Thomas Lynch, superintendent,
employed in excavating trench
on Elliot street, was caught by cave
in yesterday morning and buried up
to his neck. His companions extri-
Gated him and he received nothing
but bad scare. The ditch is nearly
10 feet deep. Mr.. Lynch's escape
from death was very narrow. Had it
not been for the presence of his com
panions he would have smothered.
The pet coach dog belonging to
Lewis Higgins, which disappeared
from home last October, was found
last week in Milestone brook, having
been dead but few days, according
to veterinary's theory, and the ques-
tion to its whereabouts all this while
is puzzling one. George NJ. Hol-
brooks pet disappeared in the same
way last year, and was subsequently
found dead near the same stream.
AT the Unitarian church last Sun
day morning, Rev. Mr.. Osgood, the
pastor, recognized Wesley Day by de-
voting his sermon to John Wesley and
the early Wesleyan movement in En-
gland. The hymns sung were those
written by John and Charles Wesley
and Rev. Mr.. Osgood's sermon
dealt with their life and work, and
what they did in England and Amer
| lea in founding the Methodist move
ment. There was large congregation.
The Republican correspondent,
with keen eye out for old friends,
writes: The family of martins which
have annually summered in W. G.
Horizons bird house on Brook street is
missing. Twelve featherless birds were
found dead yesterday morning, to-
gether with the old ones, while some
60 others have entirely disappeared,
owing, it is thought, to the extreme
cold and wet weather. These birds
have made their home in the same
locality for upward of % years.
Many will 60 to Keene today to see
that city turn itself inside out from
seems to be the only town hereabouts
with spunk enough to get up an old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration,
beginning with the tin horns and bells
at dawn and closing with the set piece
good night" in fireworks at 8 p. m. or
Whereabouts. There will be the parade
of the ancients and horribles, the civic
and military parade in the afternoon,
and bands playing all the time-quite
enough to drive good dog crazy. If
you feel lonesome and silent at home
go to Keene.

George Kenney of Guilford was
brought before Judge Newton last |
Friday afternoon and fined s. and |
costs for drunkenness, which he paid. |
Chief Hall, Officer Thayer and Mrs.
Powers of the Humane Society, had |
been chasing Kenney all the morning, |
driving to Guilford in search of him,
as it was alleged that he was intoxi-
Gated and abusive to his horse. But |
Kenney lodged them all and the
officers drove home disappointed. Half
an hour later Mrs. Powers saw the
man in his team on Flat street. Act
ing with her accustomed vigor she
jumped in, took the reins and drove
the rig to Whites stables, where the
man was held until the officers arrived.
Kenney was so paralyzed with aston
ishment that he made no protest.
