We notice in the Boston Times sew
eral communications of late, from Fred
Kimball, son of R. NJ. Kimball, we'll
known in this county. Fred is not
twenty years old, but his letters. mostly
accounts of his rambles in Canada, are
clear, racy and interesting. He seems
to possess his fathers faculty for clear
perception and sharp expressions of
language. We are glad to note his sue
cess.
A. L. Bailey of st. Johnsbury made
big display of organs at the fair, hav-
ing an Estey pipe organ, also Mason &
Hamlin, the New England and others.
Mr. Bailey is doing a heavy business in
organs, pianos and music. and those
wishing anything in his line will do
well to remember his name and place of
business. Organs in price from $50 to
$35O-eight different styles, with many
kinds of pianos. Mr.. Bailey's ability to
purchase at low rates and experience in
the business make it easy for him to
supply just what the buyer needs at the
lowest rates. Any communication to
him at St. Johnsbury or Burlington will
be promptly answered.
The vacancy in the Office of Judge of
Probate for this district, caused by the
