The worst storm of the season set
in early Monday evening and con-
| tinhed all night, and Tuesday morn
ing the highways and railroad were
completely blockaded. The mail train
going east was three hours late and
came into this station with four en-
gines. Several engines got stalled,
and altogether it was hard day for
lrailroading. The northern stage did
not venture out.
The exhibition given by the pri-
mary department Tuesday evening
was very pleasant entertainment in

were well rendered and showed careful
training. Miss Vaughan, the teacher,
may we'll feel proud of the success of
the affair. The attendance, notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather, was
good, and snug sum, the nucleus for
a school organ, realized.
A recent issue of the argus con-
tanned the following regarding Rev.
J. d. Beeman, well known in this
locality: @ Rev. j. D. Beeman is a
fortunate man, his investments nearly
all turning out to good advantage.
Last year he purchased a large tract
of land near Moriah, n. Y, for the
pulp wood upon it, and from the sale
of that made a handsome profit, and
now marble quarry has been dis
cover on the property, the product of
which finds quick sale at from $l2
TO SIS per square yard, at the Port
Henry dock. This marble is suscep-
tlble of very high polish, and its
variegated colors make it very valua-
BILE for all ornamental work in which
marble is used. Mr.. Beeman is to be
congratulated on this stroke of good
fortune" And we would add that we
understand Mrs. Beeman has recently
fallen heir to large fortune.
The will of the late Mrs. Louise
Rich Bowen, whose strange lite and
death was recorded few weeks since,
was offered for probate last week.
| The will disposes of about $4,000, in
money, including something over
$1,000 found sewed into the bottom
of an old valise since the death of the
testatriX. The provisions of the will
are such that the whole estate, includ-
ing her interest in her fathers estate,
now being probated, which amounts
to about $1,000 more, goes to two
nieces residing in Waterbury, in trust.
Her husband, who is left without any
provision, contests the will on the sew
erql grounds of imbecility, incompe-
tency and undue influence. The adj
minlstratOr of her fathers estate, o.
NJ. Fitch of Johnson, also comes in
and claims a part of the testatrix's
estate as belonging rightfully to the
estate Of her father. The will was
proved and approved and an appeal
taken by Mr.. Bowen. T. j. Boynton
and Brigham & Mcfarland appeared
for Mr.. Bowen, L. s. Thompson for
the legatees Of the will, and p. X.
Gleed for o. NJ. Fitch.
