Il SOLDIERS DEATH.

The news comes from Manchester,
n. H., of the death on March "a of a
brave Vermont soldier who as color
bearer of the old Fifth regiment won
the commentator of his superiors for
valorOus conduct III the face of great
danger. The man was Henry H. kecor
formerly of Barre, and veterans of his
regiments and others who remember
the stirring days of the war will re-
call the following incident in his Ca
reer which is reprinted from the Ver-
mont Waterman of July IA, 1865
Corporal Henry II. Recor, color bear
er of the Fifth Vermont Volunteers,
met with pleasant surprise at Bur
lington the other day on being mus
tered out of service. Uncle Sam pre-
sented him $3.50 III recognition of his
valor. He was the first person to
plant the colors over the rebel works
at Petersburg. When he entered the
rebel fortification he was in advance
of the regiment some 10 rods, followed
by Captain Gould, Company H. Both
were set upon by large number of
rebels who succeeded in bayoneting
the captain through the mouth and
cheek and otherwise seriously wound
ing him, until he fell, and only by the
most daring and heroic execution of
young Recor was he seized and borne
beyond the reach of the bloodthirsty
enemy, and his life saved.
Mr.. Recor was native of West
Crazy, N. Y, and was sixty years
old. After the war he was police
officer in Barre being one of the first to
serve in that place.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, Mrs Elmira H. Recor, two sis
tiers, Mrs. Melvin Morse of Nashua,
N. H., and Mrs George Leduce of
Birmingham, N. Y, four brothers,
William Recor of Montpelier, Isaac of

Il APPRAISAL LIS MADE.

Lieutenant Governor Zed S. Stan
ton, Secretary of State F. G.. Fleet
wood, and State Auditor Horace F.
Graham, commissioners under the stat
ute to hear appeals from the appraisal
of railroads made by State Tax Com
missioner j. Il. Cushman, Friday after
noon mailed their reports on the cases
before them. In the case of the Barre
and Montpelier Power and Traction
Company the appraisal as made by
Mr.. Oushman was 1852, 600, and the
commissioners appraise it the same.
The Springfield Electric Railway
company's property and franchise
were appraised by Mr.. Cushman at
$93, 1858. The commissioners appraise
this road at $50, 600. This road is
about two thirds in Vermont, running
from Springfield to Charlestown, n.
II. Its business is largely freight.
The Brattleboro Street Railroad
Company had it's property and fran
chise appraised at $40. 600, by Mr..
Cushman. The board cut this ap-
rraisal to S45, 600. The Military Port
Railroad Company, the Burlington
Traction Co., both electric roads, and
the Hoosac Tunnel and Wilmington
Railroad Company narrow gauge
steam road, all withdrew their appeals
from the appraisal of Mr.. Cushman so
there is no charge with regard to them.
Copies of the reports have been sent
to Mr.. Cushman, State Treasurer John
l.. Bacon, and to the representatives
of the appealing road.

WATER DRINKIN q.

The figures of sales of mineral
waters in the United States would be
startling if their increased use was
not matter of such general observa-
ton. In 1890 AZ, 600, 600 gallons of
mineral waters from springs in the
United States we're sold in 1901, Co.,
775, 600; and in 1909, 65, 600, 600. The
value at the point of shipment now
reaches so, 900, 600 year, and taking
inc account the expenses of transit
bottling and the profits of retailers,
$l8, 600, 600 or $50, 600, 600 must be eX-
pended each year for American min
eral waters. Following any epidemic
of any zymotic disease there is gener-
ally reported a marked increase in the
sale of mineral water in hotels, in din
ing cars on railroads, and in theatres
and very likely this increased care IL
the use of water is of immense effect
toward conteracting the dangers aris-
ing constantly from the neglect to care
for the public water supply in accord
ance with the growth of population.
The productiveness of the mineral
water springs of the United States II
practically unlimited, and at the rate
at which the product is increasing II
cannot be long before the amount sold
each year will reach 80, 600, 600 gal
Ions, nearly equivalent to gallon pei

est water drinkers in the world. New

ARBOR DAY.

In compliance with the custom of
recent years, and which is rapidly and
wisely growing in favor with our peo-
pie, and in accordance with the ad-
vanced ideas that prevail in tree and
forest culture, / designate Friday, the
18th day of April, 1908, as Arbor Day
On that day let the elm and the
maple be planted by the school house,
the church, the homestead, the road
way. Good road-bed and shade trees
build up the countryside, add to the
wealth of the farmer by lifting farm
values, and attract and attach the
stranger within our gates and convert
the summer visitor into permanent
resident
But beside planting, it behooves this
generation to preserve. Preserve the
trees by the highway from the wanton
telling, cutting and slashing of the
modern vandal, especially the linemen
of the trolley, the telephone, the tele-
graph, the electric light-more des.
tructive in their ravages than the
gypsy moth or the elm beetle.
Instil the lesson then on Arbor Day
to plant and preserve the forest, the
wood, the grove, the tree; that the
rainfall may be regulated, the public
park improved, the landscape made
more alluring, the drive more invit-
ing, thu grounds about the school
house and the church more beautiful,
and the homestead even more attrac-
tive.
Given under nv hand and the seal
of the State of Vermont in the eXecu-
tive chamber at Bennington this
twenty first day of March, in the

pendence of the, United States the One
hundred and twenty seventh.

Several young boys of the Church of
the Messiah Sunday school have been
formed into club whose purpose is
one that should be highly commended.
The boys are wearing ribbon badges
surmounted by button on which are
the letters "W. w. s." These stand
for the motto "We Won't Swear"
and if the club could grow to include
every boy in Montpelier it would be
none too large.
Smiles were visible in the county
room Thursday when attorneys Senter
and Plumley INDUCED in repartee.
The witness on the stand testified that
Mrs. Cowdery was pronounced Dem
ocrat in political belief. Mr.. Senter
remarked to Mr., Plumley that probab-
ly the latter would admit she was in
sane from that evidence. Mr.. Plum
ley, however, replied that being a
Democrat was not conclusive evidence
of insanity and went on with his ex-
animation.

IN BANKRUPTCY COURT.

In bankruptcy court Saturday K. M.
Harvey's accounts as trustee of the
estate of Michael Valley of Barre
town were approved and the trustee
discharged. This case is record
breaker in that 100 per cent was
paid on all claims proved by cred
itors and sos 81 was paid back to the
bankrupt. The point of the matter
is that the creditors failed to prove
their claims, probably expecting the
assets were insufficient to pay divid-
ends. Out of nearly $500 only $l09.-
% of claims were proved by creditors
within the year which the law allows.
Recently, since it was reported that
claims were being paid in full, other
creditors have appeared but they were
too late.
Saturday was set for hearing of
objections to the discharge of Mary E.
Magoon, bankrupt, but none were
filed.

Dear Sir: The cost of labor in
painting house is three times the
cost of the paint. ION seem to save
little when you buy lower priced
paint, but you certainly add to the
cost of labor when You pay for spread
ing more gallons
You don't even save On the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs q little
more than mixed paints, but it takes
fewer gallons, and the cost is actually
less.
Wears longer too-longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save cent.
Mr.. G. Lo'h, painter in Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years OF experiments with
mixed paints, / find that your paint
covers more surface to the gallon than
any L have ever used. For density
and wearing qualities it cannot be
eXcelled.
Compared with lead and oil: A
house belonging to the late President
of the Croton River Bank, at Brews-
ters, n. Y, (cost $31 ,000) was painted
with lead and oil in '84 at cost of
$400. In 'S7-three years-it was re-
painted with Devoe at cost of $3.50
In 81 the house was still all right.
Results: lead and oil-cost 800,

wear ten years. Yours truly.
