Oats are rusting in many fields, but rs yet the
rust IS mostly confined to the leaf. What effect
1t will have upon the crop cannot well be deter
mined yet, but in any event II must be detrimen-
tai, as 1t indicates an unhealthy condition. Per-

Some more than fifty Of the village people held
picnic last week Wednesday In n H. Perkins
sugar place, near J. A. Stanleys house, In Wash
lngton., John Thompson OF New York is visiting
his family here. The ladies OF the Methodist
society held raspberry and ice-cream festival on
Friday evening on the lawn In front OF l.. b. Dut-
tons house. The attendance was large and II
was decided to repeat the ice-cream part Of the
programme Saturday evening. The band fur
nished music on the latter occasion. Foster
Grow has received a second paralytic shock and
IL very feeble. His brother-n-law, Dea. Charles
Wyman OF st Adams, is now here. Edward
Dickinson IL home from Lowell on a short visit
80. DR.. and Mrs. NJ II. Corwin have been visiting
at Marblehead and other places in Massachusetts,
Tor week or more... DR.. A. b. Smith was the
victim Of n serious and nearly fatal mistake last
Wednesday. He had put up some medicine for
Almon l. Dexter, who did not like the taste OF 1t
and brought II back TO the doctor. The latter said
II was all right, and to prove II took large swa-
low. lie soon found II was not all right and that
beladopa had been used in mixing II instead OF
some other preparation. The doctor was for some
time In very critical condition from the effect OF
the poison, but 1t finally counteracted by the
remedies promptly taken. The excitement
which existed here q few years ago in regard TO
the pumbago mine then discovered on the east
hill has been partially revived OF late by the pro-
posal OF parties from abroad to buy the mine,
The preliminary arrangements were made with
c. NJ Hall, the present owner Of the farm on
which the mine IL located, when 10 was discovered
that w. s. Russell, who owned the farm when
the mining fever first broke out, had reserved all
mining rights when he sold It. The property
has changed hands several times since, and 1t is
found that Mr.. Hall received warrantee deed
from the person of whom he bought, making no
mention OF Mr.. Russelps reserved rights. Sew
eral legal questions thus involved in the case,
and 1t Is probable that nothing more will be done
about the mine at present. f. X. Hyde has re-
turned from his western trip. ed. b. Atwood

BRADFORD The weather here is probably
much the same as In other sections Of the Connec-

bountiful shower continuing about thirty minutes
benefited us greatly Saturday afternoon. Pecu-

the citizens Of Bradford village The clouds were

as OF fire and smoke in the heavens. Some af-
firm that cinders fell in their door yards and it
was evident TO every person with sensitive optics

phere was charged with the gaseous products OF
combustion. Without question, something was
