Reading.

The citizens of the town of Reading,
have made arrangements for the publica-
ton of volume of $50 pages or more,
t, embrace full history of the town
with biographical sketches and engrav-
ings of the early settlers and of sons of
the town who have attained prominence,
and full report of the speeches and
poems delivered at the Centennial cele-
bratioD. The book will be handsomely
bound, and will be sold at the low price
of one dollar per copy, and be ready for
delivery within one year. Such a book
cannot fail to prove interesting to every
son and daughter of Reading, as well as
to the larger number of people, who
from time TO time have had home with
in its limits. The design is to give eve
ry family identified with the towns his
tory, as full history as the materials
placed in the hands of the compiler,
will enable him to prepare, Very much
information that should have place,
can not be obtained unless one or more
members of the family, will interest him.
self in gathering the facts. Such en-
cravings will be inserted as the friends
are at the expense of procuring and fur
nishing. We give this timely notice
that no one may deem himself overlooked
or disregarded in the compilation. His
tory and biography being founded on
facts, the compiler will find his magma
ton scant source from which to draw
the materials. We hope our early
friends in Reading who are scattered all
over the Union will interest themselves
in this volume and furnish such facts as
will give every family in Reading its ap-
propriate place and history. The issue
will necessarily be limited in numbers,
and we earnestly urge every person who
wishes one or more copies, to send his ad-
dress to G. A. Davis, Felchville, Vt
The cost will not exceed one dollar per
volume, and the book itself will grow
more and more valuable and interesting
as the years roll on. Those who attended
the Centennial celebration last summer,
will long remember with pleasure, the
exercises of that occasion, and doubtless
be glad of this opportunity to have in a
convenient and lasting form, an accurate
and full report.
pa Remember and order the number Of
copies yOu aOish ,cithout delay, and those
who have already subscribed for one copy,
had better double or treble the subscrip-
ton, in order to insure the success of
the publication.

CHESTERFIELD N. H.-A serious ac-
cident recently befell Jay A. Smith of
West Chesterfield. While telling a tree
in company with his father, the axe of
the latter struck his foot in such a way
as to nearly sever it, involving the loss
of all the toes but the large one, and pos
sibly that also. A permanent lameness
must, of course, be the result.
