The death Of Mrs. Silsbv Viii,
ney occurred on Wednesday NIGHT
The funeral was attended ON Fridav
ut =. II. at the house. Mr.. Whitney
having died but short time ago, two
little children are left orphans, but
will be kindly cared for by friends.
The old building in early town
history used as n store, but lately
known as the Cobb shop, has been
removed. While it improves the looks
of the place, it is sad that the mChu-
ments of early days cannot longer
stand But time, with ruthless hand,
RACES all things to the ground.
Tho friends of DR.. Albert Bar
rows, whose physic the people OF
Stowe well remember and speak Of in
his praise, are made happy by his
genial presence and rehearsal of his
familiar anecdotes. The Doctor has
been to the Pacific coast, endeavoring
to Ciyilize them and regain his healtk.
His athletic step and inyigorated form
advise us that his tour has not been
unayailing.
Abel Smith met with a sad mis-
fortune ct Smiths Falls, on Wednes-
day lasti while narrowing in Il field
about thirty rods from his house. In
endeavOring to raze small knole, he
stepped on the barrow to increase its
effect, and his foot slipping, was
caught between the harrow and a
stone in such a way as to break both
bones of his leg. Being alone, he
tried to summons some one by hollow
ing, but failing, he mounted the har-
row and rode to the house, his broken
leg III Tie meantime dangling upon
the ground. Arriving 70 tie house,
he hdbbled in as best he might, and
with the aid of his wife set his leg in
regular surgical order and had it well
dressed before assistance could arrive.
This was an exhibition of true courage
and stoical indifference to pain.

An exchange claims to have found
remedy for the potato bug scourge.
The plan is simply to plant one or two
flax seeds in each hill of potatoes. 1t
is said that the bugs will shun it every
time, and for ten years one has thus
been successful in raising potatoes
while others have failed. The remedy
is simple and costs nothing.

tcports larger trade than any time

one of the good old times Of go,
The new safe has been placed in
position at the Bank and is a splendid
piece Of mechanical skill and design.
The old one which it replaces would
be just the thing for the Town Clerks
office. 1t is fre-proof, but it is not
certain whether it would be proof
against a burglarious attack. This
last would be hardly an objection, as
there is little danger Of any ones try
ing to rob the safe SO long as records
ofmortgage constituted nearly its en-
tire contents, AS it can be bought
for very reasonable sum and would
serve the purposes so well, we think
the town will be wise to secure it.
