A case of unrequited love tempted one
Brattleboro youth to end his mundane ex-
istence this week. Bert Clark, aged Fl,
son of II. L. Clark of Esteyville and an
employee at W. II. Fletcher's mill, sought
the seductive pleasures of the merry-go-
round on the island in company with his
inamOrita. But the heart of the maiden
went out to another youth, as the hearts of
maidens unaccOuntably win, and Clark
was lonely and wretched. Instead of
drowning his sorrows in the flowing bowl
at the bowling alley, as would have natur-
ally been expected, since he was on the
New Hampshire side of the river, he went
TO his home and drank one ounce of iodine.
There was "hurrying in hot haste after 1t
was learned what he had done, but there
was no need of a physician, as Clark's
stomach elected the dose.
A pleasant event occurred on Tuesday
afternoon, when some 20members of the
ladies society of the Baptist church at
Putney, the Good Samaritans, visited Mrs.
l.. p. II. Knight at her home on High
street. The party was increased to "a by
the presence of ladies formerly of Putney,
now living in Brattleboro, and the after
noon was very delightfully."- spent. Re
freshments were brought by the visitors
and supper was served before their return.
The newly settled pastor of the Putney
church, Rev. j. d. Skinner, was with the
party, and in behalf of the ladies he pre-
sented to Mrs. Knight a handsome silver
cake basket, as a mark of their esteem,
and in appreciation of her services TO the
church and society, in both of which she
was for several years an officer and an ae-
tive and influential member.
