Saturday afterno on with Il load OF wheat,
drawn by an OK team, WAS delayed getting
started for home, was overtoken by the
storm and persisted His absence did not
alarm his wife, as she supposed he had
stopped in town. or had got caught in the
storm and put up at some house along the
route. On Sunday evening, however, the
oxen came home with nothing but the
tongue of the wagon attached to the yoke,

ing to feel anxious, and rs the storm had
abated. party went in search, finding the
wagon on a snow drift, and about half
mile further on found Carey's body on the

three children.
BIRTHS AND DEATIs.-As many people
are not aware of the fact that neglect to
notify the town clerks or village recorders
of the births and deaths in their families
and homes, renders them liable to heavy
fine, and as the clerk of the courts annual
returns, must be forwarded to the com
missioner of statistics on or before the
Goth of next month, we have been request
ed by Mr. Baldwin TO call attention to this
matter and notify parents and others to
Section So, chapter6 of the general statutes
which relates to this sub ect says: Par

MORE ABOUT FUEL-As there has been
such an understandable delay in the for
warding of coal on the lines of railroad,
and as it appeared very probable that some
of the delays occurred on this road, deal
ers made complaint to Agent Fisher,
claiming that cars of coal were let lay
either in the yards at st. Paul or along the
line, and threatened, if the cars were not
promptly forwarded, to go to the compa-
ny's shed and help themselves to the coal.
Mr.. Fisher referred the matter to Mr. HILL
informing him of the situation, and asking
for instructions in regard to selling the
coal. The following telegram will explain
matters, and show that the fault lies on
other roads:
ST PAUL, Dec &c. j. FISHER: The
message to Mr.. Hill is received. He is at
Chicago. Tell Mr.. Good and other dealers
that the trouble has not been with us. We
are ready at any time to furnish cars for
the transportation of coal from here, and
will give it preference over other freight,
when needed The dealers are misn-
formed, however, as to the coal being here.
There are several cars of coal destined to
Morris between Duluth and St. Paul. This
is beyond our control; but as soon as it
arrives here we will forward without any
delay. [ have seen the fuel company this
morning. They promise to deliver US a
car of coal to day, and also try to hurry the
Duluth road in forwarding cars already
started from Duluth. In the mean time
Mr.. Wakeman has instructed you to fur,
nish some soft coal from our house to
alleviate your suffering. Please explain the
situation 10 the people, and assure them ii
is not 0aT ffsrtlit. -, ~-~-- ----.~~.
BOARD OF TRADE.-A very interesting
meeting Of the board of trade was held last
Monday evening, and considerable bust
ness was transacted Among the many
important measures before the board was
proposition from Mr.. Henry Hutchins
which is certainly public spirited offer
and one of great interest to the residents Of
the village. The gentleman above nance
proposes to present to the village, through
the board of trade, the old schoolhoust
recently moved on his lot on sixth street
near the church, provided that sum equa
to tie value of the premises, say $500, il

niShing it as a public reading room anC
library. Further than this, Mr. Hutchin.
; offers to gire lease of the lot on which
) the building stands, for such time as thu
: room shall be used for the purposes above
mentioned, STIMULATING only, that in cast
of failure to comply with the above
terms, the property shall revert to him
This very generous offer is certainly
worthy of commentator, and will, W,
hope, receive careful consideration
Owing to the many rumors that ar
: afloat in this vicinity concerning the condi
f ton of the Connemara settlers, on motion
t the chair appointed a special committee t
, visit the locality, examine into the condi

meeting to be held on tomorrow evening
| This action of the board will be the mean
of telling the truth or falsity of the man,

Z the matter prominently before the public
t We may here state that the rumors of til
freezing of the woman and child wer
