very accommodating merchant. Previous
to his beginning business in Townshend he
worked as clerk in Bratteboro, Newfane

IA livery stable in town, during which time
he had wide reputation for the accommo.

deal of attention of late ON account of its
having made choice Of "A postmaster by

augurating this reform ln:lSSl, there be-
ing two candidates for the postmaster,
notice was posted requesting the patrons of
the office to meet at the town hall and ex-
press their wishes by ballot as to whom they
would have for postmaster. The meeting
was held agreeahly tn the notice, and the
name of the successful candidate was sent
to the Hon j. NJ. Tyler, who was then our
representative in Congress, and the ap-
pointment was made in accordance with
the expressed wish Of the people The no
tice was broad enough to include not only
all political parties, but the ladies also. al
though don't remember that any IF the
latter awaited themselves of the opportunity
to vote. "ln the good time coming this
system will doubtless be adopted.
