PROBABLY A SUICIDE.
Miss Ellen Lynch Of St Albans Run
over BY Electric Car.

ST. Adams, March sO.-Aiiss Ellen
Lynch Of Thomas street, this city, was
run over and probably instantly killed
at about $500 last night ON the bay
line Of tie st. Albans street railway.
Miss Lynch was last seen alive at the
home Of Hugh Hamilton, just below
the trestle on the lake road
The next known Of the matter was
when car No. 2, in charge Of Motornan
Baseom and Conductor Waits, which left
this city at $40 o'clock swung slowly
around the curved trestle, the motorlnan
when about a cars length away, noticed
dark object lying cross way of the
trick near the west end Of the tres
tie Although he could not distinguish
what the object was, he shouted and re-
versed his car, stopping within its
length, but the fender had passed above
the unfortunate woman and she was
caught and rolled along BY the car
trucks.
Dr. a. a. Slyeels hurried to the scene
81 the accident Dr. Skeels examined
the body as it lay beneath the trucks
and decided that the woman had been
dead for some time, being probably
instantly killed. The selectmen, +. j.
Holdridge, Sidney Sheltus and John Cor
liss were notified and soon arrived ON
the scene and ordered the removal Of
the body.
The case is one which rather points
to generalization, az the woman had
been acting gueerly for two years past
and her people have been watching her
closely.
Miss Lynch is survived BY a mother,
Mrs. Mary Ann Lynch Of this city and
a sister, Mrs Bradley Jackson Of Grand
Isle

RECALLING OLD TIME SCENES,

RECALLING OLD TIME SCENES.
 H. Clay Judd visited his birthplace, last Sunday afternoon, at the old Judd homestead on Chestnut Ridge. A new house and barn have taken the place of the old Colonial buildings which were once so familiar 60 years and more ago. The house was two stories in one story in the rear. The great stone chimney laid up in clay from a neighbours which was used instead of lime mortar in those days. A huge fireplace where hung the crane with trammal and hooks which were used for hanging pots and kettles over the hre where our mothers and grand mothers cooked their potluck every day in the week, which was composed Of corned beef, or mutton and pork, potatoes and turnipS and an Indian bag pudding eaten with molasses and milk in place of butter. P. T. Bar mum used to say that the bag pudding was eaten first and meat last, and we were often told that the boy that ate | the most bag pudding was to have the most meat. Our rye bread was baked in the brick oven. Also pies and gin ger cake. Johnny made of Indian l meal and rye short cake were baked l before the great wood fire, but in later years tin over was more commonly used for baking meats and bread. The boys went to school winters and stayed at home summers to hoe corn and po- tatoes, and worked six days in the week with no half days off on Satur- days as is now the custom. In the out districts neighborhood prayer meet ing was quite an event. 1t brought the good people together, who seemed enjoy social, religious meeting. The social part of the meeting came in when the religious part had been dis missed. Apples and cider were most commonly passed and some times doughnuts with pie and home made cheese. The children's place was to keep still when the old folks talked It was a privilege for the young folks to do the snutfing of the tallow can dies which needed attention every half hour. When those great snow storms came years ago and blocked the highways our fathers did not wait for the village people to come down ano dig them out but clubbed together joined teams and Strove to see who would get into the Center first in the morning. The village tavern or the country store was the rounding uk place where the farmer and farmer boys had a jolly time and made pleas ure of hard work.

A WASHINGTON TEA,

Wednesday evening, February P, the ladies of St Paul's gave tea in La borie's hall, which proved in every way a delightful affair. The long ball. room was fitted up as reception room in true colonial style. The walls were draped with flags and bunting and decorated with many fine old pictures of George Washington and his wife. His family group. a large engraving loaned by Mrs AnSOn Smith, and two very old pictures in cOlors of his home at Mt Vernon and his tomb, loaned by Mrs Henrietta Smith, were of special tables set with rare pieces of bric-a- brac and old china, the property of Mrs Albert Coan, spinning wheels and antique chairs gave homelike appear ance to the room. At each end of the dancing hall is an open fireplace in which was blazing fire with the old fashioned andirons, shovel and tongs, warming pan, etc., to keep up the il- fusion of colonial times. In the spa ciOuS dining room, where bountiful supper was served, the long table was decorated with the national col OrS, lighted with candles and graced with two miniature cherry trees, with their accompanying hatchets. The costume and tea was served by Mar tha Washington herself. Laborie hal is an ideal place for such a gathering as in Revolutionary days it was ia. nous tavern. It is not impossible that the Father of our country made that his stopping place when he passed through Ripton (as tradition says he did) and dined in that same room. Mrs Laborie, as always, did every thing for the comfort of her guests, and her cheerful old-time courtesy added much to the evenings pleasure. A 'bus load of 16 came over from Shel. ton, and after supper dancing was in- dulged in till late hour.
 Friday evening, the annual masquer. ade was held at LabOrie'S hall and was better and more enjoyable than ever.
