J. Warren Bailey.

In our last issue we briefly announced the dan
gerous illness Of him whose name we print above.
So rapid and fatal was the progress Of his disease
that, before the announcement Of his illness he'd
been generally read, death had ensued, the event
occurring at about four o'clock In the afternoon
OF the plat instant. Mr.. pailey has long held a
conspicuous place among the business men OF
Montpelier Born in Emore May I, 1924, he was
near the completion Of his fifty-sixth year About
twenty-five years ago he came to Montpelier and
engaged with John Peck in a general produce
business in the store west Of the "arch" The
following year Mr. Peck withdrew, and the firm
Of Bailey Brothers was formed by the admission
OF Charles Bailey,-a partnership that was des-
tined to achieve a widespread reputation for the
extent and fearlessness Of its operations and the
combination OF business acumen and high sense
OF commercial honor II displayed In 1864, the
brothers gave up the store and confined their
operations to q general livestock business. Al
the dissolution Of the partnership in 1872, each
continued to employ in distinct operations the
comfortable fortunes their united efforts had se.
cured Five years ago Mr.. Bailey engaged with
" w. Bullock, Esq, in the grain business at Bur
lington, Iowa, and about a year ago his opera
llOnS III tnNt ulTectlon Tue VI NV
firm Of Bailey, Bullock & Co. In Chicago, hi'
brother, T. W. Bailey Esq. Of Montpelier NOV
ing to Chicago to assume the active management
OF the business Of this company. In 1855. Mr.
Bailey was married to Miss Harriet Guyer o
wocott who survives him with the daughters
Misses Ella and Clara. The funeral was largely
attended on Saturday, the citizens, representing
every class Of the community, forming an honor
airy escort to the cemetery. The funeral service
were conducted by Rev. J. II Hincks, assisted by
Rev. N. Fellows OF Trinity church. Among Thu
mourning relatives was the venerable mother o
the deceased now verging on four score years
who has survived to follow to the grave the three
eldest OF her six sons, each dying under PECULIAR,
affecting circumstances. Mr. Bailey was distiD
gnished for the native keenness and precision o
his Judgment in business transactions. 1t wa
emiuently speculative, but tempered with an ele
ment OF caution, that taught him to shun hazard
ons ventures. In this community and anon
humor will be greatly missed; and his name vii
long survive in local anecdotes, illustrating hi
readiness At repartee and power OF puDgent e1
preston In the loss Of their natural guardia
aud protector, the widow and daughters will hav
the unfeigned sympathy Of this community, whic
will also extend to the aged mother, and to tn
surviving sister and brothers the assurance Of il
participation in their sorrow.

PAINFUL ACcIpENT--John I.avine while saw
Saturday forenoon, the oath inst, met with
terrible accident. While standing in front Of the
saw a load Of wood was dumped close behind
him The unexpected crash seems to have startled
him and he sprang forward against the swing
frame Of the saw table, bringing his right arm in
contact with the saw completely severing it mid
way between the wrist and elbow Before his
companions could seize him, his arm was again
brought in contact with the saw, fearfully LAGER
ating it above the elbow but not cutting the bone
Providentially. DR.. Washburn OF Waterbury was
attending patient in that vicinity. He was
quickly summoned, and directing one OF the work
men where to place his thumb to arrest the flow
Of blood which squirting from the severed
arteries, gathered up and tied the minor arteries
above the elbow. Not having his surgical instru-
ments with him, he was unable to pick up the main
arteries which were severed below the elbow,
but applying his thumb to them he held them com
pressed till assistance could arrive from Waterbury,
four miles distant After the expiration Of an hour
and half, Dr. Washburn was relieved from his
wearisome task by the arrival Of Or James, and
the injured man was properly cared for. Mr.. La
vine lives at Essex junction, is man nearly fifty
years OF age, and has wife and several children.
lie grieved piteously, after emerging from the in.
fuence of ether, over the loss of his good right
arm, but to DIR. Washburn's skill in taking up Il
part of the arteries without instruments, and grit
| in holding on to the main arteries till assistance
arrived, he is indebted for life.
