Our winter thaw took the grip" We'd
nesday night and since then has been
pretty efectually laid up. 1t is probable

All the club papers ordered through
this Office up to Jan. 9, have been sent for

us by card. One batch of Yankee Blades
seems to have gone astray somewhere.

to get them started soon. We hope our

ders at once, as we desire to close up the
clubbing business soon.
We publ sh this week from the pen of
f. T. Wilson of this village, an account
of the running away of Long Pond, now
known as Runaway Pond, in Glover. Mr..
Wilson has spent much time in the exam
ination of the grounds and in obtaining
exact and full data, and his account is
probably as reliable and as interesting as
any ever published of the event. 1t will
be read with much interest.
The remains of Halvor Peterson reached
