 Guy Taylor, 28, of Brattleboro, brake man on special freight train, No. 1858, was struck by the covered bridge below West Willington about g o'clock this morning. The force of the blow rendered him unconscious and he fell on the car. A little later the train went round a curve and he rolled off and fell to the ground. His scull was fractured and he died within forty-five minutes. Dr. New ton was called, but was unable to do anything for him. Taylor was married at BrattleborO about one month ago.
 The army worms, which are doing so much damage wherever they appear, have reached Stafford. A resident of Grant avenue found two, and they have been found at Rockwell's place in larger quan- titles. At ROckwell's the worms had commenced work on piece of oats, and to save the field MT. Rockwell was obliged to cut the oats. Evidence of their work was first noticed Monday, and they had already done considerable damage. It is hoped that these pests will not increase in numbers in town, as they work devas- tation on all vegetation in their line of march.
 Mrs. Sarah Lord, widow of the late John K. Lord, died on Monday last at 1. 30 p. m., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. c.

Mrs. Lord was born in the western part of the town, May 10, 1911, and was one of seven children of Apollis and Myra Clark Spellman. They were Abagail wife of Alonson Bugbey Sarah $. Clark, William F., Horatio, Augustus and Jaspar, but one of whom, Augustus, survives her. She leaves two sons, James M., of this borough, and Louis Kossuth, of Parker, s. D., and two daughters, Myra O., widow of the late Julius Converse, and Jane A., wife of H. c. Mclaughlin. The funeral was attended from her late residence on West Main street, Rev. MT. Bartholomew of the M. E. church, officiating. The inter- ment was at the Stafford Springs ceme- tery.
 A report was current Monday that an- other dead baby had been found on lot near the home of M. P. J. Walker on the upper road to Stafford. The finding of the body of the baby in the sack by the party of young men a short time ago is still
  second discovery caused considerable comment. Officer Helm and Medical Ex- aminer Newton were both notified, and a report was sent to the Springfield RepHb- lican. The man who found the body was walking Sunday afternoon, and had his attention attracted by something done up in cloth and partially buried. He exam ined more carefully, and saw what he thought was child's arm and hand ex- tending from the covering. The next day he reported his discovery. Guided by the man, who confidently expected a reward of $5 for reporting the find, Dr. Newton went to the spot Tuesday afternoon to make an examination. As they stood by the side of that half-made grave it was a solemn moment. Before them was an- other proof of human depravity. In that calm spot, with all the benign influences of peaceful nature, there was the iarring thought that the place had recently been visited by some guilty person seeking to conceal the evidence of dastardly crime. The way the body was inferred suggested the fact that it was done hurriedlv and in the night. No doubt the person who dug the shallow grave, oppressed by the thought of possible discovery, left the ghastly task as soon as possible. Rever- ently the covering was removed and a large-sized cat exposed to view. One leg had previously become exposed, and it was this that led the discoverer to think it was child. Up to the time of going to press the man had not received a re- ward for reporting the case.
