EAST DORSET.

The ROCKVILLE property, so called,
lying IN Winhall and Stratton has
just been sold to several gentlemen
of New York and John Flynn of
Burlington, but formerly of this place.
Mr.. Flynn married Nellie, Oldest
daughter of our late Albert Wait.
He was young then and hadn't much
money and wasn't supposed to be an
expert money catcher. But now after
only few years he draws his check
for $40, 900 and It is honored. 1t is
said these new owners purpose to i'm.
prove the property, to build roads tt
Stratton and Bourn ponds and make
the place attractive to sportmen. Il
is an extensive lumber ranch and was
formerly owned and operated by thu
late James A. Shedd of Burlington
and our Robinson Andrus.

Death of a Native of Londonderry.
We are in receipt of the Maryville
(Mo.) Republican, giving an account
of the death of John c. Richardson,
an engineer who was killed on the
Wabash railroad at Warrenton Feb.
LIST. MIR. Richardson was son of
Calvin Richardson, who resided for
a long time on the farm now owned
aud occupied by Thos. Jaquith, and
is now resident of Exline, Iowa,
and will be remembered by many of
our citizens for his quaint originality.
He was born February 10th, 1913,
hence was 40 years old at the time of
his death. He enlisted June 20, 49,
81, in Co. l, I'd Vermont Infantry
and served acceptably for three years.
The Republican says:
Wednesday morning the remains of
Mr.. Richardson were brought to Ma
ryville on the Wabash passenger, &C.
companied by delegation of the
Brotherhood of locomotive engineers
to which Mr.. Richardson belonged,
also by thirteen members of Lincoln
Post G. A. R., of which the deceas-
ed was an honored member. They
were met at the depot here by about
20 members of Sedgwick Post, who
served as escort to the visitors.
S. D. Arnold of St. Louis, an old
townsman and fellow soldier of Mr..
Richardson, came up to pay the last
sad respects of comradeship, as did
also H. P. Richardson of Center
vile, Iowa, brother of the deceased,
both Londonderry Vermont boys.
Mr.. Richardson had been loco.
motive engineer for 20 years, and ii
the employ of the Wabash railroad
since January Is, 1884. The coils
| ion which caused his death, it is said
was from the engineer of the othe
train neglecting orders to side tract
and wait the passage of Mr.. Rich
ardson's train.

Written for the SITTER.
Christ-like Living.

BY C NJ REYNOLDS.
Yield not once, to yield again;
Be unbending, unbent then.
Where the right stands, plant thy feet
Walk where thou the good shalt meet;
Toward some noble end persist;
Stubbornly the wrong resist.
When thine eyes the erring see,
Christ shall thine example be.
With His love and tenderness
Lay thy hand on them to bless,
Win them back from wandering ways
Into paths of peace and praise.
Acts of thine, o sternly guard;
Bravely take the task that's hard;
Purely think; and humbly bow
To fulfil thine earnest VOW
OF allegiance to thy Lord,
And obedience to His word
For thy neighbours ways and deeds
Give the charity he needs;
Echo not his idle word,
Be not by his evil stirred;
Envy not his better state,
If beyond thee good and great.
Not in self but God complete,
Trust in Him to guide thy feet;
Bring thy motives and thine aims,
Test them by His rightful claims;
Lay thy life along by His
In all worthy work that is.
When at last He shall assign
All rewards, rich shall be thine,
Rich in glory like His own,
Shining crown, exalted throne,
Joy in all-eXhaustless store,
Peace enduring evermore.

fact that it was only bad drunk. A

empty jug was found on the premises.
1t transpires that Herb Walker had

and send for gallon to keep off the

successful, for about that time Hert

quired the service of sheriff Melen.

The Bondville Dramatic Entertainment

The Bondville Dramatic Entertainment.
Amateur theatricals are rapidly
coming to the front as means of
furnishing the best entertainments to
be had in country places. This is
demonstrated by the large audiences
that almost invariably witness the
presentation of these dramatic per-
formances. According to previous
announcement the Bondville Dramat-
ic Club, under the auspices of the
Grange at that place, presented, last
Friday and Saturday evenings, that
stirring drama, "Bound by an Oath, "
to large and appreciative audiences.
About thirty of our citizens and some
nine or ten from the North village
went over on Friday evening and
were packed into the hall along with
others like sardines in box. This
and the cold were the only uncomfor-
table features of the occasion. But
our Bondville friends were certainly
not to blame for the cold weather OF
for the numbers that came to see the
play.
The drama was heavy one with
constant change of scenes, and was
really ill adapted to the meager facili-
ties afforded by small temporary
stage, but Notwithstanding this draw
back the presentation was very fine.
All the leading characters were well
sustained. The acting of Rowe Will
liams, as Seth Randolph, was excep-
tlonally good, and Miss Drucilla's
part, represented by Miss Lora Will
liams, was charmingly performed.
while aunt Lucy, Mrs. E. l.. Fuller
Jacob Johnson, George Baldwin
Elias Amsden, who was "Bound by
an OATH" Frank Pier; Sambo
Gyp Burbank were leading charac
tiers well sustained. AS whole {
dramatic talent was exhibited very
creditable to so small community
When next they play may we be there
to see.

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla Overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
