 The bird captured by Charles Rock at Glynville proves to be an American coot. It was identified by George Leonard, who says that 1t is not rare bird in this iati- tude. While It Is not unusual to find the coot in the marshlands of this section, these birds nearly always migrate early, and 1t is surprising that this one should have fingered so late. MT. Leonard is a taxidermist and will mount the bird, which will be exhibited at the public ii- brary next wesk.
 Boston, Post: Some time ago, when the Rev. Julian $. Wadsworth was pastor
 of the Methodist church in Stafford
 Springs, Conn.,, the leading soprano of
 the choir was Miss Pearl Arnold. One
 of the young men In the church was Fred ! A. Sweet. In due course MT. Sweet suc-
 cessfully urged matrimony upon Miss
 Arnold, but ere their joys could be fulfill
 ed the Rev. Mir. Wadsworth had removed
 to the Central Methodist church in
 Brockton. Not to be daunted by little
 thing like that, the couple, when ready
 to be yoked, went to Brockton and were
 married on Christmas day in the parson-
 age, where they were guests of MT. and
 Mrs. Wadsworth during their stay in the
