Last Saturday was day on which
several events occurred, natural and arti-
fetal, synopsis of which in part will be
given; none of them, however, was of
the first magnitude:
The morning came clear and bright
| with every appearance of first-class
sap day; but soon a snow squall came
along, which caused it to look more like
February than April. Its duration was
short, however, and when fairly past
Daniel Bryant drove up with Miss Mary
Brooks, she to visit at the Bennett place,
where he left her, and then took in our
managing director and proceeded on to
the lower part of the town on spring
business.
Next in order of events came one of
the selectmen to see what our personal
worldly possessions consisted of; nor did
it take him long to find out.
That same day, Will Swan got his left
thumb caught between two sticks of
timber at Coles mill, severing the end
of it, back of the nail, except narrow
strip of skin on the under side. 1t was
readjusted and the wound well cared for,
but that it will heal so as to avoid am
putation is very doubtful.
The following evening several boys
went smelt fishing, and report says they
succeeded in procuring enough for a
mess.
The same mail that carried my last
weeks Democrat letter away, making
mention of Mr.. Page coming home from
Tacoma, brought another from his
daughter, Mrs. Jennie Howe of West
Minot, stating that her father had ar
rived there safe and sound; that they
were all delighted to see him once more,
and that he was equally glad to see them.
| he reports no serious accident during
his journey either way, distance OF
nearly 5000 miles. A kind invitation to
come down there and hear the story of
the winter visit may be accepted in due
time.
Last week we had an interview with
Quinby Perham, of Woodstock, and
heard him relate his late visit to Wash
inglon, d. C. He saw the President,
climbed to tho top of the Washington
monument, visited Mount Vernon, the
national cemetery, and various other
| places of interest. Mr.. Perham has a
good faculty for telling story, and
since have natural gift for listening
to one, it made the occasion very enjoy
able, at least on my part.
Since moving to Bryant's Pond in
1864, the Baptist church has lost seven
deasons, and now has none filling that
office. The deacons who have passed
away are: Christopher Bryant, John
Lapham, Dustin Bryant, Ephraim Law
renee, William Thomas, Charles Lap
ham and Richard l.. Cole.

stricken with apoplexy shortly after
arising Monday morning, April Sd, and
died before medical assistance could be
summoned. Mr.. Shepley was born in
st. Cloud, Mimi. July 4, 1860, and was
son of James c. and Mary FessendeD

road business, he bought large ranch

himself to raising cattle. In 1896, after
having considerable experience in
Western railroads, he went to New York
City and assumed charge of the extern.
sion work of several of the street railway

who has recently returned from an ex
tended trip abroad. Mr.. Shepley was q
member of the Worcester, Hancock and
Waentung clubs of Worcester, and Of

Spring with all its delights of paint,
paper, soap and dinners taken standing
in one corner of the pantry, is again
upon us. We never feel fully qualified
to address Sabbath School convention
just after moving stoves and shaking
carpets. Our thoughts seem to dwell
more upon mill privileges where dam
is one of the leading features. Building
hedge fence among thorn bushes and
furnishing feed for black flies, is lux
ury to the annual house cleaning time.
We can, there in the sweet solitude of
