The subject of fencing the Reed burying
| ground is being again agitatcd. We hope
| it will be successful this time, and not end
in talk 1t is shame to see so little interest
manifested in such matters. This yard has
had no fence of any account for several
years, and already some of the headstones
| the yard, and others are liable to be broken.
If individuals who have an interest there
will not do anything about it, the town
should take the matter in hand.
Dandy has fine scenery and drives,
making il a desirable summer resort.

from our village, cleansed couple of milk
cans and set them against the house outside
to dry, soon after the family left for church
while absent the suns rays were so power
fully reflected from the cans as to set fire
to the house, but for the wckedncss of a
boy who was fishing near by, and discov-
cred the fire, the building would undoubt-
cdly have been destroyed. To make GER
tain that the fire had its origin from such
a source, the experiment was tried the fol-
lowing day with like result,
A despatch was received here last Mon
day announcing the death of Prescott
Head, Esq, which occurred Sunday at
year ago last March. Mr. Head remov-

| Rod, deacon of the Congregational Church.

izen; model of business integrity and uni
versally beloved and respected.
