Mr. and Mrs. Simeon {. Durham were
taken by surprise NJ their residence
on High street Tuesday evening last, II
being the thlrty-Aith anniversary of their
married life, by having friends and neigh
bors to the number Of about one humid
dred, with the Woodstock Cornct Band,
calling on them aud congratulatlng them
ON the event, and presenting them with
numerous, elegant and valuable tokens of
friendship, The presentation speech was
made by ]. II. Murdoch, Esq, and re-
spondcd TO In brief and feeling manner
by Mr.. Durham. A poem written for the
occasion was read by Miss Abbic Weed,
Of IIarland, Remarks were made by
X. IL. Buchanan, Esq, Rev. .. X. Crosby,
Thomas Middleton, Esq, and DR.. NJ. ii.
Chandler. The surprise was planned by
members Of the Univcrsalst Church of
which Mr.. Durham has long been a faith
full member and chorister. Mrs. DR..
Buchanan, IN aged lady, Is entitled to
more than ordinary credit for her cflici-
ency and energy in assisting in carrying
out the surprise to perfection and salts
faction. Mr.. and Mrs. ID. return thanks
for good will, presents, etc. Had 1t not
been for unforeseen circumstances we
should have been there ourself.
Our friends, Hon. Il. =. Cotton Of
Irasburgh, brother Of Dr. Cotton Of
this village, and Hugh Henry, Esq,
Of Chester had sharp clinch in the
republican convention at Burlng
ton for the Lieut.. Governorship, last
week. The vote stood, Cotton, POI
Henry, 27l; 4 scattering, and Mr..
Cotton was declared elected. They
are both capital good fellows, and we
could vote for either of them if we be-
lieved In the Republican doctrine. 1t
Is said tn at Brad. Barlow killed Henry
Brad. is 10 be a candidate for con
gressional honors in Colton's district,
which may account for the milk in the
cocoa-nut. Hughs defeat is onl y tenn
porary.
We have asked great many Re
publicans, who are not tied to "party,'
how they liked the nomination for
governor In every case the express
sion was, 'Don't like him, won't vote
for him." But the "trooly loel"
through the State, who know nothing
of him, only that he is a Republican,
will pull up the slacks in their trous
ers, take big chews OF tabacco, march
up to the polls on election and elect
him-the same as their fathers have
done other fossils.
NOTICE TO FARMERs.-Mr. A. NJ.
Foster wishes us to say that there will
be an exhibition of "Mudgett's I'm
proved Hay Tedder," on the afternoon
OF June 4th, on the Common at
Woodstock, Vt. All interested are
cordially invited to attend. Mr.. Eos
ter says he is sure this is the tedder
the hay-maklng world wants, and
A. M. knows what good farming
tool is.
Our bakers are doing a good bust
ness, and they should be patronzed,
for they do good work at reasonable
prices. Last week they turned out
several "batches" of nice wedding
cake, some OF it to fill orders from
California.
The new park fence is being put up.
1t is substantial, slightly ornamented
post and lamp holders, rails commo |
gas pipe two inches through. Every
body is making remarks and sugges-
tons about the looks, manner of con-
struction, etc. We think it is too
