Death of Mrs. c. E. HOlbrOOk.

Mrs. Eva F. (Fisher), widow of the late
G. E. Hclbrook, and for many years a
resident of this village, entered into rest
at 5 o'clock Monday morning, having sui

paralysis, from which she regained only
partial consciousness.
Mrs. Holbrook was born in Alstead June
%, 1912, and was married June II, 1861.
After her marriage she lived for time in

adopted daughter, Mrs. W. G. Matthews,
two sisters, Mrs G. NJ F Fisher and Miss
Flora Fisher of Concord, N. H., and three
brothers, A. H. Fisher of Boston, and
Messrs. Henry and Charles Fisher of Wor-
cester, Mass. A large circle Of friends
and acquaintance made during the long
years of her residence here also mourn her

BlOndin Not Found.

Diligent search has been made but nc
satisfactory trace of Ovila Blondin has beer
discovered. 1t will be remembered thai
he left the snath shop of Derby & Ball las
Friday forenoon very unceremoniously and
was last seen running toward Atkinson
street. Searching parties were out in all
directions Friday and Saturday, and Sun
day the Foresters, Of which order Blondin
is member, made thorough search OF the
hill back of the shop, the railroad tracks
and the banks of the river.
Sunday about P. NJ. j. F. Roche was
called to the telephone by parties in Hins-
dale who said that young man answering
the description, who said he had recently
worked in tannery in Boston, applied for
work in the mills there Friday night. Mr..
Roche sent photograph to Hinsda'e Mon
day morning, and Monday night received
the photograph back with the following let
ter "We received the photograph of the
missing young man. The people at the
Bnghtwood mills are pretty positive that 1t
was the same party who called there look
ing for work Friday at 6 S0PM He al
so called at Robertson Bros. in Ashuelot
at 50 on the same day. This is all we
know about him"
The description given over the telephone
Sunday was quite accurate. The height
and weight were correct. The man who
wanted work wore no vest, and peculiar
ity about his eyes was noticed. Blondin's
friends believe that he bad gotten tired OF
bis job and, beng in some ways peculiar
Young man, thought sudden departure
was preferable to a formal leave taking.
They aye hoping to find tie missing man in
Turner's Falls or Holyoke. His brother
Onesime was in Ludlow Sunday and yes
terday but got hold of no clue which
amounted to anything.

a victory tor Brattleboro in the next half.
Again surprise awaited them tor the Sec
ond half was repetition of the fine work
of the first. The home goal was at no
time in danger and the ball was well in
Brattleboro's territory nearly all the time.
Time was called without either sides hav-
irg scored, but it was plain to every one
present who had won the game, and the
Bellows Falls boys were carried off the
field on the shoulders of their friends.
As usual Busby and j. W. Howard did
most of the rushing, but the work of Mar
tin at guard was especially noticeable.
The whole team deserves the highest praise
for its work; it is certainly the fastest team
the high school ever bad. This is the
fourth time it has proved that weight is not
necessarily what wins in football. An
nouncements of the next game will be
made later. The following was the line

A Tie Game.

The football game on Saturday was in
many ways surprise to all those
concerned, most OF all perhaps to the big
fellows who came here from Brattleboro
fully intending tc 60 home victorious.
The play began at P. NJ, and for the
first three minutes it looked as though the
visitors would have things all their own
way; but soon the home team. rem .mber-
ing that it bad not been scored on this year
and did not intend to be, made stand and
took the ball ard the game into its own
hands for time. After the first five min
utes of play nearly all of the first half
was played in Brattleboro territory and
time was called with the ball in Bellows
Falls hands inside the visitors 10 yard
line. The intermission was passed by the
spectators in exclaiming over the wonder

and Everybody More Than Busy
. Two Months Work may be Crowd
ed into Three Weeks.

Montpelier, Monday Noon.
Bellows Falls TINES:
The question is beginning to be earn
estly discussed among the members and
officials whether it is possible to properly
transact all the business now on hand and
IN sight aud adjourn sine die before Thanks
giving. Of course there is profound be-
lief in the minds of the great public that
the legislature wants to use all the time it
can in dawdling and killing time but | can
not find solitary instance OF such a desire
among the members themselves. On the
contrary they have more or less important
business at home which requires their at
tention and they will get the business off
their hands and home as soon as possible.
But those on the ground must be permitted
TO Judge of the necessities OF the case.
There is vast amount of work on hand
and tomorrow being the last day .or the
introduction of bills, except through com
mittees or by unanimous consent,a blizzard
of bills is certain between now and tomor-
row night many of them will be very i'm
portanf ones. For instance, one has been
carefully drafted and i. now due, reorgan-
ling the state militia 1t is proposed to
have two regiments of probably eight com
panies each, and is. OF course, bill of
much particularly and detail.
Then, as matter of fact, substantially
all the more important bills have not yet
been reported. The various committees
are now laboring with them and with all
they have on hand will be showed under by
the avalanche before tomorrow night.
