After a week of yer, r,quent snow
squalls we have expert need another
severely cold spell. Thermometers
ranged from twpnty-fuur to thirty
below Monday morning, remaining
at ten or twelve below right through
the middle of the day, aud dipping
deep again Monday night and Tues
day morning.
There seems to he some element OF
uncertainty rs regards the estate OF
the late Z n HadlOck of Morristown
Corners. He owned, or his late wife
owned qaitp comfortable home
there. and it is thought likely that he
may have had something like three
thousand dollars, though just where
it is, or how much, is not known.
Two or three Interested parties,
who sent a portion of the supposed
diseased lungs Of one OF the COWS
killed at the Dodge farm, to DR.. Fred
Page, who is in Philadelphia taking
POSTGRADUATE cOurs", have received
the results ot the examination. The
diseased part was turned over to
one Of the best HnthOrIt es in the
medical science in Philadelphia, with
out any accompanying information
as to what it was. The professor
promptly declared it TO be bad case
of bovine tuberculosis.
The condition OF Mrs. George
Goodell being 50 serious as to her
mental arrangement, steps were TAX
en- last Thursday toward her COM
mitmpnt to the State asylum. A
hearing was held at the Probate
Court in HYDE Park, the eXamina-
ton mace by Doctors Hall and Ru-
blee, the . ,p- airy examination OF
witnesses secured. and the IOrmaIity
of thu law complied with, and on Fri
day the afflicted woman was taken
to the asylum at Waterbury, ac-
companied by Mr.. Goodrll and &. b.
Town.
The making Of another philosoph-
zeal humorjsr is evidently bound up
in that mjschipyOus little two and a
half yparoId rpsdpntof this cOmmun-
ity, who. unseen bv the maternal eye,
pulled down his hosiery and with a
bottle Of his mothers shoe dressing
in hand proc eded to give his infan-
tile legs "A beautiful polish in black,

such a depravea talent for home dee

room. closed the door, sat himself
down on the floor, and with great
fervor sang -" Come wash me, and
shall be winter than snow"
The Cemetery Commissioners who
have been in charge of Pleasant View
cemetery. have conducted matters sc
far with a success that should be-
very satisfactory TO the town, and
pleasing TO themselves. They met
with some opposition at first, but
have had in MUD what might be
done to open up and beautify this
new burial place, and have gone thus
- without asking any appropria-
tons. The individual members have
advanced money from their own
pockets and have been slowly REIN
bursed by the sale Of lots and are
entirely out of debt. A fine start has
been made toward laying out anC
developing the grounds, fencing, set
ting tees, etc. A substantial re
cieving vault has been constructed
and the next thing to be accom-
plished is the conducting of village
water to the elevation, the construc
ton of more substantial drives anC
walks and, not the least, the erection
of Il soldiers monument in the circle
on the crest OF be hill.
