News was received the first of the week
of the death in West Somerville. Mass, of

bins was born in Leominster in 1874, and
learned the bakers trade in Fitchburg.
He came to Brattleboro about 80 years ago
and was associated in the bakery business
for a number of years with Henry Smith,

Eddy & Co.'s bakery until 1869, when they
removed to the corner of Main and Green
streets. Two years later Mr.. Robbins
moved to Charlestown, Mass, and was in
business for himself one or two years. He
then secured a position as boOkkeeper in
the Quincy market in Boston and was

ter, Knights Templar, Golden Cross and
United Workmen. He married Sarah f..

Col. E,t.y D.servIng or Credit.

The St. Adams Messenger, in answer to
an editorial in the Barre Times comment
ing on the way in which Company E was
'robbed" of the trophy cup at the muster
held at Fort Ethan Allen, has the follow
ing to say of Col. J, Gray Estey: "If any
officer in the National Guard of Vermont
deserves credit for a conscientious endeav'
or to raise the militia out of the old rut
that the Times complains of, it is Col. j.
Gray Estey, of Brattleboro. This is the
time for the newspapers to take hold and
support and encourage his endeavors to re-
form the Guard and to obtain wise legisla-
tion in its behalf from the general assemb-
ly in October. 1t is not time to excite pub
lie prejudices so that the injustice done the
soldiers in 1898 shall be repeated in 1900"

Some years ago man ran up bill of
$500 in the Trement House, Chicago, and
then ran away without settling it. The
trunk which remained in his room was
unusually heavy and when opened after
his departure was found to contain speci-
mems of ore, brought from the gold and
silver mines of Colorado, where, presum-
ably, he had lost all his money. After
waiting out the legal time Mr.. Gage sent
the contents of the trunk TO an assayer,
who returned two bits of metal valued al
more than 500 in excess of the bill, after
deducting his own fees.
