The severe storm that swept across
the continent, struck us Monday night,
in the form of slcet, some six inches
falling, badly blockading railroads in
every direction. The mail train that tcft
this station at Z Tuesday morning did
not reach Brattleboro until 10 O'Clock
that night. 1t returned the next morn
ing, but only reached Jamaica, the
snow plow being stalled at Cobb brook
bridge. The mails and express were
sent by team, and the train reterned to
Brattleborro. On Wednesday, by the
aid of a small army of shovclers and
pickers and with two engines the snow

THE YEARLY BuRYlNG GROUND,

Mr.. VIM. Yearly says, the first per-
son buried in the Yearly Cemetery
was Elvira Nourse, aged Is, whose pa
rents lived in Goshen, and that it was
about the year 1928. Then but small
space of ground was cleared, and she
was buried by the side Of log near
where the road now runs,
The "Parson' writes us of the
NORTH VILLAGE CEMETERY,
as follows:
''The burying ground at the north
village was formerly part of the
johnson farm, the south line being the
boundary between that and the Garfield
farm. | well remember a grave Oh the
Garfield land, near the line. and at the
same time | remember seeing a grave
on the johnson farm. The grave on the
Garfield side, | think was member of
John Garfield's family, and by the tomb
stone erected thereon you may learn the
time the ground was started. | think
the two graves were made about the
same time, and my impression is the
one on the Johnson side was filed
by either child of Joseph johnson or
some one who died near the grouds, in
house then standing there. There may
have been an addition made to the yard
since from the Garfield farm; if so the
grave spoken of may not be the most
southern one i'll the yard. At the time
L mention there was fence between
the two graves, the one Oh the grave
yard side being nearer to it than the
one on the other side"

"SiS dollars and fifty-three cents Il nice
payment for making s0l shirts, is it not p"
was the indignant question Of New York
merchant to reporter last week as he
pulled out pay-book from his pocket and
showed the figures in black and white. "No,
am wrong. The estimable employers paid
SI'5, but you must deduct from that 81. %
for car fares, and then you have Sc. 80 for
making 90l shirts, Who was fool enough
to accept the job? III tel. you, A man
came here from Silesia about fifteen months
ago with his wife and two children. lie
brought with him two sewing machines,
and he and his wife managed to support
themselves for some months by making
shields for caps, When the demand for
these articles ceased he sought other em-
ployment, but was unable to lind any. At
last friend told him that firm would DO
willing to employ him at making shirts
lie jumped at the idea, went to the firm,
got the material for the shirts, and set TO
work at once, after he had provided HIM
self with cotton thread and other nccCssa-
rles. That was November 20, From that
day until December o. he and his wife and
another woman, who provided q third sew
ing machine, worked from q o'clock in the
morning to II o'clock at night and at the
end OF the time they had finished 29l shirts
and received $40
-" lie lived in Brooklyn, at Il considerable
distance from the ferry and had to pay a
considerable sum in car fares, The agree
ment was that he should receive 30 cents
for every dozen shirts, and November 25
he took three shirts to his employers, eX-
nprtlnD n a Of In = ~ ~
a shirt But how could he be paid the odd
half cent? Would his employers be mag
unanimous enough to give him cents in
stead OF IL? Quite the contrary. They
paid him cents instead of IL cents his
lawful due. December 3, he took eight
dozen shirts to his employers and received
$40; the 9Th he took another eight dozen
and received &.6i, the increased wages be.
ing accounted for by the fact that these
shirts required to be finished better than
the Others, and the 9th he took Il third eight
