- The Boston stereopticon was re-
ceived with much favor, but on the two
first nights the attendance was small.
On the third, Wednesday evening, a
large audience came out, and with the
local views exhibited furnished much
amusement and instruction. The stere-
opticon is in fact very mertorious lee
ture and exhibition, and so proved itself
in this place.

8 years, was caught between some NOV.
ing freight cars at the depot, Wednesday
and received large and severe scalp
wound. DR.. Whitman was called and
replaced his scalp and he is now doing
well. 1t was very narrow escape from
death. The boy fell on the track and
his brave little sister of but four years
saw the situation and ran and tried tC
pull him off, but MAS not strong enough
for the task, and fortunately the cal
stopped at within few inches of his
body.

Grafton.
GRAFToN. Within the past few weeks
several very severe accidents have oc-
CURED to Grafton people Willard A.
Dean recently lost one arm in tbresh
ing machine. Mr.. A. d. Thomas at
Houghtonville, recently fell in his saw
and grist mill, striking timber on bis
side, and ipjuring him so severely that
at first it was feared he might not recov-
err, but be is now better. The other Sc
we're case is that of Charles Mather re-
ported last week, who is also improving
and will recover.
Indications of thrift and prosperity
appear in every part of the village.
Dea. Chapman has completed his dwell
ing house on the corner OF New and
South streets. DIR. Boyden has rented
and now occupies the same.
Hon. Charles Barrett has erected
building for studio on the site of his
old Office, placing that in rear of and
attached to the new building. This
move gives general satisfaction as indi-
eating Mr.. Barrett's purpose to remain
in Grafton.
Mrs. Ann NJ. Howard has added to
her house a tasty piazza, blinds and a
thorough at Of paint. 1t is now one
of the prettiest cottages in town. The
appearance of four other dwellings on
the same street have been greatly i'm
proved by new coat Of paint.
The northwest Fur Co., are again in
the field, and have captured foxes
within the last few days. Young White,
on Thursday, placed himself in a run
way on the north end of Mt. Taurus as
he heard the hounds approaching from
the south fine fox soon came within
speaking distance, be took deliberate aim
and discharged his piece. He says when
be came to he had firm hold of piece
of the stock, the lock be has been IN
able to find. The barrel was some rods
from him badly rent. After few mo-
ments calm reflection he looked for his
fox and found him mortally wounded.
Mr.. George Fisher has raised on Wild
ow Davis farm, from three kernels of
corn, seven corn stocks, upon three of
which, measuring 81 feet each, we're sew
en- perfect ears of corn. Fisher affirms
that it is the anti-graDge variety.
A strong force Is now employed upon
the grange store, formerly referred to,
being built by Mr.. F. A. Woolley. Only
this fact is known with reference to its
being a grange store. 1t is being built
by full blood granger who has stored
and distributed all goods purchased by
the Grafton Grange, consisting solely of
onions and -four. The onion market was
seriously affected by the operation they
