Cullen NJ. Lamson has sold his farm,
known as the Welcome Allen farm, TO >.
T. Davenport of West BrattleborO for $50.
Mr.. Davenport made the purchase through
the agency Of A. V. May without looking
at the property, well knowing that he was
standing on solid rock when he could buy
200 acres of land, and buildings that would
cost $500 to erect, all for $3.50 in such a
good town as Newfane. The farm will
probably be occupied by friend of Mr..
Davenport from Worcester, Mass. Mr..
Lamson will go to Springfield, Mass, to
work in few weeks.

VICINITY GLEANINGS.


Readsboro people were greatly exercised
last week when it was learned that Clarence
Bullock had cut nine gashes in Phineas
Wizards head with a stick of wood. The
two are brothers-in-aw and occupy house
together. Willard had been drinking and
raised the Ire Of Bullock by attempting to
90 into his part of the house. Bullock I'M
fas eled the or and knocked Willard DO wn
with a stick of wood. AS soon as his vic
tim got up he struck him again and again
and finally left him in a heap on the floor
and then went and had Willard arrested for
drunkenness
DR.. Ward was called in to sew up the
wounds on Wizards head and found many
of the gashes reached to the skull AS soon
as the facts became known Bullock was
brought before Justice A. c. Niles charged
with assault, with intent to kill, and was
bound over in 500 bonds which were fur
nished by f. j. Bullock. Willard was I'M
able to appear at the trial and has been con-
fined to the house since his terrible beating
Thursday night. The case against him for
drunkenness did not come to trial, Mr. Will
lard paying the costs and the collection of
a So fine being suspended,

oft reiterated sentence, postponed meet
ings don't amount to much" The delega-
ton from Wardsboro was small. South
Wardsboro was better represented and
West Wardsboro sent a score or more.
The committee having the matt, in charge
had prepared rich program. Rev. Mr.
Bartlett Of the Methodist church told first,
"What is spiritualty?' Rev. A. j. Cam
eron of Jamaica followed, telling "How to
attain it," A. j. Martin gave "Some
fruits of the spirit" A paper, "Christ

and under the head of temperance, Miss
Amy Perry presented paper on "What
can women do?' The question box was
placed in charge of Rev. James hobbs of
Jamaica, who gave brief and satisfactory
answers to the questions presented. A
conservation service closed the program
during which w. II. Symonds of Somer-

a S2s, 900 Gift TO u. L. Moody for a Mt.
HermOn Chapel.

Before Evangelist Moody went home TO
Mortified to celebrate his sixtieth birthday
anniversary Friday with his family and
intimate friends, Rev. F. b. Meyer of
London and II. NJ. Moore called up
on him at Hotel Bellevue in Boston
and informed him that about SIS. 600
had been collected for him for a chapel at
NJ. Hermon. Mr.. Meyer brought with
him from London Sl3, 600 that was contrib
uted on the other side of the Atlantic by
admirers of Mr.. Moody, and the remaining
$l5, 900 was in the hands Of Mr.. Moore,
who has been appointed as trustee of the
money collected here. II will be sent to
Coatsville, Pa, to be added TO what has
been collected at other places. One condi-
ton upon which Mr. Moody is to accept the
gift is that he sets up tablet on the inside
OF the church, which will be built next sum
mer, expressing the gratitude of the donors
for the evangelist's work. 1t was suggest
ed that the gift be presented to Mr.. Moody in
public, but Mr.. Moody objected. At the
morning meeting in fremont Temple at
Boston Friday, at the suggestion of the
English evangelist, who conducted the ser
vice, the whole audience rose as a mark of
respect for Mr.. Moody, and II. NJ. Mo jre
was requested to send to him despatch.

Editor Of The PhGnir: Dear Sir:
In the items Of news from the town of Chester

jury, being composed of men Of honor and integ
rlty absolutely refused to sign as there was no
proof whatever that his death was from this
cause, They each aud all of them did sign a re-
port ascribing he death to heart disease and pos
sibly to an overdose Of laudanum IL was known
to his friends and physician hat he was a suf
ferrr from heart trouble and the doctor who per.
formed the autopsy stated before witnesses that
his heart OF liver werr In condition TO caus- in.
slant death The reason that Coroner Clark
ROwell has for making such II report, With no evil
dence whatever, is al the present unknown TO O. e
friends Of the deceased. But doubtless time
which brings many things 10 light, will rev cal
that which is at present. hidden. His unwarrant.
ed interference with things concerning only the
friends of the deceased is in itself a matter of
strong criticism
Mr.. Campbell's many friends, who knew him
BEET, cannot let such a calumny pass unnoticed
and although our brother, being human, perhaps
was not always perfect yet one cannot forget BIZ.

his kindness OF heart IN time OF trouble mis- faith

of persons engaged in it is AZ, go, and the
total value Of farm products is about $13,-
100000 annually, The report says that a

of adopting some means of state aid for
rural schools and highways, and the board
refers to systems adopted in neighboring
states as possible guides in this important
matter.
