DUMMERSTON.
A Martyr of the Westminster Massacre,
March I3, 1873.


When the history of Dummerston. was
being compiled special pains was taken to
ascertain the parentage of Daniel Hough-
ton of Dummerston, who was mortaly
wounded at the time William French was
killed in the Westminster court house fight
The only family by the name of Houghton
living in Dummerston in 100 was that of
Cyrus Houghton, and it was supposed that
Daniel Houghton belonged to that family
and it is so stated on page - in the history
of the town published in 1884. Since that
date the writer has had numerous letters
of inquiry about families living in Dummers-
ton among the early settlers One of the
writers is w. A. Houghton of Berlin, Mass.
who is a grandson of Cyrus and Experience
Pike Houghton of Dummerston, who sold
their farm to Jonathan Knight, Esq,
April :, III, and removed to Putney.
Mr. Houghton of Berlin has compiled a
history of the Houghton families related to
his line of ancestry. Daniel Houghton,
who died of his wounds at Westminster,
March %, l775, was doubtless a son of
Daniel and Experience Houghton of Bolton,
Mass, and was born in 1855. Many of the
Houghton families who settled in this
region came from that part of Massachu-
sets. John. Houghton with his wife, Mary
Goddard, came from that section and set
tied in Brattleboro. In 1889 he lived in
school district No. of that town.

My wife had severe attack of rheu

terribly swollen and she suffered intense
pain. We knew about the merits of

she would try it. The first effect of the
medicine was to increase her appetite and
she soon had more strength. Then the
swelling in her feet and ankles began to
diminish and the pain gradually left her.
She kept on taking Hoods Sarsaparilla

DELIaHTFUL CONCERT.
By the Women's String Orchestra |

By the Women's String Orchestra in
 the Y. M. c. A. Course.
 The first concert in the excellent course of entertainments under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. was given in the Hyperion theater last evening by the Womens String orchestra of New York. The audience was large one, completely filling the theater, condi- ton of things that augurs well for the financial success of the course. The new blood that has been brought into the association of late is accomplishing wonders. The enterprise shown in bringing here such an organization as the one heard last night is very com mendable and the audience numbered some of the best known musicians in town.
 The programme was interesting and the concert was altogether very pleas- ant affair. The young women in their white gowns made a charming stage picture.
 The Women's String orchestra is, as the name implies, made up entirely of female players, some of them amateurs, but principally professionals. Some of them like Miss Gaertner and Miss Branth are very well and favorably known in their profession. Their leader, Cary V Lachmund, is admir- ably fitted for the position, uniting en- thusiasm with sound musical training. The programme last night was made up principally of arrangements, but these were tastefully made and were agree able to listen to. The Schubert "Sere- nade' and the one by Pierne seemed to meet with especial favor Tho solo, ists were Miss Branth, first violin, and Miss Leontine Gaertner, 'cellist. Miss Branth played Wieniawskis "Polonaise Brilliante' and as an encore the Der ceuse" from Godard's "Jocelyn." Miss Gaertner made decided impression by her playing of 'Polonaise" by Pop- per. She was enthusiastically received and in response to the applause she played the familiar "Cantiena" from the Goltermann concerto. Miss Gaert- ner is a 'cellist of especial talent. Miss Dressler another of the 'cellists, played the accompaniments to the solos,
