structed the small bridge through
which Mr.. Patterson and his load of
twenty-seVen thousand shingles went
last week. They have also made an
inspection of the planking and all
wood work about the iron bridge in
the village. 1t is evident that some
repairs will have to be made there at
no very distant date, both in drive
way and foot path.
On Wednesday evening last, not
iwithstanding the short notice given,
a good sized audience gathered in
town hall to listen to the excellent
lecture on Qualification and Seces-
SION by Prin. Lewis H. Meader of
Providence, R. |. Mr.. Meader, in his
topics for instruction in the summer
school, gave special attention to
United States History, SO he was
we'll equipped to treat his subject in
an intelligent and interesting man
ner. Previous to the introduction of
the lecturer Miss Ila Niles of this
place was introduced and rendered a
very pleasing Evolutionary selection.
She was heartily encored and re-
sponded. The lecturer and Miss
Niles were introduced by Prof. Beebe.
When the Brooklyn side sewer was
put in, a few years since, it was put
down with an outlet to the river
across Mrs. Bugbee's lawn and gar
den, south of the house. The loca-
ton of the sewer in that place does
not provide for Charles Davis new
house, and for Calvin Spiller's house
now having a reconstruction. These
two residents of Brooklyn desire sew
er connection and the village Trustees
are considering how they can best
accomplish the desired end. A SER
ious obstacle by way of huge boul-
ders and continuous lodges of rock
has been encountered heretofore in
that section of the village. The
Trustees have desire to give the best
of corporation privileges to every
body, so far as money will allow.
Those who failed to attend the lee.
ture by Hon. Henry Hourk of Penn
'~sylvania, in town hall last Thurs
day evening, lost a real good thing,
good because of its genuineness, its
practical thought launched with a
sugar coating Of humor, and it's alb
sence of any lecture-Iike tormalities.
Mr.. Houck is the Deputy State Su-
perintendentO of Edncationin PennsyI-
vania, he is filed with German wit,
as we'll as rounded out by a bic heart
and a jOvial good nature. His sur
ject, The Old and the New" had
more directly to do with the con-
trasting Of old and new teachers, old
and new teaching and conditions and
methods, as well as touching the
new and the old other things. Incl
dentalIy he recommended cheerful
ness, helpfulness, a light hearted, joy
full life, turned down the grumblers,
scOldeEs and those who would pur-
posely ridicule others, and paid elo-
quent tribute to country of this
year 1898 and to the home life, the
home refuge and the home happiness
of the American people.
In the matter referred to in our
last ssue concerning an alteration
between Mrs. Joseph Laraway and
Mrs. Joseph Kirby, Mrs. Laraway
feels somewhat aggrieved because of
the statement made that both parties
were put under bonds to keep the
peace. A future inquiry into the
facts of the case shows that the dis
turbance leading up to d court hear
ing, was simply a war of words, that,
while the former complained of the
latter, the justice in the case as well
as the States Attorney concluded
that no one Woman could do all
that loud and vigorous talking
alone, that the evidence indicated
that the dignity of the peace was
quite as much shattered by one as by
the other. So they considered it a
petty neighborhood case, anyhow;
says One to the other guess we will
have to put them both under bonds
to keep the peace" and forthwith
prepared the customary documents,
which in Mrs. Laraway's case were
not fully completed, so strictly speak
ing, all the legal formalities not hav-
ing been met, minus a technical point
or two, Mrs. Laraway was not put
under those dreadful bonds.
