 CORRESPONDENCE. t...
 THE ANDovER COW.
 Your Coventry itemizer is informed that the officer who had the COW on its way to the pound was fully posted as to his duty. If he had taken the fee before the animal was locked in he would have been liable to the law at that time. The only way out was to let the COW go home. That was not good way to act, as said officer had taken oath to faithfully perform the duties of the office. The intimation that Boyn- tons or any ones animals were favored is not so. Every animal astray was impound- ed if seen by the vigilant field driver. I recollect head were driven in one day, all belonging to resident of the village As to the Boynton's, they enjoyed the. fun as much as any one. l.. w. Boynton had 8 COW locked in. In the morning she was in the yard at home, ready to be milked. No money had been paid for fees. No one said she always was pesky thing to jump. I expect John Rogue could give us some light on that COW if he felt so disposed. He was ill the employ of B, at that time, and had strength enough to hoist bullock. The locks and everything about the yard were in order. No one could dis cover scratch. Now let me say to your readers: l did not expect to give se- rles of fecollectlons from memory only, and assume them to be infallible or above criticism. The fact that they call out your correspondents is an indication that they have created some interest.
 l am not going to defend the matters here recorded as right in every way. The forty whigs did good thing in smashing the ring. And I do know that the said Wm. R. Storrs would as soon have driven Deacon Boynton's cattle or Rev. H. B. Blake's, if found astray, as those of any other men. He was man who was fear less and faithful, and I find him as genial gentleman as ever, often recalling old times as we meet occasionally in his visits east. South Coventry has been highly fa- vored in retaining for so many years the genial and successful Doctor Henry Dean. The doctor has long been resident, hay ing married daughter of the late Marvin Curtis, one of Coventry's prominent men. 1t IS seldom we find man who has been so devoted to his patients, or applied him. self closer to his profession. The writer knows whereof he speaks, as he was our trusted family physician for years The doctor IS q very modest man. I know he will blush if he happens to glance at this. Never mlnd-lts all true, and your towns | people will endorse every word. HTS.
 NORTH COVENTRY.
 Allow me to correct few errors in AsooollcCIloAS aDOtlG coventry 1l your last paper. Capt. Kingsbnry died several years ago. Your correspondent says, ''The voting was done alternately, one year in the north, the following year in the south par ish. The subsequent growth of the south finally led to change" The change has not yet come. There was an effort made to bring about such change, but the result proved that the growth of the sonth' parish was not sufficient, or per- haps more properly many of the residents of the south parish deemed such change unjust. Salmon Brewster, now deceased, and his brother, Henry A., who is still resident with us, married daughters of | James Badger, of Mansfield, and Luther P. Gager, who still resides at the old home, married Julia Brewster, sister of the brothers mentioned.
