- The prizes offered now DAYS at
spelling schools, don't compare much
with those we had more than thirty years
ago, when after the "spell was oyer,
we had the pleasure of going home with
the girls,
1t has been fine weather this week.
The sugar makers must have been smil-
ing, and all older people we are sure could
but have greatly enjoyed the lively hap
piness of the children, as they skipped
about so gaily in the morning sun upon
the snow crust.
Mr.. L. A. Turner has issued a circu-
lar, thai on and after April LIST, 1875, all
goods at his store will be for cash or
ready pay. Other dealars in our village,
we hear contemplate adopting the same
plan. BY this means they hope TO sell their
goods cheaper and close their business
year without so many bad debts. and the
system is certainly quite as good for the
purchaser as the dealer.
The death Of Mrs. s. G. Phipps of
Chartestown, Mass, which we record to
day, was received here on Monday by
Telegram. Mrs Phipps suffered an at
tack of paralysis two years ago, from
which she had partially recovered and
had been comparatively comfortable for
a long time. On Sunday morning she
was again attacked with the same disease
and died on Monday at II, a NJ. The
suddenness of her death has proved al
most overpowering to her aged parents,
who will receive the deep sympathy of
our community The many friends and
acquaintance of Mrs. Phipps here in
her early home, will remember the many
virtues of her character which made her
beloved by all, and by which her home
life was adorned, and feel that the light
thus gone out leaves darkness only
brightened by the memory of her good
ness. Beside her parents and sister here
she leaves husband and two daughters
in their home in Charlestown.
