MINISTER.
Home DESTROYED by British.


The friends of DR.. and Mrs. r. A.
Beddy of New York, who formerly
lived in town will be interested to hear
that Mrs Beddy has recently received
a letter from her mother, Mrs. Susan
M. Hertzog of Jagersfontein, Orange
Free State, whom she had mourned as
dead, not having heard from her be-
fore for ten months. Mrs. Hertzog
writes that her property had been de-
stroyed by the British army, that she
and her children had been transported
from their home to Port Elizabeth
a distance of 800 miles, and that they
are now confined in prison in that city.
Mrs. Hertzog was one of the wealth.
est women in the Free State before
the war began and her letter intimates
that she has been deprived of every
thing. One of her sons is Supreme
Court Judge Hertzog, who is the lead
er of the large Boer Commando which
invaded Cape Colony month ago and
is now less than 100 miles north of
Cape Town.
Mrs. Hertzog thus closes her letter:
THE enemy have taken our farms and
have eXiled us far away from home
but we feel satisfied and are of good
cheer as God is still with our people.
We want for nothing as our merciful
Father provides for us in all things,
even though we are fast in the hands
of the enemy"

No Change in the Towns Hotel
Status.

Nothing has been done the past
week indicating what the future of
Towns hotel block is to be. The
hearing before the probate court upon
the application of heirs for a guardian
for Mrs. Towns will be held at Judge
Reads office tomorrow. 1t is probable
there will be no opposition to such an
appointment, and it is hardly probable
any valid objection will be made to
the sale which was consummated by
Mrs. Towns in December, as the price
is probably as large as could have
been secured from any other party,
local or otherwise. The terms OF
sale were $4,000 including the per
sonal property, divided $4,000 and
SIS 900 respectively. The original mort
gage of 10000 to the Brattleboro bank
remains upon the property, to which
is added a second mortgage to Mrs.
Towns for 100000 and it is understood
that $4,000 was paid in cash. While
all citizens would be pleased to see the
property in the hands of some one VINO
would continue it as a hotel, it is i'm
probabe that sentiment of this nature
would lead any parties to pay larger
price. and if not the courts Will not be
ant to annul the sale as it is made.
No steps have as yet been made
looking toward the organizing OF the
new bank which was chartered by the
last legislature. A suitable place for
business could not probably be found
II the hotel property is not changed in
to business places. In case this is
done those in control of the charter
would probably organize at once, If it
is not. the time of beginning is lndet-
mite.

Most persons, observes Chambers
Journal, are apt to regard the point at
which the water in the domestic sauce
pan boils as a fixed quantity, unalter-
able as the laws of the Modes and
Persians; but the cooks of a certain
town in New Mexico have discovered
that in consequence of its great alti-
tude above the sea, water boils there
at POP degrees Fahrenheit, instead of
at the normal 212 degrees. This
means that all the cooking calcula-
lions depending upon the heat of the
water have to be revised. Everything
from a breakfast egg to a silver side
of beef takes longer to cook than it
does lower down in the atmosphere.
Another thing which initiates against
the calculations of the ordinary cook
of the same town is that the air is so
dry that vegetables are deprived of
half their natural moisture, and must
be left long time in water to recover
themselves before being cooked.

Fishing Through the Ice.

Fishing through the ice has been a
sport INDUCED in by many of the To-
cal devotees during the past two
weeks, and a number of good strings
have been secured, mostly pickerel
and pike. Opposite South Charles
town, II. W. Robertson secured a pike
which tipped the scales at 101a pounds,
in the Connecticut river. Nearly
every day men and boys are seen at
many points between Williams river
mouth and South Charlestown, and
considerable fishing has been done at
Minards pond. A number of the To-
cal fishermen have been up to Suna-
pee lake the past week, and report
good success at many points on the
lake. although there the principal re-
suits are small-sized pickerel. A
