Br00ksvllle was once called Bee
mans Hollow. The memorable flood in
1880, on the night of the 25th of July,
carried it mostly away and about nineteen
persons were drowned. Among the lost
was the family of John Wilson, who were
all swept away by the torrent, except the
Oldest daughter, who was away from home,
and the Oldest son, who escaped by SWIM
ming. The daughter, now Mrs. Spencer,
of Rock Island, Ill, has recently caused
fine monumenttos be erected over their
graves, after a lapse of nearly forty-fve
years. s-
Mrs. Hagar. of weybridge, has a copy
of "The Peoples Press" L. p. Wheeler
publisher, and L. Markham editor. 1t is
number 4S, volume and was published at
Middlebury on the 9th day of April, 1889.
1t was a five column paper, we'll gotten up,
and evidently worth the 50 per year de.
manded for it. Its motto, "Principles
preferable to spoils," would be fitting one
for later growths Of journalism.
A. p. Topper, Esq, of Middlebury has
vertable deed conveying an absolute title
to land situated in Mortified, Mass, dated
the 39,h day of March, 1913, sin the six
teenth year of Reign of our Sovereign Lord
George Second, by the Grace of God
King, ETC." The record shows that it was
acknowledged two years later. This doc
ument is a little time.worn and musty with
age, but its efficacy for the conveyance is
undiminished. The instrument is only one
hundred and thirty-two years old, but it
antedates the birth of our country by a
third Of century.

were somewhat frightened on Wednesday,
the 2S.h of April, by an insane man. He
was supposed to be an Italian, and was in
quiring for work. He called at the house
of John White early in the morning, and
remained there until after dinner, then he
started north on the road leading to Rpton,
carrying his coat on his arm, as it was a
very warm afternoon. When he was near
the house of John Lonergan, he put his
coat on the fence; little farther north he
left his boots and socks by the side of the
road, and short distance north of Charles
Browns he left his shirt on the fence,
having nothing on except his hat and pan
falcons. All who saw him along the road,
noticed that he walked very fast. Some
spoke to him, but he made no reply others
spoke to him, but he did not stop, but said
something which they did not understand.
He appeared very well at Mr.. Whites, and
a man walked a short distance along the
road with HIM as he started off, and did
not notice that he was insane. He was
last seen in this town as he passed the house
of Mr. Churchill, about five o'clock IN the
afternoon.
