The friends here OF Miss Maud r. Has
kins of Barre, a niece OF K. A. Shattuck
were sorry to learn OF the damage from
fire to her stock OF millinery last week
Her store was reopened Monday and 9
special sale Is ~disposing OF the injured
goods.
At the top OF the hill in the southeastern
part OF the woods of Mari. Castle park
straight up the hill from the large butter
nut tree which stands beside the drive
way and near two large hemlock trees, has
been discovered the life-siZe stone image
of a dog. The animal is lying down Blu
has its head raised as though listening to
some sound OF the forest. The easiest
route to reach IL is by entering the old
wood road on the other side OF the woods.
The figure Is about eight rods from the
wood road where II turns to the left.
Whether this image is the work OF some
Indian sculptor OF ancient times
"Who thought. admitted TO that equal sky,
His faithful dog should bear him company"
and who wished thus to commemorate the
canine friend which was to accompany
him to the happy hunting grounds be-
yond the setting sun, or whether II IS the
question to be discussed between the an
tiquarian and the naturalist.
