RECENT DEATHS.
MRS. JONA. ROSS.


Died, at st. JOhnsbury, Jan. Is,
Eliza Carpenter, wife of Judge Jona-
than Ross, aged SO years. For some
forty years she had lived among us,
first as student in the academy, in
later years as a matrOn whose quiet
sweetness and excellence will be long
remembered. Her strong, we'll bal
anced character made her the worthy
companion of husband who was
known in the gates when he sat among
the elders. With intelligent and gen
tie fidelity she trained large family
of children to lives of usefulness. For
nearly thirty years she was beloved
and devoted member of the South
church, and had the satisfaction be-
fore her death of greeting all her fam
lily to it's fellowship. Some months
ago the shock of paralytic disease
smOte her. From that time she was
like Il child, trustful under her Fathers
will cheerfully receiving the minis
tries of hands that had caught theil
skill from her mOtherly care. Her sew
en- surviving children arise up and call
her blessed, and a voice from heaven
saith, Blessed are the dead that die in
the Lord.

A NINETIETH BIRTHDAY.

The 18th instant being the Goth
birthday of Sir Thaddeus Fairbanks,
the inventor of the famous scale which
bears his name, good many of our
citizens took the occasion Saturday
evening to call upon him informally
and pay their respects to an hOnOred
and honorable neighbor who has been
brought to this unusual age. They
found him sitting i'm his library sur
rounded by his children and grand
children, enjoying the conversation
and reading. He greeted his friends
and neighbOrs with the unaffected cor
diality and simplicity which has char
acterized his life, and entered into con
versatiOn with them personally about
current events as well as those of long
ago. Thus the evening passed, and
when the citizens returned to their
homes they felt an inward JOY and
gratitude for the long and useful and
peaceful life of their distinguished
townsman.
The many friends of Mr.. Fairbanks
at a distance will be glad to know thai
his general health is pretty good thai
he is frequently seen at church and
out riding in pleasant weather.

Postal Business in 1885.

Here are some statistics in relation
to the st. JOhnsbury pOstOffice and the
amount of business done in 1885.
There was received for stamps of all
kinds $7,905.87; for box rents $907.75
total receipts $8,613.62. Domestic
money orders issued 956; foreign
meney orders issued &c; money orders
paid 1901 postal notes issued 1852,
paid 920; number of letters registered
799, registered letters received 2l62 ;
registered letters passing through from
other offices 2438. Since the beginning
of the special delivery service in OctO-
Der, 81 special stamps have been sold
and 81 special delivery letters receiv-
ed. A comparison with the figures for
the preceding year would be worth
little as the reduction of the rate of
postage from three to two cents in 'S4
and, again, the increase of the weight
of letters from half an ounce to one
ounce for two cents, have greatly re-
duced the income of all pOstOfices.
Postmaster Carpenter estimates that
an average of at least 1000 more two
cent postage stamps were sold every
month of the last year than were sold
of three cent stamps in 1884.

Music at Barton.

The Barton Monitor distributes a
generous share of praise to the st.
Johnsbury participants in the Orleans
county musical convention held in
Barton last week. Here is what it
says: Harry May contributed greatly
to the success of the convention. He
has voice of great compass and pow
Ell and whether in the solo, quartette or
chorus was equally efficient c.. S.
COnant, we believe an Orleans county
boy, won much praise. His tones are
very smooth and he runs up among the
high notes as easily as lark. E. A.
Silsby received very happy encore
for his song and helped greatly in the
chorus. Miss Parker, contralto and
music teacher, formerly of st. Johns
bury, also came in for large measure
of praise. The convention was a sue
cess though SO much outside talent was
engaged that the expenses were some
$40 in excess of the receipts.

MRS. CHARLES w. WILLARD,

The many friends in this and other
states were shocked to learn of the
sudden death of Mrs. Emily Reed Will
lard, widow of the late Hon. Charles
w. Willard of Montpelier, which Oc-
Cured at Boston Monday evening.
Mrs. Willard was rare woman tai
ented, cultivated, warm hearted and
generous, she was one of the truest of
friends, and fit companion for Il
quarter of century of one of the most
brilliant and useful men Vermont has
ever had either in editorial chair or
the halls of congress. They have left
four dutiful children r. Will
lard, talented young lawyer, and
Mary Willard at Montpelier, and Eliza
and Charles, now in school at the ST.

Another Concert.
The st. Johnsbury band are going to

cert in Music hall next Tuesday even

pared which will include number of

AN ANTIQUE AFFAIR.

The antiquarian supper at the South
church Thursday evening was a ia =
nous success both as a supper and as
jolly good time. There was a grand
mOtherly air about the whole affair
from the luscious chicken pie-made
out of real chickens-tO the baked
beans and pOrridge. Mrs. o. Chase,
Miss Mira Fairbanks and Miss Hattie
BlOdgett presided at the three tables,
at which were seated for two hours or
more a hungry multitude who were
served by eleven young ladies dressed
in the costume of We Olden time, and
who, after the supper, sang "The
Campbells are coming" "Auld Lang
Syne," etc. Miss G.. Wiswell and Miss
Julia Wilmarth sang selections and
Miss Mira Fairbanks gave piano solo.
Some of the dishes and table furnish
ings were over 100 years old, soup
tureen putting in a claim to $50 years.
Every had good time and good
supper and the society Melted $50 Oh
so as a result.

served.

Vermont Veterans.
The military gatherings at Burling-
ton started off finely Tuesday. The
attendance is good. The 18th annual
meeting of the society of the lst YER
mont cavalry was held Tuesday even
ing. A banquet was served with after
supper speeches by Gen. Wells, Col.
Greenleaf and others, among them
Gen. Ide of st. Johnsbury who took
advantage of the opportunity to urge
veterans to request their town repre-
sentatives to support an apprOpria-
ton to enable Vermont veterans to
erect memorial on the field of Get
tysburg.
The officers reunion society had its
22d annual meeting yesterday. There
was a business session in the after

Horse Gymnastics.


Mr.. David Silsby is authority for a
pretty good smash-up story. W..
Woods, who lives two miles or so out
of the village, was loading wood on to
sled the other day. The sled stood
on the edge of a sharp declivity. The
two horses attached to it did not pull
together when the loading was COM
pleted, and the horses, sled and wood
went end over end and horse over
horse down the precipice, distance of
100 feet. The wonderful part of the
story is that, though the sled and wood
were smashed to splinters and one of
the horses landed plump on top of the
other and finally stood upright on the
under horse, both were eventually pull
ed out, apparently none the worse for
the gymnastic exercise. Mr.. Silsby,
who vouches for this story, is as good
a republican as stands in Caledonia
county.

The young men of the Free Baptist
church gave sOciable on Tuesday
evening. The storm prevented large
attendance but the program was car
ried out and very good entertainment
was the result. Mrs. Corliss read a
poem, DR.. Grow sang solo, the choir
rendered some selections, there were
tableaux, pantomimes, Shadows" ETC..
and refreshments were served later in
the evening.

THE VALUE OF A SOUL.

There was union service of the
several churches of the place at the
North church Sabbath evening. The
introductory exercises were conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Sandford of the Baptist
church and Rev. Mr.. Beeman of the
Methodist church.. Rev. Mr.. Lamson
gave sermon "fOr temperance and
against intemperauce," as he announce
ed in the morning. The text was
"What shall a man give in exchange
for his soul" While the address was
in no sense statistical, he referred in
passing to the millions of money spent
in this country aud Great Britain for
drink and the thousands of lives sac
rificed annually as a, part of the price
paid for souls. But the foundation of
the discourse was the words of the
Savior when he gave his disciples the
two great commands on which hang all
the law and the prophets the second
being, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as myself" The speaker gave both
the dark side and the bright side of
this great reform, and urged his hear
ers to have faith in God, reverence and
obey the laws, and flight and watch
and pray" against this monster evil of
intemperance. The speaker held the
closest attention of large audience to
the very close. A good sized chorus,
sitting in the front seats, assisted ma
terially in the congregational singing.
