The decision of the overscers of Har-
ward not to confer the degree Of LII. ID,
upon Governor Butler of Massachusetts
has caused considerable talk. As the
matter was disposed of in the meeting oil
the board, it was held that the gov
ernor's character was inconsistent will
the motto of the college, "Veritas.'
The subject was first considered in Its
relation to previous votes of the board
1t was agreed that the presidents of the
century were not by any means binding
Resolutions were offered setting fortf
that the degree was not essentially q
tribute to the office. but to its incumbent
and that in refusing to confer the degree
on the present governor the board i'm
piled no disrespect to the people OF
Massachusetts.

Memorial day was not forgotten, but
a few of our veterans gathered in the
morning at the Congregational church,
were joined by citizens and marched to
the Cook cemetery, where they found
an assemblage waiting. After listening
to a very acceptable address from the
Rev. Mr.. Patten, and decorating the
graves of soldiers. they dispersed.
Quite a number went to East Middle
bury and took part in the ceremonies
there.
There Is a fair prospect that a G.. A.
r. post will be organized here at an
early day. There is at least no lack of
material, some forty eX-soldiers being
residents here, though all are not natives
of the place. During the war this was
claimed to be the banner town of the
State, sending 63 men TO the war from
among 125 voters and at the close having
a credit of two men over all calls. OF
the men that went, with one or two eX
ceptions, all were killed, died of disease
or were more or less disabled.

been rome about five minutes when il
was discovered that he was dead. His
funeral was held on the following Fri
day and was largely attended, he having
been a resident here for many years,

though quite a number are at a distance,

But it is my solemn conviction that he didn't
