BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
JAMES H. FLAGG.

Death OF "A Native of Wilmington who
Had Been a LIverymRn In North
Adams Many Years--.-HeId Several
Public Omces.
James II. Flagg, 65, one of the Berk
shire county commissioners, died at his
home in North Adams early Monday morn
ing from heart failure. He had been i'll
for some time with appendicitis, and Sun
day he was very much improved and 1t
was thought the crisis had been passed.
Mr. Flags was prominent citizen of
North Adams and we'll known throughout
Berkshire county. He had been for years
the leading liveryman in North Berkshire.
He is survived by his son, Edward Flagg,
and two daughters living in North Adams.
Mr.. Flagg was born In Wilmington in
1884, and was the son of Stephen p. Flagg,
who read law with o. l.. Shafter Mr..
Flagg passed his early years in Whining
ton and received his education there. In
1858 he went to North Adams and for sew
eral years was connected with the livery
business of d. j. Kimball. He returned
to Wilmington and bought farm and in
1856 h. sold that property on account of
failing health and returned to North
Adams. In company with John Clark,
he bought the Kimball stable. A princi-
pal part of their business was the running
of the stage to Hoosac tunnel, connecting
North Adams with the railroad, the tunnel
being then in process of construction.
After years partnership, Mr.. Flagg be-
came sole owner of the livery business and
had since conducted it alone. About a
year ago large building, containing over
20 stalls, was erected for him. He lived in
handsome, modern house on the Reuben
Smith farm on the Adams road.
Mr.. Flagg had probably held more offices
than any other North Adams man. Fol
% years he had not been out of office, per
forming the duties of constable, special
sheriff, selectman or councilman. Last
year he was elected county commissioners
on the Republican ticket, having a plural
ity of 2196. At the time of his death he
was also a member of the North Adams
city council and special sheriff of the
county.

GOLD MINE AT SPRINGFIELD.
Stock Company Has Begun Work on

Stock Company Has Begun Work on
the Tower Farm, which Has Been
Leased for 90 Yenrs.
Not every one in Springfield is aware
that within the past two or three weeks
there has been opened up bona fide gold
mine; but such, however, is the case. A
few years ago some people were excited
over the discovery of gold in Seaver's
brook, and several began panning, but
the output never reached anything except
little to keep as curio. With the pre-
sent discovery, however, the outlook is very
interesting, though little is said for publ
cation at present about it as they are wait
ing for developments. The vein of miner
al was found two years ago by Frank NJ
Davis, mineraloglst of considerable note
in this state. A small piece of surface
rock which he Clipped off the ledge assay
ed over 81 at that time but he was unable
10 form company to work it aud get a
lease OF the land till few weeks ago, when
syndicate of nine business men was form
ed, charter granted and a lease of the
entire premises of the so-called Tower
farm, given for 60 years. Then opera
tions began. The stock was all taken bV
the syndicate, none is for sale, although
several gentlemen have tried to get $1,000
or $500 worth the past two or three DAYS.
The vein, properly speaking, has not been
reached yet, and at what depth it will be
struck is, of course, largely matter of
conjecture. Several geological experts
who have examined the ledge, express the
opinion, judging from the dip, that 1t will
be struck at about 40 feet from the surface.
About Is feet of the cap OVERLAPPING the
vein containing the pay streak has been
taken off and each foot shows up better
than the preceding. The last assay show
ed nearly $2S to the ton Bellows Falls
Times.

The Value OF an InterOceanic Canal.
from the Roston JournaI1

Never more quickly responsive than
now to the popular demand for timely in
formation, the treasury bureau of Stats
tics has just issued a map setting forth
the transportation routes and distances be-
tween the Atladtic and Pacific coasts of
the United States and our ports and both
coasts of Central and South America.
This is, of course, a tremendous object
lesson of the value of the American inter
oceanic canal. From New York to VAL
paradise, the great port of Chilli, for in
stance, the sea route through the Straits
of Magellan is $500 miles. An isthmian
canal would reduce this to 4572 miles.
From New York to San Francisco via the
Straits is $1,000 miles. By way of Mic
aragua it is only 1857. As conditions now
stand, with these immense stretches OF
water to cover, it is not strange that only
about $15,O0O,OO0 of the 800, DOC, OOC
trade of the west coast of South America
is with the United States.

GRANGE NEWS.
Windham County Pomona Grange mt
TOWnshend

TOwnshend.
Windham County Pomona grange held
n meeting with the West River grange,
Townshend, last Tuesday. The visiting
members were cordially greeted by the
home grange. The question for discussion
in the morning was "How are we Benefited
by the Granger" There was a lively dis
cussion. The thoughts advanced were
socially and exceptionally, also financially.
Activity in any work benefits one. Keep
the individual right, then the grange will
be right, the church right the state right
and the nation is safe. The discussions
are eleVating and instructive. We must
learn to look ahead for assistance and to
give as well as get. After bountiful din
ner the exercises were open to the public.
The master of West River grange welcomed
the visitors with words of cheer, followed
by invocation by Rev. Mr.. Hardy, song by
Mrs. l.. d. Osgood, duet by Mr. and Mrs.
Cobb, also by Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Osgood,
readings and recitations by Mrs. A. A.
Mason, Miss Grace Thayer, Mrs. Norris,
Mrs. Lucy Sargent, Mrs. Mary A. Currier
and Mrs. Cobb.
"The need of Mutual Help" was dis
cussed by a large number. The principal
ideas presented were that we ought not
and could not live for self alone. Try to
help others, be willing to receive help.
The farmer needs the village, and the vii.
lage the farm, so we must work for each
Others Interest AMI aim for the good of all.
One Interesting feature of this gathering
was the presence of so many of the charter
members of the Pomona grange. The
ride home of the visitors was enlivened by
sprinkes of rain which was cheerful in
dication of the generous shower that came
during the night.

cans OF His District.
The following letter appeared in the
Portland, Maine, Press Of Monday:
To the Republicans Of the First Maine
District:
While am naturally reluctant TO OBJ
trude myself again upon public attention
even here at home, / am sure no one
would expect me to leave the first Maine
district after so long a service without
some words expressing to you my appre-
citation Of your friendship and my graft
tude for your generous treatment. Words
alone are quite inadequate and / must APP
peal TO your memories. During three and
twenty years of political life, not always
peaceful, you have never questioned a sin
gle public act of mine. Other men have
had TO look after their districts. NY dis
trict has looked after me. This, in the
place where l was born, where you know
my shortcomings as do myself, gives me
a right to be proud of my relations with
you. No honors are ever quite like those
which come from home. 1t would not be
just for me to withhold my thanks from
those Democrats who have so often given
me their votes. This friendship can ac-
knowledge with all pIopriety, even in a
letter to Republicans, for both they and
you know, that l have never trimmed a
sail to catch the passing breeze or ever
flown doubtful flag
Office, as ribbon stick in your coat
is worth nobody's consideration. Office
as opportunity is worth all consideration.
That opportunity you have given me
untrammeled in the fullest and amplest
measure and return you sincerest thanks.
If have deserved any praise it belongs of
right to you.
Whatever may happen, 1 am sure that
the first Maine district will always be true
to the principles of liberty, self-govern-
ment and the rights of men.

Faithful station, Agents Refrigeration

The resignation of Edward S. Bardwell,
station agent for many years for the New
London Northern division of the Central
Vermont road. at Mortified, Mass, has
stirred up the town. Mr.. Bardwell has
been faithful and efficient man. Through
him large share of the business of the
Moody schools has been secured. The res
lgnation of his telegraph operator was ask
ed for, which threw the work on TO him.
Outside of the express business, it is claim
ed that there is work enough for three
men. Mr.. Bardwell feels that he cannot
do everything, and consequently sent in
his resignation A large number of citi-
zens have signed remonstrance, asking
that he be retained, This cutting down OF
the help at the station is said to be in line
with the policy of the management of the
road, The Boston and Maine road will
profit by such high-handed actions, for
from East Mortified it is almost as con-
venent to go to South Vernon as to North

The Both annual sold Folks meeting, !"
recently held at Charlemont, Mass, was
attended by 100 people aged from 70 to "a
years, and the printed report shows that it
must have been an interesting occasion for
all who were there. Among those who
sent letters was ex-GOv. Holbrook, who
wrote at the request of Mrs. Kate Epson
Clark of Brooklyn. Mrs. Clark read ex-
tracts from this letter and it was printed
in full in the Greenfield Gazette. The let
ter is pervaded by the cheerful and sunny
view OF life so characteristic of the veneer
able war governor, and 1t shows how he
has been comforted and inspired by the
best poetic thought of the worlds writer's.
ut Is great help in old age" the letter
says, ''to have cultivated love and close OBJ
servation of nature through our former
periods of llfe,-to have held communion

The heart that loved her; tits her privilege,
Through all the years Of this our life, to lead
From joy TO Joy; for she can SO inform

Our cheerful faith that all which we behold

Dsnomina,IonsI Houses ut Northn.Id

DenominatIOnaI Houses ut NorthneId'
The season of conferences at Mortified
which closed about the first of the month
has been the most successful ever held.
The religious centre of the country is
pretty near Mortified, when the great
conference is sitting. The permanency
of these meetings would seem assured from
the fact that denominational houses are
being planned. On land given by Mr..
Moody the Baptists are planning to build
4 house, TO be known as the "Gordon
house" in memory Of DR.. A. j. Gordon
of the Clarendon street Baptist church in
Boston, who was interested in the North
field movement and presided over the con-
ferences in the absence of Mr.. Moody in
Europe and Chicago. 1t is proposed TO
build the house, which will cost not less
than 5000, so that it can be used the year
round, students occupying it in the winter.
1.-THE missionary rest" will be built for
the abode of missionaries of the denomina-
ton while at the conferences. II is ex-
pected that a minister from Manchester
n. H., will build house just over the line
in Winchester for the use of attendants of
the conference. Outside of the religious
building there is considerable of a secular
nature going on in the town. G. II. Web
ster is building business block west of
his store, 40 by 60 feet. Stearns & Archi-
bald, clothiers, are to have one part, and
Woodbury. & Leisure the other for furni-
tire. Mr.. Janeway, paper manufacturer
of New Jersey, is to build $4,000 house.
