after some six years he married Miss
Laura Chase and purchased the old
Dea. Locke farm, afterwards selling

he lived until his death. Being early
taught and ever practicing habits of
industry, economy and honesty, he was
a man that the town needed to fill

times justice of the peace, besides

Legal Matters.

An important suit has been brought
by Belden & lde against the South
Eastern Railway company for Elisha F.
Berry. Mr.. Berry was injured by the
collision on the South Eastern road
December 10, 1882, and has not been
able to leave his bed since the time of
the accident, and his friends think he
will die of his injuries. The suit claims
200 damages. Mr.. Berry formerly
lived in Wheelock and has been stop
ping in Sheffield since the accident.
His home is in Iowa.
A bill in chancery has been brought
by Elisha Foster of Bloomington
against Stafford National bank to de
termine the right to control the outlet
to WillOughby lake. The bank owns
the land at the outlet, and claims to
control the stream. Mr.. Foster has a
charter from the Vermont legislature
authorizing him to erect gates and con-
troll the stream. The important ques-
ton seems to be whether the legisla-
ture can give one man right to enter
upon and occupy anOther's land. o.

at its height, and the woman with brush
and broom reigns supreme. 1t is the
time when every nook and Granny re-
veals a capacity for storing articles of
every conceivable nature only equalled

how large house one occupies, there
is one time when the house is not large
enough to hold all the articles which it
is desired to store in it, and that is af-
ter the annual spring house-cleaning.
But patience will achieve great tri-
