HS the highway Vt passage from Pleas
ant street by the cemetery to what is
called the Brown place, and the matter
was left with the selectmen to investi-
gate and settle.
On motion the selectmen were instruc
ted to investigate all distractions placed
in the highways and to see that such OBJ
structions were removed.
This completed the business before the
voters and the usual motion for adjourn
ment was not lacking.
NOTES.
The meeting-like the wcather-was
lamb-like, with occasional signs of storm,
speedily giving place, however, to sun
shine.
1t was thought that there being no
caucus matters would be somewhat COM
plicated and delayed, but less time was
consumed this year than last, in a great
measure due to The ability and zeal dis
played by the moderator.
Three called for ballot Tor the election
of town clerk; IS votes were cast, OF
which George S. Robinson had 76. This
is the twenty-second year that he has
been elected to that important office.
The town did the right thing in electing
DR.. ]. H. Linehan as first selectman. The
past two years he has devoted much time
and attention to he best interests of the
town, and the past being thus secure we
have no fears of the future.
| The highest vote cast was for Overseer
of the Poor, 1874, of which S. J. Maroney
received LOG.

There was quite a contest for the posi-
ton of school director, several ballots be

An extra good board of listers was re
quircd this year, it being the year for TIN
quadrennial appraisal, and we could no
have very well improved on the boar'
elected.
Contrary to general expectation onl.
one ballot was required for the majorit.

Shores were alone i'll the mill, each at
tending to their respective duties. Shores
hau loaded two runs of pulp upon the
elevator, and had started it upward
from the basement; instead OF riding up
on the elevator and stopping 1T at the
uppe.. floor he went around by the stair
way as he had often done when a heavy
load was beng carried up. Whether h,
did not go up as quickly as usual Shores
is at loss to say, but upon arriving at
the upper floor HI saw the elevator come
upward not beng checked the machinery
gave way and the elevator fell back to
the basement, crushing the head OF Bixby
who was carelessly sitting beneath, bv
the fire. The elevator fell with such force
that the wheels OF the truck were driven
through the plank floor of the elevator,
necessitating the unloading OF the pulp
before Shores could pull Brxby out from
underneath the elevator. Help was sum
moned and Bixby's body was taken to
the upper floor where it was examined by
the coroner from Lancaster and subse
quently cared for by the undertaken from
GrovetoE. At the inquest he ID i'll the Rich

a verdict of death BY accident through

death of Geo. H. Blake, the senior editor

causes. He had been in poor health for
sometime past. The deceased was almost
