In childhood. dear father, saw thee
In the beauty and bloom Of life
Fall sble 70 struggle with care,
and triumph in every strife
Thou vert heslthfui ana stalwsrt AMI strong
No sorrow upon thy broW,
Not wIinkled, and 6owsa In thy form
Dear father, as thou seem st new.
And then, mid the trials Of life,
Thou ever vert tender to me,
And watched over my youthful years,
As the mariner watches the Sea
And now when the winter Of life
Has fallen upon thy head
And thou art 50 palsied snd frail-
Perhaps en- thy dying bed
Il Is meet that 1 should IN tarn
Watch over thy fading years,
And sootbe IL some measure, thy Pains,
And solace thy dying fears

Christmas Exercises.

There were very pleasant gatherings
at both the Baptist and Methodist
Churches on Christmas Eve. At the
Methodist church the house was well
filled and the exercises interesting. Two
Christmas trees bore liberia. display of
fruit, which later in the evening was dis.
tributed by the little pages amid much
good feeling.
At the Baptist church there was also
large attendance and Christmas tree
heavily laden. After an interesting Sc
ries of recitations by the teachers and
scholars Of the Sabbath School the pres
ents were distributed making an attrac-
tive scene.
At the Congregational church the
Sabbath School had special and appro-
pirate exercises on Sunday evening, con-
sisting of music, recitations, &c. all of
which passed of in an interesting man
ner.

under good Roadway for the winter, and
the first discussion we published last

New England, has the following compli-
mentary but fully deserved notice of this
club
From what we have published of its
discussions and from what we have seen
in the local paper, the Bellows Falls

ablest and best conducted, as well as old
est Farmers Club in New England, and
cannot doubt that it is doing much good
among the farmers Of that town."

Some half century ago wild cat
was shot on tree about halfway be-
tween this place and Walpole, on the
New Hampshire side. Forty years af-
forwards r. S. Blanchard cut down the
tree, and in working it up found shot
and fur in it in perfect state of preser-
walton under some forty layers of wood.
"A fire alarm occurred on Saturday
last ut about IL o'clock in the forenoon.
1t proved to be in Thomas Kiniry's
house near the toll bridge and was soon
extinguished without doing much dam
age. The fire company were promptly
on hand, but did not have to use their
engine. The fire took from defective
and worn out stove pipe.
A little child Of Geo. S. Blake had
one leg severely burnt a few days since.
The little fellow went to pail of hot
water, and put his foot on top oft, when

Geo. c. Foster, late one of the pub
fishers Of the Rochester, IN. H. Cour-
Ter, proposes to start a newspaper at
Springfield, if the people Of that place
offer sufficient encouragement in sub
scription and advertising patronage.
He has already issued his prospectus
and the paper is to be called The Spring
field Free Press. If he finally decides
to start the enterprise, we have no doubt
he will give them good paper.
One day last summer Mr.. A. X.
Adams family at Cold River, about one
mile and half below this village, heard
an unusual noise among the birds in

cause, found that large adder had as

just over birds nest, the contents of
which it was about to devour. 1t is hard.

A very sad and fatal accident oc-
CURED at Winchendon, Mass, on Satur-
day last Marcus L. Jones, of this vii
lage, fireman on Capt. Bowtelles en-
CINE on the Cheshire railroad, went out
on the railing to oil the machine, from
which he fell striking thefrozen earth on
his head with such force that he lived but
about half day. Young Jones, was of
exemplary habits, and cared for a wild
owed mother living in Weathers6eld, who
arrived at Winchendon q few hours af-
ter his death. He was "a years of age.
The cause of his fall may have been new
over-shoes which were slippery. He had
resided here some three years and was
held in high esteem, and his forethought
is we'll attested in the fact that he had a
life insurance of $4,000, in favor of his
mother.

and they hope to be benefited by the
course which he intends to give.
The Townshend Farmers Club met
Monday evening, Dec. 10th, and discuss

farmers of the town, and committee
was chosen to find how many COWS could
be obtained for the purpose.
