The highway between the Corner
geance. The proper authorities had
better build over the bridge on the
same road. 1t has been unsafe for
some time and nobody has been hurt,
but that is no argument why it should
remain as it is. Peacham has always
had, as general thing, excellent roads,
and it had better keep up that reputa-
ton.
The old saying that the poorer man
is the more dogs he will keep, is not
infallible. For instance, Frank Palm
er-than whom there is no more pros
porous citizen in town, is now the hap
py owner of eleven dogs. Ten of these
are hounds of the best breed, and one,
"Rover," is a partridge dog and an old
standby. Frank is the champion hun
ter of the town and probably of the
county. He possesses the best guns
to be found and often takes a little
hunting excursion into the wild woods
of Canada. Withal he is as successful
with his business as his pleasure, and,
while yet young, has amassed for
tune which many an older and more
experienced man has sought in vain.
There have been, during the sum-
mer, rather more visitors than usual.

others come to fill their places so, on
the whole, there are probably as many
in town as at any time during the sea-
son. Last week your correspondent
noticed quite a number of new faces
among them that of Eugene McClary,
whom every one will remember as a
lively, good-natured student and
school teacher of a few years ago.
Gene has lucrative position as prin-

Last Friday Thomas Clark and fami-
ly received the sad intelligence of the
death of a daughter and sister, Mar
garet, who has been resident of Kan
sas for several years. No word had
come of her sickness and they were
totally unprepared for the terrible
shock. The deceased was the second
daughter i'll respect to age, and leaves,
to mourn her loss, in Peacham, a ia
ther, mother, two sisters and two broth
ers, besides many friends. She was
married, and the mother of three little
ones.

Overturning the carriage. Mr.. Havi-

Dartmouth College.

Although there is an effort to smooth
over and forget the troubles at Dart
mouth College, private advices indi-
cate, what all must feel if they stop to
reflect, that the difficulties have many
a heart burn, and like church trouble,
the parties most intimately connected
with the affair suffer keenly in many
ways; and it will take years to heal
the social breach made, if indeed it is
ever healed. When a man becomes
distasteful to any considerable number
of his associates or his parishiOners,
whether he be pastor, president or pro-
fessor, the best thing for all concerned
is for him to take himself out of the
way, even though he be more sinned
against than SHINING. Experience has
proved this over and over again.

The average boy, with here and
there a "bOy of a larger growth" is
possessed of deviltry enough for all
practical purposes, and lately a good
deal of this lively trait has been devOt-
ed to mutilating and destroying sign
posts and boards. n. NJ. johnson, dry
goods dealer, has just had little ex-
perience with some of these possess
ed" individuals. Three of his combi-
nation mile and advertising posts To-
Gated on Danville territory were pulled
up and located where the figures were
made to lie. Mr.. johnson looked the
matter up, traced it to certain city
bOarders, and was about to make IN
example of them, when they owned VI
and settled up. Being convinced that
they had not acted maliciOusly, but
merely with bOyish thOughtlessness,
he let them off easily. But this sort OF
thing is getting too frequent and an
noying, and something ought to be
done, if possible, to convince the per
petrators that this is a poor kind OF
fun.

The building of Il new depot at
Hardwick has come to a temporary
standstill ON account of the action of
the selectmen of that town. 1t seems
that some weeks ago the railroad COM
pany bought land for much needed
new depot, some little distance west of
the present building. They were oblig-
ed to call out n court commission to ap-
praise the land, and the selectmen
agreed that when the ground was paid
for, so that they would be comparative
ly sure of a new depot, they would lay
out a street to the same. When the
money was paid over, the selectmen
backed down and refused to lay out the
street until the building operations
were begun. This was complied with
by the company, who didn't care To be
unreasonable but after the contract
was made with the builder and the
foundation of the building nearly COM
pleted, the selectmen again refused to
open highway until the new depot
was completed. Thinking that this
sort of fOOling had gone on long enough,
the company called halt in opera
tions, to give the selectmen a chance
to promise again and stick to it. A
conference is to be held on Monday,
when the matter will doubtless be sat
isfactOrily arranged.
