MORRILL,. Last Friday, while F. \. Grey was
unloading logs on Merriams pond, his horses took
fright and ran away, colliding with the team of VIM
Nash, of Montve, passing over and injuring Mr.
Nash seriously. The team next came in contact
with Porter Nash, reducing his jumper to kindin5
wood and driving piece of it into the breast OF
one of the runaway horses-a fine Percheron sta
lion. The animal short distance farther and
fell down dead. There is quite active work in the
| numbering business this winter, by Merriam Rob
| inson, Daggett Slower, and others. The prospect
is that both mills will be well supplied. The local
| organizations are actively at work, both grange
and lodge taking in members at every meeting

since Jan 1st THE annual settlement of the CO.
| operative Store was very satisfactory Village
school closed last Friday. Mrs. VIM. Sanborh
died very suddenly last week, and buried
thursday. Mrs Morse preached on the occa-
| sion to a full house. One of our young men
we'd ybpra how hoI,p ~,
be active to keep warm. He arose of these late
moonlight nights, harnessed his team, went intp
| the woods and got load, and while unloading
heard neighbours clock strike VIII concluded
he had better seek his couch again.
