Milton Barnard, who has been resi-
dent of this town for about sixty years,
| died at his home east of this village yes
terdav. Mr.. Barnard was man of more
than usual attachments; always great
reader, his information on all subjects
was good. He was kind neighbor, and
for many years held important offices in
the town. His funeral will be held to-
morrow Tuesday at l o'clock p. m.
The many friends of Rev. IL. w. WOr-
then and family will regret that they are
called to another field of labor. Mr.. Wor-
then is, probably, the most learned and
versatile preacher in the Vermont confer
ence. In the course of long passionate
he has filled the desk of nearly all of the
more important Methodist churches OF
the conference. For several years he was
presiding elder He has during the later
years been called to many places to lecture
or his travels in the Holy Land, and upon
various scientific subjects. His sermons
are always sound, instructive and elo-
quent He has labored faithfully for the
| interest of this church and few pastors
have been held in higher esteem by the
large majority of the church. Since he
came here he has been instrumental in
procuring a large and excellent library
| for the Sunday School and has generous
| ly contributed to the fund of the Ladies
| Society by money received from a course
of lectures. His family will also be great
| lv missed in the work of the church and
| in the Sunday School. As they go to a
new field of labor the best wishes of q
large number of parishioners and friends
will follow them.
