Every one who is at all interested in the or ganization of tho team should be present. Not only should the players The Reunion. But little could be said of the re union in detail, although taken as a whole in spite of the torrents of rain which fell the veterans passed two days with very enjoyable results. The village people decorated in quite an elaborate manner as usual ar 1 prepared for the expected torch-light procession. Floods of water came down and a good many had shut their houses and places of business and gone to bed when word was re ceived that the procession was com ing. The line of march was some what abbreviated but under the cir cumstances the procession was a suc cess with inspiring music from the Johnson and Waterbury bands. The attendance on Friday was the largest of any first day of reunion held and if good weather had followed there would have been the largest attend ance and most enjoyable event of the kind that has been held here. NOTES. Owing to the wet weather the priz s offered were not competed for. The Green River Guards added much to the military appearence of the event. Aside from the usual attractions, "paralyze the coon" had a large patronage. W. G. MeClintock is the new Com mander. A full list of officers will be given next week. Morrisville people showed their us ual patriotism in the general decora tions and illuminations made. Good music was furnished by the Waterbury and Johnson bands and North Hyde Park drum corps, all adding much to the occasion. Comrade Thomas' poem was well received. It was rendered in a very enthusiastic manner, and the several " hits " in it caused outbursts of laughter. The attendance was rauoh larger than could have been expected with such weather and the financial condi tion of the association will probably not suffer much. Capt. Kenfield while at the reunion the first day was thrown from his horse dislocating his right shoulder. Notwithstanding his lameness he was on hand Saturday and took an ac tive part in the festivities. The base-ball match between the second nines of Johnson and Mor risville w;ts played under difficulties, liut seven innings were played, at the close of which the score was 16 to 15 in favor of the former. The Morris ville boys wished to finish the game and therefore claimed it on that ground. The presence of Department Com mander Morgan, of Rutland, was a verv pleasant event the last day. Many of the boys met him for the first time and the cordial manner in which he greeted them had the effect of making them feel at once as if they were old friends. His speech, or rather talk, to the boys was atten tively listened to and received with cheers. Despite the rain a large crowd as sembled in the vicinity of the judge's stand to listen to the speakers of the day Hon. Frank Plumley of North field and Hon. C. P. Hogan of St. Albans. Mr. Plumley spoke over an hour and was attentively listened to. It was not the spread-eagle Fourth of July address of the olden time but souud, carefully prepared truths, ex pressing practical thought which must have good effect upon all who listened. Mr. Hogan's address was also well received and elicited frequent applause. The sham fight of Saturday after noon ended in a manner altogether more realistic than was down on the nro'Tiiranie. "Black Betsey" the twelve pound cannon was being work ed as rapidly as possible to assist in renu sinsr the enemy. JoimAmiuon 01 Eden, who was ra mming nome a cart ridge, was badly injured by a prema ture discharge, ms injuries resulting in the loss of one hand and two fingers from the other with consider able da majze to his face and eyes. A A. Darlinr had one arm slightly in jured by a flying piece of ramrod and the hand 01 the man wno was tuumo- ing the breech of the gun was quite badly burned. Just what caused the accident is not known. Mr. Amidon blames no one. He was brought here to Mr. Hewson's where his injuries wpre a ttended to and he is doing well I wish to ask each one of the com rades to remember that we are to have a reunion next year and I hope all will respond as readily to the call of my successor a s they have to mine. Let us try to have the seventh annu al gathering surpass the sixth and make these meetings a credit to the G. A. It. and the country. Comrades I wish there was no mis fortune to record, but the sad occur rence near the close of the exercises prompts me to say a few words in behalf of a suffering man. The dis charge of a cannon which resulted in the hea t and excitement of a contest and although many can tell how it might have been avoided, we do not know how it was caused, and do not feel at liberty to lay the responsibility to anyone. It was an accident. John Amidon was a poor man liv ing on a hill farm with a wife and large family of children to support. He left his work to come and spend the National Holiday with us, and while helping to carry out the pro gramme met with an accident which disables him for life. His condition is pitiful and should receive the sym pathy of all. His family is wholly dependent upon him for support ami he is unable to hire his farm work done. A sum of nearly fifty dollars was quickly contributed. I am truly thankful to those who have contrib uted so freely of their money and care but. I feel we ought to do more, dlis haying must be done by the helping hands of friends and neighbors, and unless the best medical skill is em ployed his life cannot be saved. All contributions should be sent to S. W. Hinds, North Hyde Park, Vt., and I appeal to all who read to help us. He is our comrade and brother and let each one who has . the heart of a man do something to relieve the distress of the afflicted family. " As ye would that men shouldjdo unto you, do ye even so unto them." Respectfully Yours, J. S. Stevens. STOWE. Mrs. Phebe Mower is in town on a visit. H. C.

Mr. Bigelow was a form er pupil of this school and hud recently pre sented the district with a beautiful flag 414x9 feet which has waved from a nice staff on the school building for several months past. These gifts are in entire keeping with the generous spirit of Mr. Bigelow and if properly cared for will be of great value to the school. The people of the district fully appreciate the generosity and thoughtfulness of the donor and have caused to lie placed in the school room a nice depository for their safe keeping when not in use. Mr. Bigelow has also re membered the church near by with an equally liberal spirit for which he will in time be duly rewarded. To the Public. Eden Mills, Vt., July 6, 1891. To the Lamoille Valley Veteran Asso ciation, S. of V., W. It. C. and Gen eral Public: In closing my service as comander of our association I wish to say a few words expressing my interest in the work and pleasure and appreciation of your assistance in our Sixth An nual Reunion. The declining interest shown for a few years past and the possibility of tl f.i iliifti t hiw vp:i r has incited my best efforts to make this meeting one of the most successlul ever held. 10 i.iuoiul I have snared neither tune nor money and the result has been most gratifying. I am aware however that this suc cess is not wholly due to my efforts, but the interest and am given uy those whom I have consulted contrib uted in no small decree to the success of the occasion, 'the large attend ance of the public made it a financial success and added to the pleasure of all present. The bands and drum corps in their tidy and orderly np pearance and the excellence of their music would have been a credit to any gathering. The speakers of the day proved themselves fully compe tent to deal with their subjects and I can say nothing to add to their rep utation; but I wish to say that I fully appreciated their remarks and especially the advice to the veterans. To each of these and to the several G. A. R. Posts, S. ofV. Camps and W. It. C.,I wish toexpress my thanks and gratitude for your presence and assistance. I do not want to dis- . I a.

A respectable delegation were in this vicin ity from No. Cambridge recently soliciting substantial aid toward feeding the multitude which were expected at Jeifersonville July 4. This remindsour people of the fact that a few years since this sectiou was heavily oppressed by an emergency in buying land nnd building for railroad accommodations, and wepntour own ' shoulders to the wheel " to accomplish t he desired end. Such reminders will come up ns the years pass, if such solicitations could he liiademiitunllv recinrocal as between friend and neighbor it would be to theadvantage of society. But too often it is met by a cold, sordid and supercilious mnnner, as between country and village, or city city nnd town.
