Levi Hazen OF Hartford was in town
Wednesday and Thursday OF last week,
staying with James ID. Wheeler. Mr.. Ha-
zen has been life-l long student OF geolo.
CIV and his especial object in visiting Beth
ell was TO study the marks OF the glacier
drift in Bethel. Very plain marks OF the
rocks carried by the glacier can be seen on
(. the top OF the hill in the pasture OF MIR.
Wheeler north of his house. The general
course OF the glacier in this vicinity was
southeast-that is, from Burlington to
White River Junction-but MIR. Hazen
found evidences on Christian Hill that the
course was somewhat DETECTED towards
Z, the southwest. The biologists offer as
one OF the most convincing proofs OF this
course Of the glacier the fact that scattered
1 around on top of our hills are found GER
! tain boulders, worn aud marked with the
: friction they have encountered in their
journey from northern New York to this
vicinity. These boulders belong to kind
of stone that is not found native to this
vicinity but is found in large quantity in
northern New York.
The worst exhibition of ball seen on the
: grounds this year was that of Saturday,
: when the White River Junction nine won
/, a game with the Bethels by score OF IL to
= u. The Bethels were never in the game
+ after the first inning, when the functions
scored six runs. Bethel made great rail-
ly in the last of the ninth. punching six
: hits which Melted six runs, but the lead
was too great to overcome. These two
clubs will probably play agaif at Bethel
on July Sd and the White Rivers will not
have the snap they had in this game. Be.
low is the score:
