The Goodriches of England descended from an ancient Saxon family much more ancient than the date of the Norman Conquest. Its members were in possession of titles, lordships, houses and lands. At the fall of Harold, the last of the Saxon kings, they were driven from their possessions, and their lands confiscated to the crown. and parcelled out to the followers of the conqueror. Portions of their possessions are enrolled in the Doomsday book as titles of land holders under Norman lords. These records were made

daughter of John Davis, in 1817,who died November 20, 1851 ; second, Mrs. Nancy J. Wood, of Saxton's River, Vt., July 5, 1854, who died in December, 1869 ; and third, Mrs. Mary J.

Harris was one of the incorporators of the Brattleboro Savings bank, has been a trustee from the beginning, and for several years has been, and now is, its president. He was delegate at large from Vermont to the Republican National Convention in 1884. MI. Harris is of positive, energetic, and self-reliant type, quick to see and prompt to do, punctual in the discharge of all his obligations, straightforward and fairminded, and inspires implicit confidence in those with whom he comes in contact. Liberal and public spirited, he is always ready to promote social order and morality. Concise and fluent of style, he wields a vigorous and pungent pen; and has contributed largely to the public press for the past thirty years. His articles have aided in the right settlement of many controversies, and have powerfully assisted many valuable public enterprises. As a public speaker, he is direct, earnest, forcible ; endowed with the power of tone and graceful utterance ; and of such characteristics as would have raised him to high rank among legal advocates had he associated himself with them. He is now in the prime of mature manhood, and in the full vigor of mental and physical power. Education and experience have made him emphatically a man of affairs, of correct personal habits, and of sound moral and political principles -his influence is uniformly enlisted on the right side.

No more consistent example of temperance can be found, having for half a century enjoyed a total abstinence from, and inde- pendence of alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee, and during this period he has performed an amount of labor rarely equaled. An early riser, a constant worker, frugal, honest, and in punctuality a human chronometer, he has been a successful farmer, a poet, " some of whose poems would do honor to mas- ters of the poetic art," and a concise public speaker, who never rises without something to say.

laws, the officers drew a stipulated sum for distilled drink, on their annual drill before muster, Samuel Pattridge, making his strictly temperance principle practical, has the credit, by his influence, of securing the vote of the officers to use their yearly allowance for the purchase of equipments, or the general good of the company.
