Mr. DRYSDALE had been chief engineer of the Bennington fire department and president of the state firemen's association, but had resigned these offices. He left Bennington Wednesday night of last week, saying to his friends that he should never return. He had done a large business and been a liberal subscriber to all public enterprises. A too extensive credit system caused his failure. Owen PIERCE of Fairhaven, aged 32, was accidentally killed Saturday. he was an employe of the Lake Bomoseen slate company, and it is thought that the stone which he was unloading fell upon his back.

H. , the caboose broke loose, but the brakes held it. The brakes on the rest of the train would not hold and it ws soon flying down the grade on the icy track at lightning speed. Near Bemis station the whole train except the engine and forward car plunged 500 feet down an embankment. Two brakemen who wer on the train were instantly killed. The cars, containing corn and grain, were smashed in pieces. Another landmark went up in flames Saturday night, when the Dixon hotel at Underhill was burned. It was closed for the winter, and the falmes probably started from the stoves, in which fires were built Saturday to keep the house warm. The building and furniture were valued at $12, 800, and the insurance was $8000. the original part of the house was built in 1803, and it has been a resort for people from all over New England Rutland had a serious coasting accident last week Thursday.

The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, Friday, January 16, 1891 Newfane News Probably few of the people who patronized the meat market in Gen. FIELD's Cabinet building, ever thought of that nugget of New fane gold, weighing eight ounces, that was bought by the general as a specimen for his cabinet. It was found near Williamsville village, and is said to have been converted into jewelry for some of the FIELD family. The old sign on the "Cabinet building," "M. FIELD's law office" printed thereon, was noticed last year among rubbish under Union hall. The market no longer has a place in that historic spot, but a similar place has been opened by Fred PIERCE at J. D. PIERCE's. Next Tuesday the corporators and officers of Windham county savings bank are to have their annual dinner at the County House. A genuine thaw Monday rapidly demoralized the traveling to an extent which interfered with larger attendance at the temperance lecture. The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. CUSHING next Wednesday at 3 P. M. The friends and church brothers and sisters of Mr. and Mrs. Joel GROUT gave them a surprise on their 25th wedding anniversary by presenting to them useful tokens of silver, accompanied with hearty congratuations and social greetings. The temperance address, given by mr. J. E. CRANE of Middlebury, in Union hall Monday evening, was most instructive. He illustrated with stereopticon views the evils of the liquor traffic in its different phases, and the facts stated, together with the illustrations, were so plain and convincing that no one could fail to draw the right conclusion. The close attention given showed how much interest was awakened. (My grandmother who grew up in Newfane used to tell about these temperance meetings.

The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro,Friday, January 16, 1891 Bellows Falls News L. S. HAYES and wife are enjoying a trip to Washington, starting Wednesday and expecting to be absent about ten days. Mr. & Mrs. C. W. OSGOOD went to St. Johnsbury Tuesday to hear Stanley's lecture. Seldom has it been the case that the streets and roads of our vicinity were as nearly impassable by man or beast as was the case Monday of this week after the 24 hours of steady rain. The streets were slippery and horses went into the soft snow and slush almost out of sight. During the night the weather turned somewhat colder and left all in better shape Tuesday. Arrangements are being made by Prof. SIMPSON for an evening of prize speaking late in the present term among the High school scholars, and the contestants are busy at their work of preparation. The proceeds are to be applied toward a fund for the purchase of a new piano for the room. Quite an amount of damage was done to the frescoing of the opera house Sunday and Monday by the ice accumulating on the roof and causing it to leak badly. A portion of the week the library room had to be closed because of the water making its way in there. Our village was stirred again last Saturday by the appearance of a whole court hailing from Brattleborok consisting of Justice S. H. SHERMAN, State's Attorney HITT and Officers GORDON and McCLURE, who at once went at the business which they had on hand, looking after the proprietors of certain places where it was shown by evidence that the prohibitor law was being cracked. Twoplaces only were visited this time. The Commecial House, which was proceeded against Dec. 24 and then fined $400 and costs, plead guilty this time to 30 offences at $15 each, making $450 besides costs. The drug store of Timothy SULLIVAN, who was fined $100 in December and was generally understood to have agreed to stop selling, was this time fined $150 and costs. It would seem as if in case the state's attorney means what he says as to following guilty parties up every time they are shown to be violators, they could hardly stand as heavy drafts, and it would result in stopping the sales. At both these places the officers found quite a large amount of the contraband article which, no one claiming it, was promptly adjudged for, foreited and turned over to the town agency, increasing its stock to the amount of about $175. Dr. KNIGHT, the new dentist, is well settled in his new office rooms in the Brown block Those who have patronized him at Alstead speak of him as a first class workman. Rev. Father FEENEY has been confined to his bed the most of the past two weeks, and no services have been held at his church across the river. Mrs. L. S. HAYES and Mrs. N. G. WILLIAMS were the delegates from here to the annual meeting of the Woman's board of missions at Hartford, Conn., Tuesday and both went there on the afternoon train of Monday. Last week Thursday Robert KEEFE reported to the police that he had been knocked down and robbed of his watch by Mike McAULIFFE, a well-known tough of our village. McAULIFFE returned the watch the next day of his own accord, claiming taht he took it from Rob because he owed him, which Rob denies. Papers were issued for the arrest of McAULIFFE Saturday. E. H. WILLSON of Lamour, Dak., is in town, and will spend the larger part of the winter here with his family. The recent death of Judge DEVENS of Massachusetts bring to mind with some of our older inhabitants a time when it ws generally reported that he proposed marriage to a lady well known as a reident of Bellows Falls and a member of one of our first families. He was refused by her to accept the hand of a well-known business man her many years after. (Why don't we have news like this in our local papers anymore. RHB) James B. ALBEE is filling a number of private ice houses in the village with ice of good quality cut from the Connecticut river, the same as for a number of years past. Mr. ALBEE has had quite an experience in the wholesale ice business here, and secures the ice for those having homes in which to store it at a very cheap figure. Many people were pained to hear of the sudden death on Wednesday of Charlie, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. KIDDER of this place. Though in somewhat delicate health for the last year, he had been able to continue his studies and was in school until a few days before his death. Monday and Tuesday of this week he was confined to the house with a cold, but nothing serious was apprehended until Tuesday night, when he was taken alaarmingly ill and failed rapidly through the night, and about 6:40 A. M. breathed his last. The cause of his death was enlargement of the heart. He was 16 years of age. Charlie was a quiet, studious boy, a promising scholar, beloved among all his mates and by all who knew him. The boy choir at the Episcopal church, consisting of 22 boys and men, under the efficient leadership of Mr. F. CARRUTHERS, is proving a pleasant innovation. As a matter of course much time is necessary for the perfection of such a choir, many of the boys being quite young and unaccustimed to the service of the church, but since their first appearance on Christmas Eve, marked improvement has been made as the result of careful and pains-taking training and diligent practice. Mr. CARRUTHERS is to be congratulated on his success thus far. The officers elected at the annual meeting of the Universalist society were--Moderator, F. G. PIERCE; secretary, E. A. EATON; treasurer, C. K. LABAREE; standing committee, J. A. EATON, M. B. KELLEY, John ROBERTSON; trustee for legacy fund, John T. MOORE.

There were people that didn't get listed. However, you have to remember that in 1840, only the name of the head of household is listed. They could have been living with another family and the name may or may not have been Bapp. Rachel At 07:31 PM 1/23/2009, you wrote: >What do you think is the percentage of people who didn't get >listed?by the early census takers?
