MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Anthony DOnneIIey of AthoI Mis.i,

ks
Anthony Donnelley, 10, for % years
resident in Athol, disappeared from that
place on the night of Nov. 1, and his
whereabouts are not known. His hat and
umbrella were found the next day on the
bank of the Mills river, about two miles
from his home, but although it had rained
hard all night, neither of these arti-
Giles were wet. The river has been dragged
and dynamite used, but without discover
ing the body. Searching parties, number
ing several hundred, have been organized
and the woods in the vicinity of the town
thoroughly searched. The missing man
was in excellent health, and the family do
not believe that he committed suicide or
that he wandered away in fit of mental
alteration. When Mr.. Donnelley left
home it is understood that he had quite a
sum of money, and 1t is feared that this
fact becoming known excited the cupidlty
of some one who murdered him to secure
his wealth.

An American geography printed in 1912
contains this interesting information:
California is a wild and almost unknown
land, covered throughout the year by dense
fogs, as damp as they are unhealthful. On
the northern shores live anthropophagi
and in the interior are active volcanoes
and vast plains of shifting snow, which
sometimes shoot up columns to inconceiV-
able heights" The book adds that some
of these statements would seem incredible
were they not so well authenticated by
Trustworthy travellers.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
A Doctors Good Fortune.

BY the death Of near relative in Orange,
Mass, DR.. John r. Butler of Spoffurd
Formerly Chesterfield Factory receives a
legacy of $1,000. 1t is so unusual for a
doctor ever to be remembered in a will that
the fact is worthy of special mention DR..
Butler located in Chesterfield in 1854, and,
except during brief term of service as as
sistant surgeon of the 30h Massachusetts,
regiment in the years 1864 8, has been a
practicing physician there ever since. For
more than 40 years he has ridden over
Chesterfield and Westmoreland bills
through summer heat and winter cold,
night and day, year in and year out, and
never been remiss in his duty. He is an
al-round, self-reiant, resourceful country
doctoT-a type of physicians that is fast
disappearing from New England and Civ.
ing place to a myriad Of brilliant young
specialists whose chief delight it is TO ope-
rate for appendicitis or deflly whip off an
ann or leg antiseptically, with never
thought whether the patient might not
possibly recover without surgical nterfer-
ence in the one case, or the leg or arm
might not be made serviceable member
by painstaking care. There will come a
time in the future when patients are shiv-
ering with dread in the anteroom while the
young surgeons are boiling their instru-
ments and discussing antiseptic dressings
and the dread bacterias. that the former
would give the world to see such kindly,
common sense doctors as the late Dir.
TwitChell of Keene or DR.. Butler of Ches-
terfird step into the operating room, bring
ing with them strength, cheer. and encour-
agement by their very presence.
There is no manner of dOubt that there
are more than $1,000 of outstanding &C
counts upon the doctors old ledgers as
reminder of his 40 years practice, and this
windfall will help to even up the bad debts
and leave the doctor in the possession of
competency, AMI he certainly is to be con-
graduated upon his good fortune. l..
