A Very Singular Affair.

At the last meeting of the commits
siOners or the estate of Dea. Lorenzo
Howard of this place, held on Monday
of this week, an unexpected claim
against The estate was presented. The
widow Root of Lyndon appeared on
the scene, holding two notes. The first
reads about as follows:
WEsTMoRE, VT, Aug. IL, 1919.
For value received of David Giltillan,
promise to pay Sarah Giliillan, 5000
with interest annually. PAYABLE at my
death. LORENZO HOWARD.
Mrs Root said her maiden name was
Sarah Gilhllan, that David GifilIan
(now deceascd) was her uncle, that the
note came into her possession some
fourteen years ago, after her marriage
to Mr.. Root. When asked why she did
not present her claim mt the first meet
ing of the commissioners in January.
she replied that she thought she would
wait until after the first of April, on ac-
count of taxes. The note was written
with ink on a small piece of blue pa
per. but Mr.. Towards name was sign
ed in pencil. There were no indOrSe-
ments upon it, and nothing except tn,
date to indicate its great age. The
commissioners E. +. Brown of thi'
place, and Mr.. S. 5. Thompson of Lyn
don. together with Mr.. Rufus Young
I the administI atOr, were cOnsiderabl,
taken aback by this disclosure, while
Mrs. Howard was completely dumb
founded.
Mrs. Rect also presented another not
for $500, dated Westmore, 1864. Thi
note was also written in ink and signet
Lorenzo Howard in pencil, and payable
on demand. On this note there wer,
Endorsements of $500 the first year, AM
one endorsement of s. and another @
81, since, at proper times to prevent
from "outlawing." This note Mrs. Roo
says was given for borrowed money a
the time Mr.. Howard was selectnan o
Westmore aud was enlisting soldier
and paying bounties. She said she too
I his individual note because she prefer
red it to one against the town. Th
commissioners concluded to adjour
their final hearing until they could in
q. yestigate the matter.

A Smash-up.

On Tuesday evening, as Mr.. VIM.
Quimby, Il workman at F. F. Fletcher's,
was riding out in a buggy that he pur-
chased about a week ago, he started to
drive over to Summerville, and as he
turned from Railroad on to Portland
Street, he heard an engine whistle near
the depot, but thinking he had time to
make the crossing, drove along. A per-
sou across the track saw both Quimby
and the train, and called to Quimby to
stop, which he did, but as the train
came up the horse SHE'D around in such
a way that the end of car struck the
hind wheel of the wagon, piling horse,
wagon aud driver into the ditch in
a demoralized condition. Fortunately
man and horse escaped injury, but the
wagon was so badly smashed as to be
almost worthless.

We call attention 30 the advertisement of the
Phoenix Mutual Life Ins. Co, of Hartford Conn.
in another column for few good agents 1t seems
a rare good chance for the right kind of a to
take hold and build up good and permanent bus
mess. We have looked over the statement for the
year 1880 and the showing is excellent. The
ager at Albany, n. Y. for New York state and
Vermont and New Hampshire, is one of the ablest
managers in the field and the general agent for
Vermont state is an old resident of Rutland and
native VermOnter; feel that any man seeking
field for life insurance work would do well TO write
call on either of these gentlemen.
