have been that of George Edison, formerly
of Mortified, whose friends were very
anxious to get it to his old home. Itdidnt
stay buried at White Station, but it arrived
at Nerth6eld the other day, the coffin being
enveloped in tarred cloth. It's advent
caused not little excitement.
NO MrDDLE.MEN.
Those Bakersfield grangers that were
obliged to haul their car load of corn from
Enosburgh Falls to their own town, a dis
lance of ten miles and upwards, through
the drenching rain and snow storm of the
9Th inst, upon wagons with mud six
inches deep, are convinced that there Is
damn side to all questions, grangerism not
excepted. But they found no middle-men
in the way, and got their corn two cents
per bushels cheaper, they say.

into Main street the driver lost control of
the horses and Mr.. ID. was thrown into the
road, and the others soon followed, as the

time complete cripple, and his escape is
remarkable.

in singular manner. lie was picking

loading gun, when the shell exploded,
throwing the bullet into the floor on which

ANOTHER BURIAL CASE.
Another burial case has arisen at Swan
ton, relative to the interment of Henry
Cassemer, who died so suddenly few
days since. He and all his connections
were Catholics, but being engaged in the
foundry, he did not stop for all the feast
and fast days that happened, and Father
Camm refused to attend his burial in the
consecrated ground. Whereupon the
Protestants of the village took charge of
the funeral, which was attended by a
larger assemblagc and conducted with
more ceremony than is common Tor per-
sons in bis position in the community.
COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Gen. Garfield of Ohio met with quite a
"Comedy of Errors in his effort to reach
Keene, N. H., to deliver political adj
dress. Having got left at Sprinfield, Mass,
he chartered an engine which overlook the
train at Holyoke, but when he reached
South Vernon he failed to change cars and
came on to Brattleboro, feeling, probably,
that he had made a bad job of it. He was
soon assured, however, that Brattleboro had
livery man who was equal to all such
emergencies, and few minutes past six
saw him on his way to Keene in one of
Rays teams. 1t is hardly necessary TO add
that he reached his destination in ample
time to begin his address at 8 o'clock.
THE CODE DuELLo.
An old affair of honor in which the ia
nous Gov. Tichenor and Ira Allen were
engaged in 1903, but concerning which ira
dtion is almost silent, has just been
brought TO notice by some searcher among
the old papers. Ira Allen held several i'm
portant offices, besides being engaged in
! several private enter rises, and Tichenor,
having been appointed TO examine Aliens
taccounts as state treasurer, reported bal
ance against Allen, and blocked suit that
Allen proposed to bring against the state
for the recovery of a sum he claimed to be
due him. This led to challenge from
Allen, and the two met on the east side of
the river near Windsor, on New Hamp-
shire soil They had placed themselves
back to back, started off, and were Just
wheeling to fire, when their friends rushed
between them.
