a . o
Col. Twitchell, who was prominent man

1t was rather unfortunate for Rev. Mr..
Meacham who came from Passumpsic to
ofiiciate at the Adams-Twitchell wedding
that the mixed train was unusually late
that afternoon and he was unable to
reach the train TO go to Burlington to
attend the Baptist state convention and
then the accident took place that en-
dangered his life. We think with the
late Mrs. Partington, who meaning that
something was an acquisition, said that
ii was a great accusation, so we think
that the narrow gauge. in its present
condition, is great accusation to all
the towns that are dependent upon il
for transportation.

Leland & Gray Seminary offered them
out of a family of seven children four
of them are graduates from the sem
mary, and the going away of such a fam
lily is a loss to us. 1t not only takes a
great deal of young life from our COM
muntty but leaves a vacancy that will be
hard to fill. and we think that credit is
due to the mother. who in the absence of
the father, has brought up her family so
well. We say this because we think II
no more than her due The kind wishes
Of their many friends here follow them
to their new home A farewell party |
was given them at the commodious and I
pleasant home of ]. II. Ware the even |
ing before their departure About 70 |
attended and many more would liked to |
have been present had there been con-
veyance, as the invitation was a general |
one, but as the distance was a mile |

delightful evening Refreshments were |
