A Remarkable Couple.

N tNeIldThaDle COupIe.
The death at Newbury Dec. 9th of
Mrs. Wells Goodwin dissOlves a mar
riage which has been, in one sense, a
remarkable one. Her maiden name
was Mehetabel Heath. She was born
in Salem, Mass, NOy. Z, 1894, and in
Oct. 1916, seventy-one years ago, was
Newbury, one day younger than her
self, who had been a soldier in the
(then) recent war of 1912, and who sur
wives her, in quite vigorous health.
Their life has been spent in Newbury
and adjoining towns, and to them
were born twelve children, six sons
and six daughters, of whom four
daughters and two sons are still living.
Such instances of marital longevity are
rare, and this one has been exceeded
only once in the 125 years of ewbury's
history,-Col. John Smith and wife of
West Newbury lived together as man
and wife ~ years, lacking "a few days.
This circumstance recalls an Obser-
vation of Hugh Miller upon similar
instance, related in "Rambles of a &C.
ologist, THAT the statistican can as
certain from his tables of longevity the
number of infants in 10000 who will
reach the age of SO, but to compute the
chances that the girl in her 22d year,
destined to reach her Oath year shall be
wooed and married by the man des-
tined to survive her, will take him be-
yond his calculation of chances alto

VILLAGE MEETING.
Evaything Tranquil and Harmoni

Everything Tranquil and Harmonious.
The annual village meeting was
held yesterday afternoon in the town
hall There was fair attendance.
The meeting was called to order by
Cletk Jno. c. Clark, when the follow
ing village officers were elected:
President, Albro F. Nichols.
| Chrk. Jno. C. Clark
Treasurer, E. D. Blodgett.
Trustees, Col. T. c. Fletcher, o. P.
Bennett, |. H. Frost, A. l.. Bragg,
Chailes Calderwood.
Fire wardens, Frank West, John
Rhodes, Charles L. Carpenter S. H.
Kent Brock Ingalls,, HI. Howard, r. b.
Shields.
Collector, Avery d. Pike.
Arflitors, A. B. Noyes, Harry Blod-
gett, Dennis E. May.
Allthese officers were chosen by ac-
claniation excepting the last member
of q hoard of trustees. Col. w. P.
Fairbanks was nominated as the first
member of the board but positively re-
fused to serve. Charles Calderwood
and Francis Richardson were both
nominated as fifth member when a
ballot decided in favor of the forme T.,
who received So out of l0l votes cast.
The subject of fire wardens was pretty
thoroughly discussed, E. F. Brown
urging that it was an important board
and that its duties should be faithfully
performed.
Under Article 2 of the warrant
Treasurer Blodgett reported the viii
lage finances in excellent condition
and stated that if no greater expenses
were to be met than last year a tax of
80 cents ON the dollar on the grand
list would be sufficient and would
leave nearly $4,000 as working fund
at the end of the year until the next
tax was due. The tax last year
was 40 cents on the dollar, hence
the reduction is about 25 per cent.
On motion of Harvlin Paddock it was
voted to table the article until an ad-
journed meeting in May.
Article 4, to see if the village will
authorize the trustees to purchase ad-
ditional water power, was dismissed.
Under Article 5, Gen. III. X. Idle
called attention to the possibility OF
trouble on account of scarcity of water
and suggested the need of a reservoir
that would hold three or four days
supply of water that might be used in
case of emergency. He moved that
the board of trustees be instructed tC
investigate the matter and to report al
an adjourned meeting an estimate o
the expense necessary to build such I
reservoir and the motion was carried
On motion of Major N. p. Bowman il
was voted that the trustees be instruct
ed to procure the services of the bant
for the year ensuing, as last year. ant
to pay the band not exceeding $500.
Meeting adjourned to the first Tues
day in May.

A Handsome and Cheerful Response.
Three weeks ago the Caledonian
published extracts from private let
ter from Mrs. Montgomery in which
she gave a vivid account of the dread
full famine in the district in Turkey
where she and her husband are mis-
sionaries. At that time we advertised
to receive and forward to Mr.. Mont
gomery for distribution to the sufferers
such sums of money as should be
handed in. The record, including this
week, foots up S239.74-a very graft
flying result, and beyond our faith
But this is not all. The publication
of the letters in question has stirred up

Review of the Year.

On the inside pages of this issue
will be found an extended review OF
the year 1887 as regards local events
in this town aud county. Every effort
has been made to have the record a
correct one, and it is hoped that it will
prove to be so. The year 1887 was in
many particulars an eventful one, spe-
cially noteworthy as having witnessed
many changes among the business men
of the county, and also many deaths
particularly among the aged people. II
furnishes a complete diary of Local
events of the year and will make in
teresting reading for absent friends

Harry French's Lecture.

Harry Erencn'S Lecture.
Harry French delivered the seventh
lecture in the Y. NJ. C. A. course Mon
day evening. His subject, "Pictur-
esque Ireland" was one a little out of
the ordinary course and proved to be
very interesting. Mr.. French is an
excellent speaker and the lecture gave
a good idea of Ireland as a whole, and
some new ideas to those not familiar
with the subject. The pictures were
equally good, clear cut and many of
them specially beautiful. A few por-
traits of some of Ireland's eminent
men were presented and the interest
was well sustained from beginning to
end. The seventh entertainment must
be reckoned another success for the
seasons course.

Hugh Moore Gained.
The American house at Amesbury,
Mass, was the scene of peculiar af-
fair Saturday evening, Dec. "a, in
which Hugh C. Moore, formerly of St.
Johnsbury, played a prominent part.
Some so boarders in tn house and 9th :
er friends called him into the dining
room when one of their number pro-
duced an elegant, gold headed, ebony
cane which was presented to Mr..
Moore with the Christmas greetings OF
his friends. A big banquet followed
the presentation after which there was
speech making and a general good
time. The local paper says this token
of appreciation was in every way well
deserved, for under Mr.. MOOre's man
agement the American house ''has be-
come a resort that travellers hail with
delight"
