William Dean Nichols, one of the village
merchants, died suddenly last Wednesday
evening. Though in poor health for some
time, he was in his store until the Saturday
night before he died He was taken with
nasal hemorrhage, to which he had been
subject, but the attack was prolonged until
the whole vascular system broke down and
death ensued in spite of the best nursing
and medical treatment Only twenty-nine
years of age, he seems to have passed away
long ere his prime had been reached. He
learned the drug business at Evans store,
being apprentiCed there when only a boy.
For several years he had been in a store in
New Hampshire, where his services were
highly appreciated and where he formed
strong friendships. Being ambitious to
achieve the greatest success he neglected
the doctors advice to keep out of doors as
much as possible, and set up in business for
himself in the Davis. Crossett block a short
time ago. He was considered an excep-
tionally good druggist. Being Mason, the
burial services were conducted by Winooski
Lodge, the religious exercises being under
charge of his pastor, Rev. S. II. Wheeler

There were seizures of liquor again last
week, at our depot. While there is reason
for thankfulness at every instance of this
kind, it is probable that ten ought to have
been made for every one that has been in
the months past. And here it may be
proper to speak of the comments made by
not alone newcomers to our place, who have
had opportunities to see the dark side of
things here, and elsewhere, regarding tenn
perance. If they paint the matter in its
true colors, the odds is so much against us
that there ought to be a run " on sack
cloth and ashes here. Shall not love and
law go hand in hand now in death-grapple
with this evil?
