Monday morning brought to Us the
painful intelligence of the death OF
our respected townsman, G. c.. Dodge,
who expired at his residence at Cady's
Falls Monday morning, July 5, after a
long and painful: illness. Mr.. Dodge
was well known to the citizens of this

ours can add to the respect and es-
TEEN in which his memory will be
cherished by all. In him we mourn
the loss of a kind neighbor and a
prominent and useful citizen. In the
late civil war Mr.. Dodge served faith
fully and with honor in the cause of
freedom, and it was while thus engaged
that he received the wounds which
have at length caused his death. He
was a member of the Grand Army,
and also of the Masonic fraternity,
and in his death these organizations
lose a faithful comrade and a true
brother. The body will be buried to-
day "Wednesday with Masonic hon
ors; services at the Universalist

a liable was spread for the band how

1or his untiring efforts to make all things

ing and caring for the six horses which
conveyed the band from and back to
Hyde Park.
The speeches by Revs. C. A. Votey.
Edwin Wheelock and Elisha Folsom /;
also by Hon. Alney Stone, of Westford,
were appropriate to the occasion and
well received. Mr.. Whes9sck referred by
name to many of the early settlers of the
town, speaking highly of their selt-denial
to gain honors establish churches, Sun
day schools, district schools and the
church, and leave a goodly heritage to
their pOsterity, and of the blessing con-
ferred upon them by the fact that the 4th
of July can now be celebrated without
the aid of New England rum.
He reminded the children of the great
advantages of to-day ove those of his
time. Mr.. Folsom said he had been told
that this was also the centennial year
since the settlement of this town. He
also sent five boys through the audience
for a collection to defray the expenses of
the band, to which the people responded
literally. d. G. Howard had a lemonade
and peanut stand to help defray eX-
penses, from which cigars were sold.
Though there was an abundance of pure
ice-water the lemonade and peanuts were
well enough, but to our simple judg-
ment it is q shame for a Sabbath School
or church to countenance the use or sale
of tobacco in any form, much more to
defray expenses of either by such sale.
