Alfred $. Hail. Esq, of Winchester

Miss Jennie Ormsby has been i'll in Bur
lington, but has recovered sufficiently to
come home. Miss Florence is on visit to

A good many persons have been to
Rocky Hill for blueberres, some with fair
success but in most cases with Indifferent.
There have been very few blueberries
Swamp berries have been abundant where
ever there are bushes, but the quantity on
the hill is limited and the pickers have
been so many that scarce any one could
get more than few quarts.
\ very good crop of hay has been Sc
cured in excellent condition: barley and
oats are now being cut, with a good yield
in general, but probably not quite equal to
the crop of last yaar. The dry weather
has damaged early potatoes seriously, and
if it continues will cut short the late on
dry ground especially. The prospect for a
second crop of hay is poor. Corn looks
well except on ground too wet in June and
on dry land now. Showers have been
slight here and some fields are rolling bad
ly. The apple harvest promises to be
abundant in this vicinity. BY the way,
how happened it that there was such a cry
last year about the very poor prospect for
winter fruit, when the fact was there prob
ably was never such abundance before?
Did the Springfield Homestead try to work
up boom for the producer, or couldn't
its reporters "see straight" when they re-
ported not over one quarter of a crop? At
any rate producers were wofully deceived
and, instead of realizing the prices of 1891
as they expected, were obliged nearly to
give away the best of fruit. 1t is much
better not to expect, than to come down
from high expectations to nothing. Ac-
cordingly it is to be hoped that all report
ers from apple orchards will take their OBJ
servations early in the morning when they
can see somewhere near quarter of the
apples there are. For one, your correspond
ent can see plenty of them now.

northampton Herald: The Brattlebo-
ros have a provoking way of pulling out
of very small hole, of putting in hits
when needed, of playing ball from start to
finish, whether in the lead or not and
that's the reason they win. When the
Northampton team can get over being
frightened at the mere suggestion of the
name Brattleboro, when the manager ar
rives at the conclusion that the Northamp-
ton club, as at present constituted cannot
successfully cope with the Nermonters,
then, perhaps, the Northamptons may

The management of the Northamptons
is nothing if not amusing. On Monday
night Pitcher Ryan was released, on Tues
day the team came to Brattleboro, and
Pitchers Bannon and Woodcock were
placed in the outtield and young Gabb of
the Thorndikes in the box. Gabb did
well for boy. but II hits with a total of
u and seven earned runs show very con-
clusively that he was out of his class.
Pond of the Burlingtons who is the
equal of any college pitcher in the country,
was in the box for the home team, and did
yoeman's service. He was hit safely only
twice, with the exception of the sixth inning
when Slater batted for two bases, Smith for
a home run and Woodcock for a single

of the drives were terrific. one was a
sky scraper over the left centre field fence,
another'against the fence in the same quar-
ter. and the longest drive of all to the eX-
IRENE left field corner. With good base
running he would have secured two home

The story of the game which was played
at Claremont Saturday is metaphorically
that of another picture turned to the wall,
or i'm the language of the bleachers "anoth-
err phenom. busted Rudderham, late Of
the Lowels, was the pitcher, and he was
pounded for six earned runs, a total of 80
bases being made. Garry, Hickey and
Keay were foremost in the slaughter, the
three players getting 10 hits with total Of
%.
Hunter was the only man who touched
up Garry's curves to any extent, the work
of the Bratteboro pitcher being splendid
throughout. No Claremont player reached
third. Once with a man on second and
one out Garry struck out the next two men.
The Brattleboro outlielders had nothing to
do. The star plays were a running catch
back of third base by Collopy when a base
runner was on second, the three double
plays, and Chatfeld's running catch in
centre feld-a drive from Fitzmaurice' 5
bat, which ordinarily would have been a
clean home run.

The New Town Hall Building Struck
by Lightning and Badly Damaged.

The New Town Hall Building Struck
by Lightning and Badly Damaged.
The people of this village were startled
and thrown into a state of unusual excite
ment last evening by a stroke of lightning
which descended upon the tower of the
new town hall and went down through the
building, doing large amount of damage.
The shower began at about 4 oclock in the
afternoon, with distant thunder. At 9
O'Clock a slight rain began to fall. There
was very little thunder and no appearance
either of heavy shower or of damage
from lightning, when suddenly, about $3.50,
the bolt fell, startling the whole neighbor-
hood, and especially the KellOggs, Bonds
and others living nearest the town hall
building. Remembering the fate of the
old church and town hall standing on the
same spot, which was struck by lightning,
set on fire and entirely consumed on the
9th of June, 1888, there was a general
rush for the hall, fearing that it, also,
might be on fire. But fortunately no fire
followed the lightning stroke. EXamina-
tion, so far as one could be made, showed
that the lightning had run down the roof,
breaking slate, SCATTERING the woodwork
and completely tearing out the roof at the
southeast corner. From there the fluid APP
peared to have gone down and around the
base boards to the chimney on the west
side, where it entered the ground. One
window was completely torn out in the
shattered corner in the upper hall, and in
the window opposite only two panes of
glass are left out of II. The extent of
the damage cannot be known until the re-
pairs are made, but will probably reach
