GRAFToN.-The first snow Of the sea
son gave to the earth wintery look on
Saturday morning last, but mild at.
mosphere obliterated every trace of its
ever having an existence, before noon Of
the same day. On Wednesday morning
the earth was again hidden by beauti-
full white covering in the shape of snow
of four inches depth. just how long it
will remain depends entirely upon the
state of the weather.
Mr.. Luther Conant, one day last week,
fell from load of hay fracturing one
rib and badly bruised one shoulder. He
is now doing well with a prospect of a
speedy recovery.
The fall term of the village schools
taught by Miss Abbie f. Lowell of Oak
ham, Mass, and Miss Hattie Lawrence
of Windham, closed on Friday last.
Both teachers were competent, thorough
and faithful, and by their untiring efforts
to benefit their pupils, secured their just
ly merited love and the respect and best
wishes of their parents.
The Spragne suspension, price of gold,
and sad accounts which fill the papers
of the condition of business men, who it
seems have hung out largely in excess of
their capacity to dry, fail to affect the
business of Grafton. No shortening OF
time, reduction of the price of labor or
delay of payment is thought of by our
business men whose reserve is always
found ample to meet any emergency.
Sabin's spindles whirl as rapidly, his
looms clatter as noisily as ever, and the
girls who tend them, (who, by the way, are
said to be the best looking set in the
county, receive their wages promptly.
Holmes, encouraged by his success the
pas. season, will increase his forces and
manufacture a larger number of churns
than ever IN one season before.
LUG fiehcn SaFrldSe W. are mahlbg
vigorous efforts to finish double the
aumbef of sleighs ever manufactu ed in
their shop in one season. Their sleighs
are of new pattern universally admired.
Goodridge's Fish Pole business now
bids fair to rival in extent and impor-
lance either other manufacturing interest
in town. Y.

SOUTH LoNDoNDERY.-The baby show
of the 23d ult passed off very pleasant

and manager, may well be congratulated
on its success. There were % babies
present, there being representatives
from Weston, Gassetts Station, Andover,
Landgrove, Jacksonville and London
derry. The judges declared that it was
a very difficult matter to decide who of
all the beautiful babies present had won
the prizes, but finally made the following
awards: Martin o. Hill, months,
prettiest boy, So; second prize of So to
Edgar S, Randall, II months. To Cora
Richardson, 10 months, prettiest girl,

South WooDsTocK, The ladies Of
South Woodstock, in connection with
their festival last week, published a
paper entitled The Antediluvian in
which they prove themselves rather
more than up 10 the full average of lit
erary ability. Having been called can
tediluvians at the F." Green " in refer
ence to the Woodstock railroad, they al
once assume the name, aud prove them
selves decidedly modern as defendants
and master Of the situation. 1t is spicy
and does not lack for sharp hits. Here
is one; "a Curiosity. A box made
from the Board of Directors in which to
encase the remains of the Woodstock
railroad" The " Salutatory" is good
take off on the great bragg which so af-
ficts some modern newspapers, while
the more grave articles are of excellent
sentiment. On the whole brother Per-
kins finds among his antediluvian friends
a pretty lively resurrection.

SUICIDE OF JOSEPH MILLER. Joseph
Miller, we'll known as a printer in this
place some seventeen years ago, and as
the proprietor of job printing Office at
Springfield, Mass, for the past fifteen
years, shot himself at the A Ills House,
in that place, on Tuesday morning last,
at about 81 o'clock
The Springfield Republican of Tues
day says: He had been threatening to
take his life for several days, but no one
thought he would do SO, and his appear
ance, as he sat in the hotel Office, reading
letter, early yesterday morning, indi-
Gated nothing unusual. A chambermaid
visited his room about s o'clock, and,
passing it half an hour later, saw Mr..
Miller lying on the floor. One hand
held five-barreled revolver, and he was
lying quite dead in pool of blood. The
city marshal was notified and Coroner
Trask, who, visiting the scene, found an
envelope on the table by which the dead
man last sat, directed to the coroner,
and containing his wife's address, and
the single sentence, l am disappointed
aud broken-hearted.' A postscript add
ed, Don't bury me until you are certain
| am dead The fact of suicide was so
evident that Coroner Trask deemed no
inquest necessary, and Mr.. Washburn,
the undertaken, was summoned to take
charge Of the remains. He found that
Mr.. Miller shot himself in the mouth,
and the wound produced almost instant
death. Mr.. Miller had been considered
partially insane for years, and was re-
leased from the insane asylum at North
ampton about a year ago. He was a
habitual drinker, and his habits had
made trouble between himself and wife.
She was at Greenfield yesterday, but
came to this city last evening, in response
to telegram from the city marshal.
She says that Mr.. Miller had often
threatened his own life aud hers, and
that he was always afraid of being buried
alive, which accounts for the postscript
10 his iual message. He hid attempted
suicide once or twice previously in insane
excitement, and probably took his life
hardly knowing what he did"
