RandoIph's Sites OF Historic interest.
At meeting OF the Lake Champlain
Tercentenary commission Of Vermont at
Montpelier recently, il was recommended
to the towns and cities OF the state that
an effort be made, during or near Tercen-
tenary week, which begins July 4, 1909,
to mark in an enduring manner sites Of
historic interest in the various commune
ties Of our commonwealth. Few towns
insthe state have a larger number OF such
sites than Randolph and il they are prop
erly marked now as they should be and
as they can be at small expense, they
would be of immense interest to future
generations
After the burning Of Royalton, party
of Caghnawaga Indians numbering near
" three hundred, with q company OF
white men and twenty-five prisoners, sew
en- Of whom were Randolph men, camped
in the eastern valley OF the town on the
night Of Oct. IS, 1850. This spot should
be marked by q small monument setting
forth the main facts.
The Indian chief, Dogall, died at the
home OF his daughter, Mrs. Marrery
(Dogall) Griswold in Randolph In 1898
and was buried just south Of the Joseph
Griswold home. A stone should be set ct
his grave or near it if the exact spot can
not be determined.
lafayette stopped at Brackett's tavern,
now, the Maplewood at the Center, in
June, 1925. President James Monroe in
the summer Of 1877 stopped at DIR. Tim
othy Bailie's tavern, where the Randolph
House now stands at Randolph Center.
Edward, duke Of Kent, fourth son OF
George III and father Of Queen Victoria,
stopped over night at Samuel Paine's
tavern, which is still standing in South
Randolph. These houses should be
marked with marble or bronze tablets,
and there may be other sites or houses OF
historic interest which ought not to be
forgotten but remembered because Of
their connection with noted events or dis
tinguished persons.
Other communities have marked such
places and Randolph should not lag be-
hind the procession on this Tercentenary
year. In Reading, Windsor county,
there has stood for over 3 hundred years
near a bridge and beside the highway a
slate stone monument directing the
traveller shalt q mile up this brook to
the spot where the Indians eamped with
their prisoners after their raid on Charles
town. It is one Of the most interesting
monuments in Vermont.

Cold Weather Apparel.


It used to be customary in Vermont for
people to wear substantial articles Of at

shudder at the airy wardrobes affected by
the Sandwich Islanders, to whom q string
Of colored glass beads means sufficient
dress for any occasion, according to the
shocking reports OF returned mission
aries, too scrawny, too old or too tough
to be detained for the tribal barbecue of
an Islander family reunion. But now
either climate or custom has changed; for
the most diaphanous attire Is worn in an
atmosphere that made the wild Indians OF
an earlier day hide their goosefiesh under
