GEORGE W. SCOTT DEAD. ,
Georgo W. Scott died in this city
on Saturday at flvo minutes nast
tluco o'clook in tho afternoon. Briof
na'iition of the ovent was made in tho
.Tournal of tliat date. Mr. Scott had
bceii111 nbont two weeks. Ho was ill
froin pnouuionia early in April, from
which liis inunediato dcclino dates,
tliougli for soiuo weoks succeeding tiiat
illness lio had bcen out daily. His
dcoth, liowever, can liardly be assign
ed to tlio otl'oct of any partioular ma
lady, but ratlior to tho brcaking up
of tho vital forces incidont to his ad-
anced nge.
Mr. Scott was born in Cabot March
10. 1809. At the aco of fourtecn ycars
lio becan work for a Cabot morcliant
liaiucd Pcrkins, receivinc his board
and clotbes for his wages. In 1S27 lio
canie to Montpelier to attend fccliool,
and later, for tliirty-four years, was
associated as clerk and partnor with
the flrm of Baldwin & Hutohins. In
1801 Mr. Scott encaccd in tlio ceneral
nicrcbandise business in tho store in
tlio Willnrd building now occupied by
Abnott & Bailey. In lhis ho retired
from active business life, and had not
since been prominently identifled witli
business enterpriscs. For eighteen
years ho had boen a director of tlio
Montpelier National Bank. He was
treasurer of tho town from 1SG1 to
1870, and connty commissioner for
two years following 1800. ,
liis eariiest church connoction was
with wliat, in the last generation, bas
been known as Bethany church, and
this counection was interrupted only
by death. As regularly as the Sabbath
came he was seen iu his pow, anu as
ho was rarely ill his steady and puuc-
tual presence in the lionse of worship
was as certaiu as the e.xistence
tbere of tho rnaterial flxtures of tho
sanctuary. His heart was with Beth
any and to its flnancial support he
freely contributed.
Though not liaray in appearauce
Mr. Scott' s physical resources had
been well husbanded. Day by day, for
years past, 111 all seasons, Jie was at
the bank ot which he was a director,
walking much of the time from his
home on Loomis street.
In 1834 ho raarried Jeauuette H.
Langdon, who some years ago had
gone betore. Une dangiiter, JUrs.
Andrew J. Howe, is now nviiic. iot
many years Mrs. Howe bas been an iii
valid, enduring with great cheerful
liess and beautiful resigiiation tho
severest of life'B ills. Iu the new dis
tress that bas come into her life her
friends, near and far, seen and unseen,
aro thiuking sympathetically of her.

Full of years and JiikIi in tho re

iu which his nto irom cariy maunooa
had been spent, this venerablo man

" BALDY" SMITH.
Ono of tho plcasnnt incidents of
nn ovontiul day in MontnoUor wns
tho sitrpriso given at tho Stato Houso
to Gon. Smith "Bnldy" Smith n
natlve of St. Albans. but whose
iionio is now in Philadelnhia. Ovor
a week ago a hronzo memorinl tublet,
nearing a medaiiion ot tho goneral,
was sent from Philadolnhia to this
city as a gif t to tho 5tato from the sol-
diers of other States, who admired
Gen. Smith. Gov. Stickney nnd ex
Gov. Pincrco selected a snaco nt the
right of tho eiitranco, to Representn-
tives- nati 011 wmcii to place the
tablet and Sorgeant-at-Arms Brock had
it mouiited tbero.
Tho uewsnaner men woro-let into
the secrot somo timo niro. but worn
pledged to kcop tlio matter a sorrr t
untit tho tnblet had been seen by Gen.
Smith ns a snrpriso for him wns plan
lied. Tho snrpriso cume verv near bo
ing a fuiluro lor tho Freo Press thnt
nioniing contained nn n'U'ouncoment
regarding tho tablel, . . at for the
protnpt aetion of Dr. Brigham, as the
genoral was about to purcbase apaper,
the whole all'air would havo been
spoiled.
About eleven o'clock 011 Saturdnv
Genoral S111it.l1, nccompanied by A(i
miral Clnrk, Mrs. Clark, nnd Mayor
Boutwcll diovu to the Stato Houso.
Lpon arriviiitr in the corridor. tho
genoral was watched by the party
with koen interest as be wandered
about inspecting mementoes of rhe
Rebellion mnong which were his regi-
mentoi cotors. .Mrs. Ulark tinally
guided the old oflicer to a position in
front of tlio tablet. That the ccneral
was surprisod was verv aimarent. As
he comprehended what the tablet
renlly was ho started and as his eyes
filled, with tears he abrnptly left the
party, and going to the other sido of
the corridor strnggled to recoverfrom
111s emotion. 1'iiially. .Mrs. Clark led
tho general back to his former posi
tion, but ho was still too moved to
speak.
'ihe attair was entirelv mformal nnd
re.sembled more a family gathering
than a state oecasion. The general
spent bome time in visiting the dill'er
ent rooms at the State House and in
specting tlie relics there.
1 he memonal tablet is of simple but
pretty desig,n. Beneath the profile of
Gen. Smith is the following inscription in
nysea letters:
"This tablet is nresented to Vermont
by sokliers from other States, who admire
so much her great soldier son, Brevet-
M.ijor-General llham Farrar Smith,
United States Army. The extracts here
from the letter of the assistant secre
tary of war, C. A. Dana, to Gen. Grant,
dated Dec. iii, 1803, show that at a crisis
in the nation's life, he'was in the thoughts
of Lincoln, stanton and Grant, as the
genertrf best fitted for the most imp rtant
command. ' The surest
means of getting the rebels altogether out
of East Tennessee is to be found in the
armv of the Patomae. This
naturally led to ycur second proposition,
namely, that eitlitr Sherman or W. F.
Smith should be put in command of the
army " . Both the secretary
of war and Gen. Halleck said
Gen. W. F. Smith would be the best per-
son to try . The secretary
ot war and Gen. Halleck agree with you
in thinking that it would be, on the whole,
much better to select him ,'
