Forefathers' Rock.

The beautiful Pilgrim Almanac has an
illustration Of this topic, with the inter,
esing detail below.
In the year 1920, there stood on the
beach Of sandy shore, at the southeast
ern curve Of Massachusetts, Bay, beneath
an abrupt ridge facing the sea and some
twenty to thirty feet high, large boulder
greenish granite, upon whose top some
times covered by the angry waves driven
in before the northeast wind, probably no
white man had ever stepped foot. On the
2lst of December, a little shallop was
steered to the foot of this rock, and upon
it climbed one after another. a small par
ty of emigrants, seeking a home in the
wilderness where they might worship God
according to the light which he had given
them. This sandy shore, then covered
with woods, was the shore of Plymouth,
the granite BOULDER was the Forefathers'
Rock, and the party Of sea.beaten, care
worn emigr,nts. were portion of the
Pilgrim Fathers.
1t was natural that the Pilgrims should
themselves regard the rock merely as hav-
ing been the place where they landed, and
that their immediate descendants, with
the cares of new country upon their
minds and hands. should have dwelt but
little upon the hallowed associations which
were gathering around it. Yet we find
that in l74l when it was proposed to
build a wharf near the rock-whose posi-
ton had been up to that time undisturbed
Elder Thomas Faunce, who was born
in 1916, fearing that the rock might be
injured, expressed great uneasiness and
in the presence of many citizens pointed
it out as the one on which the Pilgrims
had landed, from their own testimony re-
peatedly given to himself.
The rock was broken in two in an at
tempt during the Revolution to remove it
to the Town Square. The piece repre-
scented in the engraving, is now placed in
front of Pilgrim HALL, where it is sur
rounded with heavy iron railing, upon
which are the names of the passengers Of
the May Flower. The other piece re-
mains in its original site; and the Pilgrim
Society is erecting over ii canopy Of
granite, for the double purpose Of enabling
it to be seen, and to preserve it.

Some months since we published from
the Rutland Courier an account Of
surgical operation, by DR.. Sanborn of
Rutland, by which a broken arm, which
refused to unite was wired together and
ultimately made sound. We learn from
the Courier that DR.. s. has performed
another similar operation, upon a young
NAH who had an arm broken four years
ago in a threshing machine. In June
last three years after the accident, he put
himself under the care of DR.. g., who per-
formed the following operation:
The bones were cut down upon and ex.
posed, and small portion removed from
the end of each fragment. These ends
were then pierced with gimlet and
through the holes was passed stout sill.
yer wire, which was twisted in such
manner as to bring the fragments closely
and firmly together The wire was thus
allowed to remain for number of weeks,
when it was removed, and the bones were
found to be grown together. The patient
went home on the sixth week with the
arm quite strong, though forbidden to use
it for time. A letter recently received
from him states that he has been at work
two months, and that his arm is strong
and well as ever.

The Annual Report on the Registry Of
Deaths, Births and Marriages, prepared
by DR.. G. L. ALLEN Of this place, under
the direction of the Secretary of State.
The Report makes volume of 16 pages,
and is in many respects more complete
than the first Report, which received gen.
eral commentator of the press. We
shall give it more complete notice at a
subsequent time. We publish the follow
ing at the request of the committee
School District Clerks are informed
that the Blanks for the Registry and Re-
turn of Births, Marriages and Deaths,
may be obtained from the Town Clerks.
Of their respective towns, in the month of
January. 1t is important that these rec
ords be accurately made and promptly
returned to the Town Clerk on or before
the first day Of MAJ Oh, in each year
as prescribed by the Registration Act of
1856 and 1857.
The attention of Ministers and Justices
of the Peace is called to the requirement
of return Of a record OF Marriages SOL
emnized by them during the year.
Town Clerks will receive the Blanks
for their several towns through the Office
of the Clerk Of their County, on the first
day of January. They will also receive
copy of the First and Second Registra-
tion Reports, for the use of their Office,
and it is hoped these volumes will be care
fully preserved with the records Of the
Town, for future examination and refer
ence.
We will add that the Directions, in
