gone up in flame and smoke to make room
for the new building. 1t was built in 1855.
A meeting was held in it December II to
hear a report from the building committee,
and to see If the town would authorize
them to borrow sufficient sum for remain
ing expenses of finishing and furnishing
it. The committee and the contractor,
Joel Billiard, had done their work well :
all are gone now but Mr.. Goodhue; but
still there was opposition. Finally, after
much debate, the committee were author
lied to- borrow $500 for finishing and
furnishing the house and it was completed.
When done it was an appropriate and
handsome structure, admired by outsiders,
and a source of pride for the town. For
40 years it stood without alteration, repair
or sign of decay on the outside, or but lit
tie alteration within.
Its use during these 40 years was not
confined to municipal purposes; but state
conventions, grand concerts and theatrical
shows were held in the great hall; and the
county clerks office, lawyers offices, book

Judge MheeIer,s Address.

| have been asked to say something here
about former places of holding own meet
ings.
This town was organized on the first
Tuesday, which was the first day, of
March, 1868, probably at the house of
John Arms, which stood about where the
Retreat farmhouse stands. There were
about 60 voters, seven of whom lived
about old Fort Dummer, and from there to
William Kings, where Lorenzo Thayer's
farm is; 10 lived north of West river: and
the rest northwest of Armss. There was
grist mill and saw mill on MILESTONE
brook at the bridge, at which no one lived.
and no one lived between Cemetery hill
and MI. Armss. John Arms was the
moderator, DR.. Henry Wells was made
clerk, Samuel Wells supervisor. They had
no selectmen. Other officers required by
the laws of the province of New York
were chosen, and thus the organization
was accomplished.
A church had been begun, of which
most of the voters had become members.
and in that same season they built a house
for town and religious meetings. When
the township was surveyed six acres were
reserved out of the lot on top of the hill
north of Centreville for public purposes:
and the house was set on that reservation,
No road led TO the place; all was forest
about it, but little Elizabeth Wells had
been buried there three years before
The house was built just south of the
west part of the cemetery in what is now
the open field. 1t was framed; was long
est east and west, and fronted south. A
road was built to it from the north at that
time coming up on the vest side of the
cemetery; one was built from the east,
coming to it across the common; one was
built from the south, coming to it on the
west side of the common; and one from
the west coming directly to it from the
northwest corner of the common. Ben
jamin Butterfeld, jr., a carpenter, built
himself house in the corner between the
north and west roads, and took a license
as retailer; Abner Scovel, farmer, built
house between the south and west roads;
DR.. Henry Wells, the only physician then,
lived where Mr.. Capen does; and the min
lister, Abner Reeve, just east of where Mr..
Brown now lives, on the road coming from
the east. William McCune, a farmer,
lived where the buildings have lately been
burnt, and Oliver Cook the blacksmith,
beyond him on the road coming from the
north. Here in this house town and reli-
gious meetings were held, and this was the
middle of the town till 1856.
In the year that the Westinghouse was
built William Harris came and settled

A SUCCESSFUL TRAPPBR.

Frank u. Blood OF HOughtOnviIIe Has
Been in the Business IL Years and
Now Has Oh Hand 1000 Fox, Mink,
Muskrpt aud skunk Skins.
The most successful trapper of southern
Vermont is Frank d. Blood, 3S, who lives
in the hamlet known as Houghtonville in
the northern part of Grafton. Blood has
made business of trapping, buying and
selling furs the past Is years, He says:
"From boy | was always interested in
trapping, and - years ago l began to make
it specially. At the close of my first
year the result was so favorable that
have done nothing else since. l had only
p traps, aud from these had p foxes, -
skunks, "a coons, five mink and five or six
muskrats. To my first y traps l have
added, till now | have 220, in Windham,
Springfield, Townshend, Grafton and
Rockingham. My route extends over %
miles, and | can visit my traps only twice
a week.
"If the bill should be passed which has
been presented to the legislature of Yer
mont, by the society for prevention of cru
city to animals, it will hurt our business
badly, because it will oblige us to visit
traps once in "A hours and even more
often, while now on account of the deep
SHOWS it is som etimes weeks before we
visit some of our traps.
-Four years ago was probably the big
gest year for foxes we have had. One day
| brought in five foxes and the next day
six, which is unusual. That year in all
got about 80 foxes. Each year | average
100 skunks, "a foxes, II coons and five or
six miuk, and this year, so far, have cap
tured one wildcat, 9S skunks, 30 foxes, six
mink and six coons, while as result of
my trading | have on hand 1900 skunks,
80 mink, 200 foxes and 225 muskrats. For
foxskin we usually get 81. 40; for a skunk,
40 or so cents; mink, $50; coon, 10 cents I;
and muskrat about 10 cents. Most of
my furs are sent to Boston.
1.-The season usually begins about the
middle of October and lasts till April. The
principal aim is for foxes, and more espec-
tally for the kind of foxes whose skins are
more valuable, like the silver gray fox;
however, one of these is uncommon. The
warmer the location the more foxes; es-
pecially is this so where there is a spring
that seldom freezes.
There is one place where | have al
ways had great luck" said Mr.. Blood.
"The trap is in lot of bushes near an I'M
usually warm place, in brook, and in this
one trap l have caught more than so foxes.
ut takes great deal of coaxing to get
fox into the trap or even near one, and
we lose many fine ones simply because
they seem to know that something has
been conspiring with nature.
"We have, probably, the best chance of
anyone to learn the habits and ways of all
these little animals, and all trappers know
that the cunning of the fox is something to
be looked out for"

Charles II. Pierce, a Chester farmer,
spends the winter months as a trapper In
a recent interview he said: 81 began trap
ping ten years ago, when l was but Is
years old. The first year had about 125
traps, which l had placed in this town, An
dover, Springfield and Ludlow. This
number | have increased each year, and
now have about 200 of the ordinary steel
traps, and | have never changed my route
in the ten years. 1t takes me three days
to go the rounds and visit each trap, but
the trip is usually made twice a week. The
catch this season is as good as the average.

MISCELLANY.
NV Books.


What matter though my room be small
Though red this light lamp looks
On nothing but paper wall
And some few rows of booksy
For in my hand hold key
That opens golden doors;
At whose resstless sesame
A tide of sunlight pours
In from the basking lawns that lie
Beyond the boundary wall:
Where summer brOOdS eternally,
Where the cicadae call.
There all the landscape softer is,
There greener tendrils twlne.
The bowers are lcoped with clematis,
With briony and vine.
There pears and golden apples hang,
There falls the honey dew,
And there the birds that morning sang
When all the world was new.
Beneath the oaks Menalcas woos
Arachnia's nut-brown eyes;
And still the laughing fawn pursues,
And still the wood nymph flies.
And you may hear young Orpheus there
Come singing through the wood,
Or catch the CLEAN of golden hair
In dams solitude.
So when the world is all awry,
When life is out of chime,
take this key of gold and fly
To that serener cline.
To those fair sunlt lawns that lie
Beyond the boundary wall,
Where summer broods eternally
And youth is over all.

New York Insurance Man Says
Democratic CHANGES Arc Good.

a gentleman in this city received let
ter yesterday from an official of one of
the best known insurance companies in
New York. In which II was stated that
the success Of Bryan and Sewall in New
York city was regarded by the well-In-
formed of both parties as foregone
conclusion. Ever since the great Bryan
meeting in Madison Square Garden, 1t
has been plain to his friends and enemies
alike, that the Nebraskan's hold upon
the voters of the Metropolis was strong
enough TO insure him majority in the
city.
The letter referred to further stated
that Democratic chances in the State
were extremely bright, and that the
probabilities of New York's going for
the National Democratic ticket were new
er better. 1t Is a well known fact that
the farmer vote of the State usually Re
publican. is now for Bryan and Sewall
overwhelmingly. This condition of af-
fairs is fully appreciated by the Re-
publicans. as is evidenced by remark
made to Mark Hanna q few day. ago
by q member of the Republican National
Committee who had just returned from n
tour through the agricultural districts OF
the State, TO the effect that New York
was rotten with free silver" Without
adopting his words TO indicate the enthu-
s.asm of the farmers for Bran and the
white metal, !; is pretty safe. in view
of all reports, to depend upon New York
to return good, safe majority for the
Democratic ticket in November.
