Death of a weII.knowh Physician

The sudden death of AbneF Frank
lin Bliss, NJ D., of Wardsboro, on Tues
day, Aug 10, brought a shock to the
whole community, as he was about, as
usual, less than a week before. He
had been in failing health for several
years, but the immediate cause of his
death was pneumonia. He was born
in Alstead, N. H., July 80, 1929, being
the elder son of Abner Bliss, NJ. D., of
that place. His early life was spent
at Alstead, and later his education was
completed at Meriden, N. H., and the
Castleton, Vermont, Medical college.
He married in 1854 Mary P. Burroughs
of Alstead, and moved to Windham,
where he began his career as a physi-
clan. After leaving Windham, one
year later, he moved to Illinois. Later
he returned to Vermont, settling in
Jamaica for four years, and moving
from the latter place to Wardsboro.
Since that time for the past 35 years,
he has carried on large and success
full practice until the past few years,
when the long rides over hard roads
and the strain of continued practice
brought on i'll health, compelling him
to give up most of his practice.
He stood high in the profession
where his knowledge was valued. DR..
Bliss was a gentleman of the old
school, sound judgment, but few
words. His sterling qualities endear-
ed him to all who knew him, and his
advice was often sought in public and
private matters.
For many years he was superinten-
dent of schools and was a devoted
member of the Methodist church. He
leaves a widow and two children, Mrs.
Walter T. Leith of Greenfield, Mass,
and DR.. Charles S. Bliss, a successful
physician in Lu Verne, la. Two chill
dren, Abner Franklin and Caroline
Ann, are dead.

A Bad Accident.


George Whipple's team, containing
his wife, daughter, cousin, and the
latters daughter, met with bad acct
dent last Friday when passing Amos
Pixies sugar house on the No. 8 road.
The horse became manageable, and
Mrs. Whipple jumped out, receiving a
compound fracture of the ankle bone
which will confine her to the bed sew
eral weeks. At the turn of the road
near the Harrington place the wagon
was overturned, the other Mrs. Whip
pie receiving such a shock that she
was rendered unconscious, remaining
in that condition long time, but it is
thought she will recover. The young
ladies were not injured. Drs. Perry
and Ward of Readsboro and Dr..
Thomas of Jacksonville were called.

The heavy shower Tuesday after
noon seemed to be in the nature of a
cloudburst at Sherman. The rain fell
in torrents, flooding the steam mill so
that it had to shut down.
About 80 from this town went to
Wilmington to the union picnic Tues
day. Arriving at the railroad grove at
noon the tables were set as soon as
possible, and ample justice was done
to the tempting viands with which
they were loaded. The feast was not
entirely finished when a heavy "sun
shower" began, interfering with the
exercises, which consisted of recita-
tions, singing, and a few remarks by
ministers who were present. Before
the exercises were finished another
shower drove the crowd to the cars,
which were in waiting, and the return
trip was made at o'clock instead of
5 o'clock, hard thunder shower &C.

Upon my return yesterday | found

the lake is situated the life-saving sta
ton erected by the government. Upon
the southern bank of the lake, beau

been built by the city of Buffalo for
Exposition uses.
The symmetrical grouping of build
ings will be at once noted by the OBJ
server. Beginning at the formal APP
proach, just north of the lake, the eye
follows northward between two rows
of ornamental columns to what is
known as the Forecourt. East Of this
are the State and Foreign Buildings,
forming in themselves very inter
esting feature of the Exposition. Near
these, also, are the buildings for the
special ordnance displays. West Of
the Forecourt are 7he outdoor Horti
cultural displays and the Womens
Building. We cross now the Trium-
phal Bridge, remarkable for its tall
piers richly ornamented with statues.
On either side are the Mirror Lakes,
which form part OF the Grand Canal,

are about one mile in length from
north to south, and half a mile wide.
There are $50 acres, including 1873 acres
of improved park lands and lakes.
Entering the grounds by way of the
Lincoln Parkway, the visitor obtains
a magnificent view of the picture pre-
scented. In the immediate foreground
is a portion of Delaware Park, one of
the famous beauty spots of Biffalo,

structure of marble. These two build
ings are in the style of Greek temples,
one containing reminders of the Par
thenon and the other resembling the
Erectheum upon the Acropolis at Ath
ems.
Between the North Bay and the lake,
the city of Buffalo has built at large
expense a new and beautiful bridge
of heavy masonry, known as the
Bridge of the Three Americas. This
bridge carries the broad thoroughfare
