 Samuel J. Bissell was attacked Christ
 mas evening, by bull that belonged to George E. Emmons. The bull had strayed away down to Mir Bissell's and pitched at him in the yard while he was
 milking. The bull drove him over the
 fence and around the barn into the
 house. Master Emmons came down in the morning after the animal, and the
 bull ran him up tree. By dexter ous
 management the bull was got home
 without any one getting hurt. The bull has been shot since.

THE RELATIONSHIP MUTUALLY PLEAS
 With this issue of THE BEE closes the second year of our connection with the same as one of the small and insignificant local correspondents. Last year we re- solved our engagement would end with the advent of 1894, but like one in Scrip ture who said he would not and then did the very thing he resolved that he would not. So another year has passed by and 52 times more we have folded our little manuscript and sent it to Brother Smith. Now. we feel tired of making resolutions to be broker. If Brother Smith had not been quite so friendly we could the more easily slip out and not feel so much in- debted to him in obligation. Our rela- tions therefore have been most pleasant, and it is the harder to break, what we hope is true business friendship. We feel inclined therefore to continue the rela- tion little longer till we see more con- venent season to slip out and drop the pencil.

 DEATH OF MRS REBECCA F. BALDWIN.
 Entered into rest, Thursday morning, December 27, Mrs Rebecca s. O'Dell, wife of Dea Stephen s. Baldwin, aged 79 years. Mrs Baldwin was born in New Milford, October 4, 1915. She was the eldest daughter of Nehemiah s. and Polly Morehouse O'Dell and granodaugh- ter of Capt William O'Dell. one of the first settlers of the place. Her birthplace was about one mile west of New Milford village, on the ground now occupied by the New Milford fair ground association. At the age of eight years she left her home and came with her older brother, William, to Washington, where he was engaged in business, and made it her home in the family of her aunt, Mrs Nathaniel Galpin. She returned to New Milford but once to stay any length of time and that was spent with an aunt in caring for her aged grandparents. She united with the Congregational church here in 1882 and April 9, 1884, married Stephen s. Baldwin and removed to his home in Davis Hollow, three miles north of the village, in what is now known as Romford. Two children have been born to them, Mary E., who makes it her home with her parents, and Minerva, who after few short weeks of suffering was called home to the 'sBetter land" Six years ago, feeling the infrmities of age creeping upon them, they left their early home and came to spend their last days near their granddaughter, occupy ing the place known as the Ford Home stead. It was there last April they cele- brated their 60th marriage anniversary. Of & quiet, ,retiriDg disposition, her nearest friends best knew her worth. A sympa- thizing friend, a faithful wife, devoted mother and grandmother, she has lived to see the fourth generation ''rise up and call her blessed.'' Untiring in her labors of love she only laid down the burden of life when the apoplectic stroke came, November 21, and after five long weeks of suffering the call home was welcome release. Besides the breaved husband, daughter and grandchildren, she leaves three brothers, William O'Dell of Wash ingtop, Almon and Gaylord O'Dell of Brookfield. Her only sister, Mrs Amanda Camp ''crossed to the other side'' only few months before.

 ROXBURY.

THE COLD WAVE.

It was foretold by the weather bureau. It has come. We know it. Your cor respondent was thinking what an in- f1uence this Bureau has on commerce. Who can tell how many vessels are saved because of the knowledge it imparts? It does not say positively, but the proba- bilities are so and so. It so approaches unto exactness, that the mariner does not put to sea. He remains in port. It is helpful in every department of life. The earth is enveloped in a vast aerial sea. This sea is invisible, elastic, dense. The height of this sea is unknown. It is estimated at from 50 to 800 miles. This sea or air is warmed by the sun, and also by the Leat radiated from the earth. It is subjected to variations in temperature, from numerous causes, the principal Of which are due to altitude and latitude. It has been ascertained to be about 10 for every 1S3 feet of elevation. Wind is air in motion and surface winds range from the slightest motion to the speed of the hurricane. Our trained obs ervers scattered over the United States with telegraph stations, can not only predict the course of storm or cold wave, but can readily tell the direction of the same when started. There are three storm tracks within the United States are fairly defined, and to which most of the storms copfine themselves. The same laws which govern storms, control cyclones also. These three storm tracks called the Atlantic coast, the Mississippi valley and the Pacific coast, originate as follows. The first is the gulf of Mexico or Caribian sea, the second in the north west part of the valley. The third, the storms of the Pacific coast, commonly travel in a southeasterly direction, reaching no farther west than the crest of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada moun- tains. There are storm cards arranged for the Northern and Southern Hemi- spheres, locating the center of storm area of low barometer. These are circu- lar with the points of the compass, and the master of 6 ship is able not only to avoid a cyclone, but also to steer his way out of storm if he should be over taken by one. The law is invariable. Facing the wind, the center of the storm is on the right hand in the Northern Hemisphere, and on the left in the Southern. 50 much, then, for the cold wave. The knowledge of the fact does not make the temperature lower, but it warns us to be prepared for it. Our thermometer gave us degrees above the cipher, Friday morning. degrees below it Saturday morning. with pierc- ing wind in addition. We owe this know ledge to science. Commerce has rapid y developed within the present century, and new fields of industry have been discovered.

KISSING MOTHER.

A father talking to his careless
daughter said: 81 want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be
that you noticed a careworn look
upon her face. Of course it has
not been brought there by any act
of yours, still it is your duty to
chase it away. l want you to get
up tomorrow mornining and get
breakfast. When your mother
comes and begins to express her
surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her
dear face.
Besides, you owe her kiss or
two. Away back, when you were
a little girl, she kissed you when
no one else was tempted by your
fever-tainted breath and swollen
face. You were not as attractive
then as you are now. Through
years of childish sunshine and
shadows she was always ready to
cure, by the magic of a mothers
kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands
whenever they were injured in
