lie has been a most lucky man in the
benefits received by his farm in the
development of the granite quarries

In the settlement of the business of
the late George w. Lamson of Barre,
and his partner, James X. Prize in the
quarry district of our town we are told
that Mr.. Pirie has the fine dark stock
quarry known as the Wells, Lamson
q Co. S quarry. We suspect that this
property is by very far the most valu-
able property i'll our town., with the
exception of the Jones Bros. quarry,
little distance from it. The owner
| of it must have a goodly pile of
'rocks' in his pocket, as well as in
his dump pile.
One day last week Miss Cynthia
| Townsend who lives alone in her
house i'll Mill village, was standing in
a high chair, while house cleaning.
For some reason she lost her balance

very badly. The case required that
later she be moved, and she was taken
! to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. S.
| Hopkins. DR.. Watson was called to
her, and the foot badly swollen, was
carefully examined and attended to-.
1t is hoped that no bones are broken,
but for time she will need to keep
very quiet.
