The concert and dance given in Armory
Hall last evening by the members of Com
pany III, n. G. ", proved not only fnan-
cial success but also a brilliant musical and
social event. The hall was tastefully dec
GRATED with flags bunting etc, and the at
tendance, both at the concert and dance that
followed, was gratifyingly large. The Profile
House orchestra under the management OF
George FL. Wilder, with Signor Placido
Finmara as leader, gave delightful concert
from eight to half past nine, after which :.
dance programme of twelve numbers and
several extras engaged the attention of
company of young people till two o'clock

HARVEY s. WILEY died last Friday after
noon at the home of Orin c. Wiley, his
son, on East State street, aged eighty-fourr
years. His death was due to shock of
apoplexy received that morning. For
about thirty-nve years, MIR. Wiley was a re-
spected and esteemed citizen of Northfeld,
coming to Montpelier about year ago,
after the death of his wife, to reside with
his son. He also leaves one daughter Mrs
Dudley G. Nichols of this city. His funeral
was held last Sunday morning from the
residence of his son, Rev. DR.. Norman
Seaver officiating, and the body was taken
mains OF his wife, The attendance Of
neighbors and friends at the funeral was
large, and the floral offerings were many
and beautiful. Deceased had been life
long republican, and to the day of his
death took an active and intelligent inter
est in the success of the republican cause
He desired to live to cast one more vote for
a republican president, but, to him, sudden
death was instant and eternal gain.
RARE indeed is it in any city or commu-
nifty, except in cases of malignant conta-
gious diseases, for death to claim father
mother ana daughter within the space Of
four months, as has been the case in the
family of the late DR.. j. E. Maconlber.
The friends Of Mrs. Macomber were not
surprised, last Friday morning, to hear that
she was gone, as no hopes of her recovery
have been entertained for weeks. At the
time of her husbands death, ten days pre-
vious to hers, her condition was so critical
that the knowledge of his decease was kept
from her. Mrs Macomber's maiden name
was Marcella l.. Ladd of Worcester. She
was married TO DR.. Macomber in 1858
Since 1860, when they came to Montpelier
TO reside, she has gathered about her a
large circle of friends. Several months ago
she had a severe attack of rheumatic fever,
from which she never recovered. The SYM
pathy OF the entire city goes out in very
large measure to the surviving daughter,
Miss Mary, and to the son. George, whose
home has be- so relentlessly broken up.
Mrs, Macomber's funeral was held last
Sunday afternoon from her late home, Rev.
DR.. Norman Seaver officiating, and the
burial was in the family lot in Green Mount
Cemetery.
A FoUR-wEEKs'. OLD girl baby was found last

W. Parmenter, overseer of the poor, was
summoned and he had the child placed

honon arrested rs accessory to the crime.
On being taken into court, the girl broke
down and confessed that she placed the in
fant there She said she went to Boston
and got the child in response an adver-
tisement in the Boston Sunday Globe, of
August 30, of person who wished to dis
pose of the child. She had in her posses
sion letters substantiating her statement.
The hearing was adjourned until Friday.
On that day, t. j. Deavitt, counsel for Miss
