not get the prophetic snow that Ven

slice of it, for on Monday morning
snow commenced to fall and contin-

day. The fall here was about l3
inches, while in Martinsburg and
other places it was from Is to 19 inch

what impeded, and no eastern mail
arrived here Tuesday night. 1t msy

Death Of Hon. Charles w. willard.

The citizens of MONTPELIER generally were sur
prised TO hear of the death OF Hon. Charles w.
willard In the earliest minutes of June 8, al
though they knew that for some years past his
physical powers had been failing. His great in
teectual powers, however, were clear and strong
to the end, and his last years work was one Of
the most laborious of his life. Some surprise has
been expressed that Governor Proctor should have
selected one so apparently feeble physically for
the great task of revising all the statutes Of the
state for the action of the next Legislature; but
Mr.. Willard cheerfully accepted the trust, and
entered upon and continued the work 80 vigor-
ously that the entire manuscript was completed
for the press about the first of April last and the
most OF IL in his own handwriting. That work
will be monument not only to his great industry,
but doubtless also to his critical knowledge of the
law, his good taste, and sound Judgment. 1t
seemed to the writer of this notice that the labor
referred to, excessive though it was, served, by
dverting his thoughts from himself, rather TO
prolong than to shorten his life; and that was
Mr.. Wizards opinion. However the fact may
have been as to that IL ia certain that on resting
from labor he began to fail. and after few DAYS
of much suffering in the very bloom of summer
the angel of death gave him rest. Mr.. Willard
was born at Lyndon, June IS. 1927 and graduated
at Dartmouth college in 1851. He Immediately
entered upon the study OF the law at Montpelier
and was admitted to the bar Of Washington county
in 1863. Acting for a short time as reporter Of
legislative proceedings for the writer of this
notice, Mr. willard became acquainted with the
leading men Of the state, and so commended him
self that in 1855, in his twenty-nnth year, he was
elected secretary Of state. To this office he was
reelected in 1856 and in 1857 he declined another
