 A few of the many friends of MT. and Mrs. c. A. Harwocd dropped in to say good bye on Tuesday evening. The affair was quite impromptu and almost as much surprise to the one party as the other A good time followed, inevitably and 8 substantial token was left with the host to indicate the cordial esteem felt by the community. The loss of this family to the neighborhood, by their removal to Hampden, Is we'll realized, and more ex- tended notice of the above gathering would probably have brought out an overwhelm- ing expression.

The case was decided the 2Oth of March in favor of the Telegraph Co.,, giv- ing them all they asked for. The people of our town are disappointed and dissatis- fled. If the matter could have been ap- pealed it would have been. The people have no rights that telegraph companies choose to respect If our county con- missioners could not decide differently, we shall blame the law, not them. East and west along the whole line the feeling is the same as in Bolton. The commis- sioners were asked by our people not to To- cate these poles at all, or on another road.

-Orrin s, Todd, living in the south. eastern part of Holland, died on the 24th ut. undoubt' dly from glanders. About the 1st of March deceased traded for a horse, which had symptoms of some dis temper, and MT: T. sApposing it to be of an epizootio nature, treated 1t by blowing smoke into it's nostrils. About March 8th he was taken himself with disease, the symptoms of which were entirely new to his attending physician, Dr. Johnson, Of Mansfield, until the latter, hearing that Todd had glandered horse, noted that MT. ITS symptoms tailed exactly with those of th's rare but terrible dIst ase in man. Medical aid was nnayailing. The attention of Gov. Hyde of the state com. mission was called to the case, and the horse was slaughtered in the presence of Veterinary Surgeon Rice and an assistant from the office of Dr. Liantard of New York. The horse was found to be most unmistakably glandrred. It will be re- mt mbered that some months ago several Rockville horses were reported to be glan- dered, and the animal whose condition caused Mir. Fodd's death is thought, to have been one of these, or an animal in- i fected by them.
