The bear story, founded on facts and
written some years ago by the Hon. Geo.
wilkins. in which our tOwnsmen Byron
russell, John Fairbanks and others fig
ured prominently, VIII appear in the
coming issue of the Mirror and Farmer. |
For daring. the deeds of these men in |
entering the den of several grown bears
Is hardly equalled, and the story as told |
is we'll worth the reading.
The people of the lower part of the |
town recently turned out in goodly num-
bers, 10 on one day and 26 on another
day, and harvested the grain of Cabot
Morrison, who has been long and seri-
ously afflicted with rheumatism. That |
these kindly neighbors will be rewarded
for their deed of sympathy there is but
little doubt, unless, perchance, they fail |
to go where rewards are freely bestowed |
on those who so worthily merit them.
The fishing season is drawing to a
close, and the laurels won and lost in
manipulating the rod, with one or two
exceptions, are hardly worth mention.
Occasionally we have heard lovers of the |
sport speak of large trout which they
have seen and tried to catch, but failed |
because ofthe Discrimination of the fish to
be caught. These speckled sports of the
stream have been estimated to weigh |
from two to four pounds, probably mag
nitied by the water or the eve of the |
anxious beholder. The largest caught,
however, of which we have any reliable |
was one taken from the
river near the Branch by Ozmond Stay
ton, weighing one pound and ten ounces,
the lad who had this luck being hardly |
the larger of the two,
o. w. III. Upham, of Massachusetts,
who, it will be remembered. found pleas
ure in spending several summers on the
Branch sketching, and after little, built |
a studio, had a reception, etc., came TO
town few days since to revive old ac-
quaintances. He now finds pleasure in
family which prevents his return here
but he has for a term or two
past been a member of the general as
semble of the commonwealth, and may
be returned at the conlinar election He
ihhefits much ability, lis father former
ly being a Congressman from that State,
and an uncle being the distinguished
author and scholar, Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
Two of Stoves aged citizens have
suddenly fallen during the past week.
Truman Moody, aged rs, and Zimri Luce,
aged 81 years. Mr., Moody had been in
his usual health up to about 8 o'clock on
Tuesday morning of last week, when he
was suddenly taken i'll, living but a few
hours. He was man very much respec-
ted and died in the fullness of years and
the love of those whose fortune it was to
know and care for him. The funeral
services were held at the home of his
daughter Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Douglass officiating. On Sunday evening,
Mr.. Luce. while sitting in his chair, sud-
denly became unconscious, from which
he did not recover. His remarkable vital |
powers delayed final summons until Fri
day. He has during the summer cut feed |
enough to nearly, or quite, keep cow.
besides cultivating potatoes and garden |
vegetables sufficient to amply supply the |
table of himself and daughter, with |
whom he lived. He has for years eX-
pressed himself as reconciled to the will |
of God, and as his friends believe, passed |
from this life in the full possession of that |
hope which endureth forever. Within a |
little more than II months he has buried |
from his household his aged companion |
and her brother, Asa Knight, each rising
of so years. The funeral services of Mr..
Luce were held at the house on Saturday
afternoon, the Rev. Mr.. Douglass Off
