The brick schoolhouse in John Austin's
district in East Putney was broken into
during the night late last week and several
writing tablets, pencils and other material
were stolen. Thus far no school books
have been missed, however. The teachers
Bible was found covered in the ashes in the
stove, although the object of the thieves
in putting it there is not apparent. The
thieves effected an entrance to the school
house by removing the putty from pane

raising the window. No clue has been
discovered which will lead to the capture
of the intruders.

q. Stoughton of Dartmouth college, accom-
panied by Roland +. Stevens. will make a

spend several weeks in the Scottish lake
region" Mr. Lacock is well known here,

A. H. Overman of Springfield, Mass,
the bicycle manufacturer, has opened his
summer farm in Westmoreland, n. H.,
and has begun building a stone cottage
there. A carload of lumber to be used in
| its construction has been unloaded at this
| depot this week. Mr.. Overman let loose a
large number of Chinese pheasants at hi:
farm some time ago and but little has beer
seen of them since. They are naturally
very wild, however, and hide when any
one approaches so that it is probable that
they have not left that range of woods
They are very prolific and Mr.. Overman
anticipates some fine sport hunting then
in few years.
A little joke is told in Hartland at tn,
expense of DR.. Deane Richmond of Wind
sor, a brother of Mrs. f. S. Munger of thi;
place. The story is that George Jones Of
Hartland was taken i'll and DR.. Richmond
was summoned by telephone. The doctor
prescribed some powders which were to b,
dissolved in glass of water and taken, a
teaspoonful at time. After the docto
left Mr.. Jones, in his confusion, drank thu
whole tumblerful and then, realizing hi
danger, sent in great haste for near-b.
physician. The physician examined ont
of the remaining powders and decided tina
no particular antidote was needed as i
made but little difference whether the rem
edy was taken in teaspoonful or tumbler
full doses. Not all of DR.. Rchmond's rem
edies will bear trifing with, but ether
are tricks in every trade"
