Oaks TO accompany him to Bennington,
which he did. On arriving at the Office of
A. b. Gardner lie was locked up in a room
adjoining the office. from which he soon
escaped by jumping from a window.
Wright jumped into his sleigh and follow
ed him to the village, when he was arrest
ed again and given in charge of policeman
Sears, who soon had him in durance vile,
where he will have ample time to mediate
upon the uncertainties of the things of this
world.
Frank Day is one of that class of men
who enjoys good smoke. Through that
little failing Frank is out a good overcoat
He is employed by Pratt IL Son in the man
ufacturc of splints, and on arriving at the
shop last Saturday morning he put his pipe
in his overcoat pocket and never thought
to remove the fire from the bowl he hung
the coat up in the furnishing room. Some
time after one of the workmen going into
the room discovered the wall was on fire,
while Franks ovcrcoat was fast going.
The fire was extinguished, however, and
now nothing is left Of that coat bat few
ashes, it having been thoroughly cremated.
Probably Frank will be more careful in the
future about putting pipes into his pocket.

the center of the dining room, which was
quite well filled with people. The worthy
+, Doctor and wife were at loss To account
for such doings, but their surprise was
quickly dispelled when Mr.. II. 5. Child,
stepping forward, spoke as follows:
MRS. Hawley-Your friends (the aggre-
gate number of whom equal your acquant-
ances) those most familiar with your exalt-
ed character and worth, unselfishly and
cheerfully bring and offer to you this trl-
butte of their esteem and regard. 1t is an
offering of material and practical value to
one who will fully appreciate and properly
use it. A machine to SOW the tares of out
ward apparel is now used to SOW the golden
seed of friendship in the hearts of recipient
joy and sadness-joy that God has blessed
this method of exhibiting friendshp-sor-
row that the receiver-whose virtues de-
serve richer rewards than mortals can be-
stow-must soon separate from those who
offer this token. May your remaining years
he crowded with blessings, and your future
life crowned with immortal honors, is the
earnest prayer of the donors"
The machine is of the Victor make and
was procured through the agency of +. L.
Blake, at a cost of S65. In the drawer
attached to the machine was found quite a
sum of money tor the doctor Such pre-
sensations speak louder than words of tho
respect and affection entertained by the
people of the Methodist society for theil
pastor and wife, and the regret at so soor
losing them is participated in by the entire
village. u. G. d.
