Your correspondent has been per
mitted to examine the geneaolgy of the
Lockes, who are descendants of Sir Will
liam Locke of England, knight and
made one by his sovereign, on account
of his bravery in going to Dunkirk and
pulling down the Pope's bull of excom-
mun ication which had been posted as a
curse to the king and kingdom. The
Locke family date back to the days be-
fore the conquest and restoration and
they occupy high rank among the
learned people of the day. John Locke,
the eminent philosopher, being an an
cestor of the Lockes of New England as
was the eminent scholar and president
of Harvard college in our own New
England, in later days. They all were
valiant in the cause of freedom, and
many of them followed closely with
Washington in his dreary and perilous
struggle. These noble deeds of our
heroic ancestors ought to be rewritten
and re-read. They teach us the value of
what is good and patriotic and noble.

The time is drawing near when the
town will have to rebuild or extensively
repair one or more of the three bridges
over Cold river at this place. The two
covered bridges have been built about
80 years, and the question comes up shall
they be replaced by wood, iron or stone.
1t is generally thought that a new iron
bridge should replace the old red bridge.
