! a family jar in which a daughter-in-
/ law and mOther-in-laW were the COM
| batantS, occurred on the Island > a few
| days ago. The aforesaid daughter was
repremanding her child, when the grand
mother interfered, and then occurred

considerably pounded. We understand

ashamed of themselves, that TGpeti-
ton of the affray is not likely TO occur.
4 more unfavorable season for haying
than the present is seldom heard OF. HE

impeded the work. Many farmers who

threatened with rust. The rain has
been a serious setback to farm work Of
all kinds.

The fence around our village cemete-
ry is in a sadly dilapidated condition. 1t
has been so for number of years. Why
it is allowed to remain in that state is
question frequently asked by people both
in and out of the village. Not only is it
disgraceful to the community, bat it is
also disrtspectful to the dead. Let the
fence be rebuilt and neatly painted, and
do away with the ''step ladder method
OF egreSS and exit. If this is done we
words of encOmium from the taxpayers.
Economic i'll other directions, gentle
men, but give proper care to the grave
yards.
Conductor Root of the Hyde Park
train got left Monday morning. The
train leaves here at six o'clock, but that
morning he was not called, as the boys
thought he was at WOlcott. The train
started out in charge of Joe Leach, and
when pulling out of MOrrisville, an OBJ
ject with pail in one hand and coat
in the other. was seen skipping rapidly
over the tics; so rapid were his steps
that he went over the railroad bridge IN
about fott4t strides The sUain was stopped
and the belated conductor taken on
made the time from Hyde
Parkto MOrrisville in twenty minutes.
Although considerably warmed up by
his early morning walk, he had fully re-
covered when the train reached st.
Johnsbury. He now sleeps with one ear
open.
There IS nobody more attached to
home than our neighbOr II. j. Lilley.
As soon as the days WORK is done at the
Falls, he starts with his team for his
abode. Being also geneTCus-hearted
man, he generally carries his help home.
1t matters not whether the vehicle in use
is one of Lilley's substantial lumber
wagons or d Superanuated buck board,
he loads on all hands. Last Saturday he
had the blackboard, and being anxious
to see that young Ben Harrison at his
house he started off at arapid gait. win
Putnam and himself occupied the seat,
while a couple of his boys, Fred and
Irwin, took seats on the axle. Slam
bang they went along, Putnam's dinner
pail jingling out a lively tune, while
Fred's teeth kept up a chattering ac-
compartment. Young Twins best
efforts were put forth by holding on to
his hat with one hand and the seat with
the Other-a feat quite difficult to &C
cOmplish, considering the rapid move
ment of the vehicle. The driver sat erect,
| his feet well braced and looked neither
to the right nor the left, but with an on
ward expression fixed his eyes upon the
| horse. Rapid time was being made,
and despite the entreaties of the occu-
pants of the soft seat i'll the rear, the
distance home was fast being shortened.
| Boardman hill was reached and the de-
scent begun, when all at once one of the
| boys was dumped into the ditch, while
the other occupants were bounced up
and down In lively manner. For a
| time 1t was irregular raZZle-daZZle move
ment with them, but the horse was final

a rear wheel had suddenly dissolved

the CONCERN without due notice. AS
driving a blackboard ON three wheels
was an unknown art with them. the
party decided that the best way for them
to get home was to foot it, which
they did, reaching there safely in due
season. The boys say that the catastrophe
was caused By their fathers reckless ex-
hibitiOn of rapid transit, while pGterfa-
n9ilidS is not certain whether the wheel
was solid or the load too heavy. The
problem is yet unsolYed,
