North Adams hospital.
Albert Wiley of Readsboro had the
misfortune to lose three of his COWS
last week through a rather peculiar
accident. Mr.. Wiley went to his barn
the other morning as usual and found
that part OF his stable floor had given
way and let part of his stock to the
cellar below, where three cows were
found dead. The accident was
thought to be caused by the action
of the frost coming out of the ground

the sleepers to drop.

Old Church in virginia.

One of the very few old churches
still standing and practically un-
changed is st. Luke's, at Smithville,
Isle of Wight County, Va. 1t was
built in 1852, as attested by the date
on some of the bricks, under the su-
perintendence of Joseph Bridger,
whose descendants still live in the
county and worship in the church.
The records of the family, which are
unbroken for period of 100 years, es.
tablish the date of the building of the
church, and are full of interesting de.
tails of early colonial history.
It appears that st. Luke's was or
iginally so well built and of such ex-
cellent material that no repairs were
made to it until 1877, 105 years after
its completion. At that time il was
ordered "that Peter Woodward do the
shingling of the church with good cy-
pres shingles of good substance, ard
well nailed. for 700 pounds of tobacco,
300 pounds being now levied" 1t

the employer to the bread winner of
the family is made the day before
Christmas, and often times the extent
of that gift determines the scope of the
Christmas shopping for the family.

many will get their weeks pay on
