The many friends OF Ozro ID. and Ellen
NJ. Myrick will be pleased to know that
they have recently received the appoint
ment as keepers OF the toll bridge across
the Connecticut river near Claremont.
We understand the position is desirable
and the pay ample with the use OF good
house and few acres OF splendid land 1.-THE
company also furnishes oil and coal.
Speaking from personal knowledge 0. ID.
was once a first-class worker at any kind
OF job, but his army life has lncapacitat
ed him for anything laborious. His polite
manner and genial disposition will be
sure guarantee of popularity not only
with the travelling public but with the
bridge company. Good luck to you, Or
and we trust your lines have fallen in
pleasant place.
1t might be interesting for some of our
farmers to know that 90 years ago the
population OF Barnard YVES double that OF
today and that in 1860 there was raised
2,279 bu. " heat, 9,046 bu. oats, 413 Du. rye,
20S7 bu. buck heat, 1926 bu. corn and
over so, 900 bushels of potatoes, 5000 tons
of hay and over 900 lbs. of wool. And
for stock there were kept that year 1854
IA ia ahaqO
S46 hogs. Even this was hardly up to
the average of other towns in Windsor
county. Compared with 1899 we should
fall short in stock, produce and popula-
tion as for quantity, but have progressed
in quality. The men know more than
their fathers, the women are handsomer
than their mothers and one horse now is
worth a yard full in old times, with the
end not in sight.
The 80 annual reunion OF the veterans
OF Windsor county took place at Silver
Lake park Aug. 10th. Not since the CEN
tennial has Barnard witnessed such a
crowd OF people. They came from all
points OF the compass until the park was
filled to overlooking with people and
teams. At one time the procession OF
teams reached from the Mrs. Ruth Day
place to the grove, and in the hour follow
ing the bands march TO the park, some
200 carriages are said to have passed the
deed, a grand reunion OF acquaintance
and but for the rain, which came in tor |
rents during the afternoon, the day would /
have been a success. Among the speakers |
were Judge Abbott OF Hsverhill, Mass,
Judge Davis OF New York city and Rev. |
F. ID. Handy OF Woodstock. Sharon band |
furnished music for the occasion.
0ut-of-town visitors at the Bradlaugh |
stables last week were Capt. K. r. En- |
mons, W. II. Hill, Daniel q. Spaulding,L |
Collins and George Osmer of Taftsville |
Capt. Emmons has one OF the finest speci- |
mems of an old-fashioned Morgan to be 1
found in Vermont, with Bradlsugh colt |
by her side, a credit both to its sire and |
dam. They will be exhibited at the state |
fair. Mr.. Osmer breeds he trotting mare, |
