1t will be seen that the whole number is |
IL, and compared with our population
4(nearly ll00) shows Bellows Falls to be a
healthy place. Two Irish are reported
among the list of Incorporate. The great |
est number of deaths occurred in 1857, when
Mr.. Henry prepared 80 graves, but some
IL of these were for persons out of the
village, and a large number were children
who died with canker-rash. The number
of deaths in 1859, was IL same as in 1860.
The ladies of the congregational society
Of Grafton, will hold their annual festival
nj the Town Hall of that place, on We'd
nesday evening, January 20, 1861.
What used TO be is sometimes a little
funny as well as modern things. The 9th
day we were looking over the records of our
village corporation, or city government
more politely speaking-and were not lit
lie amused to see what had happened in its
deliberations during its palmy days. Even
those who participated in it will enjoy it,
and we therefore reproduce the full record
of an adjourned meeting held twenty-one
years ago, as follows
FEBRUARY, 4, 1889. The inhabitants
Of the Bellows Fails Village Corporation,
met according TO adjournment. Meeting
called to order by William Stone, Esq. in
the chair. The proceedings of the last
meeting being read, and no business Of i'm
portance before the House, on motion voted
that bottle of champaign be drank at the
expense of the Corporation. After some
appropriate remarks by gentlemen present,
on motion by Col. Wentworth, voted that
this meeting be dissolved
80. A. BINGHAM, Clerk"
We also give another rich item from the
record of another adjourned meeting held
February, 3, 1910, twenty years since. 1t
is as rich now, to those acquainted in this
place, as then:
O., motion Yoted, That prosecution
be brought against Dea. Jabez Hills for Vi
lating the laws of this city, by sliding down
Hill, and thereby endangering the lives Of
sundry persons"
We find on our return from brief alb.
sence that the bailiffs of our city have put
up posters in which they say the law prohib-
iting coasiing in the streets will be rigidly
forced" We most heartily thank the bal
lifts. We certainly can appreciate THEN
action. Some two years since we came il
collision with a coaster, by which we re-
ceived considerable injury and fortunately
escaped much more; since which we have
felt more fear from coasters than all thC
railway trains this side of Tibet.

to give satisfaction 70 her customers.
