The latest word we heard from Preston
Gross, at the Victoria hospital, Montreal,
was that his eye seemed to be doing well.
The steel had not been removed from It,.
II IL shall seem best there not to try to re-
move 1t, but to let the eye heal II it will, ~
it is, it will be a feather in the cap OF DIR. l..
w. Hanson of Barre, who 1t is said at the
outset, advised letting it work in this way
II it would.
The latest story that comes to us OF our
late eccentric tOwnsman, Elder Daniel
Field, is this: He is said in one Of his
! earlier appointments by the Methodist con-
| fereL CO ~ have failed somehow to make it
! desirable that he remain but one year in
the place. AT his farewell service, which
was thronged, he proceeded as usual, till
after his text was announced. He then
added that 'he hal found the people there
the smallest potatoes, and the fewest in a
hill, and the deepest in the ground he had
ever met" and dismissed the Congregation.
Henry +. Jillson died last week at the
| asylum in Waterbury. His body was
brought here for burial beside those of his
| parents, in our East Hill cemetery. The
| funeral, under the auspices OF the Grand
| Army post, was held at the Methodist
| church, Rev. f. @. Currier officiating. 1t
was found when he was taken to Water
| bury not many days before, that he " as in
the last stages Of consumption. For some
years past he had lived n Barre aud in the
family of DR.. j. W. Jackson. The provi'
sion for his care, that he inherited from his
brother, the late James +. Jillson, and the
pension he was getting, were ample for all
| his needs, and with 80 kind hearted guar.
, dian ss George Beckett of our place, his
wants were we'll anticipated. And yet the
nature of his long illness, epilepsy, and as
the sole survivor OF his fathers family, with
other ills incident to life, made his case a
very pitiful one, and he felt at times that
life held but little for him. He entered the
government service at the time of the War
of the Rebellion, as q nine months man, In
Company ID, Twelfth Vermont Volunteers
and afterwards re-enlisted in Massachu
sets battery. He was man of very kind
ly feelings, and but for i'll health would
have had different career.
