Vermont Journal, Windsor, Saturday, July 19, 1884 Windsor Chit Chat Masonic hall is undergoing a through renovation at the hands of the knights o fthe brush, TINKHAM and DITTY. FAY's block is also being brightened up with fresh paint. John REVEL of Chester is to open a new harness shop in this place. James BUNNELL exhibits a specimen of herd's-grass grown on the farm of A. W. HARLOW, measuring over five feet. Geo. T. WINN has a fine exhibition of oil paintings in the front windows of his jewelry store. Theya re the handiwork of Mrs. M. K. PAINE, and have attracted much attention during the past few days. The handsomest currants we have seen this year were grown by that prince of amateur gardeners, Henry D. STONE, Esq. They are of the Holland variety, which were introduced into this section by Issac HOUSTON, agent for H. M.WHITING's nursery. R. R. and S. C. BUCKMAN have received a new 50 horse-power engine, and machinery for their mill. They have leased a large amount of woodland, and will engage largely in the manufacture of shingles, in addition to custom sawing, and grinding. Misses Julia and Gertrude JACKMAN, teachers in the Windsor graded schools, joined a party en route to the National Educational Association at Madison, Wis. They will be absent several weeks. The most spirited political canvass ever known in this town was brought to a close Thursday afternoon by the election of Horace WESTON, Marsh O. PERKINS, Henry L. WILLIAMS and Charles J. JONES, delegates; and Chittenden ROSSITER , Geo. T. LOW, J. R. BREWSTER and C. D. PENNIMAN, substitutes, to attend the Second Congressional District Convention at Montpelier. At a meeting of republicans held at the town hall Friday evening, July 11, a Blaine and Logan club was formed for the canpaign. The meeting was called to order by C. J. JONES, chairman of the town committee. Gilbert A. DAVIS was chosen chairman, and Hugh GILCHRIST, secretary. J. C. ENRIGHT read a draft of a constitution, which, after some amendments, was adopted as the constitution of the club. The following officers were then elected: M. O. PERKINS, president; Gilbert AL DAVIS, 1st vice-president; D. C. F. LESLIE, 2d vice-president; Sumner T. LULL, 3d vice-president; Henry M. HUBBARD, secretary; Charles TUXBURY, treasurer. The following executive committee was then elected: C. J. JONES, Hugh GILCHRIST, J. C.ENRIGHT, J. Russell BREWSTER, Chas. H. FITCH, Geo. T. LOW. In speaking of the trouble between attaches of O'BRIEN's circus the Claremont ADVOCATE says: Clarence FARRELL, ticket seller of O'Brien's circus, made a murderous assault on Edwin BALDWIN, the strong man, at Claremont Junction between twelve and one o'clock Thursday night. The particulars of the affair, as nearly as we can ascertain, are as follows: FARRELL, thinking BALDWIN over attentive to his wife, forbade his speaking to her, but BALDWIN probably did not heed the admonition. After the performance on the fair ground Thursday evening, the attaches of the circus returned to the Junction, where they had left their cars, and BALDWIN entered the sleeping car, divested himself of a part of his clothing and came out on the platform. FARRELL came upon him, drew a large revolver and snapped it at him several times, but it is said that Mrs. FARRELL, in anticipation of trouble perhaps, had withdrawn the cartridges. Finding the weapon useless, FARRELL drew a knife and stabbed BALDWIN several times, inflicting wounds which it was at first supposed would prove fatal, but from which he is now expected to recover. FARRELL was arrested at Bellows Falls, where he is now held. He will be brought to Claremont as soon as a requisition can be had. The concert given to the inmates of the State Prison, on the afternoon of July 4, was one of the best and most enjoyable ever given in that institution.

Vermont Journal, Windsor, Saturday, July 12, 1884 Stephen Chapman, Obituary Stephen CHAPMAN died at Fairlee, Vt., June 19, 90 years, 8 months. He was converted to a positive and rich experience of Christian faith in 1864 under the labors of the Rev. W. G. McALLISTER of the Vermont Conference. He immediately united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and continued to be a member of that body until his death, several years of the time holding an official relation. He was bereaved by the loss of his wife, Mary CHAPMAN, February 18, 1870; and again by the loss of his adopted daughter, Mrs. Mary J. MASON, Oct. 1880. he died at the residence of his son-in-law, Perley MASON, with whom he had a home during his last year. All who knew "Father CHAPMAN" unite in bearing testimony to his worth. He was faithful to his duties as a man and a Christian. No one could associated with him without being charmed by the tenderness and trustfulness of his sprit. It seemed to some who knew him best that the years which he tarried beyond the appointed limit of human life were granted to him as a season for communion with God. Often he would speak of spending the watches of the night in meditation upon the glories of his Saviour, and in praise. To him the Redeemer was vastly more than a divine person made the subject of thought; Christ was a present friend, beloved and precious. When, during the past winter, he was occasionally able to attend the weekly prayer meeting, and stood leaning upon his staff in feebleness, and told of his great joy in the salvation of Jesus, and pleading with the young to accept the same Saviour, the appeals sounded to his pastor almost like a voice from the farther shore. During the lucid moments of his last sickness, his mind steadfastly rested on the heavenly inheritance which to him was only a step beyond. May his mantle fall upon the little church from which he has departed. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
