Notice,

This may be the last-aotice before
an advance is made IN the price OF
goods. Our stock is yet offered as
low as Ike quality has been sold
in GAINESVILLE for twenty years past.
1t will be to the interest of many
who will very soon want Clothing
to buy from US before the arrival of
the new Spring Stock, after which
many goods, if notall, will be higher.
Our stock is now very well assorted
with late styles of goods, very
cheap. PITMAN q LEWIS.

OBITUARY.


ROBERTO HOWELL departed this life Feb.
I'd, 1880.
Sad, sad was the sudden parting between
husband and wife, father and children. Too
cruel it seemed to snap tender ties, that have
worn long years, in so short a time. Too
heavy, the blow that has fallen on the bro
ken widow and shorn lambs. But the ten
der Shepherd who is to temper the wind,
and bind mp bruised hearts, cannot be torn
from them. No vindictive shaft or cruel
bullet can pierce the immortal side of the
gentle Spirit, who gave his life to comfort
just such sorrowing souls. We have no or
phans. The word is misnomer.
When the soul of r. C. Howell took its
flight, an honorable man was lost TO earth.
His religion was equity and uprightness !;
his rule the golden one. He honored the
divine command of s'measure for measure
He was native of Virginia, but GAINESVILLE
had for many years been his happy home
until the LIST of February, 1880, fixed his
doom. Oh Death,
''Thou earliest man away as with a tide,
Or as the grass that cannot terra obtain
To see the summer come about again.
He leaves many afflicted friends to mourn
his going in the very prime of his life. He
an to battle on alone, and saddest of all, he
leaves unreared children. We most sincere
ly condole with his afflicted wife, and trust
that under this greatest grief her life may,
become more perfectly consecrated, and be-
sweetest healing. To his children we say,
You are not fatherless, but may be children
of the Messiah If you will only walk in the
In, In of
our Savior you may find refuge from all tn
justice and bitterness.
Ihope ere this the spirit of resignation has
come to his devoted sister, and brought her
the holy peace of 'benedietion after
prayer" The frail charms of earth snap
asunder beneath such mighty grief, and Ills
only the faith that blossoms beyond the
stars that brings consolation.
1 would ask his brothers to take his death
as a painful warning to turn their eyes from
earthly cities to Jerusalem the golden
For most surely there is peace beyond this
constant scene OF care that we may gain if
we are faithful. And when have laid aside
mortality, I shall want to greet them one
and all in that Land where is perfect peace
and love.

New RAILROAD CoMBNATIoNs.-Tbe
recent sale of the Sullivan railroad
from Windsor to Bellows Falls, to the
Connecticut River line, has caused the
Central Vermont corporation to take
steps to secure a parallel and indepen.
dent road from Windsor on the YER
mont side of the Connecticut River.
The Connecticut River road also pro.
poses to build a connection from Hins-
dale, N. H., TO a point opposite Brattle-
boro, a distance of five or six miles, in
order to avoid going over the road
from Miller's Falls to Brattleboro,
which Is controlled by the Central.
This would give both roads through
and indanandent linoa IN Na~ Vel
the Central Vermont via New Lon
don and the Sound, and the Connect
cut River road cia Springfield. If car
ried out these movements will result In
very important changes.

EThe matter of the court house is
still In the hands of the legislative COM
mittee, the question having been ad-
journed until after the Thanksgiving
recess. A vote taken before the ad-
journment showed a decided majority
against the court house of fifteen to
eight. 1t is not probable that the
opposing majority can be brought to
view the question any differently. The
larger part of the voters of the county
recognize the patent fact that a build
Ing hardly fit for a pig pen may yet be
avery good temple of justice, answer
ing all the needed purposes of warding
off rain and snow from judge aud jury,
plaintiff and defendant, lawyer and
layman. The facts that the conrt room
Is much too small, inconvenient and
lily ventilated, and that needed office
rooms are lacking, are nothing to the
voter, who as a general thing has little
to do with The county court, and cares
more for keeping his money in his
pocket than he does for the needs of all
the county and court officers in christen-
DOM The fact is, there is little in the
court house question which appeals to
any feeling OF interest on the part of
most of the people of the county. What
have they to do with the court house?
1t is easy enough for them to take their
infrequent turns to sit. a few days in
the year on a jury, in any kind of a
building that affords shelter from the
weather. The public spirit that de-
mands fine and convenient public build
ings does not exist in this latitude to
any great extent. The officers of our
county court may complain, and
strangers may deride, but SO long as
the present building stands it is not
