FAIRLEF.

The many friends of DR.. Barnes of
Fairlee are very sorry to learn that he
was soon to leave Oxford. AS a man
of truth and principle and su stainer
of all that goes to make moral and
religious place his equal is not easily
found. A prosperous future and a
happy home for the doctor and his
family is the wish of many.-Fred
Lang, Esq, from Minneapolis was in
town a few days this week and with
Others at Orfordville tried to follow in
in the footsteps of sharp shooter Wal
ter Horton who stood in his tracks and
shot two deer last week.-The prone
made last Friday evening was attended
by some over $50. The supper and en-
tertainment was enjoyed by all, and
there is over $50 in the treasury.
Golden has shipped 70 very fine long
oak to Boston for spiles, and also six
cars of sawed oak to the B. u M. r. II.
Co. at LyndOnville, cutting it on his
lot on the east side of the lake.-James
II. Eaton, brother of Mrs. Stephen
Chandler, has recently been elected
mayor of Lawrence. Those who have
been fortunate enough to meet Mr..
Eaton when in town visiting his sister
will testify to his gentlemanly greet
ing and his ability for business. His
vote was 1868, his Oponent, Donahue,
being 40S3.-FlOrence Paine will assist
II. p. Warren through his Christmas

There were many readers of the
OPINION pleased with the article
relative to W. David Quimby, and the
writer being personally acquainted
with Mr. Quimby and doing business
with him the season that Mr.. Hough-
ton built his cottages, has been one
not surprised at his success, for he was
only in the employ of Mr.. Houghton
about ten months before he said he
wished him to come to Boston and re-
port at the store, and after three days
of introductiOns made him assistant
superintendent and in eight months
made him general superintendent.
Now there is no one more proud of or
interested in Vermont boys than the
one who is relating these facts, and
thinking that list of Vermont en-
ployes in Houghton & buttons store
might be of interest has procured a
list as given by Mr.. Quimby Let it
also be remembered that this store
which has gained such a reputation was
originated by Vermont boy from the
town of Fairlee, who was the first man
to establish a department store in Bos-
ton. Vermont has al ways been held
up as an exemplary state to furnish 1

ers and mothers whose first instruc-
ton was the church, school and pat
riotism to their state and all that was
good. Following is the list of Yer
