Married Half a Century.

There are two aged couples now liv-
ing in Barnard, we'll known and re-
spected by all, to whose lives more than
ordinary interest attaches. The hus-
bands, Chauncey A, and John Walker,
are brothers, their wives sisters, and
they were married so years ago, on the
same day and by the same clergyman.
1t is doubtful if this bit of history. can
be paralleled in the whole country
surely not in Vermont.
Chauncey A. Walker and Rocira G.
Wood, and John Walker and Rebecca
Boynton Wood We're married on the
24th day of April, 1915, at the home of
Artemus Walker in Bridgewater, father
of the grooms, one of the pioneers of
that town and long resident there.
The ceremony was performed by the
late Elder Jasper Hazen, who walked a
good part of the distance from his home
to that of tho Walkers, i'll company
with Lorenzo Richmond, in order to
keep his appointment to unite the
couples. AS was the custom in those
days, each couple in turn ''stood up
with the other.
Chauncey Walker, like his brother
John, has beer a farmer all his life. He
was born in Brldgewater March 10,
1920. His wife was born October %,
1918. They moved to Barnard in 1855
and occupy to this day the farm pur-
chased at that time of Lorenzo Rich
mond, which had been in the Rich
mond family for two generations or
more. They have had two children,
Forrest Almerian, who was born in
1S49 and died IN 1875, and Laura Eve
line, the wife of Lucian A. Richmond,
now living in Barnard. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker live alone in a large house in
South Barnard. Mrs. Walker is not in
very good health, but her husband is
quite vigorous.
John Walker was born in Bridge
water in November, 1915, and his wife
in July of the same year. They lived
in BridgeWa alter until 1857, then came
to East Barnard. Three children have
been born to them-two sons, Dana
Boardman, now living in Hartland,
and Herbert Alfonso, a resident of Bar
nard, and one daughter, Delight, who
died at the age of 20.
The mother of the Walkers was Betsy
Thompson, cousin Of the late Ovid
Thompson.
The wives, it will be seen, were both
little older than their husbands.
Their mother was Rebecca Boynton,
whose home was in Jeffrey, N. H., and
their father, Ebenezer Wood, tended d
grist mill iu BridgeWater for a number
of years. Age.

Vermont and New York.

One of the brightest speeches made
at the latest reunion of the Sons of Yer
mont in Brooklyn, n. Y, was by Mr..
McKelway of the Brooklyn Eagle. As
a Democrat and editor of Democratic
Iaper, he of course could not altoget her

monters to the Republican party. He
would like to see-what he will not
soou See-Vermont 60 Democratic occa-
sionally, like New York. But much of
what he said was well said, aud is
worth recalling. He said:
"In some respects New York is desir-
ably differe.-t from Vermont. The
Green Mountain state shows a con-
stancy and a consistency in her sincere
adhesion 10y "A maj ,rity of her voters to

always been one-sided in her pplilics,

Insurance Business in Vermont.

Secretary of State G. w. Brownell
and State Treasurer 81. F. Field, who
are the slate insurance com missioners,
have kindly furnished advanced sheets
of their annual report to the governor
under date of June l, 1895. The report
is for the year ending December 81,
1894, and summary of the transac-
tons of the fire companies, domestic
and foreign, for this period discloses the
following facts;
Total risks written in Vermont
in 1894 $50, 125, 077.00
AS against in the previous
year 1859, oo4.OO
Total premiums received
in 1894 1853, 429.77
The same item in 1898 7o4, 326.39
Losses paid in 1894 535, 628 30
Losses paid in 1888 527, 621 ~
Increase for 1894 5S,O06 SO
Losses incurred in 1894 1851 81
The same item reported
for 1898 563, 143. SO
Thus it will be seen that the fire
losses in the state for 1894 were greater
by $153, 427.33 than that of the previous
year.
The losses incurred for the past year
eQudlleO nearly IA per ceul Ol lOtdl pre-
miums received, leaving a margin Of
only over 6 per cent on the aggregate
business, for expenses, taxes, and
profits. OF the 40 companies of other
states and countries doing business in
Vermont, 20 suffered losses in excess Of
total premiums received. In one in
stance the percentage of loss to pre-
miums amounting to 170.5, while the
gre Attest is shown by company that
collected premiums amounting TO
S2769 and suffered losses amounting to
$4,000. When it is remembered that
35 per cent of premium receipts is con-
sidered fair average for expenses, it
will readily be seen that Vermont un-
derwriting, as a whole, has been far
from profitable during the year. While
the experience in this state has been So
disastrous, the situation in the country
at large shows an improvement over

The total fire losses in the United

of party forces, this state has not failed
to so overwhelmingly Republican
whenever the denotements and the
candidates of the Democratic party
have been unsatisfactory to the moral
sense of the people. Had Vermont
this political fieXlbility, then would
her salvation be nearer than when she
first began to believe what she has ever
continued to believe, that a difference
of opinion is form of moral obliquity
and that political mutation is the mod
ern meaning Of the old theological
notion of the objectionable sin.

Life.Saying Service.

The annual report of the United
States Life saving Service for 1894.
Just issued from the Government
Printing Office, is an interesting
volume and gives some figures of the
operations of the service in saving
life and property which at first sight
seem remarkable. At the close of the
fiscal year the total number of sta
lions in the life-saving establishment
was PAT. Of this number 1872 were
situated on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, 81 on the coasts of the great
lakes, is on the Pacific coast and
at the Falls of the Ohio, Louisvillve,
Kentucky.
The district officers report that
there were 3S2 disasters TO document
ed vessels within the field of life
saving operations. The aggregate
number of persons on board of these
vessels was 4,025, of whom 81
persisted.
The estimated value of the vessels
was $6,S72, 705. aud that of their
cargoes $2,972,S55, making the total
of property involved S9,S45, $50. OF
this amount 1864, 430 was saved and
So, 191, $50 lost.
The number of vessels totally lost
was 81.
There were also during the year
214 casualties to small undocumented
crafts, on which there were ACT per-
sons, of whom were lost. The value
of the property involved in these
cases is estimated at $109,S10, of
which $50, O45 was saved and 1874, 7G5
lost.

of the report and Mr.. NJ ]. W. Le-
Cato has been selected by them as
the standard bearer for the fight
which they are making against you.
In the silent vigils of the night, while
we slept, the colored people Of both
counties, have met, endorsed him
and will he at the polls for him on
next Tuesday. Such a message at
least, we have received and fore
warned, we hope, you will be aroused
from your apathy and be prepared
on next Tuesday, election day, to do
your full duty. To convince you OF
the Importance of action in the mat
ter and to arouse you to sense of your
duty it hardly seems necessary to
refresh your memory with evils OF
Republicanism. The Civil Rights
Bill, which they have passed in some
of the States, the iniauitous Force
Bill, which they tried to impose upon
us in years past, the Federal supervi-
sion and control of elections, which
they advocated and with which they
would have enslaved us, has not been
forgotten by you and commands you
to see that no Republican shall be
placed on guard, who if true to that
party, must be in sympathy with
these Ubiquitous measures and vote
for them. Go to the polls, Demo-
Gratis. Accomac must not lose by
apathy the proud distinction which
she bears, as the banner Democratic
county in the State.
