An Irasburg Octogenarian.

On Sunday one of Irasburg's
young old" men reached his 8Oth
birthday and is still going strong.
On that date, November 5th, 1912,

on Sunday last. Usually he is to be
found in his place in the Methodist
church at Sunday services but just
before the time to leave his home

plies for a birthday dinner drove up
to his door. The party consisted of
two sons, two daughter-in- laws, four
grandchildren, one sister-in-law, and
one brother-in-law, with the balance
made up of old friends. Needless to
say the cold boy" was taken by sur
prise but could not have wished for
better, or more agreeable company
for his birthday party.
When 20 years of age Mr.. Longe
enlisted in the 18th Vermont, regi-
ment- under Col. Proctor, father of
the new governor of Vermont, and
fought in the battle of Gettysburg
With himself were four brothers,
three of whom lost their lives during
the Civil war. After leaving the
army Mr.. Longe located in Glover,
whe~e he farmed for 40 years. Four
teen years ago he lost his wife and
four years later he returned to Iras-
burg where he still resides. On the
evening of his birthday he attended
church as usual and on Monday morn

several of them. AS they fed to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, vowing
that he would get at least one Indian

mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying on the ground wounded,
called out TO him: You won't leave
me TO the Indians. will you, Tom?"
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand and dashed madly
away
You'll have to try to crawl TO the
fort. Burgess" said Tom, land will
stay behind and keep redskins off"
As Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran in another direction TO lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded comrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him in the leg as he fled
into deep ravine. He was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One OF them fred and
