The Lowell (Mass.) Morning Mail
of the 1st inst. contained an account
of the golden wedding reception of
Mr. and Mrs. 6. c. Chase, an event
which has a local significance here
abouts from the fact that Mr.. Chase,
who was for 3S years principal of
the Lowell high school, was for six
years from 1889 principal of Peach
am academy in this county, and was
married, fifty years ago, to Miss
Martha S. Cowles of Peacham.

accompanied West by his wife and
little son and his mother, Mrs. E. b.

A CORRECTION.
In our brief biographies of the
medical profession in "St. Johnsbury
Illustrated" an injustice was done
DIR. H. S. Browne, which we hasten
to correct. No mention was made
there of his receiving his medical edu-
cation at the McGill college, Mont
real, and of his degree of M. D. at
Castleton, VT, Medical college in
1852. Dr. Browne has been a prac-
ticing physician in St. Johnsbury
since 1859 and the omission of his
degree in ''St. Johnsbury Illustrated"
was an unintentional error.
