Shall be glad to have you call and examine our stock, PETER CHAMPAGNE. Death has claimed two local veterans and well known citizens during the week. Peter Champagne died at his home on Chipman Hill Monday morning, aged about 67 years, after an illness covering several years, during which he suffered from a complication of diseases, originating from his service in the Union array. Deceased was born in Canada and came to Vermont some 50 years ago, and has made Middlebury his home ever since. He enlisted in the army at the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion, going out in Co.

7th Vermont Volunteers. His service of three years in the Union ranks impaired his healtn to a considerable degree, and at his honorable discharge he was unable to resume the rugged work to which he had been accustomed. He engaged in various kinds of business in town, such as conducting a bakery, later a harness making shop and in after years keeping a tobacco store. For the last few years he was unable to attend to any business whatever. He was a man of unusually cheerful and genial dispo-sition and had a wide circle of friends.

He leaves a widow and two sons, Frank of Chicopee, and George of Middlebury, the latter of whom succeeded to his business. The funeral took place from St. Mary's church "Wednesday morning and was largely attended. Kev. Father Beauchesne I of Vergennes officiated and the interment was in the parish cemetery.
