His remains were taken to Wardsboro Sunday afternoon. Concert. The choir of Immanuel Church, Bel- lows Falls, will give a concert at the Church on the evening of Friday, Feb.

18th. The entertainment will be wholly sacred in character, and made up of choice selections from this class of music, which, it is well known, affords the greatest interest and variety. The choir will be assisted on this occasion by Miss Lizzie Gindrat of Baltimore, pianist, Miss Abbie Grinnell of Charlestown, soprano, and Mr. Ivan E. Morawski of New York, baritone.

The reputation of Miss Gindrat and Miss Grinnell in this vicinity is such as to make comment unnecessary. Mr. Morawski comes to us with a record which shows him to be by far the best gentieman artist that has ever visited us. He is well known as one of Thomas' soloists, and has frequently sung with Clara Louise Kellogg, Adelaide Phillips and at other first class concerts. Some of the most reliable musical critics in New York, where he is best known, class him with Santley, the celebrated English baritone.

It is through favor and by much urging that he consents to come here, and we hope our citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity, and testify to their appreciation of good music by liberal attendance. The choir (a double quartette,) comprises some of our best local talent, and have made a praiseworthy effort to give us a pleasing and good concert. Tickets will be thirty-five and fifty cents, according to location. A plan of the seats may be seen after the 11th, at L. Amadon's jewelry store, where tickets may be secured.

WESTMINSTER. The seventh lecture in the course at Westminster will be given by Rev. Allen Hazen, now of Pomfret, Vt, but more then twenty years a resident of India, Wednesday evening, Feb. 16th. Subject: What one sees in Bombay." Mr.

A meeting of the board of the Vermont Academy was held at Rutland, Tuesday at which it was decided that they could not accept the resignation of Rev. Mr. Wilbur, who has been the financial agent of the project ever since it was started, and took steps to retain his services. Mr. Wilbur it is understood has received a strong invitation to a position in Hamilton University, N.

Y. where he graduated, and where no doubt to him cluster many attractive associations. We learn that action was taken looking to the erection of the academy buildings in which it is expected a term of school will be held next fall. The building committee are Messrs. Jacob Estey of Brattleboro, Ira C.

Allen, of Fairhaven, Geo. F. Davis of Cavendish. WINDHAM COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. -The annual meeting of the officers of this society will be held at the Fayetteville Hotel on Tuesday, Feb.

Mr. Boynton has several coin curiosities, among them a Turkish coin of oneeighth the value of the American cent, and another of cne-sixth the value of a cent. They are of course very small and thin, and look as if the Turks pinched them severely before letting them out of the mint. FELCHVILLE. The Baptist society of this place cently gave their pastor Rev.

Geo. H. Parker, a donation visit, in which the cash left with their pastor amounted to over $80. The Cotillon party at Felchville hotel on the 4th, was attended by over sixty couples and every body had a good time. Music by the Woodstock Quadrille Band.

The next party will be held on Friday 18th and the music will then be furnished by the Springfield Band. J. Ward Hastings, prompter. The annual prize reading and speaking by the pupils of the public schools of Reading will take place this (Thursday) evening. JAMAICA.

FIRE--A CHILD NEARLY SMOTHERED. About one o'clock in the morning of Saturday, the 6th inst, our village was thrilled by the cry of fire, and our citizens found the large two-story house owned by Dea. Abijah Muzzey to be on fire. The house was an old one, located near Russell's Chair shop, and familiarly known as "the yellow house," and was occupied by two families, Mr. Samuel Castle who buried his wife last Sunday, and Mrs.

Amos Boynton, whose husband died last summer. The fire was first covered by Mr. Geo. Kellogg who was boarding with Mrs. Boynton, and who was asleep in the second story at the time.

Hastily throwing most of his clothes out of the window, he started down the stairs to arouse Mrs. Boynton's daughter, a girl of 14 years, when he was met by "her on her way to wake him. The girl, Rosa by name, caught a dress to put on, and found it on fire and threw it on to a lounge, instantly setting that on fire. She then ran across the street and waked Luke Howard, and then hurried back to the burning house, and was so crazed with fright that she had to be carried from the building. Meanwhile the alarm bad spread through the village and the citizens were promptfly on hand, and the engine worked to its full capacity, but in less than one hour the whole building was in ashes.

At the beginning of the fire the wind blew strongly from the North, but it soon shifted to the west, else the main part of the village must surely have been destroyed. The house stood but a short distance north of the dwellings of Dr. Holton and L. Waterman, and as these stand at the head of Main street, there is hardly a possibility that any of the central part of the village could have been saved had these ignited, as they surely must but for the sudden change of the wind. A barn belonging to Jerry Howe caught fire several times from flying cinders, but it was speedily extinguished.

There was also a brand that lodged on the Cong. Church and burned several minutes, but it finally went out of itself. Burning brands were carried by the wind more than half a mile, and but for the snow would probably have done much damage. The house occupied by C. W.

Read, and standing near the house burnt, was cleared, and in the confusion and tumult a child of some 18 months was taken up, together with its bed, and carried some distance to a neighbor's, and when unrolled from the bed was thought to be suffocated, but by prompt and energetic measures it was restored. Mrs. Boynton was away from home watching with a sick neighbor and lost all her clothes except what she had on. Her girl Rosa, lost everything except her night clothes, a pair of stockings and a shawl. Nearly all the furniture belonging to both families were burned, Mr.

Castle being out of town. A subscription paper was immediately started for the relief of Mrs. Boynton, and our citizens are promptly responding. A goodly amount has been raised and more is coming. The building was worth about 81000, with but little insurance, and the loss falls heavily on Mr.

Muzzy. The fire is supposed to have caught from the burning out of a chimney. Some months since Mrs. Aaron Bemis submitted to a surgical operation for the removal of a cancer from her lower jaw and it was supposed for some time that the operation was successful, but a few weeks since it broke out again, since which time she has been failing rapidly, and on Saturday morning, Feb. 6th, at about 10 o'clock, A.

she breathed her and died as she consistent chrislast. She was universally, respected, tian, and her past life is her best eulogy and epitaph. PERKINSVILLE. Mrs. Melissa, wife of Wm.

C. Crane, died suddenly Tuesday of last week. She arose from her bed and called for camphor, saying she did pot feel well. Medical aid was also immediately called but she lived but a few hours. She leaves a child about three weeks old.

CHESTER. The Leap Year Party at the Chester House Feb. 1st, was one of the most enjoyable parties of the season. For several days our fair male population was in a flutter of excitement over the coming event from which so much enjoyment was anticipated. The party was arranged and conducted on the strictest leap year principles.

Each lady invited her own partner, no married lady being permitted to play the gallant to her The different committees of the arrangement and the floor managers were all ladies and deserve the highest praise for their efficient and successful management. We append the list. Committee of invitation- -Miss Mary H. Adams, Miss Lizzie Fisher, Mrs. J.

L. French, Miss Josie Peltier, Mrs. G. A. Webster, Miss Susie Fullerton, Miss Lena Bemis, Mrs H.

H. Jenkins, Mrs. Albert Williams. Introductory committee--Miss Sarah Henry, Mrs. 0.

0. Locke, Miss Flora Leland, Mrs J. O. Smith, Miss Laura Lee, Mrs. M.

H. Volk, Miss Ella Smith, Mrs J. M. Homer, Miss Addie Cobleigh. Floor directors Mrs.

J. R. Richardson, Mrs. G. D.

Barton, Mrs. C. T. Whitmore, Miss Mary Barney, Miss Hattie Hadley. At an early hour, thus giving a reflex of their perferences in such matters, the ladies called into requisition a "four horse chariot and called at the residences of the happy bachelors and benedicts who were numbered among the 66 chosen ones in the matter of invitations.

It is only just to say that in but few instances were they kept waiting." The gallant chaperons were said to have manifested in some cases the tendent solicitude concerning the -health of their charges and insisted on having them well wrapped in furs and shawls. In most stylish manner were the helpless masculines escorted into the spacious dancing hall at the hotel, where Peabody's band discoursed their excellent music to the merry dancers. The courtly bearing and attentive politeness of the female gallants were only equalled by the refreshingly modest demeanor and sweet simplicity of their masculine partners. Few we fancy, ever imagined before that Chester possessed so much male beauty. Our village has heretofore, with good reason been proud of its beautiful maidens and handsome matrons, but henceforth let our boast be our lovely boys and pretty men." Notwithstanding the inclement weather their were present 65 couples among whom were very many from the adjoining towns.

The ladies of Rockingham were well represented as will be seen by the following names, Miss L. K. Buss, Mrs. N. B.

Dimond, Mrs. G. F. Well. ington, Mrs.

SQUIBB8. Ira Minard. The Hon. Ira Minard of St Charles, Illinois, died at his residence in that place Jan. 22d, aged 66 years.

Mr. Minard was a native of this town, Rockingham, born Nov. 11, 1810, a son of the late Mahlon Minard and cousin of John Minard of Westminster. He was a signal instance of perseverence and industry, a self made and successful business man in the various walks of life, public or private. At the age of twenty in 1830, he went into business at Bellows Falls with his brother-in-law, Asahel Bundy, but soon tired of a business on so small a scale as the wants of this place then required, sold out, and in 1833 he and three other young Vermonters started for the "far west," their first point being White Hall by stage.

They arrived at Chicago Sept. 3d, and found business prospects so forbidding 1 that three of them, including Mr. Minard, determined to return, but before doing so each invested $100 in the lot corner of Lake and Clark streets which proved a valuable investment, and the next summer Minard returned taking with him his young wife, a lady he had long known, and in fact the attracting magnet that temporarily drew him back to Vermont. He soon formed a co-partnership with a Mr. Murphy and opened a hotel on Lake street where he did a good business, but gave it up in a few months for a more promising enterprise, in which he took up and staked out a fine tract of land near Elgin, which claim he sold i in six months for 81700.

In the fall of 1834 his 8100 lot in Chicago was sold for $7,500. His enterprising spirit attracted the attentiou of others and he became a member of the firm of Minard, Ferson and Hunt. At one time he held a deed of the whole tract of land on which the city of St. Charles now stands. He bad held various positions of public trust and always performed his duties with unvarying fidelity.

In 1842 he was elected to the Illinois State senate, a time when the State was apparently verging on bankruptey and repudiation, at which time all the banks in the State had suspended. He resisted all attempts at repudiation and did much to save the credit of the State. In politics he was a democrat, but on the breaking out of the rebellion be gave prompt support to the union cause, and was a personal friend and acquaintance of Lincoln in whose administration be always expressed confidence. The above we have condensed from a writer in a St. Charles paper.

Mr. Minard, who will be remembered by some still living in this section, leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Barber, and two sons. Mr. Barber and the oldest son, George, are members of the firm of Ira Minard lumber dealers in Chicago.

His youngest son, Charles, has been engaged in the same business for some years with his father at St. Charles. Mr. Minard had been a resident of St. Charles si since 1835, and commanded the respect and universal esteem of the people of his adopted State in which he was widely known.

Thus has passed away another of many sons of Rockingham who with success have sought business, homes and honor in other States. Shooting Affair at Claremont Junetion. Thomas E. Nason of Felch ville shot George Deane of Weathersfield, in the hotel at Claremont Junction, N. Sunday evening.

Nason seemed to comprehend at once what he had done, and went to Claremont for a physician and then surrendered himself to the authorities. The reports are various as to the cause of shooting. Nason had been to Claremont Saturday with a load of dishes and stopped at West Claremont over night, and Sunday afternoon went down to see Deane, with whom he was acquainted. Nason asked Deane if he was going over to Felchville to attend the ball, to which Deane replied that it was not a good place to go to, as they took the oats away from his horse after they had been placed in the manger, that he, Nason, was the man who did it. Thereupon Nason called Deane a liar and Deane called him a liar, when Nason stumped Deane out doors.

Deane was going out when others told him that Nason had a pistol, and he turned back. Nason then drew his pistol and shot Deane through the body, the ball passing through the kidneys, and he now lies in a critical condition, with the chances even that he has a mortal wound. As usual rum is supposed to have been the main element of the affair. Deane has been clerk at the hotel for some six months and is about 26 years of age. Nason has a family and is some 43 years of age.

P. S. Deane was still alive Wednesday, but not expected to recover. Nason has been held for trial and sent to jail at Newport. WEATHERSFIELD.

Episcopal service is continued at the Bow with increasing interest. Charles Stone who was seriously injured in early winter is once more out but is lame yet. The penstock of Hicks Bros. mill was damaged slightly by the falling of a tree during the recent gale. It will be repaired immediately.

I. W. Barnard and D. C. Hicks have purchased the timber on the Leland farm formerly a part of the old Consul Jarvis place and are making preperations for cutting.

Social parties are in full blast among the grangers and are doing much good. They include all ages and from the cradle to the grave and delight in the intellectual practice of kissing in a good healthy school girl way. Mr. L. A.

Pierce is expected home from Chicago the first of next week: He reports business of all kinds as quite dull in the west. Carlos F. Hatch reports the loss of $130.00 which he had just received as back pay from the War departurent. His mind is not quite clear on the subject owing to the ardent." How true that at last it biteth likea serpent and stingeth like an adder." A new road down the mill brook and a free bridge across the river at Claremont is agitating the public mind. The contemplated road will be of great benthe travel from Springfield to Claremont and Windsor.
