judge A. a. Hall Dead.

Judge Alfred A. Hall, of St. Adams,
one of Vermont's best known citizens,
died of Bright's disease at his home on
South Main street at as o clock Sunday
afternoon, after an acute illness of
over four weeks.
Judge Hall had been aware since
last summer that he was stricken with
what must prove to be fatal malady,
but its somewhat unexpected develop
ment began while he was presiding at a
term of the Windsor county cou TT in
Woodstock, and he left the bench there
to come to his home for rest and re-
cuperation, only to begin losing fight.
He had been very comfortable in his
illness, all things considered, and had
bravely entertained hopes that he could
get about once more for time to enjoy
some stay in his disease, but the end
came very suddenly and without warn
ing. He had eaten his dinner and was
sleeping Sunday afternoon, when the
nurse noticed stir and then a few
characteristic movements that prompted
her to call the family, who arrived in
the chamber just in time to see the
Judge pass peacefully away.
