John Pinney. the young man who

of the store of Bond Bros, is getting
along as well as could be expected. Be

Rev. Mr.. Hobbs of Fair Haven, who

the past three weeks to see what could
be done in the direction of establishing
local branch of the Morrell liquor cure,
is here now and will remain till he ar
rives at some result. He finds money

Saturday and Sunday were about as
cold days as one often experiences in
this region. A strong north wind that
blew Friday night and Saturday morn
ing drove the cold into houses aud made
trouble with water pipes and heating
apparatus. Since Monday it has been
warmer and bright. Bare places are
becoming quite numerous on the roads
both in and out of the village. The
mercury got down to zero or below on
ID days during February. In Febru-
airy, 1898, it reached that point or was
below it eight days; in 1891 and 1890,
on foul days each year; in 1889, on II
days, the coolest being "A below the
24th IN 1888, on II days-30 below the
10th; in 1887, on eight days, and in
1896, IL days.
I The matter of damages to the Dyer
block by reason of raising the grade of
Main street has been settled, or, at any
rate, is in fair way to be settled. The
village, it will be remembered, appro-
priated $1,000 to pay damages to abut-
ting property by reason of the change of
grade in the street. All the property
holders except the Dyer estate were set
tied with some time ago, the committee
of ten persons designated at the village
meeting to make such settlements eX-
pending Sl3l7 of the $1,000 appropriated.
There was then remaining of the appro-
priatiOn only 1858. The Dyer heirs
wanted $1,000. The committee of
course couldn't pay them that because
they didn't have it. They, however,
voted to pay the SGS3 they had and to
recommend to the village trustees that
they pay out of the village funds
enough more to make the total sum
$1,000 provided the Dyers would accept
that amount as full payment of all their
claim for damages against both the vii
lage and town by reason of the change
of grade. The Dyers have accepted the
and the trustees will un-
comply with the committees
recommendation. The total payments
for damages arising from the raising of
the grade will therefore be, when this |
matter is finally adjusted on these terms,
$4,000 plus the difference between 1858 |
and $1,000, or $23l7.
