SAXTONS RIVER.

VIII II Campbell, who was on the Sunday
train which had the collision at South Keene
three weeks ago, did not at first suppose he
was much injured and kept on the train
that went to Boston. He was able to at
tend some of his dental lectures during the
first of the week following, but later indi-
cations of a painful nature developed so
that he returned home the last of the week
and has been confined TO the house for the
past two weeks He is now recovering
somewhat. At the time of the collision he
was sitting at a table in the smoker, and
the conclusion threw him against the table
with a great amount of force. His trouble
has been largely with the spine and stom-
ach, but he feels grateful to think his injury
no worse than it is.
Nine students were in attendance during
the last term of the Vermont academy
from the little village of Perkinsvile or its
immediate vicinity. If all the villages and
towns in the state did as well we should
have a rousing big school on the hill.

"A man cannot kill hen in Sphinx coun-
ty, South Dakota, for his sick wife without
violating the law said William Broakans,
a lawyer of Redfeld, 5. D., TO a Chicago
reporter the other day What he meant to
indicate was that 80 per cent of the real
estate in Sphinx county is mortgaged for all
it is worth, and nearly all the chattels are
also mortgaged, and in this case if a farm
er kills one of his chickens, calf in his
barnyard, or anything else he may have on
his farm, he violates the law. 1t is an un-
pleasant outlook.
