PUBLISHER'S NOTES.


GEORGE BANISTER, of Warren, on page 239, calls the attention of lumber- men to his steel ox-shoes, new style slide ox-yokes, and unexcelled cant-dogs, which he manufactures and sells at reasonable prices. He makes a specialty of the latter. Mr. Banister also makes a large variety of millmen's tools which have attained a high reputation.


JAMES E. CROSSETT, of Duxbury, (postoffice address Waterbury,) issues a neat card on page 260, which will interest those who have timber to saw or lumber to buy. Special attention is given to orders by mail. Mr. Crossett will be found perfectly reliable in all his dealings, and his goods and prices cannot fail to give satisfaction. We cordially recommend him to our patrons and others.


J. W. GOODELL, of Burlington, advertises his extensive business as a manu- facturer of and dealer in marble and granite goods, on the fly-leaf, opposite back cover. Mr. Goodell has superior facilities, employing, as he does, artists of known skill and experience, and having abundant capital he is ready to

undertake a job of any magnitude desired, and is enabled to offer very lib- eral terms.


HENRY, JOHNSON & LORD, an enterprising firm of Burlington, Vt., offer nepenthe to their suffering brethren, in the several proprietary medicines they manufacture, mentioned in their card on page 258. We would advise all afflicted ones to heed their proclamation and receive a respite from the ills flesh is heir to.


P. L. LYONS, of Montpelier, successor to Spear & Lyons, is the enterpris- ing proprietor of the Montpelier plumbing, steam, and gas fitting works, located on Elm street of that village, as advertised on page 263. He carries a full stock of first-class goods, and is prepared to execute satisfactorily any work in his line entrusted to him. Having an experience of thirty-one years Mr. Lyons knows what his customers desire, and assiduously endeavors to meet their wants. We cheerfully commend him to the patronage of our readers.


THE ROME, WATERTOWN & OGDENSBURG R. R .- From the original short line from Rome to Watertown and Cape Vincent, this road has acquired other lines, until it is now one of the great trunk lines of the state. Passen- gers for pleasure, business, or emigration will find this route, which connects at Norwood and Ogdensburg with the Central Vermont line, one of the most interesting of all the western routes. Traversing a rich agricultural region, the road passes through several cities, and in many places gives the traveler glimpses of Lake Ontario, with its white-winged vessels, and at Niagara Falls offers one of the best views to be obtained by railroad travelers. See card on page 259.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.


PART FIRST.


BARRE .- Among the prominent early physicians was Dr. Robert Paddock, who settled in town at a very early day. His son, Dr. Lyman Paddock, succeeded his father in practice, and passed the most of a long life in his profession here. Dr. J. Henry Jack- son, so well known in Barre at the present time,-and known, too, throughout the state,-has given research into the facts relating to early physicians of Barre, which in his own good time he may give to the public. His well-known practice of doing things in the proper time, and thoroughly, will insure a production, when completed, of much value as a historical record .*


The First Universalist church of Barre was organized October 27, 1796, by Rev. William Farwell. At its organization it consisted of sixteen members, Mr. Farwell being the first pastor. The society built a substantial brick church (the first one) at South Barre in 1821. Through the efforts of Rev. Joseph Sargent the church prospered, and a new church was built of wood at Barre village, in 1852. This building has since been remodeled, repaired, and rededicated. The house has a seating capacity of 500, and the society a membership of 300. At present (April, 1889) the society is without a pastor, though expecting to settle one soon. The original cost of the pres- ent church edifice was $10,000, and the present valuation of church property, in- cluding buildings and grounds, $15,000. The Sunday-school, in session at 12 M. every Sunday of the year, has now 200 members, and a library of 1,000 volumes.


MONTPELIER .- In addition to the newspapers mentioned on pages 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, the following publications have been issued at Montpelier :--


The Botanic Advocate, a monthly, about two years, from 1837, by Drs. Wright and F. A. McDowell. The Vermont Family Visitor, first issued in 1845, was continued about a year. The Watchword, a temperance paper commenced February 14, 1874, was dis- continued after the issue of a few numbers. Rev. J. C. W. Coxe, Rev. J. E. Wright, H. D. Hopkins, and H. A. Huse composed the editorial committee. The Vermont Tem- perance Banner was issued once in the fall of 1879, by W. F. Scott and J. P. Eddy. About 1875 Edward Clark issued one or two numbers of the Era, and Charles F. Burn- ham one or two numbers of the Echo. Both editors were at the time apprentices in the Argus office. Young America, of Lebanon, N. H., was issued here in 1874 by W. M. Kendall, Jr., while attending school. It was an eight-page paper. The Postage Stamp


*In this connection we cannot refrain from advising that in each town a local historical society be formed. Let each member search for facts upon a certain subject delegated especially to him or her. If possible verify from records the information obtained. Be sure that names and dates be accurate. Have the papers so prepared, read before the society, commented upon, and errors noted, which, if they be errors, should be corrected if possible. Such work is somewhat onerous it is true, but it becomes facinating as some lost fact is developed-unearthed from its hiding-place-and in the aggregate a town history will be de- veloped that will prove of great value for local reference and to the future historian-matter enough for several volumes, valuable inaterial, too, may be thus saved to futurity, in most any town, if the people take the proper steps to secure it. The ignorance of some people regarding local history is lamentable, and against that we have often to contend and not always with success. On one occasion the writer visited a house built more than four-score years ago in one of the mountain towns of Vermont, where dwelt a man forty years or more of age and of ordinary intelligence. This man was unable to tell from what town or what state his grandfather-the third settler in the town, and who built and lived through life on the spot where the grandson had always lived-came from .- PUB.
