HISTORY OF DERBY.

1t is thought that the first child born
in town was daughter of Henry Buzzel,
in 1896, though on the town records
there are the names of the Kellum chill
dren. Joseph born May 25, 1894, and
Mary born May 23d, 1895. Mr.. Kel-
lum was an Indian, half-breed, who
came from the vicinity of the Connecti-
cut,river, at an early day, and settled
on the farm now owned by Mr.. Todd; it
is probable that his first children were
not born in town, though the dates of
their birth are here recorded. Ezra
Human, born in May, 1897, was the
first male child born in town. April
23d, 1900, Lydia Newcomb was born.
After this time the population of the
town increased quite rapidly, both by
births and immigration. 1t is believed
that there are now no descendants of the
Buzzel girl or of Ezra Human in Derby.
The first white persons who died in
town were two children of Solomon Ash
ley, who died in 1900, and were buried
in the burying ground near Derby Gen.
tire. This burying ground was cleared
very early, and the first crop of wheat
| ever raised in town was raised upon it.
| In 1897 there was burial in town of a
man named Carr, transient person who
was found frozen to death on the road
in Salem. A rum-bottle disclosed the
cause Of his death. Citizens of Derby
and Salem rallied and brought the corpse
to Derby. aud then built huge fire
and thawed out the frozen body, and
buried it few rods northwest of the
forks of the road near o. S. Badgers
at the Center. In 1902 a Mr.. Grimes
went into Canada, and while there took
the small pox and died soon after hi'
J return to Derby. He exposed severa

other persons who were violently sick
but recovered. The excitement occasion
ed by the breaking out of this disease
was great, but proper sanitary measures
prevented wide spread Of the malady.
Previous to 1900, man lost his life in
the narrows on the lake or river. about
where the south bridge is built across
the lake at Newport. A party from
New Hampshire or Maine. were driving
a drove Of cattle through by way of the
Clyde, to settlement on the west side
of Magog in Canada. When they reach
ed the narrows of the lake they swan
their cattle across, the men assisting by
swimming over on horses. By some
means one horse gave out and the rider
was drowned The body was recovered
and carried to his home for burial.
Indian Point on Memphremagog is
said to have long been a fayorite camp
ing ground for the Indians, both while
they visited this section on fishing and
hunting expeditions, and when they
passed through the country for other
purposes. There being no bridge at the
Bridge" SO called, for many years, the
crossing was done by boats and scowi
from the Point to a landing opposite
Scows of sufficient size to carry team
were made, and parties on either sid'
were ready to row passengers or teams
over for hire. A road from the Point
running nearly east, crossed the tow
and ran into Holland.
While speaking of the Point, it ma,
be we'll to mention the fact that in ISL
man by the name or Caleb Prouty. al
| old hunter and fisherman, was drowned
on one of his fishing excursions.
Beebe Plain was named after Zebe
Beebe, the original settler who made
pitch in that part of the town in 1876
1t will be remembered, from what ha
already been stated about the early set
Element of the town, that pitches wer
made in the several sections of the tow
at about the same time, from 1896
1897. TO BE CONTINUED.

TIMBER FOR PRESIDENT.

When some outside surprise was ex-
pressed to a citizen of rural town not
thousand miles from Springfield that a
certain man had been elected deacon, he
replied: deacon timber is scarce in
and we have to make them out of
what we have" But president timber
is not so scarce when we take common
sense view of it. What the American
people, aside from the wire-pulling poll
ticians. want in president is, not per-
sonal eagerness for the place. not brill
liant party management. nor telling ora
tory, but. first, unsullied integrity, and
second, common sense. A certain degree
of practical acquaintance with public
affairs is prerequisite, and that is pos
sessed by many men in every state of
the Union who have also the other quail
ties, integrity and common sense. If a
great Office demands great man, these
prime and reliable qualities will dignity

both the Office and the man. The rough |
diamond will bear the cutting. polishing
and setting of the presidency. 1t will
have more faces to reflect its lustrous
qualities. Abraham Lincoln was one of
these rough diamonds. Not half so
accomplished statesman as William
H. Steward, but far better and safer
one. When once discovered the people
trusted him, and his star is fixed in the
armament of history while brighter
names that were have waned. What
made Lincoln great was the great thing
we call character. and its prime elements
were integrity and common sense.
Alexander Hamilton was far more
brilliant man than George Washington,
but he could not have been, under any
circumstances of Office, such cherished
name. There is plenty of good presi-
Dental timber in the second rank of
quiet. thoughtful, upright, unpreten-
tious, wise and prudent men, who have
had an adequate public experience. but
have never reached out a finger for the
presidency. Neither Webster, nor Cal
houn, nor Clay got the longed-for Office,
and no tears but their own were shed.
The people can get along without great
men, as great men view themselves, or
as they are viewed by their party bench
men who are after the loaves and fishes.
They want the greatness of men that
serve great trusts by being trustworthy
This supreme quality is proved. not so
much by brilliant party leadership and
the adroit control of caucuses, conven-
tions. departments, states and custom
houses, as by the steady and honest full
filment of trusts which lie nearer to the
common life of people. There are many
Washingtons and Lincolns who love
their homes and neighbors and local
duties so much better than they love
the capital and its partisan scrambles.

Yet, again, we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fed;
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

County Court commenced on the Sd,
with Hon. 7. P. Red6eld, presiding
Judge, and Hon. Levi Rowell and Hon.
Geo. E. Braley, assistant judges, and
Hon. Orrin Taylor, sheriff.
The first case tried by jury, was an
appeal from the Probate Court upon the
disallowance of note by said court, in
favor of A. W. Nelson of Woodbury..
against the estate of R. H. Little. late
of Barton, deceased, which note for the
sum of about $500, dated in the year
1868, and payable to one F. I. Bridg-
man of Hardwick, had been transferred
to the plaintiff Nelson. The case was
tried by jury in this court two years ago
when the jury disagreed, being eleven to
one for the plaintiff. The defendant, L.
Robinson, administrator, denied the exc
cution of the note, claiming that the sig
nature of r. II. Little was a forgery.
The note on its face was properly exc.
cuted and witnessed by one G. B. Whit
en-. Testimony was also introduced by
the plaintiff, tending to show that Little
in his life time admitted the existence
of the note. Mr.. Nelson testifying that
he notified 3. H. Little by letter. of the
purchase of the note, and afterwards
personally. Testimony tending to i'm
peach two of plaintiffs witnesses, was
introduced by the defense.
After occupying two days in the ex-
animation of witnesses and one day by
the counsel in arguing the case, the jury
took the case, remaining out about eigh-
teen hours, but could not agree and were
dismissed. Waterman and Parker for
plaintiff, and w. w. Circuit and J. L..
Edwards for defendant.
The case of Levi Jacobs VS.. Martin
Abbot and wife of Glover was an action
in assumpsit for the price of quantity
of silk which the plaintiff claimed he
sold to Mrs. Abbot The defendants
claimed that they purchased the silk
on condition to return it if not satisfac-
tory, which fact the jury found and gave
verdict that the defendants recover their
costs. Gen. circuit for plaintiff, and
Crane & Alfred for defendants.
| Eugene Rowell VS.. E. w. Powell was
an action in trespass, for the taking of
plaintiffs horse and selling the same on
an execution. The plaintiff Rowell
claimed the horse to have been kept and
used for team work. The evidence was
that the horse was three yeaas old, and
that it had been driven on the road
while plaintiff was buying cattle, and
was used once to break roads and at one
other time for the purpose of drawing q
small cider press and bag of meal
