breaking ice about thirty feet with his

| WALDEN,
DIsTILLING--One Fred Shan
ty, living i'll the woods in the north
east part Of Walden, has been for
some time making whisky on a small
scale, and supplying the people with
the article, as they might want. Com
plant had been made to the town
grand juror, but he, careful soul, de-
clined to take any notice for fear he
might make the town a bill of cost.
On the last day of December, Charles
Mason, who lives in the same neigh
bOrhOOd with Shanty, visited him and
drank so much, that after starting
home and going half mile, he found
1t necessary to lie down in the snow
to rest. After resting two or three
hours he came to enough to know that
he was freezing, and crawled another
half mile on his hands and knees to
a neighbOrs, who took him III and
thawed him out. 1t is thought that
he will lose his hands, which were
frozen to the wrists. His feet are
also badly frozen.
Shanty's case was brought to the
notice Of Judge Bell, who is deputy
assessor for this district, and he is az
ter him, for violation Of the revenue
law. Bell has also made complaint
to the states attorney, for violation
of the state law.
PROLFIC.-Mr. Albert @. Dimmick
of South Walden, has made from two
native cows, since the first of April to
the first of January, four hundred and
eighty pounds of butter. Average
price on sale, 40 cts, per h., amount
inc to 1892. Who beats.
The canker rash is somewhat prev
alent in the north part of the town,
different families and a number of
children are sick, but thus far it only
exhibits itself in a mild form. No one
can tell from whence it came, or width
er it goeth, as these number of cases
were the first Ill this section of coun
try for a number of years. 1t made
its appearance in three different fam
lilies about the same time.
