days the first of the week and didn't

Some of our people are quite surprised
on receiving garden seeds from D. c.,
in Proctor envelopes something that
never happened before. Garden seeds
won't cut any ice in this vicinity-too
late in the season. The Governor ques-
ton is already settled in favor of the
other fellow, as far as Lamoille county
is concerned, without any garden-sass.
A lucky yet sad accident happened to
Mr.. Manning's new steam mill last We'd
nesday afternoon-lucky for the reason
no one was killed or hurt. There were
several men in the boiler-room raising
the boiler when one of the guy chains
broke letting the smokestack ninety feet
tall fell to the ground and into the river.
Had it fallen in the opposite direction
it must have killed all in the room. It
will take several days to repair the
break.

of this place, started for Danville, VT,

the present His wife, Mrs. McClaren,

leave behind.
Bert Lanpher and his wife Mary have
run into another snag or disagreement,
and Bert has again bid adieu to his
beloved wife, for the fourth and last
time he says. The circumstances, as
we are informed, are as follows: Mr..
Lanpher came in from the sugarplace
to warm and rest himself few minutes
and loaded the stove with wood. Mary
protested, claiming it was hot enough
for health and that she was nearly
smothered with the heat whereupon
Mr.. L. caught up a pail of ice-cold wa
ter that stood nearby and dashed it all
over his beloved wife Mary, which
tended to quench the outside heat for a
moment. Bert took the advantage of
that moment and saved his life and rep
utation as kind and affectionate hus-
band.
