Henry Clay Bates was born in Derby,

tice of his profession, that of the law.
He was educated in the common schools

Gov E. G. Smith.
I. A. Wiley of Mortified held the first
chain laid down by the surveyors for the
Central Vermont railway. As near as
he can remember the spot is where
White River junction now stands and
the year was 1876.
The president has sent to the senate
the nomination of Acting Assistant Sur
geon Arlington Pond to be surgeon in
the volunteer army with the rank of
major. ''Arlie'' Pond is a Rutland boy,
graduate of the medical department

at one time one of the crack base ball
pitchers of the east, having played for
some time with professional clubs.
A telegram from Chicago announced
the death in that city of Lieut.. Walter
A. Phillips, Vermont soldier who had
large number of friends among the civ
il war veterans of this state. He went
out early in 1861 as a lieutenant of Co.
F, I'd Vermont, afterward was lieuten-
ant of Co. II, 18th Vermont, and won
praise from Gen. George j. Stannard for
gallantry at Gettysburg. He was after
ward lieutenant in the Sd Vermont
battery.
The bravado with which Frank Shaw
meets his death sentence recalls remark
he made last winter, when he was stop
ping in Bethel. He happened into the
house of Charles Townsend one day and
was looking at a picture of Bible char
acter hanging on the wall, and was scott
ing and making irreligious remarks when
some one said to him, II should not
think you would dare to talk that way. y
Shaw replied, 'Well, it don't make
much difference any way, l was born to
be hung and am bound to be-
Frank Cooligole or Coaugelo, the Italian
implicated in the Alburgh murder scrape
who had been in Jail at Plattsburg,
n. Y, since December 20, was taken to
North Hero last Thursday afternoon by
Sheriff Gordon and Deputy Sheriff Parks
who drove across on the ice for him in a
cutter. They placed handouts on him
and placing him between them started
for the island about O'Clock He
is apparently unconcerned as to his fate
and all he seems to care about is place
to eat and sleep and plenty of clothes to
wear.
The vital statistics of the hill towns of
Vermont show some interesting things.
For instance, in the town of Dover, one
of the back towns of Windham county,
and having population of only about
| 800, during the year 1900 there was but
one marriage, indicating the absence of
young people most of whom have doubt
less gone away to larger centers of popu-
lation. That the conditions in these hill
towns are conducive to longevity is DEM
onStrated, however, by the figures rela-
tive to deaths in this same town of Dover
during the year 1900, the deaths number
ing nine. OF these three were infants
less than four years old while the other
six had all passed the three-score years
and ten. One was 95, two were above
so and the other three were between 20
and so.
Scald head is an eczema of the scalp
