n team belonging to John Naylor of
Weybridge was found Sunday morning
in the Star mill sheds by Landlord Sar-
gent. The animals got away from their
owner about a mile from his home Satur-
day night while he stood talking with Il
neighbor in the latter's dooryard.
The college bell was missing from its
accustomed place Tuesday morning, but
was found after little searching down
in the chapel behind the organ. The
supposition is that some of the students
moved it during the night. 1t was re-
placed Tuesday. The college managed
to do business without the bell for one
day.
The logs belonging to the Green Noun
tain Pulp Co., which lay all summer in
the pond above the paper-mil bridge,
were run over the dam there last Friday
and are being hauled out of the stream
at the company's upper mill this week.
The New Haven river is still full of them
and will be until spring unless heavier
rains than have fallen during the sum-
mer come before winter sets in.
Mr.. Calhoun has finished the Job of
putting steam-heating apparatus into the
young women's boarding house of the
college. This building, which was
bought by the college some years ago of
President Twitchel for use as a dwell
ing for the president of the institution.
has lately been christened "Battell Hall"
in honor of the late Joseph Battel of the
class of 1923, who furnished the money
with which the college paid for it.
The passenger station will probably
be occupied within two weeks. The in
terror of it is all finished except some
minor fittings, and the outside is receiv-
ing the final coat of paint. The baggage
house is also nearly completed and is
being painted. Mr.. Hammond, the
highway surveyor, has built sidewalk
along the west side of the main track
from the south end of the station plat
form to the crossing in front of Mr..
CUbb's.
Mrs. Abram Williamson was taken
suddenly i'll while sitting in carriage
in front of the bank on Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Williamson drove up with her but
moment before and went into the
bank. She fell forward upon the wheel,
but the horse did not attempt to run and
she was soon reached and cared for.
Aside from scratches about the face, she
was not much injured by the fall and
was otherwise in her usual health in the
course of a few hours.
The eclipse of the moon on Sunday
night was watched by many local obA
Servers. The orb of night began to
grow dingy at . :35 o'clock and an hour
later the eclipse was total. The totali-
~ continued till :0l, and then the moon
gradually came out of the shadow. 1t
WIS the first event of the sort since 1874
alti the next one will be in 1909. Artist
Jackson took some excellent photo
graphs covering all degrees of the OBJ
scuration except the total.
Mr.. Clinton Smiths mill is now light
ed by electricity with slX lG-candle-pow-
er incandescent lights. Two more will
be added later and the eight will be suf-
ficient. The current is derived from the
dynamo put into the shop several
years ago by Mr.. Philip Battel to
run the motor which has pumped
water from the creek up into the tank IN
his garden. 1t was made by the Giant
Electric Co. of Portland, and it appears
to be as well adapted to lighting rs to
pumping, which latter work it has done
efficiently ever since it was set in opera
ton.
Up to yesterday no more of the ma
chinery for the pumping station of the
water works had arrived, though all the
rest of it is daily expected. The most
that has been accomplished on the Job
during the week has been in the direction
of testing the pipes and hydrants on the
north side of the creek. The steam
Pump "' NV p"hNi was tu lOlI
this purpose, connection being made be-
tween it and the mains through the hy-
drant near the bakery. \ pressure of
30 lbs to the square inch was obtained.
No leaks in the mains appeared, but two
of the hydrants were found to be not
quite right and have been fixed. The re-
mainder of the pipes and hydrants will /
be tested in the same manner; then, when
the pumping machinery is ready to run,
there will be nothing to prevent its going
right along and doing basiness.
