Miss Louise b. Drake.
News comes from Richvile of the
death at her home there on Tuesday |
evening of Mrs. John Chadwick, who had |
been in failing health for many months.
The funeral is appointed at o'clock |
this afternoon at the house.
The funeral of James McCue was at
tended from the Catholic church last
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. The burial
was in the Catholic cemetery. The de-
ceased was a son of Mr.. George McCue
of Weybridge. He died on Thursday of
last week of consumption.
The weather of the past week has been
remarkable for sudden changes. On
Sunday the thermometer got up to 50
above in the shade, but early Monday
morning it was down to 81 and there was
a slight frost on low ground. Yesterday
morning early it stood at only 3G above.
"Ihe railroad officials haye concluded
to join the rural Improvement society in
an attempt to improve the appearance
of the local station and its surround
ings." So writes the Brattleboro cor
respondent of an exchange. 1t isn't true
in Middlebury, but we wish it was.
Nothing new has been learned relative to
the matter of a new station here and it
begins to look as if the expectation of
one the present season might not be real
lied.
