its usual accompaniment of night SWEETS,
completely prostra,ing my nervous system,
and producing such debilitated state Of
health that, after trying medical aid to no
purpofe, had given up all hopes of ever
recovering, as had also my friends. AT
this stage of matters | was prevailed upon
through the influence of a neighbor, to try
WIsTAR's BALsAM. though with no belief
whatever in its <ruly wonderful curative
properties, and before using two bottles
the effect was almost magical. My cough
entirely LETT me, the night sweats deserted
me, hope once more elated my depressed
spirits, and soon had attained my wonted
strength and vigor.

THE ELECTION IN RUTLAND

The elect, n in the town of Rutland was
remarkable for two things-the large vote
cast; and the perfect order that marked its
proceedings. The vote was without all
precedent, either in the history of the town
or state. The whole number of votes
polled vas two thousand and thirty-four.
being nearly full vote-fOr although the
check list contained nearly FIVE hundred
names more, or some twenty-five hundred
IN all, nearly every absent voter was &C
counted tor as being absent from town, or
as too sick or feeble. by reason of age, to
make it practicable for them to attend. We
believe, moreover, that the check list, as
completed, Contained, at least, three hun
dfed and fifty or four hundred more names
than there are legal voters in town. TAX
ing the population, as 1t was in 1870. the
check list showed more than one voter in
every four OF the population, while the &C
tua vote was in the ratio of one to five; or
at about the same proportion as is ordinarily
proved to exist between the votes aud the
population.
The unprecedented nature of this vote
may be seen BY a comparison with the votes
of former years. The largest representa-
tive vote cast, prior to this year, was in
1866, when it amounted to fourteen hun.
dred and twenty-five, or ak hundred and
nine less than this year. In 1867, it was
nine hundred AMI thlrty-six less than this
year; in 1868, eight hundred aud forty
eight less; in 1869, twelve hundred and
twenty-five less; in 1870, twelve hundred
and one less in 1879, six hundred and
twenty-tight less and in 1874, nine hun.
dred less.
This large vote shows that the voters OF
Rutland were either thoroughly aroused to
the importance of The issues involved in the
national canvass, or that they were more
interested than usual in the personnel OF
the representative. While we doubt not
that the latter had mere or less to do with
bTioging voters to the polls, yet we doubt,
after all, if twenty more persons voted yea
terday than would have voted hsd only two
candidates been in the field. The fact is,
as we believe, this large vote was brough,
out by the interest taken in the national
contest; and, to us, it shows, more than
anything else could do, that to the people
can be safely intrus'el the interests of the
country. They need only to be instructed,
to have their attention directed to public
affairs, by the press and from the stump,
to bring them to the polls, there to aid in
shaping the politics-that is, the govern.
mental policy--of the country.
Not wiihstanding the large vote, notwith-
standing the grta, interest taken in the re-
suit, not outstanding the importance of
the national contest, and the feelings more
or less strongly enlisted in the personnel of
the representative, the meeting was a
quiet and orderly as could have been hoped
for. There was no undue excitement, no
loud and boisterous talking, no disturbance
of any kind, but each voter conducted him

Rutland in the largest vote ever polled
In town, increased the republican majority
of four years ago by sixteen. Considering
the vast amount of lung power expended
by the democracy in the endeavor to con-
vince the people that the republican party
was given over TO the devil, it is pretty
fair showing.
