the big oxen owned by Hastings &

Uncle Samuel Drew, an old and re-
spected citizen, and a longtime resident
of this town, died this morning. Mr..
Drew has suffered from various ailments
at the seeming point of death. His trou-
bles went to his head at last and made his
death a sudden one. He was ore of the
oldest persons in town. Funeral services

The entertainment given by Miss Mar
tina Bean on Saturday night drew
good house and was much enjoyed by all
present Among those who took part in
the exercises were Mrs. Fl. r. Cutler and
the Prindle children of Glover; Mrs. DID.
Bean, J. E. Cobb, Ida Ruggles, Jennie

The veterans, and others interested will
remember the reunion to be held on the
Fair Grounds on Thursday of this week.
The chief pleasure to the soldier is to
meet with his old comrades, but he will
be interested, as others will, in the adj
dresses, the music and the military exer-
cises expected to be had. The chief adj
dress, which will be made by Capt. H. B.
Atherton of Nashua, n. FL, will be excel
lent, as are all of Capt. Atherton's ad-
dresses. The campfire in the evening
ought to bring out some Interesting army
stories and "reminiscences. We hope the
citizens will attend the day and the even
ing meetings. Half fare between West
Burke and Newport.
Mr.. Benedict, the late appointee as col
lectOr of Vermont, was out last week in
speeding the customs offices and counting
up the custom house applicants. We
doubt not he found the offices i'll apple-pie
order, and sufficient number of appli-
cants to fill all the places. The demo-
Gratis have handed in their designations,
and are gracefully preparing to go out.
We understand that the offices have been
very well managed under their admins
tration. The applicants for first place at
| Newport are f. w. Baldwin of Barton, d.
M. Camp and Benjamin Human of New
port. It seems probable that Mr.. Camp,
at least, will get either first or second
place-probably second. Newport is
somehow naturally modest, but dislikes
to lose any office where there is pay in it
hence the multiplicity of candidates for
all the positions in the office.
