OBITUARY.
DEATH OF HORACE K1NasBURY.

Horace Kingsbury, who died Tuesday at
the home of p. S. Eames on Harris place,
was a native of Halifax, where he was born
Feb. %, 1926, and had numerous relatives
inthis vicinity. He married Mardelia,
daughter of Benjamin Eames of Halifax.
and sister of Prescott Egmes. After their
marriage they lived for a time in Whiting
ham and in Shelburne, Mass, and nearly
40 years ago went west, being among the
early settlers in Minnesota Their first
visit east was made five years ago, when,
with relatives and friends here they cele-
brated their 10th wedding anniversary.
Seven children have been born to them,
but none are living, all having died of
diphthera. The two oldest children were
buried in one grave, and later four chill
dren and two grandchildren, their entire
family, died at their home within five weeks.
Mr. Kingsbury was an active and promi-
nent man who had held positions of trust.
Three years ago a severe attack of grip
left him in a very broken condition,
and last fall he sold his farm in Lenora,
Mimi, and Mr.. Eames, going on to assist,
in the closing up of his business affairs,
brought Mr.. and Mrs. Kingsbury to
his home here, where they have since
lived. Funeral services were held yester
day at ? p. NJ, Rev. Mr.. Day officiating,
and Mrs. Lima Hubbard singing. The
body was placed in the tomb and will soon

THE VALLEY FAIR.
4 Large = Tendance and Lots of En-
thusiasm At the Annual Meeting.


1t takes pretty healthy kind of euthu-
siasm to last the year round, but that APP
pears to be the way with the Valley Fair
enthusiasm. There was large attendance
larger than in any previous ycar-at the
annual meeting of the directors and other
officers held at the Brooks House last Satur-
day, with all parts of the county and ad-
joining New Hampshire towns represent
ed. Everybody was cheerful over the
great success of last year, and cheerful and
confident, and ready to work for still
greater success this year.
The meeting was called to order soon af-
ter II o'clock and the usual committees
appointed to nominate officers and report
on premiums, judges, etc. Mine Host Ty-
Ter served complimentary dinner, which
was enjoyed by company of about 20.
On reassembling after dinner the commit
tees reported, the old board of officers was
reelected and there was an hours friendly
discussion on various points of manage
ment, and on the policy to be followed for
this years exhibition. The date of the
fair was fixed for Wednesday and Thurs
day, Sept. 26 and 27. The only drawback
to the occasion was that Col. Hooker re-
fused to guarantee pleasant weather for
these days. Truth cOmpels lis to say that
he thought the auguries were against them,
but it is our opinion that he was simply
hedging, having in remembrance the un-
interrupted series of good days for the past
eight years.
When the subject of improvements for
the coming year was brought up there was
a full and frank expression, and it was
UNANIMOUSLY agreed That, as matter of
wise policy, no new buildings should De
erected, nor additions made, and that the
expenditures should be kept within the
amount necessary TO make proper repairs
ana Keep everything in good condition.
Up 10 TINS time every dollar OF receipts
mas Oeen put INTO the permanent plant,
ana although every exhibition has been
financial success, and last year was the
most so OF all, there IS small debt re-
naming. Inc ASSOCIATION cannot hope TO
be continuously and invariably a. tortu-
nate III the matter OF weather As 1t has

prepare within reasonable bounds, for

over that, not cent OF dividend having

Mrs. Louise X. Dyer, mother of Mrs. II.
b. Larkin of this place, whose funeral oc-
Cured on Tuesday at the home of her
daughter, was a woman of unusual sim
plicity and grace of character. Although
for many years, on account OF permanent
illness affecting the brain, resident at the
Brattle5oro Retreat, yet the strong trust
full, and hopeful elements of the Christian
life, so strikingly revealed in the carefully
preserved letters of her early days, were
not dimmed nor changed as the years passed
away, but came forth in many clear and
happy hour in the place of her abode, or in
occasional cherished visits at the home of
her children, one of which she enjoyed but
a few weeks before her death. She was a
regular and interested attendant at the
religious services at the Retreat. She was
personally a woman of much dignity of
bearing, with face especially strong and
S Teet, which in death betOkened the peace
of heart at rest, and heavenly home en-
tered. She had attained the age of 76
years. Her final sickness was very brief.

Mitchell twice with blows in the neck and

A NATIVE OF BRATTLEBoRo.

The Catskill, n. Y, Examiner gives an
account of the death of VIM. Harris Crosby,
who was one of the coolest and most re-
spected citizens" of that place. Mr. Crosby
was native of Brattleboro, and descend
ant of the well-known family of that name
who settled originally on the hill in West
BrattlebOro, on the road now known as
Potato lane. His father was Elkanah
Crosby, and his mother was Flavia Harris
Crosby, a sister of the Rev. Roswell Harris,
who was for years preceptor of the old
Brattleboro academy. On the mothers
side he was a cousin of Judge VIM. S.
Newton and on the fathers side cousin
of Mrs DR.. Putnam. The family removed
to Albany, n. Y, when he was three years
old, and seven years later to Catskill,
where he had ever since lived. The En-
aminer's notice says: Gle learned the car
penter's trade, serving such an apprentice
ship as was required at the time and which
resulted in making him a proficient and
finished workman, so that even up to with
in the last year of his life he took pride in
the skill with which he could use the tools
peculiar to his handicraft. In September,
1888, he was married to Abigail Oliver,
and their peaceful married life covered a
span of more than 80 years, which is
broken by his death. Three children were
born to them, but one of whom, a daugh-
ter, survives. The influence of
his quiet, cheerful and neighborly example
will be felt in Catskil for many years to
come

Gathering at the Congregational
Church.

The people of the Congregational church
enjoyed very pleasant gathering together
last Friday afternoon and evening, the oc-
casion being the opening of the mite boxes
that were distributed last year. In the
afternoon the benevolent society held its
annual business meeting, after which
bountiful supper was served to a large
company. In the evening addresses were
made by Rev. G. II. Merrill, secretary of
the Vermont Domestic Home Missionary
society, who was unexpectedly present,
and Rev. G.. II. Gutterson of Boston, dis
trict secretary of the A. NJ. A. Mr.. Mer-
rll spoke of the work being done in our
own state, mentioning much that was
hopeful and encouraging. He was follow
ed by Mr.. Gutterson, who dwelt for a little
time, in his own strong, enthusiastic man,
ner, upon some of the weak spots in our
country and ways to strengthen them,
closing with an earnest appeal for charaC-
ter building, which is the one thing God
has placed us here for.
1t was gratifying to note that, in spite
of the times and the fact that the mite
boxes were called in earlier than is Gus
tomary, the amount raised equaled that
of previous years.

ON THE LoITER.
4 NIGHT STORM.


1t was too hot to loiter much
that afternoon, in fact, the sultry
calm extended far into the night.
Off to the northwest, the fierce
weather god was flashing his blind
ing eye in rapid, silent succession.
Even the occasional blush, jagged
streak that seemed to cleave the
dark sky and expose the bowels Of
some seething hell, was unaccom-
panied by the accustomed thunder.
A light, cool breeze from the oppo-
site quarter, the southeast, begins
to gently sweep over the country.
Then follows another calm, shorter
but far more intense than the pre-
vious one. Restlessly l push the
covering from my cot, which
stands upon the gallery. From
within the adjoining room, comes
mothers half-sighed warning to
the sleeping household, "How op-
pressive. 'Fraid there4l be a
storm"
Then off in the distance comes
a roar. The milder Hastings of the
lightning are almost indiscern-
ible, while the binding streaks are
subdued and tanned indeed, by the
cloud Of dust and dirt that the
northwest gale drives before it.
Nearer and louder the storm roar
grows.
"Heavens The storm! The
windows, the blinds! Frank, Jim,
Sue, get up! Close the windows

Called Him Down.

Some electrical workers at the
Jockey club grounds yesterday
were insulted by one of the horse
men as he was driving on the
course. They dropped a wire across
the track in front of his horse, and
as he came up they dropped an
other wire behind him. Thus
hemmed in he could not get his
horse out and then they asked him
which of the three he wanted to
try at Queensbury rules first, to
emphasize his remarks. He de-
cided he wanted none of it and
apologized.

Sold Rotten Fruit.

Officer McCabe found small
boy yesterday on his beat who
had two rotten melons in his pos
session. The lad said he had
bought them of man IN a wagon
and was going to eat them.
The melons were so very much
decayed that the officer lodged
complaint in the office against the
farmer who sold the child the veg
etables and he will be arrested
when he again comes to the city.
