.DR. GEORGE b. Tw1TCHELL.
DEATH OF Strong and Good Man in
skeene, N. II.


A man who has left his mark upon our
neighboring section and community of
southwestern New Hampshire in a very
strong, enduring and beneficent way, pass
ed away Tuesday morning in the death of
DR.. George b. Twitchell of Keene, n. II.
For period of 30 years DR.. Twitchell had
been in a very real sense the "goOd physi-
cian' of Cheshire county, and he had also
been man who fulfilled in a very true
way the American ideal of good citizenship.
DR.. Twitchell was born in Petersburg. Va.
in 1920, but came North to be educated,
studied medicine with his uncle, DR.. Amos
Twitchell of Keene, a man of pioneer fame
in his profession of medicine and surgery.
The younger Twitchell began the practice
of his profession in Keene in 1S43 in con-
nectiOn with his uncle, and in 1S4Q, upon
his uncle's death, he succeeded to his
practice, and by his skill and hard work
confirmed, and strengthened, and broaden
ed the good repute of the family name in
the profession of medicine and surgery
In 1862 DR.. Twitchell enlisted as a surgeon
in one of the New Hampshire regiments,
and was successfully promoted until in
March, 1868, President Lincoln commits
stoned him a surgeon of United States vol
unteers with the rank of major He was
assigned to the position of surgeon-in-chief
of two divisions of the 18th army corps in
the department of Tennessee, and after
wards Joined Grants army before Vicks-
burg. His arduous and devoted work over
taxed his strength and in October, 1868,
he resigned and came home apparently at
the point of death.
Alter his recovery he resumed the prac-
tice of medicine and surgery, and to this
his life has since been devoted. Few coun-
try physicians have ever had so wide
cllentage, and few have enjoyed such rela-
tons OF confidence and personal friendship
and respect with people of all classes and
conditions of life to which they have been
called to minister. But Dr. Twitchell was
much more than physician. He was a
man of uubounded public spirit giving un-
sparngly of time, strength and means to
any object which approved itself TO his
judgment and awakened his sympathy.
In the days of his greatest activity he
was tower OF strength IN religious moral
and philanthropic movements in the Kcene
community. A man of the kindliest spirit he
was fearless and outspoken in his beliefs
and cOnvlcuus, and could champion an IN
popular cause without fnchug. and also
without prejudice. or malice. or bitterness.
He was the founder and organizer of the
Elliot city hospital and had held many pc
stions of responsibility in the line OF his
profession. He was a Unitarian In his
religious belief. and was identified IN a
broad and active way with the work of that
church. Dr.. TwitcheH leaves two sons
and two daughters. The sons are Dr. Geo.
J. Twtchel of Greenfield, Mass. and Dr.
Edward T. T~itchell of Ashmout.. Mass.
The latter married several years ago. Liz
zIe Schuster, the granddaughter of Mrs.
Addison Brown of this village.

Campaign Amenities.

The late presidential campaign lent adj
ditional piquancy to a political anecdote
of the Montana congressional election
two years ago.
Mr. Corbett was the democratic candi-
date and Mr.. Smith his popuist oppo-
nent. 1t appears that one day, in their
campaign, they travelled short distance
in company. They had very interest
ing conversation, and in consequence Mr..
Smith was compelled to leave the car
hurriedly when his station was reached.
He caught up one Of the two travelling
bags in the seat in front and rushed out.
A few miles further on Mr.. Corbett left
the train, taking the other bag. He
reached his hotel without noticing any
thing unusual. The following telegram,
however, was waiting for him:
~ have the wrong bag. Contains plug of
tobacco, bottle of whiskey, six-shooter, and
democratic platform. Is it yours?
SMITH"
Mr.. Smith was about to open his meet
ing when the following rush" telegram
was handed to him:
"I, too, have wrong bag. Contains Treat
Use on Dynamite picture of Mary Ellen
Lease, and bundle OF hay marked collateral
security Is it yours? CoRBETT"

Scientific Notes.

The whole subject OF the methods by
which seeds are distributed is attracting
considerable attention just now. 1t
seems almost impossible to construct any
general law by which to explain the rea-
son for things in nature. 1t does seem,
for instance, safe to say that wings are
given to seeds to enable them to fly far
away from the parent tree, and thus ex-
tend the area of territory occupied by the
species. But in many OF the large-seeded
pines-the linden and others-the hollow
seeds are the only ones blown away.
The solid perfect seeds remain around the
parent tree. The DIRECTORS everything
argue that wings are given to ian out
the light, useless material But this
surely cannot always be.
In so dry a region as Central Australia
frogs are found in fair numbers, creeks
and clay-paus "swarming" with them.
AS the waters dry up the frogs disappear
in their burrows, remaining till the rains
come again. Certain species OF Them
says Spencer, gorge themselves with
water before they go into their retreats,
and in times of drouth the natives dig
them out and obtain enough water from
their bodies to satisfy their thirst.
In his report to the Academy of Natu'
raj Sciences of Philadelphia, on his ex-
plorations of certain caves in Tennessee,
Mr.. Mercer mentions finding in Tirkcls
caves teeth and bones of the peccary,
tapir, and in another cave remains of the
giant sloth, Mylodon, and in Big Bone
cave the bones of still larger slotb,
Megalonyx, still bearing artcular carti-
lagos, which indicates for this animal an
age certainly not more remote than the
existence of man on this continent.
How long it takes the California trap
door spider to construct its nest when in
confinement, and other points in its hab-
it's has been reported by DR.. Davidson,
The spider was ten hours in making it's
nest with the hinged trap, another spider
requiring two hours to make hole deep
enough to conceal itself.

Excelsior.

BY May r. p. Hatch, st. Johnsbury.
The shades of night were falling fast,
When through an Alpine village passed
youth, who bore, mid snow and ice,
banner with the strange device:
" EAcelsior!"
Another youth behind him came,
OF noble brow but weaker frame
The snow and ice, the mountain high
Appals him, yet he sends the cry,
"Excelsior"
To greet below feebler shout,
While sweet and clear his voice rings out
Come up and stand where have stood;
Keep both your heart and courage good;
Excelsior!
"Where he has stood, 1 hope to stand;
He yet may turn and lend hand;
The steps of fame, who climbs Alright,
Shall be to him a ladder bright;
Excelsior!
Not all can reach the topmost round;
Some weary feet must press the ground;
And those who on the mountains stand
Should turn and lend a helping hand:
Excelsior!"
