Among the remarkable families this
town has produced is that of Joseph
Ell. and Comfort Ingall, who raised
boys and girls, all living in 1869, the
youngest being then 48 and the oldest
68 years old. The ten children weigh
ed 1900 pounds, averaging, girls and
boys together, 200 pounds each. The
shortest 6 feet. They were all old
democrats, save one who lost his COM
pass somewhere and strayed into the
camp of the political enemy. The
children all settled within tenn miles
Of the old home, four in Sheffield, four
in Lyndon, one in Sutton and one in
Glover. They were hard workers,
good calculators, home-spun and hon
est, prudent and prosperous. Sixty
years ago the family lived in Lyndon
in the house nearly opposite the old
Academy, now occupied by Frank
Spencer, at which time they were run
ming tannery on the oppisite side of
the road where the j. @. Eaton house
now stands. When the family moved
back to Sheffield, Charles Ingalls, re-
NAMED and built tannery on the
Branch behind the dwelling house
which he ran many years. Charles,
father of the ingalls, Brothers, and
@. L. ("Lang') were the best known
of the family in Lyndon. The father,
Joseph H, was a son Of Joseph N.
ingalls,, Of Halifax, n. S., and was
born in Middlebury, N. H., during the
revolutionary war. He was bound
out till he was 81, worked a year or
two afterwards, then bought horse,
took his little bundle Of clothing and
rode away into the northern wilder
ness to clear him a home. Stopping
at the house of Captain Weeks in
Wheelock, where the Hollow now
stands, he made the acquaintance of
The daug liter Comfort and concluded
to go no further. Buying the land,
known as the Charles
Mathewson farm, he commenced clear
ing. But his mind was more taken up
with Comfort, whom he married in
1900, then sold out and moved into
where he cleared his farm,
raised his family and spent most of
his days, and where he died June IA,
1850, at the age of 76 years. His wife
died Nov. 2, 1S49, aged SO years.

A Goose OF More Than Forty.Ave Years.

Colonel b. b. Jackson, of Siskiyou
County, who is one of the commission
ers to the fair, is anxiously awaiting
the appearance of live goose which
is supposed to be on its way to this
city, aud which, if its identity proves
what every indication points it to be,
will effectually knock the pins from
under all the tales told about goose
not living to great age. History
does not tell us Mt Just what age the
"old gray goose" died of which the
old song treats, but the general i'm
preston seems to be that the fowl in
question seldom attains n greater age
than ten or twelve years. The evil
dence at hand, however, would seem
to indicate that his gooseship, of which
this item treats, is Il hale old fellow of
over forty-fve years. Colonel jack
son gives the following particulars of
the goose's early history: "In lS49
and eight other Oregonians ran across
Kit Carson and General Fremont
with small force of men near the
sink of the Humboldt in Nevada. They
had been rounded up by lot of In
dians, but we beat them off and all
went into camp together on the spot.
Provisions had got pretty low, and
one day Carson proposed to me that
we go out and try for some deer. We
started out together and met with
poor luck, and while separated from
Kit took a shot at fat buck in the
brush, but he got away from me. just
after 1 fred l noticed huttering
sound coming from the direction in
which had aimed, and upon investi-
cation found young goose, which
had been slightly injured, but had be-
come entangled IN the thick under
brush and thus prevented from escap-
ing. At this juncture Carson came up
and proposed that we take rest, at
the same time telling him that l was
going to mark the goose and let it go.
For this purpose l took the tin ting
which always came around the per-
cussion- cap boxes furnished by Uncle
Sam in these days, and marked the
initials OF my name and the date on
the tag in heavy and enduring charac-
ters with file which we carried to re-
pair the locks OF our guns. This tag
was twisted around the goose's leg in
such manner as to prevent its falling
of, and he was released. That was the
last ever heard CT the goose until a
few days ago, when a letter informSd
me that Jim Sturgeon, editor OF the
Homer Index, had the goose in his
possession, alive and well. My infor-
nation states that the tag is intact,
and that the initials are still plainly
visible. San Francisco Call.

nowadays grows her own hair, making
no pretence Of great quantity.
IL is wonderful how small the fash
ionable knot is. Merely large enough
to centre the lines from nape and
forehead, rather below the crown into
a knot bound round with golden
circlet.
This circlet is formed of two or
three gold bound combs, permitting
the waved spaces to be loosened about
the ears or neck, or wherever there
may be defective form to be hidden.
1t rolls loosely off the forehead and
temples and drops half over the ear.
Sometimes il is parted and combed
down over the ears each way, because
great width is the fashion, but not
every face can stand the ''part." This
width accentuates the oval of the face
and hints at intellect and is long way
better than the high, narrow style,
with its brazen display OF the ear and
its suggestion of "rooms to let, unfur-
nished."
In London, outside OF the "smart
set, there is large circle of society,
solid and wealthy, who like real Eng
lish fashions. They wear most excel
lent materials, but are utterly devoid
Of modern style and chic.
The young girls and matrons are
wearing a monstrous thing on the back
OF their heads called "bun," which
is the old fashioned WATERFALL or
chignon IN its fullest proportions, and
in most cases. palpably false.
am told that the "bun" is a a past
fashion and that the "duchesses and
ladies" do not wear it, and do their
hair in the French knot, but still half
the well-dressed people in the street
and the theater are adorned with this
disfguring mass of hair covered with
fine net, and the front hair finely
frizzed and confined over the brow
with an invisible net.
