MT. OCHEPETUCK NOTES.
Another largely attended vesper
service was held last Sunday after
noon. 1t was thought that the pre-
vious Sunday had witnessed the high
water mark of attendance with 81
there, but last Sunday there were "a
present, filling the bungalow to over
flowing. The meeting was full of
interest and power, many taking part.
This was probably the last meeting of
the season, as Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson
expect to be away next Sunday and
may not remain at the bungalow
much longer.

Ohestnuts are to be plentiful this
fall, and few frosty nights will open
the burrs for the children and
squirrels. Game is seen in abund-
ance this fall. and when October LIST
rolls in the hunter will no doubt reap
harvest worthy of the effort put
forth in the search. In fact every
thing this fall seems to be in abund-
ance in the crop line.
Deputy Sheriff Howard informs us
that the parties who broke into Olin
Newell's and Dave Newell's house
few weeks ago, are supposed to be the
professional yeggmen who operate
from Maine to New York through the
country towns. Two of the men have
sandy compilations and one is dark,
and they are about % to 20 years of
age. They do not disturb a house
that is occupied, but will if possible
attract people from their homes and
enter the house in the meantime. Any
suspects should be reported to the
authorities at once, with a careful
description of the men. Howard spent
several days in trying to locate them,
and followed them into Massachusetts.
