The Muster.

The annual muster Of the First Regiment of the
Vermont National Guard, Colonel T. S. Peck COM
manding, was held at Bradford last week. The
grounds selected were most admirably adapted to
this purpose, the weather was delightfully."- pro-
ptious, and the citizens of Bradford were I'm
wearied In their efforts to render the affair sue
cess in every particular. The heavy tax upon
their hospitality they met promptly and heartily,
and many a soldier and visitor will carry away
kindly recollectons of the pleasant time they had
at the muster Of 1879
The usual routine Of the muster this year did
not vary materially from that customary on
similar occasions The companies were full in
numbers, with arms, equipments and uniforms
neat and trim, and thoroughly solderly element
prevailed in camp during the entire muster With
so small a tax as the militia imposes upon our
citizens, we think there is not voter in Vermont
wto could have been present and seen the orderly
and business-like way in which everything was
conducted there and found fault with the slight ex-
pense involved in the maintenance of our militia
The muster was also notable for the large
outside crowds which were in attendance during
the entire period OF the encampment Certainly
ON Thursday, the day Of the inspection and re-
view by the governor, the number of spectators
present could not have been less than ten thousand
and by many these figures would be regarded as
too small. very pleasant reception was given
on this evening by Colonel and Mrs. Roswell Farm
ham to Governor Proctor
Each company seemed to vie with the other in
accuracy in drill, neatness in uniforms and equip
ments, and very general disposition 10 maintain
order and good discipline. The result can easily
be imagined, and it reflects the highest credit upon
the citizen soldiery of our state as well AS their
officers Nor can we refrain from saying here
that no company upon the ground conducted itself
with more propriety seemed to realize and per-
form its full duty-and in most admirable and
efficient manner-than did our own Company H.
The company is a credit to our town and is deserv-
ing OF the generous consideration OF all our citizens
All in all, the muster this year may be regarded
as an exceptionally fine one in every particular,
and both the citizens of the state and their citizen
soldiery are to be congratulated upon this fact.

DuXBuRY.--On Tuesday, September I'd, Mrs.
Deborah Davis OF Duxbury familiarly known as
Aunt Debby :" in her immediate vicinity, held a
family reception at the dwelling house of her son
Albert Davis of Duxbury, and her old friends and
neighbors, children, grandchildren, great-grand-
children, nephews and nieces to the number of
fifty or more were present She will be ninety
years Of age this fall and is to a surprising degree
in possession OF all her faculties. She has five
children living who were born in Duxbury, the
oldest being seventy years OF age this fall, and
the youngest over fifty years OF age About the
first of the present century she moved from
Greenfield, Massachusetts, to Duxbury and has
lived in Washington county ever since She be-
longs to long-lived family and bids fair to be-
come centenarian. Investigation at the family
gathering showed that not one of her descendants
made use OF tobacco in any form, and her sons
for many years were honored teachers in the town

From the Pacific to the Atlantic !
Elections i'm California
and Mainey
Both States Redeemed
They Are Both Claimed by
the Republicans.
Heavy Gains in Both States

The recent elections in Maine aud California
have resulted in redeeming both these states and
in substantial Republican victories, almost as un
expected as they are gratifying
In California the Republicans carry the state
ticket and legislature, thus insuring Republican
United States Senator in place of Booth, indie.
pendent San Francisco was generally carried by
the workingmen and Kalloch is undoubtedly
elected mayor. At least three ont of the four
members of congress are Republicans
In Maine the result is very close with indications
that the state has been carried by the Republicans
on the popular vote In any event the legislature
is Republican, and they elect the state ticket, IL
there is no election by the people, A Republican
United States Senator is thus assured rs well as
Republican state officers. The triumph of Green
backism in Maine has been short and anything
but brilliant one
This result will strengthen the hands of the Re-
publicans throughout the country and augurs
well for their prospects in the presidential election

First Day Of the State Fair.

Lowery weather heraded the opening day OF
the state fair, and the attendance Of visitors was
small, bat this was In degree made up by the
thrush OF exhibitors and their exhibits. The
greatest show Of living animals on EARTH" is a
phrase that will apply, at least in numbers, very
well to this fair The superintendent was given
carte blanche ~ to the number Of stalls and pens
he should put up, and he thought he had put up
enough, until he saw the long procession vending
their way up the steep ascent. The superintend-
ent Of cattle, Mr.. Cleveland was put to his trumps
TO find places for the great array Of Jerseys,
Shorthorns, Ayrshires, etc. etc, that were brought
before him, and finally several carloads had to
De herded In the middle OF the ground while ac-
commodatons were being provided for them.
Carpenters were at work at this until nightfall.
Good judges declare that not only in numbers
but In quality the show Of horned cattle mas never
been equalled In the state while of sheep there
was very large number OF entries in all the clas-
SEES There Is also fine assemblage of first-class
horses.
In Mechanics Hall the display OF dairy appa-
ratus Is varied and abundant, but in other de
partnen's the show had not reached very great
dimensions during the day. The Floral Hall,
though containing number OF noteworthy exhib-
itS IN some departments, was remarkably meagre
IN Others especially in fruit and vegetables. But
PROBABLY the second day will show accessions in
ooth halls moderate show, but of very excel
lent specimens in several breeds, occupied the
poultry stand.

harmed, will much conduce to the pleasure Of the
