They used to sing, "Mid the pastures
green of the blessed isles" and now we
can sing, "Mid the pastures green on
the rocky hills; for never were they
more fresh and green on the 10th of
October than they are to-day, we verify
believe.
Big game still remains scarce about
here, or at any rate it keeps out of sight.
At least it is natural to infer that such
is the case from the fact that last Satur.
day night two fellows went out skunk
hunting, and after travelling several
miles through fields and pastures they
returned home, and reported the killing
of one hedgehog. The next afternoon
one of the men went out and succeeded
in shooting one gray squirrel.
Allon Cole was through here recently
for the purpose of setting fox and mink
traps, and reported that some one had
got in ahead of him. Whether there

tendency to start people out visiting,

made us very congenial visit, and now
Charles Durham and wife of West
Bethel are down on visit; to-day they
have gone on to Patch Mountain to see
how it looks up there. Edgar Morgan
and wife have gone on visit to Kenne
bunkport, where she was born and was
reared; but which place she has not
seen for more than thirty years. She
has several near relatives there, and
they expect to be absent about week
in order to visit them all.
1t is reported on good authority tina,
Daniel Bryant's youngest son was mar
ried last Sunday, but since it will prob.
ably be reported from the proper source
nothing need be mentioned about il
here.
And it is reported on equally as good
authority that our mail carrier, John
Hathaway, in company with his wife
became the parents Of the fifth boy baby
on the same day. That there was some
disappointment in regard to the sex
there can be no reasonable doubt. And
yet there seems to be nothing we can dc
about it except perhaps to ask the
question "Why?"
