Mrs j. p. Goodenough has been quite
i'll with bronchial trouble, but is now
improving.
A much-needed improvement is noticed
in the lantern which the selectmen have
had placed in the bridge near the creamery.
The work on Mr.. Weatherhead's and
Mr.. Knowlton's new houses is progressing
rapidly. Mr.. Weatherhead intends to put
up another cottage in the spring.
The horses of the Hinsdale hearse, which
brought the body of Mrs. Stearns here
Sunday, took fright at the trolley car and
started suddenly. The front wheels were
thrown back against the rear pair, so that
the front of the hearse dropped TO the
ground. The driver held to the rens,
however, and quickly stopped the horses.
Mrs. Olive Stearns. whose burial took
place in the cemetery here last Sunday, was
a resident of district No. for more than
40 wears. She was the wife of Emory
Stearns, and lived on the farm now owned
by Walter Sylvester, going there to live
when first married. In 1870 Mr.. and Mrs
Stearns sold the farm, and the following
year moved TO Hinsdale, n. II. 1t is fitting
that the older ones of this neighborhood

memory of one who lived here so long Hel
cheerful happy nature and her deeds Of
neighborly kindness have often been re
ferred to and will long be remembered. A
long life well spent is the verdict of al
who knew Mrs. Stearns.

AN OLD BUNCo GAME.
a BrattIeboro Man Received Letters of
the Same Purport.

The following story from the Rochester,
n. Y, Post Express is almost identical
with one which was told in Brattleboro
two or three years ago: civilian S. Cas-
tleman, leather merchant of this city, has
been in active correspondence for the last
two months with an alleged relative in
Spain who claims that he is the son of Mr..
Oastleman's aunt. He said in his first let
ter that he was arrested by the Spanish
authorities for alleged completely in the
great Panama scandal, while attempting to
escape with his young daughter to Ameri-
ca. He also stated that he had managed
TO get away with 100000 during the crash
which accompanied the Panama exposure
and deposited it in London bank, taking
checks payable to the bearer on sight.
These, he says, he deposited in secret
drawer in his trunk, which was seized
when he was captured by the Spaniards.
He resisted and received a wound which
was slowly killing him. He had won the
friendship Of the chaplain of the prison, by
name Father Fernandez. The Spaniard
about to die wished Castleman to take
charge of his young daughter on account
of their relationship and get the baggage
out of the custody of the government. The
priest wrote later saying that the S panard,
Luis Rodriguez, had died and commissioned
him to take the daughter to the United
States. This would cost money, the priest
said, and placed the amount at $500. He
also enclosed Rodriguez's will, appointing
Casteman guardian of the daughter and
| giving him one fourth of the 100000. Mr..
Castleman has no recollection of hearing
of any marriage of his aunt, whose name
was Anna Castleman, with Spaniard, and
is inclined to think the whole thing a
bunco game as it is known similar things
have occurred before. He is keeping up a
correspondence with the priest through his
lawyer, just to see what the outcome will
be. The last letter received from the al
legged priest said that the daughter wa
very anxious to start for America and is
awaiting the necessary money. A photo
graph of the alleged daughter was received
by Mr.. Castleman.

SPORTING.

The New York Clipper of this week
contains an excellent two-column portrait
of Tom Dowd, and sketch of his career,
which closes as follows: "He is now
looked upon as one of the best Mating out
fielders in the profession, besides being a
very clever base runner"
The official averages of the Eastern
league show that its leading batsman was
Farmer Jones of Springfield, with a
percentage of 800. GarTy's average was
.29S, and Leahy's .314. AS catcher
Leahy was excelled by only Dowse of Buff
falo, Leahy's fielding average being 1851.
