He went at once to the Mary Fletcher hos
pital at Burlington where be was operated
on and the rupture sewed up. The opera

covering from its effects and hopes to be
able to be with his comrades of Company

Col. Robert j. Klmball of Randolph has
offered to raise, arm and equip full COM
pany Of volunteers for the service of the
United States at his own expense. Should
there be another call for volunteers, Gov.
Grout may accept the offer, All agree
that this offer is noble and patriotic, but a
profuse soft-soaping is all the reward the
colonel can ever hope for. He belongs to
the same class as Gen. Mccullough, lives
in New York part of the time, and is po-
litically ostracized. There is no objection
to New Workers spending their cash in
Vermont; Col. Kimball can raise as
many companies as he chooses. Gen.
Mccullough can loan money for the ex-
penses Of a regiment and save the state the
cost of special session Of the legislature
Seward Webb can send the boys at Chick
amauga another check for $500 if he cares
to. These men and others like them have
permission to exercise unbounded patriot
ism and philanthropy, but when it comes
to politics they are not Vermonters enough
to be elected fence viewers.

125,0OO volunteers and it is said to be
very doubtful if the state will be asked to
furnish any additional men under the last
call for rs, 900 volunteers.
The state, however, is now without a
national guard as most OF the boys in the
old companies are in the First regiment in
the service of the United States. The
legislature meets in October and very
likely some action will be taken then, but
it is urged that preliminary steps should be
taken before then.

CHESHIRE COUNTY POMONA.

In the history of Walpole grange during
the past decade, never, it is said, has Pomo-
ma meeting under its auspices been so large
ly attended as the one held this week on
Wednesday. For several years the weather
has been unpropitious on the date fixed but
on this occasion the weather bureau smiled
broadly and the day was all that the heart of
the average granger could most desire. There
were 157 present at the morning session and
it was estimated that in the afternoon over
250 were in attendance. There were repre-
sentatives from ten different oranges in the
county and delegations were present from
three oranges outside this county. A few
townspeople, not members of the home
grange, were in attendance also and the
meeting was both interesting and instructive
and enthusiasm prevailed. The program
given in last Saturdays TIMES was followed
as nearly as possible, but several necessary
changes were made. The essay was omitted
satisfactory address of welcome was made by
l. w. Ramsay, master of Walpele grange,
and responded to in pleasing manner by
Mr.. Newman of Ashuelot grange. recita-
ton was given by Miss Thompson and also
one by Mrs. Perkins of Marlow, who was
roundly applauded and who pleasingly re-
sponded to an encore. Mrs French from
Gilsum also gave recitation which was we'll
received. A vocal solo was finely rendered
bv Mrs. W. A. Burt and a piano duet by
Misses Bertha and Stella Wellington. The
question for discussion was: "Do the signs
of promise exceed those of evil for the future
welfare of our country - An excellent paper
was read by j. P. Holmes on this subject that
showed careful preparation and thought. H.
lustlations from history were cited, up-to-
date arguments set forth and events in gen.
eral, bearing on this question, summarized,
the audience following with close attention
throughout. d. M. Spaulding of Keene
spoke in bright and emphatic manner that
" on the interest of all, and the other speak.
ers appointed being absent Rev. Mr.. Perry of
Gilsum was invited to speak. Mr.. Perry is
an able speaker and easily gained the appre-
ciative interest of his hearers. His remarks
were to the point, savored of sound common
sense and withal, were vastly amusing, great
spplause succeeding him.
Dinner was served at noon in the lower
town hall to over 200 guests. The lavish
generosity in the culinary line of IL oranges
combined would better be left to the imagina-
ton, but the repast was truly royal one and
was well-seasoned with mirth and good fell
Iowship. The committee in charge were as
follows: Mr.. and Mrs. B j. Glazier, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Burt, Mrs. f. A. Ramsay and
Edwin Guild. The upper hall was decorated
with flags and evergreen and the platform
with a beautiful display of potted plants and
cut flowers Ts3
In the evening social dance was enjoyed
by the young people. Mr.. and Mrs. Weeden
of Rockingham furnished violin aud piano
music, II. G. Chandler acting as prompter.
About 80 couples were present and the festIv-
tiles lasted until pss midnight.

DR.. HOltOn'S Candidacy.

A warm friend of DR.. H. D. Holtor
writes the TIMES as follows:
Mr.. EDIToR:-
There seems to be systematic en-
deavor to impress upon the voters of the
state the idea that DR.. Holton of Brattle-
boro will not be candidate for lieutenant
governor. The fact is quite the contrary
The doctor became car didate, not of his
own volition but upon the demand of 9
large number of leading men from various
parts of the state and he will continue to
be the candidate of the people of this coun-
ty, no matter what one or two persons may
say, who are always opposed to Windham
county having candidate for any position,
if that candidacy is likely to result in an
election; for the reason that they wish to
keep the county clear until they are ready
to run for some official position themselves.
The candidate Of the people Of Windham
county on the state ticket is Henry D.
Holton for lieutenant governor.
1t is reported that there are local COM
plications in Brattleboro which may effect
DR.. Holton's candidacy. w. H. Bracket
OF that place is candidate for the Office Of
state treasurer but the Brattleboro dele
gates in the state convention will not have
the effrontery to ask two positions on the
state ticket for Brattleboro men. The re-
suit will be that the delegates will be either
Holton delegates or Bracket delegates !;
and there seems to be little doubt that DIR.
Holton's friends not only in Brattleboro
and Windbam county but throughout the
state will rally to his support, and that he
will be the next lieutenant governor of
Vermont.
Mr.. Brackets chances for the office of
state treasurer are not promising. Hon.
H. F. Field has announced that he is not
a candidate for reelection and the general
opinion is that j. L. Bacon of White River
junction will be the choice of the conven-
tion.

Anthony Schwenk Withdraws.

Anthony Schwenk Of Brattleboro, who
has been prominent candidate for states
attorney to succeed c. H. Robb, has an
nounced that he will not be candidate
and will support H. G. Barber Of Brattle-
boro for the office.

usual exercises at the cemetery, After which
Rev. Mr.. Stewart of Alstead gave a very elo-
quent and interesting address in the church

the occasion. The NARROW band did escort
duty; F. c. Parker was president, and A. Nj 3.

and there were many present from out of

The question of second Vermont regi-
ment is being discussed. In sending out
her first regiment Vermont furnished more
than her quota under the first call for
