    3. The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, January 29, 1886 Ludlow 1/29/1886 C. N. NORTH has moved to Springfield. C. K. STODDARD, now of Centre Rutland, was in town Monday. Henry FARWELL is home from Brattleboro for a couple of weeks. Mrs. Asa FARWELL is spending the week with her daughter, in Burlington. Miss Nellie DONAHUE of Plymouth, Mass., has been visiting Mrs. S. A. RILEY. Dodge & Dinjian's stereopticon entertainment had a fair attendance. Miss Effie J. PETTIGREW is ill from pneumonia; how seriously is not known at this writing. E. J. WHITCOMB and O. GASSETT attended the Masonic dedication at Rutland, Wednesday. J. H. BLAKELY was called to Holyoke, Mass., Saturday night, by the illness of his mother; returning Monday night. FULLAM & ADAMS are receiving logs by the car-load from Healdville, which are rolled from the cars down the bank into the mill-yard. R. E. HATHORN, H. L. WARNER, and J. Y. RAISTRICK, represented Howard post, G. A. R., at the State encampment in Burlington, last week. James PURCELL went to Rutland, last week, and purchased a monument of Brown & Bagley, to be set up as soon as weather permits. Rev. R. T. POLK of Dorchester, Mass., will preach in the Universalist church here, next Sunday. Mrs. Lorinda TAYLOR has returned from a two weeks' visit in Brattleboro. She will go to New York state, soon, for the balance of the winter; thence West for the summer. A. F. HUBBARD of Tyson showed us, the other day, a "bead" of gold refined by himself from an ounce of ore from a vein on his land, that proved the value of the ore at that particular spot to be $100 per ton. A social dance under the management of F. A. MAYO and Geo. W. HARRIS, was held at Hammond hall,Thursday evening. Still the changes in the butcher business continue. WOODWARD having "rented out" RAND, the new proprietor of the People's Market, he has bought out Paff & Co., and taken possession there. PAFF will lie idle awhile, to recover his health. The sale of the "Indian Vegetable Elixir, " for this place, has been left with Dr. COOLEDGE. The remarkable testimonials given in another column are but a few of many and come under our own personal knowledge. John AYLWARD's team of horses, with logging-sled attached, started to runaway on Depot street Wednesday afternoon, but were caught at the Maine street crossing by some nervy young men, most conspicuous among whom was James REAGAN, who caught one of them by the bit while they were "on the wing." No damage is reported. There is need of missionary work among the juveniles on our streets. It is far too common an occurrence to hear these infantile lips uttering the most shocking oaths--and these, too, as often as any way, from the children of God fearing parents. It is well enough to sing "Where is my wandering boy tonight?" while the little cherub is asleep in his crib; but it is better not to forget that the daylight doesn't shield from moral danger, and to know where and with whom the lad is spending his play-hours. WILLARD & ROLLINS of Proctorsville have closed with A. J. DEMARY a contract to drew for them from near Healdville, 300,000 feet of logs per year for three years, to FULLAM & ADAMS' mill, where it is to be worked up on contract by F & A, for W. & R. It seems the clapboard machine recently put in is the property of the latter, and was put in for the purpose just stated. School in district No. 9 (Smithville) closed Jan. 22d. Number of scholars, 25. Names of those present every day--Clarence T. BEAN, Lilla J. BEAN, Joel F. ELLIS, Bertha M. GIDDINGS, Edna F. JOHNSON, Etta M. MAYO, Guy E. MAYO, Ira N.

SANDERS, teacher. J. A. MAYO drove into the village, last Saturday, for weighing, what the veteran butcher Herrick WOODWARD says are the finest pair of beef-cattle ever shown in town. They are steers, less than four years old, and weigh 3,780 pounds. Mr. MAYO says he worked them all summer and fall, and that they weighed 3,215 pounds about the middle of September. He bought them a little less than two years ago, when they weighed 2,140. They are either a particularly fine breed, or have fallen into particularly good hands; perhaps both. The following from the Cambridge, Mass., TRBUNE will be of interest to the friends hereabouts of the parties named: The marriage of John A. HUBBBARD and Miss Jennie B. IRVING took place a the residence of the groom's mother, Mrs. George HUBBARD, 69 Mt. Auburn street, last Wednesday evening, Rev. Franklin JOHNSON officiating. Miss Cassie MUNROE was bridesmaid and John W. HODGE was best man. Miss Emma TAYLOR presided at the organ. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. HUBBARD held a reception, at the close of which they departed on their wedding journey. The young couple were the recipients of an unusually large number of presents, noticeable among them being a silver ice pitcher and goblet from Messrs. Enoch and George BEANE, of the firm of E. Beane & Co., employers of Mr. HUBBARD, and an English dinner set from the clerks in the same establishment. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
