He is pleasing, interesting, pathetic, dra-
matte, instructive, eloquent. We shall
have to have larger hall if he comes here
again.
Mendelsohn, Handel and Hayden will
none of them be present at the Orleans
County Musical Festival at New o., Feb.
81. Circumstances wholly beyo.d their
control. will prevent. But everybody else
is going-that is to say, everybody in IS
section who likes music, can spare the
time, etc. Aren't you to be one of the
number? 'Come at the start-stay to the
finish" Special attention to the Home

D. T. Johnson of No. Troy, who has a
son and daughter living in this village, was
here last week on visit. His son, who
has been in the law Office of T. w Baldwin
for some months past as an assistant and
student, thinks of going to Encsburgh
Falls, where there is a good opening for a
lawyer. Mr.. johnson has been efficient in
his work and studious in the things of
the law while here and we bespeak success
for him in the future.
Homer Ell. Webster, who has been in the
National bank here for nearly four years,
has been offered position in the First Ma
tianal bank at Bennington and went there
last week. Mr.. Webster has been very
faithful and efficient young man in the
bank and his geniality and integrity
have won the favor and respect Of bank
patrons and of the people. He has been a
f1JT hpr of 10
and of the Cong. Sunday school, serving as
superintendent at different times. He is
one of those young men whose influence
for good is felt wherever he may be. We
wish him abundant success.
1t is sometimes a wonder, and not I'M
frequently disappointment to some, that
the local paper does not report all the I'M
savory and unfortunate things which oc-
cur in the community. The world has not
yet reached that state of purity and excel
lence when it will do to tell all that oc-
ours. There is really SO much of mischief,
temper, passion, rascality and sin in the
world that somebody is doing wrong all of
the time To make bad deeds more public
is often harmful in itself, and it is certain
ly grievous to friends, who, sorrOWing
over a misfortune they are powerless to
overcome, are made to blush all the more if
the matter is exploited in the newspaper.
The people of this village and vicinity
remember that for some years Louis Young
resided in this village, owning and occu-
plying the shop and building now occupied
by Chas. Graves. Among Mr.. YOung's
children was son, Alfred, who was very
bright, gentlemanly, intelligent young
man. After obtaining a good academic
education he chose the profession of
physician. He entered McGill college in
Montreal, where he received his diploma.
Some six or eight years ago he went West,
and located in Buffalo, No. Dakota, where
he established himself in his profession,
md where he had built up a good practice.
Dec. %, he was called a short distance out
INTO the country to attend patient, a
arge and powerful man, who had sudden
" become violently insane. There We're
no men folks at the house, the wife, d
1augh liter, the insane man and the doctor
being all who were about the premises.
The doctor kindly addressed his patient,
put received no reply from him. He dis
covered the condition of the wild man and
some medicine, The door to
he sick mans room had been closed and
himself and the doctor were the only per-
ons in it. Suddenly the women folks
heard heavy blow and the doctor rushed
nto the room followed by the insane man,
Who pursued him with a large club, strik-
ng him as he went out of the door. Mr..
Young fell to the ground, where the infu-
lated man beat him SO death, literally
)eating out his brains. The women ran
behind the house and escaped to neigh |
,or's, where they told the tale of the muir
Ter. AS soon as possible help arrived from
he town and the mutilated corpse was |
ound and cared for. DR.. Young had not
,nly built up good practice, but was run
ling drug store, and had recently built |
good hotel, which his wife was conduct
ng at the time of his death. The local |
,aper speaks in high terms of the useful
less and character of DR.. Young. He |
caves stricken wife and brother, Henry,
n the West, father and brother in Hard
wick and brother in Springfield, Mass.
The sympathy of many friends in Vermont
will go out toward his friends. DR.. Young
vas about "a years of age.
