Nice, soaking rain yesterday aud
everything looks blooming.
We were glad to shake the hand of
our young democratic friend, Amos
Head of Boston, this week. Mr.,
Head did good service here during
the last Presidential campain, and we
will never forget him. He has secured
a good place in a wholesale store at
the Hub, and he will fill it too.
Can any person show me catalogue
of the Vermont Medical College for the
years 1854 and 1871, or for the years
previous to 1910, in which catalogues
of the Institution were issued?
HENRY S. DANA.
On Thursday last while Mr.. A. p.
Churchill was at work haying on his
farm west of this village, and when
about to go into the barn with a load
of hay, his load tipped over on to him,
and with the load and wagon was con-
siderably injured, but fortunately no
bones were broken. Levi Washburn
who was at work with him, got a
team and brought him home, when
DR.. Sherwin was called and under his
treatment is getting along as well as
can be expected.
The twentieth anniversary of the
marriage of Peter Gobie and wife
occurred Thursday evening. A large
number of friends and neighbors were
present. Music, dancing and refresh
ments constituted the evenings enter
tainment. There was a large number
of useful and valuable presents. 1t
was jolly good time and will long be
remembered by those who took part
in 1t. 1t was great surprise to Mr..
and Mrs. Gobie.
The Billings party arrived in town
by special train late in the afternoon of
Friday last, after an absence of six
weeks on the line of the North Pacific
Railroad aud on the Pacific coast
Some Of Mr.. Billings friends formed
the plan of paying him their respects
at his home on the Hill. Consequent.
ly word was given out to all that could
be seen in the short time given
them, which was little more than
one hour, when party Of about
seventy-fve proceeded to his residence,
arriving there at few minutes past
O'Clock. Mr.. Billings was called
out, when the Hon. Warren G. French
in behalf of the citizens, made an ex-
ceedingly neat and appropriate adj
dress, welcoming them back to their
pleasant home, and congratulating
them on their successful journey and
safe arrival. Mr.. Billings was taken
entirely by surprise, and replied in
substance, that his long residence on
the Pacific coast and during the con-
struction Of the N. p. II. r., he had
made the acquaintance of many people
which he was pleased to meet; but his
journey was undertaken mostly in the
interest Of the commerce of our coun-
try over that great continental line
His plans were made before starting,
where to be on each succeeding Sab
bath, and when to arrive home.
And these plans were fully carried out,
having travelled over a space of 10, 900
miles and arriving home the very day
and the very hour he had intended,
seven weeks before, and without ac-
cident of any kind, And for this kind
care he offered thanks to the Great
Protector of us all. He said that he
had been given many recogntions by
large bodies of people during his jour-
ney, but the qualification of meeting
these old friends and neighbors, with
their kind welcome at his home, was
worth more to him than anything
received while abroad. He thanked
every one present in the kindest man.
ner for the expression of their good
will as shown on this occasion. The
party was made to go into the parlors,
where Misunderstanding began by Mr.. and
Mrs. Billings, and a pleasant word
was given to al. The party remained
but short time, MOVING that the now
