j, E. Denton, now OF East Brookfeld, a
travelling man for McCannon Brothers,

charge of intoxication. His fine and costs
were SOIL
Charles II. Beckett, now Of New York
city, arrived here last Wednesday morning

Our community was startled and sad
dened by the news OF the sudden death OF
Mrs Brock s. Flint in Montpelier last
week. In residence, in our village, be-
fore going to Montpelier, Mrs. Flint had
won for herself the very kindly regard OF
those who knew her.
Andrew Burnham went to Hanover, N.
H., last week Monday, accompanied by DR..
l.. W. Hanson of Barre. The operation
upon his eye-consisting OF the removal Of
flmy growth over the sight-was success
fully performed the same day. He is ex-
pected home this week.
One of our former citizens has returned to
the North after stay of some months in
the South, two of which were spent on the
western coast of Florida. She thinks the
climate on this coast "An ideal one. There
may be better one in the world, but see
no object in having better one"
Ellen Dudley Moore Crane daughter OF
Charles Crane, formerly of this town but
now of Dexter, Iowa, was married, July 8, to
Professor Homer r. Miller, I'M "A, superin-
tendent of the schools of Elk Point, &c.
Oak. The event, according to local paper
was celebrated in a delightful manner at
the home of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Miller
are now in the East, and will doubtless
visit this Mr.. Cranes native place ere their
return to the West in September. Eastern
friends will join with troops OF friends in
the West in congratulations and hearty
good wishes.
1t would seem to be due to the no small
amount of grit that the veteran Christopher
Hood possesses that he carries two arms at
the present time. On the second day of the
battle of the Wilderness, in the late War OF
the Rebellion, he was wounded in the right
arm, and in due time taken to hospital in
Washington, d. G. Erysipelas having set
in, the arm grew worse to such an extent
that the surgeon in charge decided that his
life depended on amputation of it, so
stretcher was sent to carry him to the oper-
ating table. But such was the determined
opposition on the part OF Mr.. Hood to this
proceeding that he was allowed his own
way, and to-day he has an arm that is much
better than no arm, and which serves him
him finely in his work as householder.
