HINSDALE, N. H.
A Tribute of Affection 60 the Memory of
Henry IL. VailIe.

Another correspondent and an old resident of
Hnsdale who feels that justice was hardly done
the character Of the late Henry r. Vae in last
week s issue of The Phoenix, desires to add this
tribute to his memory. Mr.. Vaie came to Hns-
dale in the autumn Of 1869 as a clerk in the rub-
fishing house of Hunter & Co. He was one of a
coterie OF bright young men who served time in
this establishment, among whom may be men
toned X. w. Day, now a member of the Morgan
Envelope company in Springfield j. w. Jenords
OF the New Hampshire Sentinel, +. II. Hosford of
the Lebanon national bank, II g. Holland of the
Hotel Ashuelot and others. He was well educated,
fine penman and accurate accountant and was
soon promoted to the position of head cle of the,
Hunter company. holding the place for several
Years. People were not slow TO recognize his
talents ami ability aud he was twice elected
chairman of the board Of selectmen. was promI-
nenJ in Masonic circles and as justice, notary
and pension agent dong large business.
After % years residence in town he removed
TO Athol in the autumn of 1889 and II is a matter
of qualification to his friends to know that he
gained an sonorab position there and was much
respected bv all who knew him II there were
any faults or short comings in his Hinsdale life,
he redeemed them noby IN these latter years and
should have the credit therefor The most care
full inquiry leaves the which led to suicide a
mystery. There were no fin lncial Irregularities,
his accounts were all right his family relations
were pleasant and IL only remains to conjecture
that the deed done In fit of dependency
the result of Ill health and of a delicate, nervous
organization
In social life Mr. Vaille was always and every.
where gentleman. He had that happy manner
which some men are born to, that attracts people
to them, the visible expression of generous,
noble nature, and it was not strange that he had
hosts of friends in the Ashuelot valley, who enter
tanned for him personally the warmest regard and
feel the sad manner of his death with the sharp
sorrow OF a personal bereaYement. Mr.. Naile
was connected with st. John's Episcopal church
in Athol, held many offices of honor and trust in
the town, and the Athol Transcript of last week
paid tribute to his many excellencies of charac-
ter far more fitting than these few imperfect
words OF old friend. w. s. l..

ANOTHER VERSION.
A Citizen q Ration Has sofHeihlne 10 Say
About Inc coanty Seat Removal,

A citizen OF ration MAS approached on
the street by an OPTIC reporter, to-day,
who Immediately proceeded to button
hole him for the Lews. The reply came u
noticed In The OPTIC of last evening, a
paragraph, which, TO say the least, Ia very
Interesting. You say in effect that, II IL
rumored that on Monday last, the com
mIssIoners of Colfax county, with a full
board present, decided to continue the
hearing OF tho county-seat. removal mat
ter until Tuesday morning, but hat In the
afternoon, two Of the county commission :
ers got their heads together and concluded
to call an election for June 14th, without
taking the %precaution to rescind the morn
ing action
"The facts are, sir, that on Monday
morning, the board OF county commission
ers did conclude to defer the county
seat-remoyal matter until Tuesday morn
Ing, but even at the morning session, there
was no counsel present representing the
interests OF the town Of Springer
"In the afternoon, with the three COM
missioners present, one Of the commission
ers, who in the forenoon voted to defer the
consideration Of the matter, moved to re-
consider the action of the board at the
morning session, and this motion was car.
ried and the board then proceeded to cons
slider the question Of county seat-removal.
After a full hearing of all the facts wit !
the three commissioners present, the board
by a tSo-thirds majority, decided that all
Of the preliminary steps necessary to
secure a special election upon the question
Of such removal had been taken, n did
order an election to be held upon the 14th
of June, for the purpose of determining
whether the county seat should be re.
moved from Springer to Ration or not"
ut may be of interest to add that while
the law requires a petition to be presented
to the board, signed by qualified electors
equal in number to at least half OF the vote
cast at the last general election, that the
petition presented to the board Of county
commissioners on last Monday at Sprir e ar,
contained at least $50 names more than
that required by law, thus showing even
prior to the election that more than half of
the voters of Colfax county favor the re-
moval Of the county-ssat. Truly, the end
is not far distant"
With these remarks, the interview closed
and the reporter fastened back to the Office
to write out his stenographic notes.

AsLlth. The order particularly affects
tho import OF British breeding stock.
In the past few years syndicate OF
French breeders OF Shorthorns has,
through the aid OF the French govern.
ment, purchased numbers OF high-bred
Shorthorns In Great Britain with tho
object OF improving the cattle OF that
breed In their own country. Among
their purchases have been some OF the
best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the
shows OF the Royal Agricultural So
ciety OF England. Under the new rcgu-
lation OF the French government the
above syndicate finds II must refuse TO
purchase any cattle that will not come
out clear from the tuberculin test. Re
cent experience under this order brings
out this emphatic refusal. two OF three
OF the bulls purchased IN Great Britain
having proved tuborculous and having
to be destroyed. one OF these was Lord
Polwarth's Nonsuch"-champio at
the Royal Show at Leicester-and pur-
chased at price closely approaching
$4,000. Under the circumstances the de-
cision OF the syndicate Is hardly SUI
prising. Tho example OF the French
government has been followed by tho
Canadian-that no cattle shall be Inn
ported into the Dominion unless war
ranted free OF tuberculosis as tested by
the tuberculin test,
