those who could recall forty years from the |
past, to look upon the portraits of Major |
Thompson, and his queenly daughter, Clara, |
by the pei C of that master of portrait paint
ing, b. +. Mason, the friend of Powers, the |
co-worker with lnman and Cole in the world |
of art and beauty There are many evidences |
of his mastery skill in the homes of some of |
our oldest and best families in Nergennes |
and Middlebury. There is to be n reception |
at the Thompson homestead, Wednesday |
evening, at which, no doubt, there will he n |
large attendance.
Very many families in this place send |
away to Boston, New York, and elsewhere |
for goods, samples of which have been sent |
them by mail Your own city of Burlington |
derives good revenue from Nergennes, an
nually. One lady whose daughters trade
literally with distant dealers, thinks that |
she has been not altogether valueless men,
Der of the community, for during her resi-
dence OF twenty-siX years in Nergennes, her
local expenses have been twoi.:y six thousand
dollars. She is by far too good a patron of
DUR own dealers 10 lose, but will proba-
bly, change her residence ere long.
Miss Eva d. Hail. the efficient and worthy
young lady, who for three years past has
been telegraph operator at the railroad sta
lou in this place, has left for her home in
Pittsford Miss Hall leaves many warm
friends in NergcnneS.
We hear rumors of party from Middle
)ury visiting Ncrgcnnes soon, and that the
services of the Lily will be put in requisition
o convey them on picnic down the river.
The Lily goes to Burlington this week, we
believe, and to the Bay for examination, and
Ter annual certificate. Capt. Daniels has a
inc little boat.
There is a rumor that Mr.. J. G. IIindes of
he National Horse Nail Company here, con-
cn'plites transf, ring his services to the Sar-
.n,,c ComrHnv N kocscville. We hope it is
)nly a ruhiuI, iur he cannot well be spared
Politically we need lin, socially he is u large
actor, and to the Nail Company he is almost
Indispensable.
