- IL becomes our sorrowful duty to
chronicle the death Of Frank f. Sylvester,
at his home in this place, on Friday morn
ing of last week. Seldom do we have to
note the going away of any one upon the
" silent journey " who seems to have the
had more TO stay for than " Our Frank
With a charming home made pleasant by
the presence of loving young wife, dar-
ling little three-year-old boy, and re-
spected father and mother, with the stua-
ton OF assistant cashier of the bank in this
place, with the love and respect of all who
knew him, and with reputation for up
rightness that any one might envy, he had
started upon lifes journey with every pros
pect that it might be a long and pleasant
one, but the silent angel came and the bright
young life of few weeks ago has gone out
forever In closing this short sketch we can
not convey any better idea Of the esteem in
which our friend was held by those who
knew him best, than by saying that for sew
eral years before coming home to assist his
father in the bank, he had been the private
secretary of j. W. Dodge, Esq, superin-
tendent of the freight Department. Of the
Cheshire railroad, whose office Is at Keene,
n. II. So much did Mr. Dodge respect him
that himself and wife, accompanied by j. +.
Hayes and W. f. Perly, associates of Frank
in the Office, came up to join in the last sad
rites to their departed friend and COM
panion. - We forgot to mention in the
report of the fire last week that the Fitch
burgh railroad had one car burned, and
would have lost another but for the hard
work of three or four of the first ones upon
the ground moving it away. 80 Elmer
! Grant finished his engagement in Stearn's
! livery stable last week and went to St. Al
| bans, where he expected to obtain work.
II f. j. Hutchins, who has been at
Barre for the last two months, came home
for visit on Saturday last. -= We came
near having a large fire here on Friday
evening of last week, by Mrs. Dr. Green's ac-
dentally tipping over lamp in her home
in Wilson's block; but, most fortunately for
our village the fire was stopped before it
had done much damage. 80 Mrs. Sarah
ellison has gone to White River junction
to serve as cook in the Junction House.
60 An unfrequent sight in little vii
| lage like this that of two funeral professions
upon the street at one time and both at the
cemetery at the same time, occurred in this
village upon Sunday last. - The re-
mains of Galusha Sanders, a former resident
of this town, were brought here from Brain
tree for interment on Sunday last - AS
| Luman Gee and wife were crossing Rochester
Mountain a few days since, they stopped to
bait their horse upon the top, Mrs. Gee hold
ing the horse while her husband lifted the
buggy around, which frightened the horse
and caused him to start, running over Mrs.
Gee as did also the carriage, which was
badly demoralized and Mrs. Gee somewhat
hurt 60 There was a large steam boiler
brought to this railroad station last week
for the West Rochester lumber works.
