report of the county canyassing commit
tee was agreeably broken when the mat
! ter of eleetiRg two additional justices
| of the peace for the town Of Somerset
came up. The representative from that
| town being absent, it deyolyed upon a
member from neighboring town to
place names IN nomination. Here il was
that Representative Eddy OF Stratton
showed a humorous strain. He suggest
ed. and perhaps not without reason. that
there were not enough in the town to
warrant five justices. A member from
Windham county volunteered the infor |
nation that there were six voters. The |
gentleman from Stratton presented the /
name of one of the remaining citizens OF |
Somerset and he was duly elected. He |
then presented the name OF George Far
rington and the assembly was about to
act on the nomination when Mr., Miller
OF Bethel arose to state that Mr.. Far
rington was now deceased. That left
but five voters and the one remaining
citizen who was not an ofiiceholder was
named for election as the fifth justice.
