the highway from the depot to the
bridge as execrable. Why don't the
public spirited (9) people on the east
side of the river who attend church on
the west side, build a sidewalk on the
west side of the highway from the bridge
to the church, so as to make it possible
to pass without wading in mud knee

Mrs. Chester Giffin had occasion to
arise from her bed in the dark last
Thursday night and go to the pantry.
She mistook the door and opened the
cellar door instead, and was precipitated
head first to the cellar bottom. She
received severe bruises upon her right
arm and shoulder, and otherwise, which
will doubtless lay her up some time.
The Lompoc California; Record gives
an account of the fearful struggle of
Samuel M. Bailey with an Infatuated
Attorney bull, March 9Th, and his death
after ten days of terrible suffering.
Being attacked by the animal he at
tempted to defend himself with pitch
fork which the bull knocked out of his
hands with his horns, and threw him
upon the ground, thrusting, goring, and
butting. There was but one other per-
son on the rancho, deaf man making
fence at distance. A little dog called
his attention to the fearful struggle,
and in his attempt to drive off the
beast, he was attack ed and saved himself
by jumping down precipice, but final
ly succeeded in getting the animal away
by driving in the cows. The battle
lasted an hour. Mr.. Bailey was son of
Enoch Bailey, and was raised on the
farm now owned by Cyrus Underwood,
in Hardwick, until he was 15years old,
then went with his father to Wisconsin,
thence to California. This adds an
other warning to farmers owning such
animals. Don't trust them-the strength
of man in comparison with them is no
more than that of mouse to cat.
The writer of this item has had one
such fight and does not desire another.

Fred. Meeker was arrested last week
for breaking into the depot and stealing
some ten or fifteen dollars. Although
the evidence against him was wholly
circumstantial, he was bound up for
trial at the county court. The testimO-
ny showed that the day before the theft
he had been quite short of money,
while after his arrest some seven dOla rs
were found on his person. On his ex-
animation his counsel claimed that he
won this money at gambling with sew
eral young men at the hotel ia Morris
vile. The case excites good deal of
interest Meeker is an orphan raised
by Gov. Hendee. He is bright and ca
pable. 1t was intended to send him
through college, but he got "heady"
last year and announced his dstermina-
ton to take care of himself. He pro-
cured the place of brakeman on the P.
& o., which position he occupied when
arrested in this place last fall for dis
turbing the Moorehouse meetings. In
this matter, however, he had consider
able sympathy, as it did not appear to
be mischief which actuated him, but
thOughtlessness and an unrestrained
temper. Now he is in fair way to go
to prison; but the lesson is lost Oh the

strained, just where they will end if

The Society Of Decorative Art.

Circulars have been issued BY the Boston So
eety of Decorative Art calling attention to the
iact that such society really exists and setting
forth its purposes and the means by which it
proposes to accomplish them. The following,
quoted from the circular, gives the purpose Of
the society in brief:-
"The Boston Society OF Decorative Art has been
formed, in connection WITH the New York Society,
for the purpose Of raising the standard Of design in
band-wrought work and in manufacture; and OF
guiding all those who use the needle. the brush or
the modelling tool for decorative ends to an appreci-
alton of pure form and noble desigu so that the OBJ
iects produced decorated by these agencies NV be
beautiful the eye and satisfactory to the cultivated
taste."
IL is inGended to be self supporting, but mon
ey is of course needed at the start, and it is
hoped that $4,000 will be raised by subscription
and by entrance fees. The Home will be-
opened for the exhibition and sale of articles
that have been accepted, in order to assist
those who need and deserve encouragement.
Some of the regulations of the New York soeie-
ty have been adopted, and everything seems to
indicate that the society can go ahead prosper
ously as soon as fair start has been made.
All contributions and fees for membership-6ve
dollars-may be addressed to the treasurer.

street and Commonwealth avenue.
