And SO Thad Chapman is the new

visor of strenuous campaign, as he's a
strenuous Thad. He caught the Shaws,
he helped Ex-Governor Stewart to de-
liver Addison county to Mccullough and
he'll certainly deliver Vermont to
Roosevelt in good order and with a ma

Thad is a highly ornamental and

No Addison county fair would be COM

dividing the duties of chief marshal and

trot, lope, canter, gallop, side-step, waltz
and cakewalk, while, as for Thad, if you

The M ock Court Trial.

The great mock court trial, to be given
under the auspices Of the Young Wo-
mans Christian association, in the Town
hall, on Tuesday evening, March 8th,
promises to be an event Of unusual inter
est. From newspaper reports of similar
entertainments conducted by the pres
ent management, it would seem to be
one Of the most attractive things now
before the public.
With Charles Earle acting as Judge,
William Jackson as the alleged guilty
party, Ira II. LaFleur prosecuting the
case and Col. Newton defending the
accused. to say nothing Of the brilliant
array OF court officers, witnesses and
jurors, il is pretty certain we shall have
all the comedy and reality of court
scene and enough wholesome fun to last
for many months.
Indeed, it is predicted by those in
position to know, that from the open
ing of the court until the close of the
case, the audience will be kept keyed up
to the point Of commissions by the unique
proceedings.
AS an entertainment of innocent fun,
conducted with mock dignity and with
out the shade Of offense to refined tastes,
the mock court trial will be an event
long to be remembered.

Mr.. Rufus Wainwright.

The people of Middlebury were pain
fully surprised to learn of the death of
Rufus Wainwright, Esqr.. last Sunday
morning, Feb. 2Sth. He had been ill ten
days with pneumonia, but during last
week had been constantly improving,
until both physician and friends were
relieved of serious apprehension. But
on Saturday he became suddenly worse
through heart-failure, and in few hours
quietly passed away.
Mr. Wainwright was born July 81,
1880, in Middlebury, where for many
years, in the first half of the last century,
both his father and maternal grand
father, Samuel Sargent, were prominent
merchants and manufacturers. He
prepared for Middlebury college at Burr
and Burton Seminary, Manchester, then
under the charge of the distinguished
educator, William A. Burnham. While
in college he had the esteem of his
teachers for ability and character, and
was graduated in 1852. He chose the
legal profession, and studied with his
brother-in-law, julius A. Beckwith
Esqr., lawyer of this town whose
brilliant career during his brief life is
still remembered with admiration by the
older members of the profession. Ad-
mitted to the bar in 1856, Mr.. VAIN
wright continued the practice of law
until his appointment as County Clerk
HE off In cd
with fidelity and universal satisfaction
for over a third of a century, until his
death.
In many other relations Mr.. Vain
wright performed most valuable service,
to the town, to the church and to the
college. For nineteen years he was
Secretary of the Board of College Trus-
tees, and for thirty years member of
that Board, serving on most important
committees, discharglng without COM
pensation responsible and arduous duties.
In times of emergency he was always
both able and willing to lend helping
hand. His unobtrusive but wise councils
will be missed in the future deliberations
of the Corporation.
In his personal and private life Mr..
Wainwright had the affectionate regard
of all who had the privilege Of intimate
acquaintance. Loyalty was strong
characteristic of his nature; his friends
always knew that he could be relied on.
His temperament was cheerful and
courageous; when difficulties and dis
appointments were encountered, he met
them with a brave heart, always ready
to make the best even of a painful
necessity. The members Of the Addison
Co. bar, the Faculty and graduates of the
College, and the citizens of his native
town, as well as his wide circle of per-
sonal friends, will deeply regret his loss
and honor his memory.
