Death of Mrs. Martha Moore.

In the recent death in our village OF
Mrs. Martha Moore, another link con-
Meeting us with the past is broken,
Mrs. Moore's maiden name was Hough-
ton and she was sister to the late
Henry Houghton, of the firm of Hough-
ton & Keuch, and Marshall Houghton
of South Newfane She was born in
December, 1916, and had therefore just
passed her S7th birthday. In 1885 she
was married to Ephraim Moore and
went the same day to the home which
was hers for some 81 years, until her
death. She was greatly attached to
the place which was her home for so
many years, spending her summers
there almost to the last although some
times alone and at some distance from
neighbors. Her husband died in 1856
There were six children: Arlette, who
died in infancy; Edna, who died some
years since; Dwight and Hiland, SOL
diers in the Civil war, members of the
10th VT. Volunteers. Dwight came back
from the war as far as Brattleboro
where he died; Hiland died in Wash
ington, his body was embalmed and
brought home and the brothers lie bur-
led side by side in our village cemetery.
The two younger children only are now
living; Mrs. Ira c. Lazelle of North
field, Mass. and Marshall A. of East
Dover. These, with all the living
grandchildren, seven in number, were
present at the funeral. Mrs. Moore was
for many years a respected member OF
the East Dover Baptist church. The
funeral was held from the Baptist
church Dec. 30. Rev. w. j. Vile. the
pastor. officiating, assisted by Rev. G.
S. Sherman, former pastor.

Sweeping Clean.

For hardwood or stained floors ana
those covered with mating. a halr
broom should be used. The hardwood
floors need to be busted after sweep
ing. A very easy way of doing this Is
to make q Canton flannel bag of some
dark color and tie It over common
broom. A vigorous rubbing with this
covered broom will add considerable
polish TO a dim floor, the Womans
Home Compan on declares
For wiring floors heavy Canton fan
mel makes a good cloth Cut con-
venient size and overcast the edges
coarsely. This is also an excellent
plan for cleaning paint. busters maze
of cheese cloth, with the hens run IN,
are soft to use and wash easily. Ola
India or fculard silk is the best thing
I have ever tried for br;c-a-brac and
small articles.
Ali dueters should be washed ana
dried after using. There is nothing
gained by using a cloth filled win
dust. 1t will not make anything Clean
If brooms both large and small, are
often washed and dr'ed. then turned
nm on their handles. they will sweep
cleaner and last longer. There should
be a convenient place for keeping
brooms. drstpans ard cloths. II VIII

NOTES ON SPORTS. i.

The Printers had game scheduled
with Leland & Gray Tuesday evening
but cancelled the contest on account
of the extreme low temperature wnich
made a drive OF II miles and return
dangerous undertaking.
The Williston basketball team, which
was defeated 1915 by the Y. M c. A.
last week, wishes to play second
game here during the Easter vacation
II viii have to do some tall practising
to make 1t interesting for Brattleboro
Since the recent snowstorm many
devotees of snowsboeing have been out
to try the sport, but the snow Is YET
too soft to make the walking good. A
slight thaw followed by freeze and
then a light snow would make the
going of the best
1t is said that the Townshend team
was so elated at its victory over the
Catholic union team Saturday even
ing that It will challenge the Y. NJ. U
A. team for game here. If the Lee
land & Gray boys really think they
are as good as all that 1t might do them
good to go up against Brattleboros
champion five, although 1t is likely that
the game would not prove over ana
above exciting to the spectators.
The F. NJ. T. A. team of Turner's
Falls will be the opponent OF the To-
cal Y. NJ. C. A. in Festival hall tomor-
row evening. This aggregation is con-
sidered one of the fastest In western
Massachusetts, and has the idea that II
can defeat Brattleboro on ats own
floor. The holding of this opinion VIII
consequently make tomorrows game
unusually interesting. For the second
game the Company / team VIII go
against the Y. NJ C. A. second team.
The Catholic Union basketball team
journeyed through the snow to Towns-
bend Saturday for a game with the Lee
land & Gray ball tossers who nave peeh
working hard the past two weeks I'M
der the direction of George Schiidrlli-
Ter. a former Brattleboro boy ana now

Company I was defeated in Keene,
N. H., Saturday evening by the athletic
association five of that city, the score
being 1916. The game was replete with
brilliant plays, and the applause was
equally divided between the Vermont
and New Hampshire players, 9uiheen
nut up a great game at center for the
militia men, throwing one goal from
nearly the length of the hall. Mickey
also played well at guard, doing some
clever blocking. The Company | team
speaks in high praise of the treatment
thew received at Keene. and are anx-
ious to play there again. The Players
left Keene about II a. m. Sunday
morning and drove TO Brattleboro'
reaching here about 5 o'clock severely
chilled.

CHARGED WITH wiTcHcRAFT.

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 25.--Mary Tam.
burelli has been arraigned before a
justice on complaints made by Louis
Gennaccaro and wife. who declare the
woman is exerting an uncanny ,infiu.
ence upon them. The mysterious
death of some chickens. pet dog and a
cat, financial reverses and some other
misfortunes are attributed to her. Al
legged threatening to kill the couple
and to burn their home over their
heads led them to resort to a court OF
law.
Justice Johnston. not being able to
find any law for witchcraft, held the
woman for her alleged threats.
