The HOUSEHOLD AND TIMEs-Mr.
L. H. Eastman who canvassed this place
and vicinity with such success last year,
for The Household, will commence this
week to do so again. The fact that he
has already taken over 5000 subscrip-
tons to that paper and many for other
publications the present year speaks well
for the agent as well as the paper. The
Household has reached circulation of
over 10000 and will be enlarged to "a
pages Jan. LIST, while the subscription
price will remain at s1.00 per year.
Probably most of those who took it this
year, will take it next, and many that
did not. The Household is well worthy
of the praise it receives. In connection
with the above we may also say that Mr..
Eastman while canvassing at this end OF
the county for the various publications
for which he is agent, will also receive
subscriptions for the TINES, from among
those who do not now take it.

SPECIAL Town MEETING.-At the
special town meeting held on Tuesday,
about seventy-fve voters were present
Col. Asa Wentworth was elected mode
rator, and the main matter for consider
alton appeared to be the project of turn
ing the water back to its old channel at
Bartonsville, from which it was changed
by the great freshet in October. This
would restore water to the paper mills
there. and also mainly the value of prop
erty in that place before the disaster Of
October, and so far would also keep up
the grand list in that part of the town.
A number of citizens of Bartonsville
were present, and explained the case, and
did not propose nor ask the town to do
anything more than they would be liable
to do in any event, but simply ask the
town % put what they will do with what
private enterprise will raise and thereby
restore that part Of the town to its for
mer value and prosperity. At present
they asked for an inquiry. The prop
sition was received with favor by the
meeting, and it was voted that commit
tee of three whose duty it shall be to
thoroughly examine the matter, and to
report either at special meeting, or at
the annual meeting in March, as to the
expense of doing what the people of Bar
louisville desire, and what the town would
be legally called upon to do otherwise.
The meeting elected as such commit
tee, G. B. Eddy, Haskell /. Wiley, @.
NJ. Doran.
The selectmen reported that the ex-
pense of rebuilding the bridges lost by
the flood would be about SIS 1000, and to
part pay this, the meeting voted tax Of
thirty-fve cents on the dollar to be add.
ed to the tax voted last March which
was sixty-fve cents ON the dollar with
four per cent discount if paid on or be.
fore the first day of February next.

PLYMoUTH.-Julius c. Coolidge, son
of Calvin G. Coolidge, Esq, was thrown
from colt which he was riding on Mon
day morning, 29th ult., and was consid-
erably injured. The colt in consequence
of beng balled with snow, stumbled and
fell, entangling foot of young Coolidge
under him, spraining it badly and sepa-
rating the bones of the ankle. He had
serious day of it Monday. DR.. Scott
was called in the evening and admins
tered to his physical necessities. Next
morning found him better, with a good
prospect of recovery.
Same day of the above accident, an
infant son of Charles Emery died under
distressing circumstances. The child
seemed to be fretful and in pain an old
lady present advised a dose of laudanum
saying two drops would be about right.
Its mother DESTROYS of easing the troub-
led child, and not dreaming of any dis.
astrous effect from the medicine, admin.
istered the fatal dose, and in short time
the child was in spasms. DR.. Scott
was called as soon as possible, and every
effort made which parents fond love
could suggest, but alas in few hours
their darling babe was cold in death
leaving the distracted parents to mourn
the untimely loss of an only son.

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION
Mr.. Robert A. Hutchins of Brandon, re-
ceived a rebel bullet at the Wildernessin
1864, for which many unsuccessful
searches have been made. On the first
inst, it was successfully removed from his
hip, by Dr. A. d. Woodward of Bran
don, assisted by Drs. O'Connor of Bos-
ton and DIR. Peck of Brandon. The bull.
let was large, full-sized rebel bullet,
very roughly made, and was between 4
and 5 inches beneath the surface of the
hip. The Major has suffered with il for
over five years, and more in the last
three months than ever before, and has
borne it as but few could have done
Several attempts have been befire made
to find it, but never with success and its
removal is justly regarded as a great
surgical operation, requiring surgical
skill of the highest order, and reflects
great credit upon the surgeons engaged
in the operation. The Major is now do
ing well and receiving the cordial con-
CALCULATIONS of his friends.
