The Orleans County Summer School will
open in this village on Monday, July 9th.
We are unable to state at this time who
the teachers are to be but it is certain that
an excellent corps of instructors will be
provided. These schools are greatly appre-
ciated by the teachers who by attending
them are able to get new ideas and inform
themselves as to the latest and best meth
ods in the various departments of their
work. The schools have been well attend
ed in the past and plans are being made
for good attendance at the coming ses-
sion.
Mrs. Elvira Cass, widow of the late Geo.
Cass. died at the home of her daughter in
Woodsville last Thursday night of heart
disease. Mrs. Cass had been in poor heait b
for some time but her death was unex-
pected. Her age was seventy years. She
had resided in this town for many years
and her kindly disposition and readiness
to aid those In need of assistance made her
large circle of friends. The funeral was
held Saturday afternoon at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Schuyler Bickford,
Revs. Warner and Johnson officiating.
She leaves five daug ghters and two sons.

| o. II. Mossman brought suit against
Walter Bostridge of Drownville, r. l., for
shooting valua BILE hound. The trial was
held at w. w. Miles office last Friday.
Mr.. Bostridge claimed that he shot the
hound at about a certain hour and while
1t was chasing doe and two fawns and
that it had been chasing the deer for over
an hour. Mr.. Mossman's evidence tended to
show that the dog was with Mr.. Mossman
and party at the time Mr.. Bostridge claimed
to have shot it, and If shot near the
hour claimed it must have been only few
minutes after the dog had left the party.
Mossman recovered $3.50. An appeal has
been taken by Bostrioge. The hound was
a very valuable one as it was swift runner
and was to have been entered in the races
this fall.
F. II. Pillsbury took possession of Hotel
Barton Wednesday. The hotel has been
favorably known by the commercial
travellers since it was built and under the
management of A. w. Mears has become
very popular with them. A large number
of summer boarders have been booked for
the season and should the mum Der increase
as seems likely the third floor rooms will
be thoroughly furnished. Mr.. Burtt who
was here with Mr.. Mears a part of last
winter will help Mr.. Pillsbury during the
summer. Mr.. Pillsbury will move his
stea mer from Willoughby lake here,
and it will be used for the accommodation
OF guests. Every endeavor will be made to
MAINTAIN the high standard of the house in
all its departments. Although he is not
an experienced hotel proprietor, Mr.. Pills
bury has lived in the house each winter
since it was built, and with the very effi-
cient help in the house, hopes to run a
| tirst-clsss summer resort and q good house
for the travelling public.
