Last Friday afternoon snow fell so the
ground was white in a few minutes, Civ
ing wintry appearance and chilly at
mosphere. This was followed with rain,
and Sunday morning Sol shone out clear
and warm, and gladdened earth and men,
beasts and birds with its CHEEKY bright
ness.
Christopher Wetherbee and wife were
in town last week visiting relatives and
friends. They are pleasantly and happi-
ly situated in their new home, and though
missed from their old home, they seem
to have done a wise thing in changing
their location.
a little stranger came to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Rugg last week, and
being the first grandchild on either side
of the house, will doubtless be tossed
and tumbled. and petted and spoiled,
after the manner of such wonderful chill
dren.
DR.. Briggs met with singular acct
dent last Friday morning. He was lead
ing his colt. when it behaved in man
ner which demanded correction. and he
struck it with his whip across the legs.
The whip, which was made of whalebone.
broke and flew back with such force as
to penetrate the flesh of his leg. The
wound bled freely. causing taintness,
but with the exception of few hours
he has been about, attending to business
as usual.
A neat monument has been erected in
the old cemetery at the Centre the past
week, the first one ever placed in the
rl-C ha
place of Solomon Wood. who was born
in 1904. and died in 1884, and his wife,
Lovina Dodge. who was born in 1913 and
died in 1886. In small letters under the
word Wood" on the front of the stone
is this sentence: Erected by their two
sons" These sons were left penniless
orphans at very early age, but were
cared for by friends and lived in town
until they had got we'll into their teens.
The oldest, Hiram, lives in New Hamp-
shire, and Sydney in Lowell, Vt. The
people are pleased that these sons have
done themselves such credit, and hope
they will come and visit these graves
and the few surviving friends OF their
boyhood who may still remain here.

were in town last week.

Sunday afternoon, the first time Rollin

Elder Buzzell was at North Cambridge
and Binghamville last Sunday, and
spoke elequently of Moses and the burn
ing bush. He had an attentive audience
Miss Scott, who engaged to teach the
