GREENLEAF, department commander, G. A. R., has received application for a charter for a post at Saxton's River. Birchard post of Newfane is said to have lost $6 by the recent panoramic exhibition of war scenes at Fayetteville, while they made $1 at Townshend. HAPGOOD & ALDRICH of Bellows Falls, wholesale grocers, have filed a petition of insolvency, placing their liabilities at $3,000 and assets at $1,300. A West Rutland young man recently got leave of absence from his employer to attend the wedding of a friend in Albany, N. Y., and word came from him, Tuesday, that he had also "met his fate" at the wedding, and would bring home a bride soon. A story come from Rutland that a farmer in that county, a widower, and well-to-do, recently wrote to a woman near by whom he had never seen, describing the circumstances and said that if he did not hear from her to the contrary in two weeks, he would call there with a minister and be married to her. No letter came and on the appointed day he set out with the parson, found her all ready and they were married on the spot. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 11, 1885 Plymouth Five Corners 12/11/1885 we notice John LYNDS is putting an addition to his residence. Miss DUNBAR is again teaching our "young ideas." Twenty-two scholars. Isaac BRADLEY, who has worked for Mr. RAYMOND as a farm-hand, the past season, has returned to his home in New York. Warren BUCK has moved into the house lately occupied by J. W. WILDER. Mr. WILDER and family have gone to Massachusetts for the winter. The talk now is of a Christmas-tree at the school-house; so, good mothers, sisters and aunties, begin to prepare the gifts with which to deck it. Amos BOYNTON has let his farm, possession to be given March 1st. The place has been "Uncle Amos' " home seventy-five years, he having been born there. He and his worthy wife purpose making their home in Cavendish, with their daughter, Mrs. BOND. Thomas BARKER, an aged man who has been supported by the town for many years, died a few days since. Although the funeral was held Sunday, and a pleasant day there were but a handful present. Query: Had death found him possessed of twenty thousand, would there not have been a large concourse of "old friends and neighbors"?

Samuel THOMPSON, who recently died in Pawlet, was a brother of Israel THOMPSON of this place. Mrs. Henry LAW, accompanied by her eldest son, Leonard, started for Michigan, the 1st inst., where they intend to reside. Mrs. A.

RIPLEY gives work to a number of men. He is having a new dam made. Work is still progressing on the road. George SEWARD has charge of it upon the mountain. Will SIPPLE again has the job to saw the lumber and staves at Pico mill. L. WEST and wife have returned from Hartland, where they have been visiting for three weeks.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 11, 1885 Sherburne 12/11/1885 A dance is advertised at ROBINSON's hall. A singing-school is needed and talked of at the center. The Chaffee road is passable, and business lively in the woods among the lumbermen and steam mills. Four schools are in running order. The other three, I suppose have spring, summer and fall terms, in order to draw public money. A singing-school is commenced at south part of the town, under the instruction of a Mr. BENNETT, who has several schools in the adjoining towns. So everything looks favorable for a successful term. Mr. MAXHAM and wife must take comfort in their old age. They visited their old friends at the north part of the town, were gone four days, and called at eighteen different houses, a week or two ago. John H. DUTTON has in his cellar (without saying anything about his 10-years-old preserves or 13 year-old elderberry wine) a quantity of apples which were put there in 1884, and are perfectly sound and good to eat. The young people are on the tip-toe--good sleighing, a meeting every Sunday at the meetinghouse and also at Estabrook's hall, sociables once in two weeks at farmers' houses (sometimes more frequent), a lyceum Saturday evenings. It is curious how people will talk about their neighbors. Just now the current points to Wm. DOUBLEDAY. Some say he is lucky, others say he "missed it," hiring a fellow to work for him this winter. In reality it's on one's business but their own. Weight of the fellow, 9 1/2 pounds, Dec. 1st. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT

Re; Shippy. Some things never change.................... Neysa ----- Original Message ----- From: Ruth Barton To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 9:31 PM Subject: [VERMONT] Cuttingsville 12/11/1885 The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 11, 1885 Cuttingsville 12/11/1885 Mr. and Mrs. M. J. HOLDEN are anticipating opening a dancing-school at Union hall, next week. We think such gatherings are far preferable to all-night dances. Dan BUTTERFIELD has opened his school for juveniles, and promises to show the best string of young trotters on Spring Lake, this winter, that ever crossed its frozen borders. It is considered by all, without a dissenting voice, that our present winter school, taught by Miss Jennie PATTERSON, is the most satisfactory and ably-conducted of any for years. Teddy HIGGINS an industrious Irishman who has been track-walker on ----------years, has heired a fortune in the old country, and has gone there to receive it. The funeral of William SHIPPY, a former resident of this town, who died at Bowlville, a few days ago, and who had withstood the ills and misfortunes of life eighty-seven years, was attended by children and grand-children abundantly able to defray his funeral expenses, yet refused to, and allowed him to become a town charge. Our poormaster, W. L.BUCKLIN, buried him at the expense of the town; yet we are sending missionaries to convert the heathen. The old WEBB homestead, in this village, was the scene of a brilliant assemblage, last Tuesday, to witness the marriage of Miss Annie H. WEBB to E. C. JOHNSON, head clerk in Dawley & Co.'s mammoth store, Rutland. The house was beautifully decorated with fresh, fragrant flowers, and during the arrival of the guests Knabe's grand upright piano was sending forth its richest, sweetest notes, in response to deftly-touched keys by fair hands. The hymenal halter was politely and properly adjusted by the Rev. Mr. GILLIS, and gracefully accepted by the blushing bride and groom in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The presents were not numerous, but rich and appropriate. Restless steeds were in readiness at the door to convey the happy couple to the railroad depot, where they took the train for Niagara Falls, to return via Boston. Miss Annie is a beautiful girl, with sufficient vivacity to make any home cheerful and happy, and Edward is a genial, affable fellow, with sterling business qualities that will prove a success in life. We count for them a long life of perpetual sunshine, with no tempests or squalls such as often sweep the surface of life's stormy ocean, wrecking many fond hopes and long-cherished anticipations.

Try the website for Vermont Old Cemetery Association: http://www.voca58.org/ There should be a place on there where you can get a copy of the current edition of "Old Burial Grounds of Vermont." I believe Charles Marchant of Townshend, VT is the one who sends them out upon receipt of your check and a mailing label.
