Obituary..

DUsTIN.-On Saturday, October ID, 1886,
the grave closed over the remains of Phian-
der Newton Dustin, who died at Berlin, Vt,
on the Both of September, having spent fifty
years of his life in this town. Mr.. Dustin
came to Berlin at an early age and began
life in humble circumstances: through mar
velous industry and indomitable persever-
ance he became successful farmer. He
was held in high esteem by his fellow
townsnen both for his uprightness of con-
duct and his efforts to promote the public
welfare He took a great interest in district
schools, and did all in his power to advance
the education of the young. He was strictly
temperate. He loved the truth, and was
always straightforward in his business rela-
tions. He scorned "A mean action and gave
no countenance to anything that was evil.
He loved the house of God, and as long as
his health would permit he was to be found
regularly in his accustomed seat drinking in
the words of wisdom which fell from the
lips of the preacher. He made the Bible his
companion, and took delight in marking
passages which had struck him in the course
of his reading. He was man of deeds more
than words. He loved to perform kind ac-
tions and said very little about his own
works. His piety was of an unobtrusive
kind, and a deep sense of his own unworthi-
ness hindered him from becoming mem ber
of the church; however he sought its pros
perity by every means in his power, and
subscribed literally towards this end. In
his death the community has sustained
great loss, and many are mourning the de-
parture of a true friend. He was loving
and faithful husband and kind father.
His influence was always for good in his
home. He leaves a widow, two sons and
one daughter to mourn his loss.

up to take away and sell to visitors at popu-
lar summer resorts. The legislature should
promptly put an end to this whole wretched
and unmanly business"
A NUMBER of highway bills have already
been introduced into both branches, and the
hood-gates are not yet opened. The one in
troduced by Mr.. Bixby Of Chelsea provides
that the sole supervision of making and re-
pairing the highways shall be left to the Sc
lectmen, a tax of fifteen cents on the dollar
to be collected in cash. or may be worked
out at fifteen cents an hour by good hand.
The tax may be voted in addition to state
tax for highway purposes, and the money
taxes are to be paid into the town treasury.
Selectmen will keep an account of moneys
expended, the same to be at all times open
to the inspection of taxpayers; loose stones
in highways are to be removed once a
month, and in sleighing the travelled track
of bridges to be covered with snow. The
selectmen are to purchase material, tools,
etc, for making repairs on highways. This
bill would seem to be as satisfactory one
as any that is likely to pass.
The great event of Tuesday was the
voting for senator by the two houses The
hall of the house and the senate chamber
were densely packed with visitors and every
available inch of standing room was occu-
pied. Nearly all the state officials and
many prominent citizens of the state were
present on the floor of the house. Governor
Ormsbee and Senator Morrill, occupied a
sofa together. Senator Edmunds was placed
in nomination by DIR. Chesmore of Hunting
ton and was seconded by Messrs Higbee of
Charlotte, Mansur of Brighton, Reynolds of
Alburgh, Marsh of Woodstock, Peck of
Bloomfield, Fiske of Morristown, Barney of
Swanton and Buttertield of Grafton " Gov
ernor " Bingham was handsomely nomina-
ted by Mr.. Haselton and was seconded by
! Messrs. Mayo of Northield Wall of Dorset
and, possibly, Currier of Troy. Judge Veazey
of Rutland was nominated by Major Smith of
Vershire in characteristic speech. The vote
stood as follows: whole number of votes 234
of these George f. Edmunds had 1919, w. II.
II. Bingham q and w. G.. Veazey g. The
members who voted for Judge Veazey were
Messrs. Bedard of ST. Albans, Harvey of
Topsham, Smith of Vershire, Hall of
Groton, Pratt of Milton, Haylett of More
town, Millard of Stamford and Fisher of
Bethel. The only vote cast against Senator
Edmunds in the senate was that of Senator

for ten years afterward, he was pastor of
the Congregational church. Three children
were born to them--two sons and one
daughter. Mr.. James G.. Houghton, who
bears his fathers name, is the Oldest and
Miss Julia NJ. Houghton, who was for
several years teacher in the Montpelier
Union school, is the youngest The second
son is Mr.. Joseph G.. Houghton of Stamford,
Conn. Mrs. Houghton was resident of
Burlington some four years, but for the
past ten years she had made her home with
her son in Montpelier Mr. Houghton
died in Montpelier April 20, 1880, and
Mrs. Houghton had been an invalid
for many years. Although she had
been declining constantly for about two
years, her death was quite sudden and un-
looked-for. She had large circle of friends
in this vicinity and all will tenderly cherish
her memory and feel that the world must
be better for her having lived in it. Funeral
services were held from the house Tuesday
at eleven A. NJ, and the remains were
taken to Green Mount Cemetery for burial.

60 The Madame Frye Concert Company, at
fremont Temple last evening, in a varied
programme of vocal and instrumental selec-
tions, was entertaining to all present. The
varied aDlllty OF tne members OF the com

lections ranging from a motto song to
Gounod's Ave Maria, and to play selec-
tions for a small orchestra for string
quartette, for a horn quartette, as well as
flute and violin solos. There was merit in
each Of the selections. The variety made
possible in the company's programmes by
the many abilities of its members will un-
doubtedly insure its success"
