This company appeared in Montpelier
last Saturday evening. The Montpelier
Daily Journal speaking of the performance
says:
Those who were in doubt as to whether
the entertainment by Gorton's minstrels, at
the Blanchard opera house last Saturday
evening, would be up to standard had those
doubts dispelled before the conclusion Of
the first part. The singing was way above
par, the jokes were crisp and fresh, and
the finale, "a Night at the Circus" was
ridiculously funny. Pleasing features o.
the second part were the the cornet sole

October /, 1884, and since that time she
and Mr.. Fisher have lived in Bellows Falls,
during the last eight or ten years spending
the winter seasons in Florida. She was a
member of the Episcopal church.
In the death of Mrs. Fisher not only the
immediate friends and relatives but wide
circle of friends to whom she was endeared
by her charming social qualities and loyal
friendship here and in her southern home
have met with personal bereavement
Her face was true index to her character,
fair and pure. She combined all that il
womanly with wide intelligence and cul-
tivation. Education, a well fed mind,
and a fine musical talent were the means OF
contributing largely to her own enjoyment
of life and to the happiness of her friends
She was a brilliant correspondent and her
many advantages OF travel were thus shared
by her friends, some Of whom now look for
ward with aching hearts at their loss. In
her home life she illustrated the charm Of
a helpful, devoted wife and mother. To
her church she was loyal and it is her
highest praise that she fulfilled the duties
nearest her as Christian woman.

One of the interesting features of "Odd
Miss Podd," which is to be presented at
the opera house on Monday, November 9,
by Neil Burgess, is the exciting bicycle
race in the second act in which Mr.. Bur-
CESS scorches in boomers after young man
who he mistakenly imagines has done him
an injury. The bicycles are arranged on
mechanical device which is the invention of
Mr. Burgess and is somewhat similar to the
great horse race scene in "The County
Fair" which is also one of MIR. Burgess
inventions. Another incident is the ascen-
sion made by Mr.. Burgess on flying ma
chine. Mr.. Burgess plays the title role,
that of Miss Podd, and it is said to be the
best part he has portrayed.

Tragic Death of EIbron S. Bowers.

lTdXlS Dcdtu vi ElUTO0 .. DOWeIS.
The people of this town were shocked
yesterday morning to learn by telegram
from Chicago of the suicide of Elbron S.
Bowers who was well know in this vicinity.
The facts so far as we have been able to
learn are these; Mr.. Bowers lived with his
mother Mrs. Mary L. Bowers in Evanston,
ILL.,, suburb OF Chicago. Some three
years ago he was troubled with insanity,
but his recovery was supposed to be COM
plete. One week ago last Saturday he re-
turned from business trip to some mica
mines in North Carolina and his appear
ance and condition was such as to alarm
his mother. While he and his mother were
walking Sunday afternoon, he suddenly
took leave of her and disappeared down a
cross street and his mother saw nothing
more of him until his body was found in
Lake Michigan last Monday, having been
in the water perhaps eight or nine days.
1t is thought that the body will be brought
east for burial.
The Bowers's moved to Bellows Falls
some years ago from Acworth, N. H., and
Mr.. Bowers and one of the children is
buried in Acworth. Mrs. Bowers spends
part of each year here and was in town
for month or more last summer.
The son Elbron was about 81 years of
age and was in the mica business in Evans
ton. He was formerly student in V. A.
and has many friends and acquaintance in
this section.

NORTHERN POTATOES FOR
SEED.

There is a general and justifiable
belief among potato growers that po
tatOes grown far to the North are the
best for seed. They have usually a
short season to grow and ripen in, and
when cold weather comes, it has so lit
tie intermission that there is no chance
for the potatoes to sprout and waste
their vitality before being planted. To
realize these conditions as b-st he may
with potatoes grown on his own farm
should be the aim of the potato grower
who does not wish every year to buy
Northern-grown seed potatoes. By
planting very late his potatoes may be
dug in fall without having been dried
out in the ground after the vines have
been killed by frost. If these potatoes
are then buried in pits, in contact with
the soil, there will be little evaporation
from them until they are uncovered.
If the potatoes are fret covered with
straw, this keeps an air space next to
the potatoes, and they are proportion
ably dried out, That the straw cover
ing is important to keep out frost is
very true, but the straw should be ap-
piled after slight covering of earth,
and then more soil should be piled over
the straw, with perhaps one or more
alternate layers of soil and straw if the
winter is a very severe one. Potatoes
thus pitted will make nearly or q lite
as good seed as that procured from the
North.
