(Signed) F. Goodrloh has erected a mon ument on his cemetery lot at an expense of300.

It is light Sutherland Fall's marble, of a new design, which aside from its beauty, attracts attention. It is over nine feet high, double b'se, dies, on which are two pillars, cap on these, and an urn on this. Tho work is very nice, especially the otrving. which is In very good tasto. This monument, like r.

Geo. Briggs', Philip Ahao's, and a few others, help to break the sameness which characterize monuments, This is worthy addition to the many beautilul monuments in Pine Hill cemetery, which in a few years will bo one of the most beautilul grounds in the State. The appointment ol Mr, Edward Smith as highway purveyor has proved a good one, and he makes an excellent suoccssor ofMcrriam. With extending the terris tory of Mr. Samuol Gruver, it makes a good thing for the town, as all our money is not spent outside the Village.

Gravelling Franklin and Park streets with the money that was wanted by so ex selectman to lay out on the road to his bill pasture, which is now the best town, is a big stroke of eoonomy to the corporation.

The work of theseleotmcn in bringing village cemetery to light, we trust, will remind, those who have friends buried there that as a mattor of respect they can now pay some attention to fixing up the grovel, sliaigbtcniiig up the head stoues, not already filed at the expepse of the town, cleaning out the wtsds and making It decontly itspeota vWjll Loward hasjust received a new Hirstld of cigars, a Very choice lot."

Don't every one who knows Mr, Sprague know that he will be a candi date for representative this fall? He cannot get it, but he will try for it and put out his money just the same. Mr. J. F.

The Nve is very appropriate, considering that out of nine of the Brandon soldiers who rose to the rank of oaptain four were democrats. and that our leading democrats served in the army trith credit to themselves. Brandon's Major was not a democrat. The Democrats of Brandon have made fools of themselves again. While some of the best soldiers froui the town, some of the best business men, leading manufacturers and best citizens of the town are democrats, the caucus ignored them mostly and selected delegates to the various conventions, with little ex ceptions, without strength or influence.

Such proceedings cannot help tbe party in the State or nation. Zeal is good, but it cannot win, and men without influ enoe as citizens, should take back seats In party affairs. We have hoard the names of George Briggs, F.R. Button, J. L.

A. W. Gobs is entittljd to the office, but Sprague's new car-wheel venture will elect him on the principle the only man doing anything lor Brandon. Tbe Rev. Dr.

The fact that, Masonic officials nave been in tbe habit ol honoring Si mond's lodge by their presence on such sad occasions, bg led their own members, who are capable ol officiating on such occasions to neglect to po3t them selves.

Ho was a man that the poor will especr ally miss, as he was their friend at all times and in all places. A man of vigor and energy, be was one ol Shorebam's leading publio men, and his assistance for everything good of a publio nature could always be depended upon.

Ua helped to raise Co. First Vermont Cavalry, and entered the service with the rank ol first Lieutenant of that company. On the resignation of Captain Frank Moore, he was appointed captain a position which he filled with distinction unsil his health gave out, when he re signed his commission and returned home. He has been suffering from oanoers lor seven years, since the first ol last March confined to his bed, silently submitting to death from this terrible disease. That he was a brave man was evinced in the fortitude with which he suffered and faced death.

He leave3 three sous and three daughters to mourn his los bis wile having died in 1857 since wnicn time ne oevoteu leuure moments to his children. He was buried Wednesday with Masonic honors, an ler the au8p3es of Simond's Lodge, No. 49 ol which be was a member, assisted by R. W. G.

Tbe large attendance at the funeral is the best evidence of the rejpoot and friend ship in whioh he was held, not only by his townspeople but by those who knew him from adjoining towns.
