Orvis procured calf which he pro-
posed to develop into good, old fash
toned family COW. That he was sue
cessful in his ideas will be shown from
the fact that this cow, "Buttercup" by
name, has just passed to her long rest
at the mature age of 25 years, 7
months and days. That she was a
good mother is shown by the fact that
she raised II calves Of her own and
three that she borrowed. "Buttercup"
was well bred but was not ashamed Of
hard work as her record will prove.
She was a Holstein but not full blood

In its account of the results of the
election locally last week the Journal
gave the vote of Walter r. Hard as
being 2, when in fact it should have
read 92. We regret this as it has
caused quite a lively discussion as to
who the real parties were who cast
those two votes and has made it real
embarrassing to Mr.. Hard, who really
polled a very commendable vote, as
there have been so many making
claims to the distinction of having
cast the votes in question. In fact if
all had voted for Mr.. Hard who now
claimed to have deposited those two
woes for him he would in all probab-
ility have been selected to represent
the town at Montpelier instead of Mr.
Dimond.
Mr.. and Mrs. James c. Gray and
David Vetal were in Cambridge, N. T.,
on Monday afternoon to attend the
funeral of Miss Helen Vetal, their
niece, who was killed instantly while
riding in an automobile last Friday at
Cambridge. Miss Vetal was daugh-
ter of George Vetal, formerly of Man
chester, but she had made her home
with her grandmother in Cambridge
since the death of her mother some
years since There were five in the
machine at the time it was struck by
a railway train, three of whom have
already died and whose funerals were
all held the same day in Cambridge,
and fourth lies at the point of death
at the present time, while the fifth is
dangerously injured. Since the above
was written the fourth victim has
been claimed by death.
The many friends in Manchester and
elsewhere of Mrs. Mary Z. O. Mar
bury will receive the news of her
death at her home here early Monday
morning with keen sorrow. Mrs. Mar
bury's illness was Of comparatively
recent origin but it progressed so rap
idly that when complications set in
she did not long survive. Mrs. Mar
bury, who was born in Manchester SO
years ago and was the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Orvis, was
woman of fine mental attachments,
having written several books of great
merit, and had almost completed an
other at the time Of her death. The
funeral services were held at her
fathers home, where she had always
lived, on Wednesday afternoon at B
o'clock, the Rev. S. X. Perkins of
this village and the Rev. Dr. Seaver
Of Rutland officiating, while Nine. r.
Raw Brooks sang two hymns The in
torment was in the family plot in Dell
