SAILS URY.

a special town meeting was held Tues
day, Oct. %, to decide what action the
town would take in regard to opening
the cross road thrown up one year ago
by the selectmen. The meeting was
lightly attended, but those present were
more or less directly interested in the
matter. Sound arguments in favor of re-
opening the road were made by 5. j..
Valley, Hon. S. p. Nash and w. w.
Crook. A ballot was taken, which re-
suited in favor of reopening the road by
three majority. This action will do away
with the special commission appointed
by the county court last December and
save the town much needless expense.
1t is claimed by property-owners on the
said highway that the board of selectmen
who caused its discontinuance did so ille-
gally, and there may be still another
chapter to add to the records of the case
by and by.
The following lines were written on
the death of Mrs. William Conant:
Dear sister, wilt thou leave us, and must we
from thee part!
It sends throb OF anguish, which goes from
heart to heart.
Oh, what joys we've had, while walking in the
way,
AS in the Masters vineyard we were working
day by day.
Oh, how wen miss thee in our dwellings
where thou hast wrought SO well;
Well miss thee at the morning service and a
the call OF the evening bell.
Wen miss thee in the Bible class, for there has
| been so sweet
The study OF the precious word. Who'll I'll
| the vacant seat?
But in thine own dear home will be found the
keenest smart,
For there the deepest sorrow will rend ths
bleeding heart;
They'll miss thee at the festal board, they'll
miss thee everywhere,
But the place they will miss thee most will b,
the hour OF prayer.

chronicle so pleasant and enjoyable an

AMI Mrs. Charles w. Mason, which oc-

spite the inclement weather a goodly and
exceedingly happy company gathered at
AMI Immediately took possession of the
beautiful house of the happy couple,
wien congratulations of the most sincere
AMI hearty character were extended the
family entire. After pleasant season
of sociability, refreshments were served
in IN elaborate manner. Among the many
tokens of regard that were presented to
Mr. and Mrs. Mason was a magnificent
silver ice pitcher with gold receiver. S.
B. NJ. Cowles made the presentation re-
marks in very appropriate and touch
ing manner, to which Mr.. Mason feeling
ly responded. Mr.. Mason is one of the
most enterprising and successful citizens
of New Haven, large landholder and
quite an extensive sheep dealer and breed
er, by means of which he has acquired
handsome property. Five children have
been born to this couple, to whom the
most liberal advantages have been and
are being given to fit them for
life of usefulness. Death has new
er visited this family during their
married life, thing which can rarely be
said of many families. Mrs. Cornelia
Mason is the daughter of Jabez Rogers
of Ferrisburgh, and is most estimable
lady, and to her rare qualifications as a
wife and mother can be attributed much
of the success of the family. She is a
valuable member of society, and a kind
word is deservedly spoken of her-and
cannot be out of place-while living,
when so much that is good and kind will
surely be said some time.
