A ROMANCE in real life came to light on
Berlin side Monday evening. Forty years
ago Charles Cummings, son of John l..
since that time his friends and relatives
have not heard from him, and had long
mourned him as dead. He returned Mon
day evening and went to the home of AL
vim Cummings, his brother, but was obliged
to establish his identity before his brother
or aged mother could recognize him. When
Mrs, Cummings was made to realize that
her long lost son was indeed with her again,
pathetic scene ensued that would have
brought tears from eyes unused to weeping.
Mr.. Cummings has been in the British
army and navy nearly all the forty years he
has been absent, and is now retired sur
geon in that service, and stationed at the
Bermudas. He finds few familiar faces in
Montpelier.
THE October number of the Vermonter is
devoted largely to the thriving town and
village of Randolph, and is illustrated with
seventy-fve cuts of residences in that vii
lage and surrounding scenery. The recent
visit of President Mckinley to Isle La Mott
forms the subject Of several artistic illustra-
tons, accompanied by very readable arti-
Gle from the pen Of Editor Forbes. The
January number of the Vermonter will be
devoted largely to Montpelier. Hon. Hiram
A. Huse is to write for it a history OF Mont
pelier which will be illustrated by one hun
dred cuts, including about forty of the fin
est residences in the city, also the public
buildings and bits of scenery surrounding
the capital. 1t will be the same style as the
Randolph edition only more elaborate, and
will be anticipated with much interest by
the people in this vicinity.

ton via the Montpelier and Wells River
