III. ii. Dutt0n, our postmaster ano
town clerk, was somewhat startled, this
morning, by some one calling him up
and telling him his office was broken
open. The town safe was blown open,
one door was thrown some fifteen feet.
The report was heard by several of the
neighbors. One man got up and lighted
a lamp, and went out, and saw a man
going across the road, but the robbery
was not known until morning. There
were some three hundred dollars in cash
and stamps, but no goods taken.
Our town, last March meeting,
elected three road commissioners to take
charge of the roads Instead of some
twenty highway surveyors, and thus far
it has given good satisfaction, and it is
not costing two-thirds as much as the
old way.
There is large amount of paint be-
ing used this fall, and several new build
ings being put up, and others being re-
paired. In fact | know of nothing that
is not prospecting in this town except
Dr. Hazelton's najakery. cannot tell
them the fault is in the man that las at
tended them or in the mother, but they
have not done well, as there was four in
the spring and only three now.

Mr.. Frank Reynolds, while hunting
on the ''West Hill" this afternoon. saw
what he thought to be "wild cat. AS
Frank is celebrated as a ''shootist" we
hope soon to be able to record the death
of the "animile."
The centennial "epizoOtic" which
has pervaded our town for the past few
weeks, has disappeared, and peace and
quiet reigns supreme.

circles that unpopular dressmaker, Mrs.

This news, if true, will be hailed with

is probably not village in the State
where water is so accessible and at sc

without any material effect, and we
earnestly hope some of our stirring men
will take this matter in hand and SCI
that it is accomplished.
