year to come. 1t is as good as was
ever ground in this place.
That Frenchman, who fooled with
the saw the other day, is now repenting
of his folly in rags and plasters. Ordi-
nary circular saws will stand a good
deal of "fooling" without receiving in
jury, but the other fellow will have
something to remember for years, if he
doesn't let them alone.
Mrs. Charles Pierce, living in the
north part of the town, died almost in
stantly. last Friday noon. She was sup
posed to be in her usual health until af-
ter dinner, when she experienced faint
ness and in few moments was dead.
Her funeral was attended, yesterday, by
Rev. A. Dodge. who has been called to
the house Of Mr.. Pierce three times with
in month to attend funerals. The first
was that Of Mrs. Henry Dudley of St.
JOhnsbury, daughter of the deceased
the second was that of Lillian Pierce,
her granddaughter and, yesterday,
that of Mrs. Pierce.
Ed. Drew, a fast young man from st.
Johnsbury, who has been at work at
Spalding's hotel for a month past. hired
Edmund YOung's team, a few days since,
to go to Willoughby Lake. He took one
of the village boys with him, and they
made a trip from the Lake to Beebe
Plain, via. Cabot-not very direct
route. After some days Young had a
letter from Drew, stating that the team
was all right and he would be home
with it in about week. Young went
to the Plain, found his team, got Drew's
trunk and old clothes as part payment
for the team, and also, suit of good
clothes that Drew had purchased in this
village. The other lad has returned
home, and if he feels as sheepish as he
looks he will not take another trip with
such companion very soon.
Some improvements have been made
of late about the village cemetery, among
which are the erection of monuments
and the repair and Improvement of lots
Fred Fields has done good thing OF
the lot where his father lies buried by
painting the iron fence and improving
the lawn. Other lots are sadly out o
repair. One thing ought to be done
which would make the approach to tn
graveyard by the present road more feas
ible and less dangerous that is tn
changing of the road between the Taylo
and the Badger places, by turning int
the bank on the north end of the Badge
lot and working the road round to com
out between James BuswelPs house an,
barn. The very steep hill could the
be avoided, and the inconvenience nea
the chair factory evaded.

night she was handsomely escorte
home by the Hiberman youth, while tn

the rear, wishing that his was the otht
fellows place. The parting ceremonit
on the verandah were pleasing to tt

r sorrow to the heart of the rival listenin
at the corner of the fence. A few day

to lick him. They met, and not mar
