DUMMERsTON.

Being short of news items TO report at
this writing, we submit the following
"reminiscences suggested by reading some
historical sketches recently published in
the Bratteboro Evening Phoenix. In the
number of Sept. II is an account of "How
The Walpole Bank was Robbed of So, 900
in 1864" We read the account of the
robbery of the bank by Max Shinborn
with special interest from the fact that we
had on deposit in that bank, when the
robbery was committed, a sum of money
that we could i'll afford to lose, being in
capacitated from labor at the time on ac-
count of long sickness. When the affairs
OF the bank We're wound up on account of
the crime causing its failure, we received
check from Judge Frederick Vose of Wal
pole covering nearly the full amount of our
loss
March IA, 1860, occurred the most dis
astrous fire in Bellows Falls which that
village ever knew. An account of it ap-
peared in the Evening Phoenix for Sept
Is, in " hich il is stated that there was a
strong suspicion that it was set by d. f.
Streeter a barber. When we were a
youngster back in the tifties we used to
visit Fred Streeter's shop at Bellows Falls
His customers used to buy of him an ex-
cellent hair oil prepared by himself. We
have faint recollection that Mr.. Streeter
was barber in Brattleboro at one time,
and we well remember a report of his trial
for numbering the Coy family in Ohio, given
in The Vermont Phoenix at that time
His statement in the case was very pathetic
reading, as he claimed TO be innocent of
the crime charged against him, although it
was evident that he knew who murdered
the Coy family.

DOVER.
Death Of George b. Boyd.

The town of Dover loses one of its
foremost citizens in the death of George
b. Boyd, which took place last Friday.
Mr.. Boyd was a native of Wilmington.
He was the son of Reue and Almira Boyd,
and was born Jan. 20, 1888. Soon after
his birth his parents moved to Brat
tleboro, where they lived for the next
seven years, going then to Dover where
the son grew up. He married in March,
1861, Lorena J Howard of Dover. The
wedding was a double one, a sister, Julia
M, being mari led at the same time, in the
old church at Dover Centre, to George II d.
Pratt. Mr. Boyd and his wife made their
home in Dover until the death OF Mr..
Boyd's father, which took place in 1868,
when they were for time with Mr.. and
Mrs. Pratt in the hotel at Putney. Then
they moved to Brattleboro and Mr.. Boyd
kept fish market there until the fall of
1869, when the great flood swept the mar
ket and the building containing 1t away.
The family then re urned to Dover, max
ing their home with Mrs. Boyd's father.
In his young manhood Mr. Boyd became
a successful school teacher and he follow
ed that vocation for long term of years,
both before and after his marriage, teach
ing not only in towns about his home, but
for one year at least in Illinois, and for a
time in Gardner, Mass. In this capacity
he won the lifelong regard of many PEG
pie among his pupils and their friends.
For the past 20 years he has been one of
the most trusted and useful men of Dover.
With a single exception he has held he
Office of selectman every year during this
time, and has been continuously justice
of the peace. Two years ago he represent
ed the town in the legislature.
Mr.. Boyd's death was due to heart dis
ease, from which he had suffered a long
time, For four years he had suffered
acutey at times and has been incapacitat-
ed for any active work. He is survived by
his wife, two sons, Dana H. Of Brooklyn,
n. Y, and Reuel g. of Dover, and by one
sister, Mrs. Julia NJ. Pratt.
The funeral was held at the church Sun
day afternoon and was largely attended,
Rev. C. S Sherman officiating. The bur
ial was in Dover.

Rupture
CurabIe.
The method of curing
rupture used by the Fideli-
ty Rupture Co.
is NOSECRET.

If hernia is to be cured perma-
nently, new tissue must be grown
to fill up the false cavity occupied
by the intestines. We put the in
testines back where they belong
hold them there by truss and then
inject our fluid into tire cavity.
This fluid causes emulation Of serum.
The serum forms new tissue, uniting
the two surfaces o! the cavity.
The first injection is always placed
at the internal ring or the point
where the intestine leaves the alb
domen. This closes the opening
from the abdomen into hernia cavity.
The injections are repeated once a
week till the hernia cavity is al,
closed by new tissue.
