urday evening, about $50 o'clock.
She was walking on the track near the

Her husband was one of the first to

youth taught school several terms. He
was emnently fitted for public business,
had held the Offices of first sclectman
and ovcrsecr for a period of several
years, and was noted for his superior
Judgment in town business affairs.
He was large farmer and success
full dealer in Merino sheep. He was a
man of strict integrity, Industrious
habits, lii eral views, a good neighbor
and man of kind and generous i'm

the candidates for State senator from
Windsor county on the democratic

horses, and a small lot of household
furniture. Nothing was saved from the

which stood across the drive way, were
saved by the extra exertion of those who
dared to battle with the fiery fend, by
throwing snow-no water to be had
Whas men ana women were there wOr ked

buildings like prairie fire. Dwight Ham

The following is the production OF
little seven year old boy of this vi
cinlty who was never in school until
last winter. The subject was chosen
by himself during the late excitement
over the number of Wild ducks on
our river:
Ducks are small fowls. that swim or
the water. The wild ducks A., but the
tame ducks do not. We Lave four very
large white ducks; they DO not come
down to the river There is a verv large
duck, down here, called Loon; when
they shoe! ut it, it dives into the water -;
before it dives, 1t makes u loud noise,
and then goes under the water.
Our old duck, made her nest under
the bee-house, and when she patched
her little ducks she told The old drake
that she could not get them out; he
went with her and tried to help Get them
out: they began to quack, quack, quack
and at last they all came out.
