Our people manifested very little inter
est in the Photograph exhibition that was
here last week. The little machine, not
withstanding, acquitted itself well and
whether 1t was talking, singing, holding
concerts, or anything else it was success
| full. 1t is really remarkable that cylinder
of wax. a stilus, small vibrating phone,
a few wires, etc, will do such remarka-
BILE things. Among the seemingly most
difficult things was the rendering of band
music, by which not only the general
effect of commingled sounds was produc-
| ed, but the different instruments could be
distinguished. The sound of the human
voice is given to perfection, every pecu-
liarity and variety of vocal sound being
! heard distinctly. The average man or
| woman ought to be interested in the |
! photograph not only foI what it can do |
but for what it is-the most wonderful /
thing of the age.
| One windy morning Eben S. Wood |!
| ward, who lives in the east part of this |
| town, had quite scare and very plucky /
! fight with fire. He hung his lantern up |
in the barn where he was wont to hang |
it, and soon after he heard the noise of |
flames on hay which was set on fire. He |
went for it in earnest, first taking off his |
frock to smother the flames but not sue |
ceeding he lay down and rolled the fire |
out. His clothes were considerably |
burned and his hair and whiskers were |
singed by the flames. When Eben sur |
renders it may be known that there is not |
much use of fighting longer. See, it was |
not long since that his oxen drew heavy !
birch log over him in the woods and he |
wouldn't permit himself to be very badly |
used up by that accident.
