is itself being borne gradually down hill.
On the north side of Columbia avenue are
the immense hills towering up Mcmillan

places is punched into large flakes, con-
tanning tons upon tons, which move clear
from the top to the bottom of the hill.
The slide has almost blocked Columbus

days entirely destroy the street unless

The posts erected within the past few
days have been almost almost entirely
covered by the mass of earth and stone

carrying everything before it. On the

Purdy states that 5000 indictments, stolen
from the district attorneys office, were des-
troyed by fire in the home of Moses Clark

THE GRANGE PICNIC.
n Happy Occasion Tuesday at Geo. w.
Pierce's---the Attractions, Clam Bake
and Literary Exercises.

Pierce's---the Attractions, Clam Bake
and Literary Exercises.
gay and happy company assembled
last Tuesday by invitation at the home of
Geo. w. Pierce, the Retreat farm for
picnic, corn roast and clam bake. The
ample, well-kept grounds made it an ideal
place for such gathering. The morning
was spent in visiting the many interesting
places around there, including the piggery,
neat as good housewives kitchen. Many
admiring remarks about the smaller in
mates were heard, while the larger ones re-
ceived the usual stinted praise as far as
their beauty was concerned. The hennery
proved an attractive place for fanciers of
that kind of fowl, as several varieties were
to be seen, while the beauty of the pigeons
better suited the more artistic eye. The
deer received his share of attention, and
the coming and going of the little ducks
and bantams out and in among the guests
showed that they did not know the hard
ness of the kick of mankind.
The children, land by the way there was
a goodly company of them, and they were
one of the pleasantest sights, too,) were
served first as they were seated on the
piazza. Then came the regular dinner,
and such an one as hungry people enjoy.
CLANS were novelty to many of us who
live among the hills, but proved very APP
petizing. After dinner came music by the
choir, song by Mrs. A. Earle of Des
Moines, Ia, who is a guest of the Good
enoughs, and she also sang a duet with
Miss Jennie Goodenough; a reading by
Mrs. May Edwards; a dialogue by Mrs. w.
F. Mixer and Perley Holmes. Oscar T.
Ware spoke upon the future of the grange.
George c. Wright of Walpole, n, H., a
man known in this community because of
his connection with the dairy exhibit at the
Valley Fair in the past, spoke of the value
of such gatherings. Mr.. Otis of Yonkers,
n. Y, formerly Windham county boy,
who is spending the summer in West Brat
tleboro, was called for and responded in a
humorous way. Col. H. E. Taylor was
asked to tell why he was not a granger and
did so. Mr.. Butolph of Middlebury, the
father of Mrs. Fremont Hamilton, was
called on and responded in words of praise
for our host who had planned and conduct
ed the exercises in such a splendid manner.
C. D. Whitman spoke upon grange work
and its adoption TO the farmer and its
members. The master of Protective grange
was called for and responded in few well
chosen words. A hearty vote of thanks
was extended to Mr. and Mrs. Pierce fol
their successful efforts to entertain theil
numerous friends from far and near. Mu
