DEATH OF SILAS L. GRIFFITH.
Dies at San Diego, Cal, After a Long Illness.

Griffith of that place, which occurred at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at his winter home, “The Palms,” at San Diego, Cal. Mr. Griffith had been ailing for more than two years with an unusual form of skin disease, which finally resulted in his death. He had been under the care of the most noted specialists on skin diseases in the country, but the disease with which he was afflicted is one of those for which no cure has yet been discovered.

Danby, Vt., which is located at the extreme southern part of Rutland county and on the Bennington and Rutland Railroad, is not by any, means the least among her sister towns in the county. The town was granted a charter in 1761, and therefore takes its place among the earliest town organizations in this part of the State.
