- Elam Ellithorpe, an old and we'll known citizen, died at his home on East Main-st. last Thursday. He had spent long and active life in this his native town, erecting many buildings, including a number of dwellings, which he owned. His activity was terminated a few years ago by stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered, though able to be about the streets. He was born in Stafford in 1919, and was son of Alvin FL lithorpe, whose homestead farm gave name to the flag station oi "Ellithorpe's" on the Central Vermont railroad. MT. Ellithorpe leaves a considerable family of children, both sons and daughters, some living in other towns and states.

 Can any of the readers of The Press tell who Lorenzo Snow is? If so, please publish it in The Press, and oblige one who is mystified. Last October two we'll dressed gentlemen Con foot) called at house in the north part of Stafford, and inquired the way to the Springs. They said they came from Wales. They left tract, entitled "The Only Way to be Saved. By Lorenzo Snow, one of the Twelve Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Latter Day Saints." It begins with that immersion is the only bap- tism, and advocates the laying on of hands. That people caunot be saved un- less MT. s. baptizes them, and lays his hands upon them. It cries out against ministers that are paid for preaching the gospel. It ends like an Advent, and says 'The day of the Lord is at hand" Sup posing any one should a0G7Dt to be saved, if there is no other way, they will fare rather slim if they can't find Lorenzo Snow.
