 Ex-Speaker Hoyt of the last House of Representatives and w. J. McConville, clerk of the present Senate, visited Ex- Representative J. H. Linsiey, last week.

 An effort is made to organize camp of the Sons of Veterans here. It praise worthy object; let every one speak good word for it. The veterans are fast passing away and soon the last of them will have tasted the last of earth. Very few came from the war free from the seeds of latent disease, which, after the lapse of 9 years, is rapidly developing in it's numberless forms and carrying off the survivors. Hence, continual socie- ties should be formed to perpetuate their perennial fame. The veterans sons have a noble example in the formation of so- l cieties of the Sons of the Revolution in the several States.
 Miss Carrie, daughter of the late Dr Charles H. Webb, aged 42, was laid at rest by the side of her father and broth CT. Her aged mother, whose mind as | we'll as body has been in an enfeebled condition for some years, was not able to follow the remains to the grave. The later life work of the deceased has been to care for the mother and the continued assiduity with which she performed that duty no doubt contributed to break down her constitution, never very strong and shorten her life. Her last words were 1 ssTake good care of mother.''
 i Francis A. Atwood, who lived on the celebrated Stephen Atwood farm, lying on the dividing line of Woodbury and Watertown, is dead at the comparatively early age of 5S. The town line runs be- tween the house and barn and. the house being in Woodbury, his voting place was here. He has been noted as the richest man of the name of Atwood in this part of the State. He nearly realized in fact what the late Dr Backus of Bethlehem I once said of the wish of his neighbor Bellamy, when asked if he was fond of real estate: "Oh no," said the doctor, mot very. He only wants to own all the land that lies next to him. He was a model farmer and an excellent citizen. He leaves a widow, son and four daugh- l ters.
 Arbor day was observed by number of our people and many a handsome elm and maple will show as the result of their labor in a good cause. It would be a good place to set out fruit instead ot shade trees. The good sense of the pub- I lie would respect the larger part of the fruit and the planter would reap the ben eft in the good time coming.
