That pleasure ride to Shelburne last
week was a grand success, but space for
bids giving details; therefore . mere
glance must suffice. We crossed the
Androscoggin River four times on our
way up. First at West Bethel In the
ferry boat, over and back on the wire
bridge In Gilead, just for the novelty OF
IL, and lastly over the iron bridge nj
Shelburp, said TO be nearly 500 feet In
length. These two bridges are both
free, and although not TO be compared
to the Brooklyn bridge, and many others
Of modern date, yet they are nne struct-
ures and well worth looking at. The
White Mountains came Ia view occasion
ally and the several snow drifts
seen on their sides seemed to In
dictate that winter still llngers there
10 the lap Of June. To leave West
Bethel without calling on the famous
puzzle editor, T. X. Briggs, was simply
out Of the question. He IL still engaged
in that kind Of work and probably will
be TO the end Of the chapter.
The drouth Il far reaching and has
already resulted Ia a calamity. A gen.

One week ago last Monday morning
Joseph Cummings went to work on the
road near the City, taking his dinner
with him on account of the distance. On
reaching home about O'Clock p. ~, he
found his sister, Ruth, with whom he
was living. lying on the floor In q help
less condition, having been stricken with
paralysis during the day. 1t was some
time 10 the afternoon that Chas. b.
Brooks stopped there TO water his horse,
and while there she came out and spoke
with him, mentioning the while that she
was feeling poorly. Il seems therefore,
that she WAS stricken down soon after
getting into the house, and 80 suddenly
as TO be unable to reach the bed. She
lived just week from the time she was
found, and although not unconscious,
she never spoke, and took but very little
food during the whole time. The funeral
occurred on the following Wednesday at
Locke's Mills, attended by Rev. Miss
Angel Of Norway. On the first day Of
this month, DeA. s. B. Cummings lost
his wife, leaving him entirely alone |;
and In less than two weeks, Joseph
Cummings lost his sister and housekeep-
er, which leaves him In the same con-
dition. The two men are distsntly re-
lated to each other, both about "a years
old, and live only . mile from each
other.
