A Former Langdon Pastor.

The Rev John Wood, the Oldest. minis
ter in Fitchburg, Mass, was IS years Of
age last Saturday. He is in good health
and has done considerable hand moving
during the present haying season.
Mr.. Woods father was Col. John w,
Wood OF Astead, N. H., but his title OF
colonel was not won in the war. The
father took part in several important bat
ties of the Revolution. Rev. John Wood
graduated from Kimball Union academy
at Meriden, N. II and then entered Am
herst college, graduating with the class Of
1886, of which eX-Gov. Bullock OF Massa.
cEusetts was member. Afterwards he
entered Hartford theological seminary and
since graduating from there he has beer
pastor over churches in Langdon, N. H.,
Townshend, Vt, and Wolfboro, N. H.,
besides being temporarily in charge al
many other places.

They Got Left.

1t rarely happens that the people Of Sax
tons River get left, but such was the fate
of some 16 from that pretty village yester-
day morning. This party wanted very
much to go to Boston and Nantasket Beach
on the Fitchburg excursion, and SO arose
very early in the morning, hastily swal-
lowed cold breakfasts and boarded the
stage. 1t is reported that this party felt
very happy all the way over, and talked
and chatted OF the lovely time they would
have in the Hub, and at the beautiful re-
sort on the shore OF old ocean. Little did
they think that their happy anticipations
were never to be realized for the moment
they forgot that mixing of the bitter and
the sweet is the inevitable lot of man. The
gay and joyous party crossed the canal
bridge just in time to see the rear end OF
the excursion train go around the bend
and disappear. However, as in the case
of the man who broke his leg and thanked
God it was not his neck, it might have
been worse.

SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE.

Glorious While it Lasts, But the Singing
Season is Limited to Six Weeks.
The nightingale does not sing every
where; yet it is as great mistake to
consider the bird shy as to imagine its
song is chiefly reserved for the night
says writer in the st. James Gazette.
He will sing continually from one of
the oaks bordering the wayside while
the village folks pass and repass. The
village couples may est upon the foot
stile or linger to ten beneath the
very tree upon viii, . the bird is sta
toned. Still the Ill burden of the
melody goes on u checked, without
pause or interrupt IN.
And what a glorious outburst it is!
What a perfect case tide of thrills and
snakes and semi-Guiyers! Suddenly it
is pierced by single note that shivers
in the ear with the sharpness of a file.
Immediately after comes the wonder
Gus waterbubble, to be followed by a
delicious MARBLE long drawn out and
soft as could be breathed from the
richest flute. Another prolonged
thrill, and then a far off sound, that
almost seems to come from another
songster, half mile away, serves to
throw into relief the passionate tremo-
10 issuing from the same tiny throat;
and all the time the wings are quiver-
ing with excitement, and the whole
coppice seems to vibrate. The song
is, indeed, whole orchestra of bird
music, expressive in every shade of
ecstasy. We are 1T times startled
by succession of d. ep, plaintive tones
that thrill like sob. No wonder the
nishtingale's singing season is brief
six weeks only in til s.entire year. Nay,
it is doubtful whet' er any individual
bird sings for so long a period.
The redwing, another fine singer, is
a similar instance of the limited period
of song. Its voiees in this is
period of song. Us voice in this
country is confined to two notes, and
these by no means musical. Yet the
redwing is the nigh ingale of Norway,
to which land he returns for breeding
purposes each succeeding April So

the eggs are Matched he becomes
gradually silent, until of the marvel

BIG BEER AT BRATTLEBORO.

"Ihe Brewery Kaided-A Car Load of Bar.
reIs and Kegs Seized-Some Filled and
Some Empty--Brattleboro determined to
Close Out the Nuisance on the Island.
A dispatch to the Springfield Republican
says:
The campaign which public sentiment in
Brattleboro has said must sooner or later
be directed against the New Hampshire
breweries began in earnest Wednesday
forenoon when complaint issued by the
bailiffs of the village of Brattleboro agains,
the beer saloon of Orlin H. Ellis, which is
located on the island just opposite Brattle-
boro and out of the jurisdiction of Brattle-
boro officers. was acted upon by Sheriff
Tuttle of Keene, solicitor for Cheshire
county, N H., assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Perry of Walpole. The officers went tc
Brattleboro, and with Baihff j. G. Este,
and Lawyer G.. G.. Fits, who acted for the
bailiifs, proceeded to the brewery, which
they found in full blast.
Sheriff futile called upon several pat
rons of the place, whom he found there
to assist in the raid, and the work of seiz
ing the liquor was begun. Goods were
seized as follows: Four barrels of ale, II
half barrels of beer, five quarter barrels o
beer, 1S cases of beer, 80 empty beel
cases, two empty beer barrels, 50 empty
half-barrels, and 20 empty quarter barrels
In accordance with previous arrangement
three-horse and two-horse team from
he Estey organ factory, and DeWolf's ex
press team were on hand, and each team
took two loads of spoils to the corn barr
OF D.. A. Matthews, two miles up the river
1t is estimated that the original consign
ments must have been about carload
The proprietor was away when the raid wa
made. The bailiffs of Brattleboro are de
termlned to abolish the brewery nuisanc,
with which they are confronted, and the,
have the assurances of the New Hampshire,
Ulcers that they will be backed up in thei
efforts.
The beer garden, although Brattle
bcro adjunct to all intents and purposes
is in Cheshire county and under the juris
diction of the laws of New Hampshire in
stead OF those of Vermont. For this reaso
the resort has flourished, being just out Q
the reach of the Brattleboro authorize
and not source of annoyance to any con
siderable degree to New Hampshire people
Being a beer garden where little if an
spirituous liquor has been sold, its pro
prietors have been able to continue tn
business in spite Of such prosecutions an
fines as have been imposed.
The supreme court of New Hampshire
has recently decided, however, that ma
liquors are subject to seizure and torfeitur
when illegally kept for sale, in the sam
manner as spirituons liquors are liabl
thereto, and it is by virtue of this decisio
that the seizure on the Island was made.

Turtles for stones.

Boys who live in certain parts Of
Kansas have pretty hard time of it in
some respects. There are no stones to
.hrow-no stones, either large or small.
But one of our "grown-up girls" tells
how some of her brothers found some
thing to throw, after all. while we
lived on the Republican river, in
Kansas" she says, 'the boys went
down one spring day to the bottoms
and found hundreds of snakes and
turtles. Stones don't grow ON the river
bottoms and the river, which had been
over it's banks for some days past, had
carried away all the sticks. They found
one huge and vicious looking snake,
and, having nothing else to throw at it
gathered up their hands full of turtles
and used them for stones. One snake
.hus killed was dragged to the house,
and it was found to weigh a full six
pounds. Chicago Record.
