not justify, and this excessive strain re-
suited in mpairng his health. Still the
same natural disposition and tendency re-
NAMED, and to the end there was an in
clination to spur himself on to excessive
efforts, as he became an increasingly prOmi-
nent figure in our business circles. In
stead of lessening his cares as he APP
preached the age of three score and ten he
allowed them to multiply year by year, as
il he had forgotten the reminder which he
received earlier in life that there was limit
| to his strength. And it was sometimes diff
| fcult for him who required so much of him
self TO avoid the appearance of exactng-
ness in his dealings with others. Thus the
early training was constantly showing
itself in its varions features in his later
years. Certain of the rougher elements
that appeared in him could be readily
! traced back to the formative influences of
! his youth In his franlkness and mpulsive
Outspokenness sometimes his language was
! severe, rude and indefensible; but thus the
worst that was in him appeared on the sur
| face. To hear him speak was to know what
| he thought, though his second thought might
not always approve the language in which
he dressed his first thought. He had learned
to walk alone, as IL We're, early; and with
| his positive and pronounced convictions
| both in regard to business affairs and the
general conduct Of life, it was easier for him
to walk alone than to cooperate with 9TH
| ers through yielding to their views Trained
/ to independence of thought and action, he
became accustomed to rely upon his own
| Judgment: and, while he was not needless
of the opinions Of others, when he had
carefully matured his plans he pursued
them steadily, with close attention to de-
tails, and he was accustomed TO see
them succeed The enterprise which he
placed most prominently before our people
the one which will hold his name long upon
the lips of our citizens-the construction of
the Opera House blocks conspicuous
illustration of this.
His minute personal attention TO details,
his determination to have work well and
thoroughly done, his habit of closing up all
matters Of business as soon as possible, aud
hiS scrupulUus honesty, will be generally
regarded as his chief characteristics as
man OF affairs
His devotion to the Church of the Mes
sah was manifested not only by much per-
soual service in the society's behalf aud
frequent contributions Of money for its sup
port, but also by constant attendance at its
meetings. His departure makes the first
break in his immediate family since his
marriage more than forty years ago; and
his three sons-all now residents of Mont
pelier-throw the comforting and protect
ing shield of their tilial love around their
widowed mother
ANDREws.-Deaco f. f. Andrews of
Berlin died last week Wednesday after a
very painful sickness of ten days. He will
be much missed in his town and in the Bap-
deacon in that church since its organization
in 1863 Deacon Andrews was born June
II, 1923, on the place on which he died and
; where he spent the most of his days. He

his loss. Deacon Andrews was a type of
the best kind of citizens to be found in all
towns-active in every good work, always
J interested in public matters, and interested
because he was earnestly deSrous of Sc
l curing the best results for the town and its
/ people. A sturdy, upright man in all his
dealings with his fellow-men, he was re-
spected and esteemed by all who knew him.

loved the church and all its work. and was
deeply Interested in all temperance, mis-
e sionary and benevolent work, but, owing TO
always poor health she could not take as
5 active a part as she desired For many
years she had been an intense sufferer, but
a in the midst of her sutteriugs she could al
ways find loving words and kind deeds for
her fellow-suiterers, and many times denied
herself TO supply the wants of the needy.
She was an ardent lover of flowers, and un-
l. der her loving care they always seemed to
J. thrive with their rarest bloom and fra
