A TELEGRAM, April /, summoned John G.
Rowel, engineer on the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad, and his brothers, G.. p. and
Aaron Rowell of Berlin, to the bedside of
their brother, G. f. Rowell, in East Kings
ton, n. H., who was dangerously sick, and
who died on Monday, the 4th, aged sixty
one years. The deceased formerly lived in
Northfield and was the oldest son OF Leon
ard #. and Sarah L. Rowell, late of Berlin.
Mr.. Rowell is survived by four daughters
and two sons-one daughter, Mrs. Will
Reed of Montpelier, being unable to visit
her father because of sickness. Mr. Reed
arrived in East Kingston, April 6, in time
to attend the funeral.
DR.. WATSON recently received a telegram
announcing the death of his brother-in-law,
j. A. Hadley, at South Chelmsford, Mass.
Mr.. Hadley was for many years resident
of st. Johnsbury but since the death of his
wife, two and half years ago, he has made
his home with his children in Massachu-
setts. Many here will doubtless remember
the kind faced, courteous old gentleman
who spent last spring in the doctor family,
assisting in the repairs about the premises.
He was kind and affectionate in his family,
loyal to his friends and one of Gods best
works, an honest man. His many friends
in this place extend their earnest sympathy
to his children in their bereavement

THE sugar crop of 1892 is probably a more
or less complete failure, and Vermont far
mers will lose not far from 81 900 900, unless
a decided change takes place in the weather.
This is not looked for. Good Judges esti-
mate that only about quarter of the aver

800 samples have been received, which
represents a probable production of $4,000

Press reporter drops in regularly every day,
