Der of the school board, were present
Extensive improvements are making on
the old Marsh house, which will be occupied
by Mrs. j. ID. Gushing. @. ID. Gushing will
occupy the house vacated by his mother.
The Marsh house is supposed TO he about
the oldest one in town, but is still in
good condition. 1t was formerly owned and
occupied by Peleg Marsh, son Of Captain
Joel Marsh the original proprietor of the
lot upon which the main
part of Bethel village now stands.
Thursday night, as people were going by
the house occupied by Frank Carroll in
the north end of the village the most
blood-curdling yells and walls were heard
proceeding from the interior of the house.
On investigating, two small children of the
CAROLS, aged five and three respectively,
were found alone half naked, shivering and
half terrified with fear. Two lamps were
burning, but no one could be found in the
house. Carroll and his wife were found at
an entertainment at the town hall. Their
excuse for this condition of affairs was that
they had left the children in the care of one
Goodell and his wife, but the neghbors say
that this is not the first time this thing has
happened.
