Mrs. Lucy Ann Dean, of Gays
vile, widow of the late Lewis +.
Dean, a merchant of that village,
and mother of II. l.. Dean, well
known commercial traveller, died
Thursday morning after an illness
Of 20 wears with nervous prostration.
During all this time she had been
confined to the house, and for many
years to her room.
Bethel had a fire alarm Monday
afternoon for a blaze in a small I'M
occupied house near the G. V. Il.
dry-bridge, belonging to A. A.
Brooks. Sparks from locomotive
probably caused the fire which was
confined to the roof. The building
was used for a waiting room last
winter by the White River Railroad.
1t has long been an eye-sore and
ought now to be pulled down.
Edwin Arnold, third son OF Mrs.
Martha w. Arnold, postmistress of
Bethel, was thrown from horse
Monday, and sustained fracture Of
his right arm, both bones being
broken below the elbow. Drs. l..

Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece In the beauty Of Its landscapes.
1t ID not land for luxurious people,
however. The climate IL more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
natural scenery has a variety, a rich
ness and Il color that no other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
have not been affected by what we call
the advances Of modern civilization.
IN public conveniences, however,
GREECE is still far behind the times.
Athens Is the only place where the ho:
tells are telerable, and travellers WIG sc
into the interior must take their own
provisions and bedding, Even those
who make little excursions by carriage

Athens must carry lunch basket. be.

tourists may now be reached by car

had to 60 on horseback or on foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now

slate could have told who was to be
next governor, the name of the
nominee in 1904 and the name of
the willing candidates in 1906 and
1908. But times are changing some,
Vermont is swinging into the doubt

are not Of much account. However,
they are always of interest, and the

Hon. X. J. Kimball, another man

possibilities in 1902.

Mill Shattered by an Explosion.

Curtis Jennell's steam mill one mile
from the village OF Williamsville,
was torn to fragments at SIS Satnr-
day afternoon by an explosion which
threw the main part of the steam
boiler 10 rods into a brook, while
large parts of broken metal were
hurled through the air close to the
heads of men and boys who fled
from the mill with only IS seconds
warning, but who thereby escaped
with their lives. They had gotten
not over 100 yards away when the
explosion came, and parts of the
boiler were thrown between the two
parties fleeing. The plant had a
boiler insurance. The boiler was
inspected only few weeks ago.

It is said of George Eliot's literary

undercurrent of womanly sympathy.
He had been reading "Scenes Of Cler.

book aside he said. "Well. this writer
possesses great ability. but ! should
say, despite the name. that George
