from Dartmouth College, medical de-

medicine in Plainfeld. He moved to
Ohio in 1856, and finally established

O'Clock The gas pipe was being re-
Shepard came in from supper he
noticed the smell of gas. Thinking
he would investigate to see if he could
find leak in the pipe in the window,
he lighted a match and the noise of
combustion soon revealed the leak
which proved to be so large that a
good sized flame was the result. Peo-
pie passing by did not know whether
it was new moving picture Christ
mas window or not, for there was cer-
tainly good deal of active display.
The woodwork was kept soaked with
water until a plumber could come
and shut the gas off in the cellar.
1t happened just at supper time when
the plumbers were at their meals and
thus the siege with the flames was
kept up longer on that account.
Little damage was done.
Mrs. Matilda Howland was robbed
in Lowell on Thanksgiving Day. She

Rowland is stone mason in this city
and recently Mr.. and Mrs Rowland
had sold house in this city owned
by them to Mrs. Julia Gallison of

purchase money that Mrs Howland set
out for Lowell. Thompson pleaded
guilty in Lowell court and was bound
over in the sum $1,000. Mr.. Rowland
went at once to Lowell and OH Wed.

scouts the idea of ipfidelity on her
part and says she was simply eager to
invest the money to advantage.
Thompson has lived much in Barre
