We noticed at the depot Monday
the finest lumber wagon we ever saw.
1t came from Wilder 4 Boomhower's
shop, and was ticketed for the State
fair. The entire work was implanted.
The iron work was highly polished,
and the whole covered with a coat of
yarnish.
1he union temperance meeting was

such dimensions that he finds it nee

for his business. Ed" says that

1t is no uncommon thing for ''bee /
hunters to find in hollow trees and /
other places, large quantities of hon
ey-sOme times several hundred |
pounds. Doubtless ii was this fact
that stimulated George Goodrich and !
Levi Gle in a recent hunt inaugurated |
by them, which terminated successful
ly on Saturday last, after nine full |
days of uninterrupted search. They T.
worked some time alone, but finally |
enlisted the services of GaIusha TAYLOR
of Fletcher, who found the bees well |
up in the mountain Friday night.
''Slade" tells us it was a jolly party
that came down from the search that |
night. The next morning elaborate
preparations were made for smoking
out the bees and taking possession of
the stores. The BOYS were in high
spirits, and offered Slade shake in
the honey if he wished to go up. The
work was, of course, nearly over, and
S,ade fell in. The party took. with
them four Shaker pals and five ten
quart pans, and led by Brown, reached
the tree, which was a birch, 2 1-2
feet through, without difficulty. Ev-
knows that George always
feels good, but Slade says he oupRt
% have been seen when that tree felb, |
and the hidden sweetness came within
reach. The bees were smoked and
taken out easily and George investi-
gated. SIade testifieS that LIE took out
three small pieces Of comb and an
ounce of honey, and no more. Geo.
seemed to be paralyzed, but recovered
sufficiently to enquire of Slade if it
wouldn't be just as well not TO men
ton the matter at the village.
The following comment on the
Madame Fry Concert Company from
the Bennington Retorn1er warrants
the belief that the people Of this place
will be favored with a rare treat by
their appearance here on Friday eve
ming of this week. Furthermore the
Morrisville band are to furnish music
outside, and will share in the receipts.
The boys will apply their share to the
fund for new uniforms. Those attend |
ing will have the satisfaction of get
ting their moneys worth and helping
on q worthy object at the same time.

The concert by Madame Fry and |
