Douglas.

Rev. J, V. Campeau, pastor of St,
Anthony's Church in West Boylston,
leaves the parish on the 10th, to take
charge of the church in East Douglas.
The announcement, which was made to
his congregation on Sunday, caused
much sorrow, for FIR. Campeau has en-
deared himself to his people during the
nine years of his pastorate. The parish
is large and scattered, and includes 1900
members. 1t embraces Oakdale as well
as West Boylston, and there Is a mis-
sion at Sawyers Mills. Two years after
FIR. Campeau came the church was
burned down, but he lost no time in
raising funds to erect another, and he
recently bought land for the erection OF
another church. Rev. FIR. Powers, the
curate of st. Anthony's, has also been
transferred, and West Boylston people
are wondering who they are to have in
the place of the two clergymen.

JEFFERSON.
srAID ALL NIGHT,
Worcester Party Showed in at Mt.
Pleasant House.


A sleigh party, composed of about SO
couples from South Worcester, were at
the Mt. Pleasant House Monday night,
and passed pleasant evening, unmind-
full of the storm that was going on out
side. When it came time to return
home. it was quite different story. The
driver decided to wait until morning to
start for home, and about o'clock
Tuesday morning the barges were made
ready and started, but not over quar-
ter of mile had been covered when the
party came to grief. A lead horse
of one of the barges got stuck in snow
drift, and in trying to extrjcate itself,
broke some parts of the harness. Sew
eral men got out and repaired the dam
age to the harness, and also heat path
ahead of the horses, and in this manner
managed to get through the heavy
drifts. 1t took over one hour to make
a little over a mile, but after that, with
the aid of shovels and several men, the
way was made easier for the horses, but
the party will long remember the hard
ships of the ride,
A PERILOUS POSITION
Monday night, about 10 O'Clock, as
Frank Mongean was about to retire for
the night, he heard some one cry as if
in distress, but paid no attention at first,
thinking the noise was made by the
storm without, but soon the cries were
repeated. This time Mr.. Mongean went
to the window, and in looking out, saw
a large, black object near the main road.
1t was but a few moments work to put
on his clothes, and when he got to the
spot, he found traveller lying under a
sleigh The horse had got off the main
road and had lost his footing near the
gutter, and had rolled into it, tipping
the heavy sleigh on top of the traveller.
The assistance came none too soon, for
the man was very much exhausted. Mr..
Mongean righted the sleigh and helped
the man to his feet, also lent hand to
extricate the horse from his dangerous
position, The traveller resumed his
journey.

Leg Amputated,

Mr.. E. D. Smith, who lives near
Watertown, O., had the misfortune
about six weeks ago to fall from a
straw stack and break his left leg
near the ankle.
Mr.. Smiths case seemed to progress
all right until one day as he was NOV
ing about the leg was struck accident
ally, and was broken again. From
this hurt there developed unhealthy
tissue, and the condition of the limb
became such that amputation was con-
sidered necessary to save the mans
life DR.. B. F. Hart was called, and
went out to see the man Sunday. He
deemed amputation to be advisable,
and the limb was taken off about a
third above the knee. 1t is a critical
case and it is hopeI that Mr.. Smith
may recover.
