He was seated in a chair at his home when he died. His Wife and Attorney Robert I. Lamson, who made his home with the Shuttle-worths, were present when the end came. The colonel slumped in his chair and 'was dead. Heart trouble caused death.
A graduate of Norwich University here in 1891, Colonel Shuttleworth came to Northfleld to reside two years ago following his retirement from the army after 38 years of service. He was elected a trustee of Norwich- four years ago. In 1896 he established the Shuttleworth Sabre awarded annually to the Norwich cadet best in military work.

To Move Crown Point Lighthouse. The big flasher lighthouse at Crown Point, N. erected two years ago when the Champlain Bridge was built, will be moved to Windmill Point, in Alburg, and the property there turned over to the United States customs service in order to aid the antismuggling activities of the Blues, It was learned Monday. The lighthouse at Crown Point, one of eight under the care of the United States Lighthouse Service, is no longer deemed necessary because of the lights on the bridge. It is 60 feet in height, it will be moved to the new location within two months, although It was at first hoped the work could Ibe completed by July 1.
In conjunction with the light directly opposite at Rouses Point, N. these two lights will give the customs men a day and night sweep of the water entrance to the country through which. In times past, many liquor cargoes are reputed to have passed. The light will be tended by the import guardians, who will also use the government reservation at the spot as a sugsidiary headquarters. The Rouses Point light will use gasoline Instead of oil, and both will give a flickering instead of a fixed light, the flicker lasting three-tenths of a second.
The Vermont light will be white, the Rouses Point light red. Another announcement of interest to Lake Champlain navigators is that toe light In Otter Creek will be changed from red to green in conformity with regulation maritime custom. Men of the U. s. L.
H. S. tender, "Beach, at present engaged in carrying supplies to the Colchester lighthouse, have just finished the work of relieving the 68 spar buoys on the lake, placing new ones in their place.

ST, ALBANS, JUNE 9, 1931. A High Rating. The various units of the Vermont National Guard have Just been given thei annual inspection. The results In most Instances are most gratifying. For Instance, in submitting his report on Company of Burlington Major Philip S.
Wood, who made the Inspection, said that it was a most excellent company in every respect And how" about Company Lets see what Major Wood has to say about the St. Albans unit in: his re port- Here are a few remarks: This Is an excellent company. The mariner in which the individuals answered questions and the way the company acted throughout the tests Indicates that good instructional metliods are used. (This company does a.t grtat deal of firing with both machine gun and pistol and has an excellent record as to qualifications. It is believed that this unit could go into action after a comparatively short period of Intensive training and make a creditable showing- It has an excellent recreational room, a privately built club house at the range and morale is of high order.
This is the best trained machine gun company In the Military Inspection officers are not noted for superfluous words of commendation. Therefore Major Wood's report is indeed a tribute to the efficiency of the local company. And not only that. Adjutant General Johnson, Jn forwarding the Inspection report to Captain Pollard, adds this comment: This office has nothing but praise for the condition of your organization as shown by this report. Your rating of per cent for readiness for offensive combat service' is considered excellent.
In fact, no unit received a higher rating. It is perfectly apparent from Major Woods official report and from General Johnsons comment thereon that Company does not have to take the rear ranks for any of them. St. Albans should indeed be proud of the high standing which Company occupies in the 172nd infantry. Certainly a more favorable report could hardly be expected.
Time Will Tell. The Burlington News voices the hope of every Vermont milk producer with these words: "It actually begins to seem possible that the depression in the price of milk in New England is nearing its end. Enough creameries and dairymen have accepted Governor Wilsons plan, and joined the company to stabilize milk sales, to assure its success it is said in the papers. We hope so. Time will tell.
We are soon to learn something of the reports of the Vermont Commission on Rural Life, which has made an extensive study of religious, social and business conditions in the rural districts of the state. A great mass of information obviously has been compiled and the revelations in the reports will undoubtedly prove of great interest and possibly most enlightening. But will the findings result In any action? From what we can gather out of Jim Taylors advance publicity about dolling up Vermont," in announcing the state chamber of commerce meeting, it looks as though it were going to be full dress affair! this time.
