Old Tombstone Discovered.

A remarkable discovery was made
recently by workmen who are excavat-
ing for the cellar of the proposed Sort
well block in Barre, a tombstone being
discovered IL feet below the surface of
the ground. The men say that the day
previous some. small bones were dug
up close by where the tombstone was
found.
The stone bears the following, I'm
memory of Levie, son of Silvanus and
Sarah Aldrich who died May IS, 1916,
in his 18th year" Levie Aldrich was a
brother of Leonard Frost Aldrich who
was for many years president of the
National bank and who left a sum of
money in trust to build a library. The
location of the proposed Sortwell block
is a part of the Aldrich home place.
The Maidstone was IN a partially up
right position and is supposed to have
marked the grave of one of Samuel AL
drich's children in what was at that
time, 1916, the family garden. In the
years following sand was washed in
from the adjoining river until the
headstone was buried and forgotten 1t
was in a good state of preservation,
the only damage done to it being a
off from the side. The in
is easily legible.

Centennial Celebration at Lincoln.

Descendants of Chase Purinton from
the United States and Canada cele-
brated the centennial anniversary Of
his settling in Lincoln Thursday and
Friday. The chief feature of the cele-
bration was the unwilling of a tablet
to mark the spot where Chase Purin-
ton settled in 1903. and where the first
town meeting, attended by 10 voters,
was held in March, 1898. Mr.. Purinton
was one of Vermonts pioneers. He
came with his family over the noun
tains from Weare, N. H, enduring
many hardships on the way. His cows
were shod the same as his horses to
protect their feet. A blacksmith by
trade, he soon set to work to build
grst MILL the first industry in Lincoln.
The grinding stones he quarried him
self and fitted with tools of his own
These stones have been
made into a tablet that fittingly per-
petuates the memory of the first in
dustry and likewise honors the hero of
the day. Rev. r. r. Davies of YER
gennes, made an address and Judge
Moses B. Cove gave an historical ad-
dress, covering the towns history.

vERMoNT's OLDEST CHURCH.
Interesting Description Of the Old Edi-
flee at Rockingham.

The Architectural Record, New
York, for August has an interesting
and well illustrated article on "A For
gotten Colonial Church." by H. w.
Desmond. The Illustrations cover
pictures of the front entrance, the ex-
terror from two points of view, side
view from the graveyard, and five in
terror views. The article and the ex-
cellent pictures furnish an extremely
interesting account of the old struc-
ture. Here is portion of the reading
matter.
1t would be interesting to possess q
tabulation of all churches in the Unit
ed States that Individually antedate
the present century and yet preserve,
in the main, their original form and
material. The making of a list of this
character would undoubtedly bring to
notice a number of half-forgotten
buildings. One Of these ancient sur
vivals would be the structure that Is
illustrated here. 1t is a real antique"
a building isolated in the upper part of
the Connecticut valley by the change
of social conditions and the drift of the
tide of population. 1t is situated on an
eminence above the main road that
passes through the little village Of
in Vermont-a settle
ment on the Rutland railroad, near the
corner of the state. Bellows
Falls is the nearest modern town Of
Importance. Rockingham itself con-
sists of scattered homes of a small
farming community. 1t can hardly be
said to have a center. It is only an in.
cident on the wayside amid land
scape of rolling hills. The white church
and the bare graveyard dominate the
immediate locality and catch the eye
Of every passerby.
The residents of the township affec-
.ionately treasure the building, which
embodies so much Of their traditions.
It is always well painted and preserved
and the temptation to improve" it
seems never to have existed. The in
erior today is in it's original primitive
except that the high pulpit
las been cut down to a modest level
md the old sounding board that was
Lbove it has been removed. The square
high backed pews both on the main
loor and in the gallery, extending
round three sides of the structure, all
emain as originally built when the
Office was erected in 1887 by vote Of
he town.
Before the present building existed
he village possessed a similar edifice,
nd the manner in which the older
tructure was replaced by its successor
nd the various changes made from
ime to time in the latter may be more
learly shown in the quaint language
f the town records than in the diction
the present day. We may premise
hese extracts with the statement that
ne township was chartered by Gov
rnor Benning Wentworth of New
by authority of King
gorge II, under date of December %,
1852. OF the seventy-four equal par
els of land included in the town
ranted by the charter, sixty-nine
ere granted to the named "Proprie-
,rs," two to Governor Wentworth, and
ne each for the first settled Minister
the Gospel in said Town for the
ociety for the Propagation of the
ospel in Foreign Parts" and for "a
lebe for the Ministry of the Church
England" The ministers lot was
lie exact geographical centre of the
,wn.

CURES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
catarrh Ever Discovered" Says
Mayor Yard.

Mayor Yard.
Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through a direct applica-
ton that will kill the bacilli of ca
tarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh that
has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the
most prominent men and women in
the country who have been cured by
this remarkable remedy. Ministers.
bankers, lawyers, even eminent ply
sicians have sent strong testimonials
as to the remarkable powers of Hyo-
mel to cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard, of
Trenton. n. j., writes: You have
my permission to say that l believe
.Hyomei' to be one OF the most Won
derful cures for catarrh and throat
trouble that has ever been discovered.
In my case the effect has been mar
velous. enclose you money order
for two outfits for friends of mine to
whom l have recommended 'Hyomei'
and who / am anxious shall have the
benefit of this remarkable panacea-"
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.0O. consisting of an inhaler,
tiropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
some weeks. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep seated cases of catarrh, longer
use is necessary. and then extra bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents 1t is not alone the best Gt
might be called the only method of
curing catarrh, but it is also the most
George E Greene has so much con-
idence in the power of Hyomei to cure
.atarrh, that he will for a limited time,
sell the medicine under his personal
guarantee to refund the money il the
purchasers can say that it did not
lelp them.
