SINGULAR and Fatal Accident.

On Dec. 26, Mr.. VIM. L. Baldwin, a
prominent citizen of North Stratford,
WAS killed in the following singular
manner. He had driven pair of
horses up to Colebrook, and as he was
leaving the village, he stood up in his
sleigh to put on fur coat. The sleigh
was not rightly balanced, and while the
coat was part way on, the sleigh jack
knitted together, throwing Mr.. Baldwin
in his then helpless condition, upon the
heels of his horses. Parties near by
came to his rescue, and he was taken
into the hotel where he lived in an un-
conscious state some 26 hours. A frac-
ture of the skull above one eye, indi-
Gated that he was kicked. Mr.. Bald
win was some 60 years old, and leaves a
wife and three children. He was a rela-
tive of Rev. Mr.. Alger of Passumpsic.

Effect of Advertising on Trade.

1t has become necessity with most people who
trade to get their moneys worth. Every cent
counts, and "a penny saved is a penny earned
Business men find this out when it comes to deal
ing with them and thus they find it necessary to
offer every inducement to secure a fair share of
trade. People at large, too have to look in
the papers to find where they get what they
want, and get it cheapest. 1t is owing to this
more than anything else that the men who adver-
tse find it pays, and that their business is much
heavier than that of non-advertising competitors,
who may carry much and as good stock but
who take no pains to inform the people of it
The cheapest place to advertise is in local pa
per which goes into the families which the adver-
tiser wishes to reach, FOur-ffths of the money
put into simply advertising sheets, which are
thrown into shops one hour, to be used as waste
paper the next, is money thrown away

Personal Items.

Mr.. Charles A. Savage, who has been
visiting friends in this place, addressed
a union meeting at the South church
Sunday evening, on the work of the
missionaries in Turkey, as seen by an
outsider. He gave somewhat differ
ent view from that usually heard from
missionaries themselves, giving very
clear insight into the business and civil
izing effect of missionaries in that
country, their value as educators, and
as humanitarians during the raging of
the cholera, famine, and the Russian
war. The address was deeply interest
ing, and none of the large audience
present could have gone away with
out a greater love for missions, and
more interest in and respect for mis-
sionaries.

Accident to a Church.

About three feet of the chimney of
the Baptist church on Railroad street
clicked out" Sunday morning before
church service, and came crashing down
through the ceiling into the front hall.
1t seems the chimney was built on an
angle in the second story, and was not
properly braced, hence this accident,
which if any one had been in the hall
at the time, might have been very
serious. AS it was, the debris was
cleared away, the top of the chimney
which was left standing, was shored
up, and services were held in the fore
noon, but omitted the remainder of the
day.

Hardwick.


GOLDEN WEDDTNG.-The golden we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. Dorman Bridg-
man, ST., of Hardwick, which occurred
January LIST, was fine affair." In the
afternoon about eighty of their old
friends and neighbors gathered to en-
joy their generous provisions and con-
graduate the husband and wife that
they have lived so long and so happily,
and that kind Providence has crowned
their years with so much of earthly
good. In the evening some two hun
dred of the citizens of Hardwick met to
enjoy the happy greetings of this event
full day. They all left tokens of re-
membrance. Among them was a very
fine gold headed cane, sent from the
west; some silver dishes of modern
style, rich in beauty and usefulness
pins of gold, with lace and other arti-
cles. During the afternoon Mr.. Bridg-
man gave some early history of the
town to interest his guests. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bridgman have seven children,
eight grandchildren and two great
grand children.

Fire Alarm.

About nine O'Clock last Friday morn
ing, there was an alarm of fire sounded.
caused by some smoke issuing from
McLeOd's Touring mill. 1t seems that
one of the gates of the mill was frozen.
and in the morning one of the hands
went into the basement and took some
stIaw saturated with kerosene, and
thawed it out--afterwards putting out
all the fire as he supposed. A little
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1879-01-10

while after, he discovered smoke issu-
ing from that quarter. and going down
into the basement he found quite lit
tie fire going. He thought he would
be unable to control it, and jumping
into the delivery sleigh which stood at
the door, he drove up to the house of
the Island Hose Co., at the end Of the
bridge, and drew hose down to the
hydrant by Buzzell's Office, and soon
had the fire put out. Meanwhile gen.
eral alarm had been given, and all the
hose companies, and the people gen
orally, turned out. The damage by
fire was slight, and although the mill
was filled with smoke, we do not learn
as it caused any damage at any rate
there is no claim of insurance COM
panies. 1t was narrow escape how
ever, from a bad fire, and it would seem
that the excellent appliances for ex-
tinguishing fire were what prevented
much loss. Besides the mill, which is
good one, there are eight or ten
thousand bushels of corn stored in the
building. The next time the gate
freezes, they will heat water in tea
kettle.
On Wednesday morning of this week,
the freight Office of the Passumpsic road
in this place, caught fire overhead from
an overheated stove pipe, but the en-
ployes tore off the boarding and sue
ceeded in putting out the fire without
giving an alarm. The fire caught so
far from the pipe, that some think rats
had laid train of combustibles to the
pipe fol- the express purpose of calling
out the fire department.

Silver Wedding.

There was large and happy gather
ing at the residence of Capt. Robert w.
Laird on Railroad street, new years
evening, the occasion being the twenty
fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. Laird. Over one hundred
relatives and friends took supper with
them, and the evening was spent in Il
right down social time. Many valuable
gifts were made the parties. The en-
ployes of the Granite Company pre-
sented a nice silver service of eleven
pieces, the butter dish being appropri-
ately engraved. Besides this, friends
from this and other towns presented a
silver set of six pieces. The occasion
was one greatly enjoyed, and long to
be remembered by all parties present.

Concord.

Concord town bonds and what is to
be the end of them! Nine suits now
against the town. That is as bad lis
the same number of fires. But the
majority are as firm as ever. The grand
list is growing smaller, and it looks as
though the personal property would
shrink to almost nothing, as many are
taking stock from other towns to keep
for pay, and all the moneyed men that
can go are leaving. 1t looks as though
the bondholders would be lucky if they
ever get 80 cents on the dollar.
