1thiel Lawrence.

The death of Ithiel Lawrence demands
more than passing notice. Mr.. Lawrence
was born in Castine, Me-, April %, 1912, and
lived in that town until the opening Of the
rebellion. He represented his town in the
legislature in the winter of 1S6l-62, and after
that accepted a position in the war depart
ment under Edwin M. Stanton. Three years
ter he gave up his position there to enter
one more active and congenial, that of stew
ard and manager of the Mt. Holyoke semna-
ry at South Hadley, Mass, a place he held 20
years, resigning when he was 70 years old.
When he finished work there he moved to
Hartford, VT, where he resided, until he
came to Bellows Falls some months since to
live with his son. Politically, Mr.. Lawrence
was a staunch Republican. He was convert
ed and joined the Congregational church
when 40 years of age. His neighbors said Of
him then: "You may convert Mr.. Lawrence
as many times rs you please. but you can't
make him any better" From that time he
was a faithful member of the church and
always attended its services and assisted in
any way in his power to build up its work.
He leaves wife, two sons and a daughter to
mourn his loss and cherish the memory Of a
long, useful and unselfish life. Truly it may
be said of him: 'His works do follow him."
He was Christian gentleman of the old
school and one who has made the world
better by his having lived in it. The funeral
was at the house last Friday, Rev. Ellsworth
Fullerton officiating. The body WAS taken to
Northampton for burial.

solid silver cup which will he presented to
the school scoring the most points in the con-
tests, medal of bronze will be awarded to
anyone breaking former record of the as
sociation. Since the records made at Spring.
field last year and the year before are ex-
ceptionally good, the coming contest will be
looked forward to with much interest. now
that the additional inducement of medal is
made for reeord-breaking. May the people

TOWN CAUCUS.
Officers Nominated Tuesday Evening as
Required by the New Law.

Officers Nominated Tuesday Evening as
Required by the New Law.
Pursuant to call, the voters met at the
Town hall Tuesday evening to nominate
town officers for the coming year. Little eff
fort was made to get out full ballot in this
part of the town, partly because the import
ance of this caucus was overlooked and
partly for other causes. Voters from the
west and north parts of the town were out in
force, and while they distributed the offices
about town geographically equal they ignored
the fact that Bellows Falls has three-fourths
the tax-paying strength of the town and is
entitled to more than an equal representation
on the board of officers. The chief change
was in giving this village only one seectman
and he at the end of the list, while heretofore
the village has always had two. But it mat
tiers little since the highway system under
the new charter went into effect. The other
officers remain practically the same with the
exception that Thomas Il. O'Brien takes the
place of j. G. Clair on the board of library
trustees. Following is the list of nominss

Aurora BOIealis,

Last Saturday evening, about O'Clock
display of aurora borealis began which has
had no equal in recent years. The first
noticed was Il deep red glow In the north
western sky. This glow extended upward
toward the zenith and gradually spread itself
along the northern horizon until the entire
northern heavens were covered with warm
red glare which was reflected back from the
snow, making scene of surprising beauty.
After time brilliant pencils of yellow and
white light began to stream up from tho
horizon and the glistening rays darted up
toward the zenith like flashes Of lightning.
These were accompanied bya wave like
motion from west to east which had much
the appearance of bright tongues of flame
running along the clouds. For an hour the
display lasted and when it was at its best the
full moon rose, and even her silvery rays
were paled in comparison with this brilliant
spectacle. About 8 O'Clock the light began to
fade and shaded through all the grades Of
red, finally dying away to a pale yellow aud
heavy black bank Of clouds came up in the
northwest where the brightest glow had
been.
1t is interesting to note that similar dis
plays have been observed February 10, 1915,
1921, 1922, 1865 and 1867, and Saturday was
February ID, thus putting 1892 into the same
list. Elderly people tell of a similar display
in 1885 and some have located one In the
fifties. 1t certainly was the great spectacle
of this year.. So strong was the electricity
in the air that the telegraph between New
York and Albany was operated without bat
teries and similar electrical disturbances
were noted in other parts of the country. 1t
was visible from Iowa to the Atlantic ocean.

TOWN FINANCES.

Kockingham's Report is Issued and Is very
Satisfactory to voters.
The town officers elected last year have
proved by the results of their work that a
substantial reduction of our town debt is pos
sible without specially taxing our people.
The finances of the town are in good condi-
ton and the $500 reduction in debt is the
most gratifying part of it, while the amount
left in the treasury is another evidence of the
economy of the old board Of officers. Below
is given an abstract of the figures Of the re-
port as complied by the town officers: Paid
out for current expenses, $780,. %; liabili-
ties, $71, 95O.43; assets, $40, 207.66; reduction
of debt. $1,000 in notes, $1,000 in bonds;

George Willard is showing the mounted
head of a two headed calf Both heads were
perfect and the calf would eat with both
mouths. The junction of the two necks was
four or five inches below the lower jaw. The
animal lived to be eight weeks old and was
killed by getting accidentally hung. The
color was white. The body was ordinary
size and perfectly formed. A large num-
Der have looked at the curiosity.

paired to Union hall to dance to the music Of
HuntoOn's orchestra. 1t was a representa-
tive gathering and seldom does one pass an
evening with SO much socialibity and pleas
ure. Other entertainments Of a similar nature
are contemplated and it is safe to assume that
large attendance will accept the opportun-
ity after the enjoyable experience of Tues
day evening.

falling off is general and is not confined to
any particular subject. Number of applica-

A supplementary catalog has been issued
containing list of all the books added since
the first catalog was issued in 1888, number
ing 100 volumes. Total number now in the
library 400 of which 800 have been added the
past year. The curiosity department has re-
ceived copies of several books printed in
Bellows Falls in 1929, 1925 and 1917. The
donors are Thomas Peck Of Walpole and
James III. Head of North Walpole. A sum-
mary Of the work of the library since Sep
TENDER II. 1883, shows that many people have
read from 200 to 800 volumes each, and In
some families as many as 800 have been
drawn. One lady has read 300 volumes in
that time, but better than that are the good
words she speaks of the library and its use
