John Perry, a Freuchman living in
Milo Smalis tenement house, on his farm
ON the Randolph road, after digging Mrs.
small's grave, last Sunday. went into his
house, picked up his clothes. and what

deavored to dissuade him from doing so.
and tried TO tind ont whore ha was going,
but failed, and hc has LEFT for parts un-

We're badly mangled, rendering amputa-
ton necessary. Drs. HolbrOok and Ran
dali were in attendance, and after admin

the occurrence was no worse.
columbus" Mcdonald, who is well
known by Hyde Parkers, has come to
grihf once more. lie stopped while at
{. Reeds hotel, in Westleld, and week
ago last Sunday morning Mr.. Reed was
up early and saw "Columbusn throw his

ing few dollars, he began searching for
the fellow, and on Thursday the West

e. c. Dunlap has been for some time.
and still is, canvassing this county for
one Of the best agricultural papers pub
Iished, namely, the American Cultivator.
There are many reasons why our farm
ers should take New England agricul-
tural paper. The farmers papers pub
lishcd in New York circulate largely in
the Central, Southern and Western states,
and must therefore adapt their teachings
to great variety of soil and climate,
while our New England papers devote
themselves almost exclusively to such
experiences and truths as are applicable
to hard soil and severe climate, with
which our Vermont farmers have to CRAP
pie. Moreover, the Boston market is of
far more importance to greater part of
the state than the New York markets.
The rapidity with which ca 'thly scenes
change and old and familiar landmarks
disappear is illustrated in the following
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan. V. Whittier. of Low
eli, Mass, have spent few days in town,
visiting their relatives. (rhe name Whit
tier is now obsolete in Hyde Park.) They
are the first of the family who have Wis
tied here for forty years. Over forty
years ago Daniel Whittier. ST., tnen a
resident of Lowell, Mass. anne to this
town to visit his brother Simon. Alter a
few weeks stay his health improved so
much that he concluded to move his fam
lily to Vermont, believing it to be a good
place to reside. He moved to the toy WI
of Eden and remained there while, and
then went back to Lowell, and none OF
| the family have been to Eden since, until
this season Dan. V. came to Hyde Park,
and thought he would visit 1.-The old home
of his childhood" In passing with a
friend through the town Of Eden, up the
Branch road, he could see no traces of
anything that he could recollect as hay
ing been there in his childhood. In fact
he did not believe that he was ever in
that locality before. Meeting an elderly
gentleman, he was informed where once
stood the old fulling mill and potash, and
directed to the site of his old home.
The way led across meadow, away
from the road. lie found the old cellar,
the familiar spring, portion of the old
loo dam. under which he used to fish,
and traced out the old road he Travelled
on his way to school, and last, though
not least, the grave Of his pet dog What
a crowd of thought the ASSOCIATIONS
brought trooping through his memory
can be imagined only by such as have re-
turned to the familiar scenes Of childhood
after an absence of twO-score years.
