Cyrus R. Bagley of Windsor is
the owner of sleigh that is certainly
lis years old. 1t was made for Silas
Perry, who was one Of the first set
tiers of Woodstock, and was in the
possession Of the Perry family until
last fall, when Mr.. Bagley bought it.
It has not been used for the last 30
years, except few times. The wood
in the sleigh is sound. 1t was built
of white oak, fashioned by hand.
The body is over five feet long, with
broad seat and plenty of space in
front. The sides are carved. The
runners are somewhat longer than
the body and a little over a foot in
hight. The sleigh is now painted
bright red with old fashioned flow
ers for ornaments, and it attracts
more attention upon the street than
many of the stylish tunouts.

From Sunny Tennessee. "
Iron City, Tenn, March

Iron City, Tenn, March 7.
Editor of the Age:
Noting a quotation in your valua-
BILE paper from letter to my sister,
Mrs. Knapp, mentioning the ex-
IRENE and unusual low temperature
in "sunny Tennessee" on the morn
ing of Feb. 18th, it might be admis-
sable of an explanation that the
''weather man" evidently pressed the
wrong button and switched your
northern wave over the entire South,
even to the Gulf. We trust he will
not be guilty Of such a grave offense
and gross violation Of all laws gov
erning the Bureau the second time.
If it should occur we shall prefer
charges and take prompt action for
his immediate removal. We are
subjected to oppressive taxation to
support and maintain the Weather
Bureau and we shall insist on the
elimination of the "below zero"
weather, or enter our protest and
file our petition for the adjustment
OF that branch Of the government
service.
Yes, this winter has been record
breaker-nothing approaching the
average low temperature during my
thirty-seven years experience in
Tennessee. However, change
came soon after the extreme cold
date and on Feb. 18th people were
planning and planting gardens. For
a week or more no fires have been
kindled except for cooking; maxi
mum temperature 70 to "a for sew
eral days. Wonder if my Vermont
friends would not enjoy it. Come
Sorth, young man, especially if you
propose to engage in agriculture and
stock raising. l grant you that there
are attractions and some advantages

BURGLARY IN BE- HEL
Tom Blake, a Russian, Charged
with the Crime and jailed.

Deputy Sheriff Cushman of Bethe
brought prisoner, who gives his
name as Tom Blake, a Russian, tc
the county Jail Tuesday, He is held
on two charges of burglary alleged
to have been committed by him at
Bethel.
The prisoner arrived at the pen
halffrozen, wearing no gloves or
mittens, and his light overcoat was
little protection from the cold dur
ing the l8-mile drive from Bethel.
Tailor Thomas however, looked out
for him and he was all right the
next day.
Some time Sunday night the store
of Abbott & Cady at Bethel was
broken into, and II. B. Leases jew
elry store was entered the same
night.
A stranger who had been seen
about the village Sunday evening
was suspected. He had been seen
going toward Randolph Monday
morning and Officer Julius Lamson
of that place being notified was on
the lookout and caught him about
10 a. M, with property in his pos
session answering the description of
that lost by Abbott and Cady. Of |
ficer E. E. Cushman of Bethel ac-
companied by Mr.. Cady and H. B.
Lease drove to Randolph, identified
much of the property in the posses
sion of the stranger and brought
him back to Bethel:
Blake, the prisoner, was given a
hearing before Justice R. j. Flint
Tuesday morning and was bound
over to Windsor county court in the
sum of $500 in each of two counts
for alleged burglary.
1t is said that Blake also burglar
lied an Italian fruit store at White
River Junction Monday, taking 81
in pennies. Several hundred pen
MES were on his possession when ar
rested. Of the property found Alb
bolt & Cady identified as theirs one
purse containing two SIS bills and
$13.35 in coin, one pair of new
Douglas shoes, six handkerchiefs,
pair of stockings and a sweater, Mr..
Lease identified five cheap gold
rings, one gold chain and three
more valuable rings belonging to
his customers. The other property
found on the man were 422 pennies,
Len-cent piece, five-cent piece, ten
cheap gold plated studs, razor, pock-
Of comb, six metal match boxes, new
rubber tobacco pouch.
Abbott & Cady's store was enter
ed through side window which
was pried open in some way.
States Attorney Batchelder thinks
Blake is "yegman," particularly
dangerous member of the tramp
family, but there is no evidence yet
that he is working with a gang
around here.
