SAXTONS RIVER.

Saxtons River is village that
any one may feel proud to live in.
Our churches, schools, factorys, mills
and stores are equal to any other
place in Vermont, for its size. But
with the amount of property here in

envy, in which the whole state is in.
terested, and gave its money to build
up and support, not one cent has ever
been laid out to protect the property
against fire. No fire brigade. No
engine, pumps, water works or even
one-half dozen pals are kept for the
protection of what we now have.
The business men who hold the lar
gest amount of real estate seem to
have the least interest. We have
often thought that they seem to say
to themselves, as long as the Insur-
ance companys are fools to insure us
for more than its worth let it burn.

not afford to carry such large insur-
ance, who loses perhaps $1,000 to

Burglars were in our village again
on Friday night, entering by cellar
window the store of Glynn's. Quite
a large amount of goods were stolen.
This is the sixth or eighth time rob-
berry to stores has been committed
and no attention has ever been paid
to it, seemingly that if they did they
might loose some trade byit. But as
this is Mr.. Glynn's first time we are
glad he is taking measures to try and
capture the thieves and we wish him
success. Some of our citizens think
the thieves may not live far off, if moi
we hope they will be captured ant
punished at once.

Mrs. Mansfield left her Highland
farm on Monday for her Philadelphia
home and will probably not return I'M
til next spring. Mrs. Mansfield had
some difficulty with some of our town
officers in the early part of the sum-
mer over an unlicensed dog, and feels
as though she was not treated in the
matter with that courtesy usually ex-
tended to respectable ladies, and de-
sires that the matter be laid before
the people. To this end she has
furnished us a statement which we
give below, substantially in her own
words:
Two days after my arrival last summer
my son sent me from Philadelphia val
liable English setter dog. 1t had a good
reputation for being gentle and kind. A
few days after receiving the dog / had
him on the road, chained, and was hold
ing him while talking to the stage driver
when Dennis Frederick suddenly came
up, and as | turned to talk to him the
dog, that had learned to be my protector,
and was the only one | then had, jumped
on him and bit him. Before / could &C
and get him registered Frederick had
made complaint and license was refused
/ then wrote to my son inquiring what
should be done with the dog, but before
there was time to receive reply was
called up at o'clock in the morning by
a loud knocking at my door, upon open
ing my chamber window l discovered
two men, both strangers to me. Wher
inquired their business one of them be
gan to read document, not one word o
which could understand. He then tolt
me that he had come to kill my dog.
: begged and pleaded for time, as ! wa
alone and did not know what to do. ant
it seemed such wicked thing. 1t seem
ed that any one that had human hear
in their breast would have been movet
by my entreaties, but they were withou
avail, and this man said that if | did no
bring the dog out he would break tn,
door down. l then asked if could hav
time to dress. This they granted. / thel
, put on my clothes and lead my gentle
faithful dog out and chained him to
tree. Soon the sound of gun told m
that had no longer even the protection
of dog. | went back to the house un
nerved and Frustrated with grief, and sa
for a long time like one paralized. / thel
packed my things to go to Boston wher
could be among kind friends. After
sleepless night / went to the depot, an
, had bought my ticket. my trunk was pu
aboard, and then / was arrested by Dept
Sheriff Melendy, taken before a Justic
and fined. This l paid and was 500
out of the state. ] returned after tw
: weeks but am now leaving for the seaso
hoping in warmer climate to regain m
+ health, and forget what has transpire
, here.

This town furnishes II striking case

In 1882 Halle +, Goddard, who
resides with her grandfather, Cyrus
Babbitt, and who was then about IS
years of age, was taken sick and was
confined to her room, most of the
time to her bed, till August, 1888,
about six years. In this time she had
become a helpless object of pity, be-
ing terribly emaciated, almost blind
and unable to speak only in whis-
per. Her limbs were drawn up, and
muscles hardened and swollen to such
an extent that it was impossible to
straighten them by the combined force
of two men. This experiment was
tried by a Boston physician. During
this time ten of the best physicians
in Vermont and one from Boston
were called, and all pronounced the
case incurable. In August 1888 Mrs
DR.. Leet, a Christian Scientist from
Wallingford, Conn, was called and
the case given into her hands, ant
under her treatment Miss Goddard
soon began to gain and has since
continued to progress until now sh'

out of doors every day when pleasant

Her limbs are now perfectly straigh
and natural her eye-sight is perfect

work and certainly seems to be on tn
road to speedy and permanent recov
cry.
