Newell b. Coolidge was unanimously elected
on Monday last. chairman Of the board OF
>electmen. For twerty-one consecutive wears
Mr.. Coolidge la. been elected on that board.
and for twenty consecutive years chairman Of
the board These facts show two things To be
true: Mr.. Coolidge must be not only very

ON Saturday last As John Hinckley was
standing near hi- house at Reed'- Pond, a deer
came bounding into the yard closely followed
BY hound. The deer's neck bore evidence of
the attacks of the dog and was badly cut and
lacerated. The poor animal was about run
down and must soon have fallen victim 10
the savage attacks OF the dog. Mr.. lInrkley
deer and took it into his care. He has 1t now
in h- charge. He attended a. best he could 10

was discontinued by those who knew it would
not be opened until spring. Alas. for those
who did not know this. With entire conf
dence in the efficiency OF Uncle Sans servants
they dropped their letters into the slot. One
day last week. during a hull in business, the
box was opened for spring cleaning and there
lay sixteen letters all stamped and waiting
patiently to be- sent accordin, TO their respec-
tive euperscription-. One man had ordered
medicine through the mail for sick baby. In
vain he visited the express Office every night.
the medicine did not come. There Is no doubt
but blasted hopes. wrecked fortunes and all
sorts OF misunderstanding may have been
caused by those sixteen letters. -Bdr Hdrbor
