Substituted for Daniel Webster.

Ex-Gov. frederick Holbrook has re-
ceiVed an invitation to attend the
5Oth anniversary Of the Vermont
agricultural society in Septem Der.
One of the officers of the present or
ganizatiOn has sent the venerable ex-
governor a pleasant letter reminding
him of the fact that ne is probably
the onl y survivor of the Al mem ers
who organized the old society so
years ago. There are many Incidents
IN connection with the holding of the
first fair OF the society," one of which
is plainly recalled by the governor.
The fair was held on Tuesday and on
Friday afternoon before, the COVER
nor who had previously been chosen
president of the society and whose
agricultural articles in the Albany
CultivatOr had attracted the atten-
ton of Vermont farmers, received
from the directors a request to deiv-
or the first address on the opening
day of the fair. The invitation ex-
planned how the society we're dis
appointed because of Daniel Webster's
inability to speak to them as had
been promised, and expressed a very
generous desire to have Gov. Hol-
brook substitute. The governor, al
though reluct ant to attempt it, ac-
cepted and Immediately went to work
to prepare bis maiden effort. He
labored hard Saturday and Sunday,
and Monday morning started for
Middlebury with his address in his
pocket, where, he says, he faced big
crowd who listened attentively to his
juvenile production, given with no
little embarrassment. He would now
like very much to find copy of that
address, which. he thinks, would be
interesting AS showing a goodly de-
gree of charity on the part of his
auditors kindly manifested toward a
young Vermonter, inexperienced in
oratory, who had the nerve to sub
stitute for Webster. The IA names
on the Is by "a .inche poster included
many representative men from sever
al counties of the state. -Brattleboro
