ing the many exercises a paper was read by
one of the ladies upon the subject of inn
proved machinery for the farmers wife as
well as for the farmer, and urged that the
husband give some thought to the articles
used by his wife and see that she is well
supplied and that they are in good condi-
ton Various opinions were expressed in
regard to the so-called labor-saving inven-
tions. a variety of laundry forks were
exhibited. showing that such useful articles
could be tastefully made and also better
adapted to the work than an old broom
handle. One of the ladies gave some very
useful hints in regard to the sanitary CON
dition of many farm buildings and their
surroundings. We feel sure that some
times such things need special attention.
The afternoon session was public The
words of greeting were fifty chosen and
aptly illustrated, by hearty handshake,
the friendly feeling of the people. reference

W. Estey, upon sheep husbandry, which
was followed by questions and discussions
AS to the best methods to follow in sheep
raising. Preference was given to the short
limbed animals as they were less inclined to
rove about and climb fences. Rations of
apples were thought to be as good as roots
and oats the best grain to feed 1t was de-
cided that dogs were a great hindrance to
sheep raising, and that the place for dogs
was on their owners premises. Many val
liable suggestions were made in regard to
that branch Of farm work tribute of
respect by a member of Evening Star
grange to II. +. Knapp, master of Wind
ham County grange, was heartily approved
by the members and was feelingly respond
ed to by the master.

Monday evening. The committee on wom-
ans work had charge of the "hour in the
home Music and essays appropriate to
the home life were in order. One of the

not brighten them in any way; also try to
keep their confidence. The farm topic was

THE EVENING SCHOOL SESSIONS


The eXemplifcation of the work of the
public schools by evening sessions held in
the High school room, which was begun on
Wednesday evening, is proving decided
success. On that evening the little ones
from the six primaries had their innings,
and large attendance of fathers and
mothers showed that there is, after all,
general and genuine interest in the work of
the schools. The children from the several
schools were brought together as one school,
and the three classes showed what they had
been taught to do in the rapid use of num-
bers, in learning fractions, in reading both
from studied lessons and from sight, and in
spelling. The several divisions or classes
were taken in hand successfully BY the
different teachers, and drilled in their
various lines of work BY this means il
was shown how, under wise supervision.
the children of all the primaries are kept i'm
line, and move step by step at uniform
pace in the studies taken up, so that the
work accomplished under one teacher is
that which is accomplished by every other
teacher, and the children therefore come
from those schools into the next grade
ready to take up the advanced work as a
unit, The eager and intent faces, the
quick answers given without apparent
N"Oi'' anu tlc eNlueht interest Ielt by the
children in their studies We're a pleasure to
see. The simple method by which the
little ones learn fractions without ever
knowing it makes the older heads of TODAY
wish that such ways had been thought
of 80 or 40 years ago, when that part of the
early arithmetical training was a bugbear
and a terror. Last evening Miss Shermans
class, the fourth grade of the Intermediate,
gave similar eXemplitcation of the work
done by them before an equally interested
audience.

THE QUESTION.
To Fish OF Not to Fish.


There has been good deal of talk with
in week about fishing party which was
to swoop down Oh Marlboro south pond. and
fish there all they pleased, Notwithstanding
that the New England Trout and Salmon
club controls the pond and have stocked it
with fish, and intend to keep it as a pri-
yate preserve. 1t was understood that the
fishing was to begin last Saturday, and it
was currently reported that $50 men, most
ly from Marlboro and the west part of the
town, had agreed to stand by each other
and fish when they pleased, but as yet they
have not visited the pond. The law is that
any pond of more than IS acres is public
property for fishing purposes, but when the
New England Trout and Salmon club was
formed it purchased all the land around
the Marlboro pond. The club is able,
therefore, to arrest for trespass anybody
who crosses the land to get to the pond.
The party proposing to do the fishing last
Saturday had planned to come up the out
let to the pond, carrying a boat, with
which they would reach the fishing grounds.
They claim that in this way they are not
guilty of trespass. 1t has also been said
that the town of Marlboro could lay out a
road to the pond.
An article in the Boston Globe last Fri
day has caused considerable comment from
those who desire to fish in the pond. p.
w. Turner, millionaire silk manufacture
er, bought the land around the old North
pond in the town of Hebron, Conn. The
pond has been famous for fishing since the
country was first settled. Mr.. Turner at
tempted to prevent fishing in the pond but
the town laid out a road through his land
to the edge of the pond, and fishing gener-
ally has been the result. Mr.. Turner APP
pealed to the courts, but a decision has
been rendered against him.

A DAsTARD's WORK.
Several Dogs Die from Poisoning.


Brattleboro has a bastard, who will feel
the heavy arm of the law if he is dscOv-
cred. He began his operations last week
Thursday by poisoning a valuable bulldog
owned by ii. .. Coolidge. The dog was
seized with spasms and died suddenly.
Since then dogs belonging to J. II. Holden,
c. +. Reed, Chas. II. Thompson. Charles
Spring and Mr.. O'Connor have died in a
similar way, and physicians have given it
as their opinion that they were poisoned
with strychnine. \ dog owned by Harry
Kinson and another owned by Col Hol-
brook, but cared for by Frank Weeks, were
poisoned, but antidotes were applied and
they recovered. Some of these dogs were
very valuable, and in every case they were
priced by their owners.
1t is evident that the dogs were poisoned
on Prospect hill, for they all belonged, or
had been in that section just before giving
appearance of being poisoned.
On Monday morning +. ID. Reed and
j. G. Newton, who live on Thomas street.
discovered in corner of the fences east of
Mr.. Newton's premises pieces of pork and
cheese rind which were covered with Paris
green. They think that a pound of the
poison had been used or scattered about
On Tuesday it was noticed that the brush in
the corner where the Paris green was found
had been thrown about during the night
by some person. The place is one which is
frequented by dogs as it is near where they
crawl through the holes in the fence The
owners of the dogs are investigating the case,
and some of them think that they have
clues through which the perpetrator will
be discovered.
Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Thompson have
each offered 500 for the detection of the
offender.
The offence is punishable by five years
Imprisonment, $500 fine, or both.

SUFFERING FOR FOOD.
Stricken Districts of Russia Growing Worse
as Winter Approaches.

Stricken Districts of Russia Growing Worse
as Winter Approaches
ST.. PETERSBURG. Nov. lG.-Reports from
the famine-stricken districts of the empire
continue to show the despair and suffering
scarcity of food. The government is fully
alive to the exigencies of the situation.
and is doing everything in it's power to
help the sufferers. AS has already been
stated, the Car has made very large
donation for the benefit of the sufferers from
his private purse. in addition to turning
over to the famine committee the
sums of money which were pre-
sented 10 him upon the occasion of
his silver wedding. The CzarIna, too. has
given freely. and other members of the i'm
perial family have helped to swell the fund
for the relief of the poor. Large as the sub
scriptions are they are but a drop In the
oceans of money that will be required to
carry the thousands upon thousands of
peasants. small farmers and others through
the long Russian winter.
At present the money, clothing and pro-
visions given TO aid the sufferers are under
the control of different organizations,
which work independent of each other.
The government believes that tho end
sought will be better and more quickly at
tanned. anu with less waste and friction,
If all the work of distribution
this object in view, the government will ap-
point q central committee, of which the
CzarewItch will be the president, to super
wise the entire machinery for the relief of
the famine Sufferers The separate relief
organizations will not be disbaDded nor
curtailed In their operations. but all of them
will be subject to the control of the central
committee.
