Strange as it might seem Illey looked TO

found was one whose. backbone and
brains merited Mr.. Perry's heartiest COM
pliments. loud laughter and applause
That man was Anson P. Morrill,, a man
who did more in building up the Repub-
lican party than all the rest OF them put
together
Speaking of Lincoln, Mr.. Perry dwelt
upon his perplexities and trlais, espec-
tally at the beginning OF his admlnistra-
hon in 1861.
WiIford G. Chapman, Esq,
was introduced as representative young
man of the. Young Mems Republican
Club, who. would respond for that organ
ization. Mr.. Chapman, who was re-
ceived with loud applause, spoke elo-
quently of the manner in which time, oc-
casion and the man were blended in the
fame of Lincoln.

Major II. s. nielcher,
was introduced and enthusiastically re-
ceived. He referred briefly to the re-
suits of the life of him who was honored
in the exercises of the evening. One OF
the most remarkable of these results
was the acquiescence of the leaders OF the
lost cause in the justness OF Llncoln's s
cause. Major Melcher referred to the
patriotic speech made during the Chlllan
affair in Congress by Colonel William ..
Oates OF Alabama, the same man who
led the Fifteenth Alabama against the
Twentieth Maine at Round Top.
Hon. Josiah III. Drummond.
an ''old, staunch and tried Republican"
next received a LincolnaClub reception.
He said he was glad to be in an assem-
bly, where the good, old-fashioned idea
prevailed that parties and politicians
were necessary. Lincoln was a man of
the people, and his idea was that the peo-
pie should govern. Government by the
people was on trial in the days Of Lin
coin.
Lincoln was spared seeing the days of
the Mugwump. He was a party man;
and his example taught US that we
should yield our Judgment to that
of the party, and move on in the
battles of the party. The great
danger of the Republican party is the
introduction into it of this idea of in
dependent political action. In titles dam
ger of defeat and destruction.
A rising vote of thanks was extended

BRUNSWICK FUR CLUB.
Some Noble Hounds Will Run at Mondays
Meet.

The meeting of the Brunswick Fur
Club, which will occur at Great Island
next Monday, will be a hunting
event of much interest in this
region. The Fur Club is composed of
gn association of gentlemen in Maine and
New Hampshire, who own fine dogs and
delight in a good hunt after the wary
foxes of Casco Bay shores.
Some of the dogs owned by members
of this club are of truly royal canine
blood There is Mr.. r. D. Perry's
'sClinker,'' recent winner of the Ameri-
can Field Cup, the highest general aver
age medal and many minor prizes. 1t is
claimed that ''Clinker'' is the grandest
fox hound in New England today. He
is black and tan, of the famous Avent
stock, and is of Fox III.-Wellin blood.
He is claimed to be the fastest runner,
widest ranger and mostinteresting work.
er ever seen in the North.
Mr.. Perry has also "Slip," winner of
the 1st in hunting Sd in trailing, Sd in
speed and Sd in endurance. He is game
to the backbone, and from the Wild
Goose pack of Kentucky, by Longfellow
er Callie Yates.
Another from the Wild Goose pack is
Mr.. Bates's ''Leads-All," winner of I'd in
speed. He is powerful red dog, and a
bench winner at the sixth annual bench
show of the New England Kennel Club
at Boston.
Mr.. L. o. De nnison, who is president
of the Fur Club, owns Trimmer win
ner of Sd in hunting and same in bark
ing, of Buckfeld-Byron stock, and
one of the most promising young dogs in
the club. His famous sire, "Ben But
ler," is known in fox-hunting circles
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Mr.. A. B. f. Kinney's ''Major" is
hard-working dog of native stock, and
winner in the 'sly-to' class. MI. Kin
ney's ''Trim,'' winner of second honors
at the recent trial, unfortunately died
last month from distemper.
Of winners in the puppy class there
will be seen Messrs. Knight and Given's
Beauty daughter of "Slip," which
won first prize and special; also Mr..
Bates's ''Spott,'' which won third and is
sister to Trimmer These puppies are
exceptionally fine specimens of fox
hounds, and will show grandly in all the
classes at the trials in November next.
This February meet is intended to be
rousing old-fashioned fox hunt, and
there viii be much interest in the rum
ming, as the good-natured rivalry between
the owners of the dogs always means ex-
citement
The fourth annual field trials, which
wilt be held next November, will be the
hottest contested of any the club has
ever held. The strong puppy class of
last year will be in with the old ones, ,and
many importations of fox-catching fly
ers from the best southern packs will un-
doubtedly be made. The two strongest
strains of fox-hound blood in America
are the Avent and July, and as both
will be represented in the trials, fox
hunters will have an opportunity of
seeing some very exciting racing.

Nathaniel IL, Hall.

The death of Nathaniel B. Hall in Jack
son, Mich, on Tuesday the It'll, inst, as
announced by telegram to the friends in
Bennington, was received by the public
generally, with great surprise, as it was
not known but he was in usual health.
1t is true he had been for some time all
ing more OF less, but was expecting to
make visit to Springfield, Mass, and to
the East, about the time he was taken
with pneumonia. 1t was thought he was
improving, when it was found difficulty
with the circulation of the blood, Athe-
roma, deposit on the inside coating of
the arteries was developing, which may
have been going on for some time, which
effected seriously the brain, and from the
effects of which the physicians, pro,
nounced his situation hopeless.
He was the fourth son of Gov Hiland
Hall, and was born in Bennington, Sept
2, 1926. His youth was spent here, and his
education received in the schools and
academies of his native town. After the
study of the law with the late o. l.
Shafter of Wilmington, and more recent
ly of the Supreme Court bench of Cali
fornia, and his admission to the bar Of
Bennington County, practiced in the
courts of the State for several years and
then moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where
he remained several years. On returning
to Bennington he resumed the practices

of his profession, and was well and fav-
orably known in his native state. Had
he had ambition for office, we see no rea-
son why he could not have been sue
cessful politician, but he was averse to
holding Office of any kind, and accepted
only such as would render him an incon-
spicuous and unselfish citizen, but did
accept the Office of States Attorney for
the County for the year 1S61-62.
He went into tine war of the rebellion,
as Major of 14th Vermont Regiment. 1t
was enlisted for nine months only, but
saw considerable service, and among the
battles in which it was engaged was that
of Gettysburg.
In 1865 he moved to North Bennington,
entering to the manufacturing business
with brother under the firm of Hall
Brothers. About 1870 he removed TO
| Jackson and entered upon the Loan and
Insurance business under the firm name
of Hall & Gould. In a year or more he
took the Office and business alone and
carried it on prosperously until a few
wears since he took as q partner his only
! son, Harry r. and the firm has been
| Nath'l B. Hall & Son.
He married in 1850, Miss Martha B.
daughter of Henry r. and Harriet E.
| Rouse of Bennington, who survives him.
| Their children were Harriet B., Hiland
H., Harry R., and Dolly, all of whom are
now living except the second, which
died in 1854, aged year months and
10 days.
In 1870 he delivered the memorial
address on Decoration Day, in the GENE
terry in Bennington, which was among
the first of these ceremonies inaugarated
to perpetuate in this way, the memory
of our fallen heroes. Many veterans
were present and large concourse OF
citizens, and with music and flowers and
fitting demonstrations of respect, the
day was made memorable as one of de-
votion to the memory of those who SO
lately had given up their lives for theil
country. In 1885 on visit to his native
town, when at a gathering upon the
grounds of the Graded School building
in Bennington, assembled out of respect
to the distinguished Soldier and Presi
dent, General Grant, who had recently
deceased, and when several had address
ed the audience, Mr.. Hall was called up
on to speak. He responded to the cal
in his usual happy manner, and there
being several of his old regiment anC
many other veterans present his remarks
were enthusiastically received and he
was permitted to close only as he felt HI
had occupied sufficient time.
As neighbor he was kind, generous
and sympathetic, as friend genial anC
true, and in his business relations III
acted upon principle founded upon in
tegrity of purpose.
OF family of eight children, sil
brothers and two sisters he being TIN
fifth, only two remain, Henry D. of Nortl
Bennington and Charles Hall of Spring
field, Mass.
The interment was in Jackson, tn
funeral being on Thursday, yesterday a

On account of the sickness that has
taken three young children from our
village and vicinity, some of our city
friends have deemed it the part of pru-
dence, to defer their coming few days,
but it is thought now by the physicians,
that all danger of contagion is past, and
that in few days at least, it will be per-
fectly safe to bring families to their sum-
mer homes.
Some improvements have been made
recently, that add to the attractiveness
of the beautiful old village. On Wal
loomsac street, Mrs. Daniel Robinson,
has remodeled her home, and it is very
much improved it's covering of yellow,
with white trimmings, contrasts very
prettily with the surrounding green OF
the foliage and the lawns Mr.. John A.
Robinson has also caught the spirit of
improvement, and has followed the same
style of painting, which adds. much to
the cheerfulness of the neighborhood;
we are glad to hear that he has arranged
his business affairs on sound basis, and
wish him abundant prosperity. Coming
along down the Avenue some very good
Arbor Association work has been done
by Harry Patchin, who has that work in
charge this season, Charley Dunn has
furnished some very good object lessons
in landscape gardening, and some of the
neghbors say it costs money to keep up
with him. On the site of the Catamount
tavern, J. V. d. S. Merrills pleasant
home, John Kinney is showing that some
things can be done as well as others. The
Park and the grounds of the "Walloom-
sac" are very attractive, and will be en-
joyed by the summer guests. At "Plyn
Dhu," the home of Mr.. G.. B. Kellogg, a
notable improvement has been made by
the addition of a piazza on the south side
which affords delightful views on the
south and west. Around the monument
the grounds are being put in perfect
order by Martin Cone, and visitors will
be pleased with the surroundings. Speak
ing of the monument, Mr.. Watson the
photographer is erecting a tower on the
northwest, from the top Of which to gel
