Obituary..
CHARLES CALVIN.

Died at his home in this village early on
Tuesday morning, Eustace Virgil Watkins
aged 66 years. For nearly a year the Dr.
has been in falling health During the
summer just past, the doctor in company
with his wife, spent several months in Lon.
don, for the double purpose OF deriving the
benefits of a change OF climate and the adj
vice Of celebrated physicians. He returned
home not much improved in health. Later
in the season he decided to spend the win
ter in company with his family in a warmer
climate, and started early IN November for
a trip South stopping in Worcester, Mass,
to visit his daughter, Mrs. Silsby, at whose
home he was taken worse ana returned to
his home in feeb condition, from which
time he grew worse. Most tender care of
his family was lavishly bestowed, and the
attendance of our best physicians secured
vet to no avail the work of our fellow citi-
zen and friend was done, and he passed
quietly to his rest. AS a physician, Dr.
Watkins was too well and widely known
to need comment. He was a graduate from
Dartmouth in the class of 49," student of
Dixi Crosby and DR.. Peaslee, and came to
Newbury in 1851, since which time he has
been identihed as one of our most public
spirited citizens. In private life, a man of
unblemshed character, as 4 neighbOr, es-
teemed for his social and sympathetic quail
tiles, for many years member OF the Con-
gregational church and liberal supporter
of ali our public and charitable institutions.
DIR. Watkins was prominently home
man. and in this home will his death cast
the deepest gloom. All hearts are touched
with deep sense of bereavement. The
medical fraternity have lost a leader, the
sick EARNED attendant, the town noble
citizen, tie church liberal supporter, the
neighbOrs kind friend, the family all that
an earthly parent could be. The funeral
services will be at his home on Friday at
o'clock p. m.

SEVENTEENTH VERMONT

At the reunion of the Seventeenth
Vermont Volunteers, held in the Repre-
sentatives Hall at Montpelier last week
Thursday evening, L;eutenant-C Colonel
Lyman E. Knapp Of Middlebury deliver
ed an address which was replete with
thrilling incidents in the history OF that
remarkable regiment. We give space
for one expression which has local an.
plication in that the Lieut.. Hicks spoken
Of was Bennington man. Col. Knapp
said: THE explosion of the mine, which
had been dug under Elliott's Salient, as
the fort was called, which had been Sc
lected for the scene Of operations on the
Both day of July, 1864 All night long
the troops Of the 9th corps had been
moving and busy, though noseless prep
aratiOns were in progress. An omnibus
silence brooded over the two great
armies lying there in watchful anxiety,
almost within pistol shot of each other.
The Union army knew that the next
day was to be a bloody one. But the
weary hours sped on. And as the first
rays Of the morning light were SHIN
mering upon the eastern sky "a suppress.
ed rumbling, earthquake explosion was
heard and, as eye witnesses described
1t the occupants of the undermined fort
some 300 in number ,as estimated by one
writer, together with guns, cassons, and
other implements and paraphernalia of
war, were hurled high into the air, and
came back a shapeless mass-a frightful
shower of mangled corpses, severed
limbs and decapitated trunks. This was
the signal of one Of the most terrific
cannonades of the war. II has been es-
timated that the noise was much greater
than at Gettysburg. Then came the
combat Of which l cannot think without
emotion.
1.-THE part taken by the nth in this
engagement THE Battle of the Mine,
July Both, 1854. is very distinctly shown
by the official statistics OF its losses in
battle. Not a commissioned officer who
went in with the regiment came back to
answer the roll call that night, five OF
the eight being killed, and but few Of
the enlisted men escaped TO tell the
story.
THE history of this battle almost par
allels the story Of Leonidas and his noble |
Spartan band at Thermopyle. And GER
tainly those brave Spartans were no
more patriotic, no more heroic and self
than our brave Major Rey-
nolds, Lieuts. Hicks, Needham, Bing-
ham and Converse, and their brave com
rades who fell that day"
