probably better. For those unable TO pur-

Decoration day was very appropriately
observed by the citizens of the town and such
as were present from neighboring towns.
Twenty five dollars had been appropriated by
the town at the last March meeting to pay, in
part the necessary expenses of the occasion.
This money was very judiciously used by the
committee of the G. A. Il. The address by
Hon L. NJ Reed OF Bellows Falls was very
appropriate for the occasion and was well
delivered. The Baptist church, where the
principal exercises we're held, had been very
tastefully ornamented with flowers and flags
by committee of ladies', who never fail in
the performance of such duties There was
a large number who made no attempt to en-
ter the church. In addition to the address,
the singing, by select singers from the choirs,
was pronounced excellent. Each official of
the G.. A. r. performed his part we'll. The
exercises in the cemeteries were interesting
and were listened to by large number of
relatives and friends of the soldiers buried
there.
The river bridge near II. A. SCOTS is be-
ing arched.
Mr. Earl, tho new stage proprietor from
Townshend to Saxtons River, will occupy the
upper tenement in Bruce Wizards house.
C O. Simpson, the veteran stage driver,
is now 81 years old. He has driven stage
more than half his life, having been engaged
in that occupation in three or more different
states. For the past ten years he has driven
from Townshend on the Bellows Falls line.
A small part of the time he drove only TO
Grafton and return, part OF the time he has
driven through to the Falls, but most of the
time he has driven TO Saxtons River, return.
ing to Townshend the same day, making "a
miles ride. During the ten years Mr.. Simp-
son has lost but a few days by sickness, and
has not missed his regular trips on any other
occasion, and always has provided a man to
take his place when sick. Only one trip has
he failed to run during the ten years. and
that was at the time of the severe drifting
storm last winter, whom neither cars, stages
or private teams could move. Mr.. Simpson
has never left the mail, never lost an express
bundle or package, and no express bundles
have ever been disturbed while in his care
Although he has carried many thousands Of
dollars for different parties, he has never lost
IL cent or failed to deliver as directed so far
al he carried it. Never has more accOmo-
dating driver gone from Townshend in any
direction. He always stopped his horses to
take letters from parties on the road and carry
them to the first post Office free of charge.
He has always picked up all school children,
also, on his line who we're going to or return
ing from school, and he never has passed
woman or old man who was walking far with
out giving them an invitation to ride. He
now leaves staging for q while, the line having
been sold to Mr.. Earl Of Bridgwater, who
drives himself.
Grows are unusually numerous this year
and are disturbing the farmers much more
than common.

There are only two regular savings banks
in Chicago, and the deposits in such banks in
the whole State Of Illinois only reach mil
lion dollars. This partly due to the fact that
Western people on small incomes don't save
az the corresponding class in the East does,
aud partly to the large number Of savings bank
failures after the big Chicago FIRE in 1871.
