The old bell in the tower of st. MaTy's
church in Biddeford was rung Sunday for
the first time in twenty-three years. This
bell was purchased at an expense of 500
when Father Eugene Vetromile was pastor
of the church. In less than three months
from the time it was placed in the tower the
heavy tongue cracked the bell and so entlre-
ly out of harmony were its notes rendered
that the rope was cut down and it was never
used. Now Father Harrington is going to
have it rung until his parishioners are glad
to contribute for another. The cash has be-
gun to come in already.
The house and barn of Franklin Blaney
at Kittery were burned Monday night. Loss
